Chinese herbal medicine is part of healing system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Herbal remedies have become popular over the past decade and they are widely used for the treatment and prevention of various diseases.
Chinese herbal medicines are mainly plant based, but some preparations include minerals products. They can be packaged as powders, pastes, lotions or tablets, depending on the herb and its intended use. Different herbs have different properties and can balance particular parts of the body. Prescribing a particular herb or concoction of herbs means the practitioner’s diagnosis has to take into account the state of the patient’s Yin and Yang, and the elements that are governing the affected organs. Herbs can act on the body as powerfully as pharmaceutical drugs and should be treated with the same caution and respect.
Conventional drugs are single target-based which elicit specific metabolic reactions in the body. Their associated side effects are usually traded as a risk against the benefit of the primary effect. Conversely, herbal medicines act multi-systemically, meaning they tend to have broad and non-specific actions on a number of physiological systems simultaneously. These reactions are usually in the same therapeutic action, and are complementary or synergistic with mild adverse effects.
The TCM philosophy proposes that everything including organs of the body – is composed of the five elements: fire, earth, metal, water and wood. The herbs are similarly classified into the five tastes – sweet, salty, bitter, pungent and sour – which correspond to the five elements, for example, since the skin is a metal element Yang organ, it would be treated with a pungent herb.
Like acupuncture, herbal therapy addresses unhealthy body patterns. Herbs are prescribed to restore energy balance to the opposing forces of energy – Yin and Yang – that run through invisible channels in the body.
