Chinese Herbal medicine is over two thousand years old. It is unique because it is the product of thousands of years of clinical evidence, as gathered by its effects on people. In Chinese herbal medicine, there are about 350 commonly used individual plant parts, mineral compounds, and (rarely) animal products. (All of the herbal formulas used by Dorothy Pang are plant or mineral in nature.) Since Chinese herbalists have been using herbal formulas on people for so long, their effects are very accurately documented and well understood.
Chinese herbal medicine can be used alone, or in combination with acupuncture. Specific recommendations depend upon the condition being treated. Chinese herbal medicine is used to rebalance the body when it was gone amiss, or to restore normal function in cases where the body is under performing. It can also be used to speed the recovery and healing process, such as post-operation or after intensive sports training.
Herbal medicine is used for correcting symptoms as well as maintaining health and longevity.
Herbal medicines are prescribed on an individual basis. For example, clients can use herbal medicine to have more energy, increase immune function, and balance digestion.
