Chinese Medicine and Chinese Herbology

For over 3000 years, people from all walks of life have enjoyed the many benefits of Chinese medicine. Even with important advances in western science, the use of holistic healthcare continues to grow worldwide. Chinese medicine includes acupuncture, Chinese herbs, some forms of massage, nutrition and excercise. It is a highly individualized and holistic form of medicine, valuble in the treatment and prevention of a wide range of health concerns.

It is widely believed that the practice of Chinese herbology is the oldest form of medicine in the world. It is based on the same medical theory as acupuncture — the in-depth diagnostic process that brings the practitioner to a very specific understanding of a patient. Once a dianosis is reached, the herbalist creates a formula, typically choosing a combination of herbs, much like an acupuncturist chooses acupuncture points. Herbal medicine may be used alone, or as an adjunct to acupuncture treatment.

Our practitioners are nationally certified in Chinese herbology and maintain extensive pharmacies at The Tiger Mountain Center for Acupuncture.
