Chinese Herbal Medicine has been practiced and refined in China over the last few thousand years. It is a safe, natural and effective treatment method with very few side effects and can enhance organ function and stimulate the body ’s own healing mechanisms.Plant, Mineral and Animal products with medicinal properties are selected according to the presenting problem. Although two people may both have a headache for example, the causes of each headache are most likely very different. Much thought and care is taken to create a Chinese Herbal formula tailored to each individual. In contrast to Western Medicine, herbs are not prescribed symptomatically, rather they are selected in conjunction with one another according to the nature and property of each particular herb, to effectively target the underlying causes of your discomfort or illness. A thorough consultation and diagnosis allows Kristie to select a combination of herbs and to tailor a formula to your specific needs, treating the whole person rather than just the symptom.
Depending on your condition and personal requirements, Kristie may recommend you take the Herbal Medicine in conjunction with regular Acupuncture treatments. A combination of these treatments is often very successful and offers the quickest road to recovery.
Kristie uses water-soluble granulated Chinese Herbs which are conveniently packaged and easy to take. The granules are easily absorbed into the body and are highly effective. She does not use any bi-products from endangered plant and animal species.
