Chinese herbal medicine uses different herbs, with known healing properties, combined in formulae to provide a powerful and balanced effect. Imbalances between the two opposite principles, Yin and Yang, are the cause of illnesses. Successful treatment is based upon treating the underlying disharmony between Yin and Yang and re-establishing balance.

Chinese herbal medicine can be used to treat both acute and chronic conditions, including colds, bronchitis, influenza, diarrhoea, depression, eczema and other skin problems, arthritis, stress, sinusitis, hay fever, haemorrhoids, back pain, indigestion, migraine, palpitations, gynecological conditions – period pains, pregnancy problems, anaemia, menopausal problems, discharges, fibroids, cysts, fertility, endometriosis, addiction problems.
