Herbal medicine is a treatment modality that was developed over thousands of years to restore energy balance to the opposing forces of energy and improve health. Herbs can be used in many ways including:

• teas
• tinctures
• poultices
• other preparations as well as taken internally.

Depending on the patient’s condition, the tongue and pulse are examined in a Chinese diagnosis way, after which the patient’s herbs are selected. First, take three doses. If the results are positive, stick with the herbs; if not, switch them up at your next consultation.

The treatment can be used to

• ease an illness
• as a preventive measure
• as a general tonic or
• ‘wellness’ treatment.
