HERBS

Herbal formulas have been used in China as far back as 2000 B.C. by about A.D. 659 a comprehensive Chinese Materia Medica listing herbs, their actions and properties was emerging. Today, herbal therapy is used to further address a particular disharmony and to enhance the overall treatment. It is important to see a trained herbalist before you take herbs of any kind, because there are many factors that need to be considered. A particular herbal formula might be correct for one person but not another. Herb formulas can be taken in their raw form as a tea. They may also be taken in powder, tincture, or pill forms. It is important to figure out what form works best for you.
