What is an herbal prescription?
Chinese herbal medicine use several herbs in a well balanced formula. A typical formula may have around ten different herbs. The process of combining herbs allows the herbalist to customize a formula that is specific to client’s particular needs. The ability to tailor a formula to meet the needs of a particular client is one of the unique benefits of Chinese herbal medicine. Herbal tea works faster than concentrated powders. Pills take a longer period to see the effect, although they are most cost effective to produce.
