Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient, holistic system of health and healing based on the notions of harmony, balance and prevention. Restoring balance and harmony between the natural opposing forces of Yin and Yang allows the Qi to move freely which, in turn, prevents disease.
Besides acupuncture, herbs are often prescribed to continue to help balance the body internally. This will help the efficacy of the acupuncture treatment. Results are more lasting as the underlying cause is being treated. The herbs are used in extracted powder form which are made from the decocted pure form of the formula. Therefore, no preparation of raw herbs is necessary by patients.
