Let Me Tell You About Chinese Herbs

Herbs have been used in many cultures around the world for thousands of years. Herbs are a strong adjunct to an acupuncture treatment. By using mostly plant leaves, seeds, roots, flowers, mineral and other natural ingredients together, powerfully direct the body to heal itself. Often if a condition is mild enough then only dietary therapy will be prescribed, but if the condition requires more, then herbal remedies are prescribed.

Herbs are an amazing and powerful aspect of Chinese Medicine. Each herb used at my Kansas City Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine pharmacy is organic, prepared without sulfur and grown without pesticides in China. The herbs go through further testing in the United States

Here's a link on the herbal process and rigorous testing.

Every patient receives an individualized formula based on his pattern. This formula is based on a combination of herbs that have an individual and specific function in assisting your body in its journey to balance. As the patient’s condition evolves and improves, the original formula will be modified to follow the changes. There has been a significant amount of research in China and the West validating the efficacy and merit of Chinese herbal medicine.

Here are a couple of articles that I found informative.
