Herbal Medicine

Herbal Medicine is an internal medicine, and one of the five components of Chinese Medicine. Because of its effectiveness, it is sometimes the only form of Chinese Medicine you may need.

The Chinese medicinal pharmacopoeia offers a virtually unlimited resource for herbal remedies. Herbal medicines contain the building blocks of immunity and restorative health properties, which may be found in roots, stems, leaves, flowers, oils, minerals and fruits. The healing properties of certain chemical constituents of plants, such as phytochemicals and phytomedicinals, are considered to be the most powerful plant elements in the body of herbal medicine.

Early medicines were often comprised of herbal preparations. In fact, there are medicines in use today, such as aspirin, which have been derived from herbs, bark and roots.
