Chinese herbal medicine involves the use of substances from nature to regulate and normalise bodily functions. Most Chinese herbs are of plant origin (leaves, seeds, twigs, stems, roots flowers and fruits) though some animal and mineral substances may be used.
Chinese herbs can be taken singly or in combination. Traditionally, the herbs are slowly simmered in a ceramic pot and the resulting liquid (decoction) taken as prescribed. At Meridian Healing Centre, we dispense our herbal formulas in powdered granule form. This means preparing your herbal medicine is as easy as making a cup of instant coffee.
