Goal of Herbal Therapy
Chinese herbal therapy is natural, safe and effective. Like acupuncture, the goal of herbal therapy is to treat the cause of your illness, rather than mask the symptoms of it. Not all, but many pharmaceuticals are prescribed for a lifetime. In most cases i believe this is unnecessary. Using a combination of acupuncture, herbs, diet and lifestyle advice will fix any imbalances in the body, or at least moderate them.
