Chinese herbal therapy is a component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with its advantage being able to treat disease with natural ingredients and minimal side effects. Because Chinese herbs are like food, they slowly change your body condition to improve your health; therefore, the herbal treatment may need more time to change your situation but has a long-standing effect. Chinese herbs can be used in conjunction with Western medicines to treat diseases; the herbs strengthen the effectiveness and reduce side effects of Western Medicine. In some cases, the use of Chinese herbs has a superior effect over Western medicines and can contribute to the overall health and quality of life in some illnesses that have been declared incurable. In general, most patients can safely combine TCM and Western medicine, with the exception being patients with severe renal insufficiency or blood coagulation dysfunction.
Acupuncture therapy includes acupuncture, moxibustion, auricular therapy, and cupping. These methods are based on the theory of meridians and collateral channels of the human body. These therapies are commonly used in the treatment of stroke, shoulder pain, acute or chronic low back pain, tinnitus, deafness, digestive disorders, sleep irregularities, menstrual problems, etc.
Traditional Chinese Medicine combines the above methods to strengthen the effect of treatment. For example, the combination of Chinese herbs and acupuncture to treat acute deafness; etc.
