Herbs & Nutrition Herbal medicine is one of the four treatment methods within East Asian medicine. East Asian medicine is the world's oldest continually practiced, professional medicine. Its written history stretches back over 5000 years. Although acupuncture was the first Asian modality to gain wide acceptance in the West, herbal medicine is quickly establishing itself as one of the most popular and effective alternative therapies. East Asian herbal medicine is... East Asian herbal medicine is based on an individualized pattern diagnosis as well as a disease diagnosis. This means the patient receives an herbal formulation designed to treat both the symptom of disease and also their individual pattern. Such a pattern is made up of a person's signs and symptoms as well as their emotional temperament and bodily constitution. Herbs... they aren't all vegetables... Although called herbal medicine, practitioners use ingredients from all three kingdoms, vegetable, animal and mineral. However, the majority of these are from vegetable sources. Leaves, flowers, twigs, stems, roots, tubers, rhizomes and barks are some of the many vegetable parts used. Know your practitioner! Although East Asian herbs are safe when professionally prescribed by a trained, knowledgeable practitioner, they are strong medicine nevertheless. Therefore it is important that a practitioner be adequately schooled and experienced in their use. A prospective patient should feel free to ask about the training and credentials of a potential practitioner. |
