Herbal medicines can be packaged as powders, pastes, lotions, liniments, tablets and capsules. Herbal medicines are an important component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Somewhat like conventional medicines, herbal medicines will have an effect on the body, for this reason they must be used with the same respect and care as a western medicine. In fact, most Chinese Herbal Medicines must be prescribed by a competent and certified Chinese Medicine Practitioner to achieve the best results.
Behind the herbal medicines’ prescription, there exists a practitioner’s diagnosis that has considered the energy state of the patient, and the different elements governing the affected organs being treated.
