Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese Herbal Medicine is a powerful and natural way to correct digestive, reproductive and respiratory issues as well as organ ailments and pain. In China, the names of herbal medicines such as 'Ren Shen' (Ginseng) and 'Sheng Jiang' (Ginger) are as much a part of the language as aspirin and cough medicine are a part of our language here in the United States. Naturally occurring in nature, these plants, seeds, fruits, shells, etc. have proven effective in treating heath issues ranging from infertility to migraines for thousands of years.

Today, many formulas for pharmaceutical drugs are based on the isolation of the active ingredients in naturally occurring herbs. The strength of Chinese herbal medicines is generally greater than food and cause far fewer side effects than pharmaceutical drugs. While some side effects do exist with these herbs individually, appropriate dosing and proper combinations of herbs for the individual patient make Chinese herbal formulas a very safe and effective health option. Here is one example of how our own bio-medicine differs from Chinese Herbal Medicine.

In the "JAMA/Archives of Internal Medicine" Feb 26,2007 article about two medicinal trials, we see that when treating pain, OTC aspirins and Ibuprofen contribute to creating high blood pressure. Conversely, Chinese herbal preparations for reducing pain and inflammation are more likely to reduce blood pressure.
