Chinese Herbs


If you are considering using Chinese herbs for the treatment of a specific illness, you should always consult with a herbalist trained in Chinese medicine.  Herbs are used much more often in traditional Chinese medicine, and are prescribed by complex formulas often tailored to a specific patient.

There are a number of herbs that can be used safely by most people, as a way of increasing general health, and promoting wellness.


Ginger is probably one of the most well-known, and it's used as a digestion aid, and nausea remedy.  It can be made into a very tasty tea, or even drunk as ginger beer, or ginger ale.

Cinnamon is a good aid to circulation, and also can be made into tea, or just added to food.
Ginseng's properties are pretty well known, too, and it is a good source of added energy.  Be careful not to take too much ginseng, especially if you are drinking coffee or consuming some other source of caffeine.
