Chinese herbal medicine is one of the major parts of traditional Chinese medicine. However the approach to herbal medicine is very different in china than it is in the Western World. In Chinese medicine the principal of Chi or energy and the five elements of the body are very important. The belief is that when a person is unwell it is caused by an imbalance in the flow of energy around the body. In Chinese herbal medicine, herbal remedies are prescribed with the aim of bringing the body’s energy back into balance rather than treating the illness. However it is believed that when the energy and elements of the body are in full balance then the person will be returned to good health.
Some of the benefits of Chinese herbal medicine are that is it relatively inexpensive and is reasonably safe. As they are now standardised and subject to much higher quality control they can be reasonable safe for self treatment. In addition visiting a Chinese herbalist can help someone to find out what food types they are allergic to. The number of conditions that can be treated is huge and it is important to get proper advice. However Chinese herbal medicine can be very useful when used alongside conventional medicine particularly to help boost the immune system.
