HERBS IN CHINESE MEDICINE
How are Chinese herbs taken?
Herbs are most effective when taken in the form of a decoction or tea. A tea that is prescribed by an acupuncturist is specifically prepared for you, with your constitution and specific symptoms in mind. However, some patients may prefer to take patent medicines or pills. These are usually effective, but if you have a very acute or severe problem, the acupuncturist may suggest that you take a tea at least for a short period of time.

How is Chinese Herbal Medicine different from Western Herbalism?
Western herbs primarily treat symptoms such as headaches or menstrual discomfort. Chinese Herbal Medicine when prescribed by a trained practitioner treats the constitutional imbalances that create the symptoms and therefore addresses the underlying cause of disease.
