The written history of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Chinese
herbs dates back at least 2000 years. Consequently, we benefit from
several thousand years of field trails, knowledge and experience.
TCM continues to grow and evolve as we explore new areas of science.
Science, in turn, deepens our understanding of how herbs work. There
now exist many volumes of pharmacological data to support the use
of herbs in modern medical settings.
Chinese herbal formulas can be
used effectively to treat diseases, symptoms or conditions that
are usually treated by drugs and pharmaceuticals. One of the
major benefits of Chinese herbal therapy is that, used correctly, herbal formulas
have very few of the negative side effects associated with drugs.
