Chinese Herbs

Chinese herbal medicine is composed of over 5,000 plants, minerals and animal substances. Most herbalists work with 200-300 herbs. The traditional method of preparing herbs is to cook the raw herbs in water to form a tea or decoction. Depending on your preference, or the recommendation of your practitioner, you may take herbs in pill form, as a tincture, in a powdered or granulated form dissolvable in water.
