Chinese herbal medicine, like acupuncture has been tried and tested for thousands of years.

Chinese herbs are made up of different parts of plants including roots, bark, flowers as well as minerals.

It’s strengths lie not only in the active ingredients of the individual herbs but in the synergistic effect of a formula (usually a combination of 6-12 herbs) which works to treat different health imbalances.

I favour prescribing Chinese herbal medicine in the form of pills or powder which are easy and convenient to take although I do usually stock some popular freshly made herbal soup packs to help with womens health issues and immunity.

Chinese herbal medicine is available as an add on to your acupuncture session or if you are an existing patient you might be able to pick up what you need after a short consultation.
