CHINESE HERBOLOGY
Ancient Chinese herbal formulas are as effective now as they were when first introduced more than 2,000 years ago. Formulas treat a wide variety of symptoms while stimulating the body's natural healing process. Hospital studies prescribing individualized complex herbal formulas have demonstrated excellent results with patients who fail to respond to conventional pharmaceutical treatments.

HERBAL MEDICINE & MODERN PHARMACOLOGY
There is a growing body of research which indicates that traditional uses of plant remedies and the known pharmacological activity of plant constituents often coincide. However, herbal medicine is distinct from medicine based on pharmaceutical drugs. It is far more balanced than medicine based on isolated active ingredients and is far less likely to cause side-effects because of the complexity of plant materials. Because herbs are typically prescribed in combination, the different components of a formulae balance each other and undergo a mutual synergy which increases efficacy and enhances safety. Herbal medicine seeks primarily to correct internal imbalances rather than to treat symptoms alone and therapeutic intervention is designed to encourage this self-healing process.
