Herbal Medicine is precursor to pharmaceutical. Chinese Herbal Medicine is composed of over 2000 herbs (leaves, twigs, stems, roots, etc...) which are not all available in United States. There are also many great native herbs that are grown in different parts of United States of America. 



Herbal formulas are made from organic substances that are safe and are great complement to acupuncture, Naet, and other alternative modalities. When receiving herbal medicine, one should always let the practitioner know about all the other medications taken. There are some restrictions, prohibitions and cautions with using some types of herbal medicine. That is why it is very important to consult your practitioner, although most of these herbs are available in different stores. Also, just because someone you know had great results with one herbal formula, doesn't mean it should be the same for you.

There are many classic formulas that are given for different conditions such as: cold and cough, allergies, etc... Also many conditions require customized herbal formulas.



Herbal formulas are prescribed in different forms :

- Raw Herbs that are to be cooked usually 20 to 30 minutes and be taken as tea at least twice a day and usually are very potent and have strong taste and smell.

- Powdered Herbs that are mixed with warm water  have strong taste but no cooking is required.

- Pills and or capsules are the most common forms that are easy to carry and are to be taken with or before meals.
