Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine is a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), with thousands of years of use in promoting healing, balance, and wellness. At Dao Integrated Health, we offer Chinese Herbal Consultations to help address a wide range of health concerns by leveraging ancient wisdom and modern applications to restore your well-being.
The History and Power of Chinese Herbology
Chinese Herbal Medicine has the longest continuous written history of any medical system, with its foundations rooted in texts like the Shen Nong Ben Cao (The Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica), written around 2700 BC. This comprehensive encyclopedia first documented 365 medicinal plants, marking the start of an ongoing tradition of using nature’s herbs for healing.
Since its ancient origins, Chinese herbology has continuously evolved, adapting to modern health challenges while retaining its foundational principles. Today, Chinese herbs are used to treat a variety of conditions, from acute illnesses like colds and flu, to chronic conditions such as digestive disorders, gynecological issues, allergies, and chronic pain.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your herbal consultation will last about 15 minutes. During this time, Dr. Christine will carefully assess your overall health, reviewing your specific conditions and medical history. Based on this thorough evaluation, she will select a personalized herbal formula that addresses your unique health needs. You will either receive your herbs immediately or, if needed, they will be specially ordered to ensure they match your individual requirements.
