What is Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine (TCHM)?

Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine (TCHM) is the most comprehensive and sophisticated in the world to improve internal organ function and physiology.  Many other cultures have herbal medicine as part of their folk remedies but none have been developed like TCHM.  

The Chinese Materia Medica (a pharmacological reference book used by TCM practitioners) describes thousands of medicinal substances—primarily plants, but also some minerals and animal products. Different parts of plants, such as the leaves, roots, stems, flowers, and seeds, are used. Once a diagnosis is made, a custom granular herb formula is made to address your main complaints.

What are the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine?

By the time you are reading this you have been through years of a chronic health condition and tried numerous medications which resulted in unwanted side effects while your condition was only be palliated at best, or possibly made worse, and not RESOLVED!  Most people are happy to know that many chronic health conditions can be significantly improved, and often are completely resolved, safely and effectively, by TCHM.

Aspirin – used for pain relief and anti-clotting – Willow Bark (Salix)
Salicylic acid, which is a key component of aspirin, was first described by the father of medicine Hippocrates who referred to a white powder derived from willow bark which alleviated the symptoms of aches, pains and fevers. In 1763, Edward Stone at Oxford was the first chemist to isolate the active ingredient and it has since been used in medicine both for it’s analgesic and anti-clotting properties.
There are many different varieties of willow tree and the bark of each carries a different potency of salicylic acid. Aspirin is created by a chemical reaction between salicylic acid and acetic acid, which is the main component of vinegar apart from water.
