Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is a major facet of traditional Chinese medicine. The fundamental premise of Chinese medicine is that every condition is the result of energy deficiency, excess or inactivity in our internal organs. While acupuncture balances the body’s energy through the external application of needles, herbal medicine alters the body’s internal energy by restoring the internal organs’ efficiency.
Chinese herbs are classified according to their specific qualities and functions. The various combinations of their qualities and applications give the herbs properties that can influence and potentially correct inefficiencies in the patterns of a dysfunctional body. They can also restore balance by nourishing the body.
Herbal treatment should be based on each individual body’s constitution, environment and medical condition. One of the most important advantages of Chinese medicine is the power of mixing. A typical formula contains four to 15 herbs. Herbs are combined not only to maximize their effects but so that the formula can be used to address a wider variety of problems. By combining different herbs, you can attain the desired result through their unique qualities and varying quantities. As a patient’s needs and conditions change, so does the formula. Sometimes a change is necessary on a weekly basis.
From our extensive experience, we found that herbs play an important role in balancing and harmonizing overall health and wellbeing. We often prescribes herbs to support acupuncture treatment, and tailor herbal prescriptions to the constitution of each patient she treats.
In the case of infertility, the diagnosis and emphasis on herbal formulas is much more complex at different times in a woman’s menstrual cycle. We develop our formulas to enhance the body’s efficiency and receptiveness prior to pregnancy. We modifie the combinations to suit different patients and the stages of their cycles. Being a specialist in infertility, we have extensive knowledge and experience that enable to customize prescriptions precisely and, ultimately, more effectively for each patient – with extremely positive results. We have treated numerous patients who have succeeded in conceiving naturally and producing excellent egg quality by following cycles of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)
Carefully designed Chinese herbal formulas rarely have side effects. However, many people don’t know how to formulate and apply them properly. We recommend that her patients not self-prescribe herbal remedies that they have heard enhance fertility or address any other health issue. Knowledge and expertise are necessary to select the safe dosage at the right time and in the appropriate combination.
