Herbal Remedies
Herbal remedies can effectively treat many of the same diseases, injuries, or pains as western medicine. However, it is important to note the difference between taking herbal formulas versus a drug. It is crucial to understand the difference between the Chinese herbal approach and ingesting the whole plant or animal substance. Chinese medicine follows nature’s way and seeks treatment success on a broader, more gradual path.
