Chinese Herbal Medicine is highly sophisticated form of medical therapy that has been proven\u00a0effective by millennia of observation and through ongoing modern research. Chinese Herbal\u00a0Medicine seeks to treat both the symptoms and the root cause of disease, unlike many Western\u00a0drugs that often control symptoms without altering the disease process or reaching the\u00a0underlying causes.<\/span><\/p>\nSubtlety and Quality of Herbs in Medicine<\/h3>\n
Traditionally, herbs were considered to work not simply through chemical interactions but\u00a0through more subtle resonance with the person taking them. Herbs, like everything else in the\u00a0cosmos, are seen as embodying certain qualities often related to where they tend grow and even\u00a0their physical form. Ginseng (literally \u201cman root\u201d \/ ren shen) for example, well known for its\u00a0strong tonic properties, is an herb which grows high in the mountains and is capable of enduring\u00a0severe inclement weather. The root itself resembles a man\u2019s body and used to strengthen the\u00a0\u201cwhole person\u201d, offering the qualities of endurance, concentration and integrity. Other herbs can\u00a0be extremely speci\ufb01c in their effect targeting the back of the head or the lower back and knees.<\/span><\/p>\nHerbs in Combination<\/h3>\n
Most often herbs are administered in combination, strengthening and balancing each other\u2019s\u00a0effects. This also provides the possibility of addressing the root cause and the manifestations of\u00a0that root (the \u201cbranches\u201d) with a single formula.\u00a0In this way, an herbal formula can elegantly weave together herbs that treat apparently desperate\u00a0symptoms into a single formula. One of the great gifts of Chinese herbal medicine, a direct\u00a0re\ufb02ection of Chinese medical diagnosis, is precisely this ability to integrate all of the variegated\u00a0symptoms a person is suffering from into a coherent and at times surprisingly simple\u00a0explanation.\u00a0It is not uncommon for an herbal formula to simultaneously treat depression and back pain or\u00a0grief and asthma.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n
