Herbs of the Traditional Chinese Medicine

The fundamentals of Chinese herbal medicine are built on extensive, centuries-long exploration, research and analysis that focused on healing and restoration of energy. Chinese herbal medicine is not restricted to plants and includes a wide variety of naturally occurring materials that individually or in combination have therapeutic effects that help balance and maintain health, and offer multiple approaches and modalities to treatments of particular diseases or medical conditions.
