Herbal Medicines

One of the main treatments of Traditional Chinese Medicine is herbal medicines. The herbs we use are all natural and can be used along with Western prescription drugs. If you are currently taking Blood Pressure and/or Blood Sugar medicines we ask that you always check your pressure and/or sugar before taking your Western medicines. TCM works to correct the cause of your health problems so that you no longer have to take Western med’s, therefore when a correction is being made you should notice your pressure and/or sugar registering at normal levels. If your sugar and/or pressure is reading normal you do not want to take medicines that will lower it even more. Always check your readings before taking the medicines.

Herbal medicines do not taste the greatest, but if you want to feel better, try to find ways of dealing with the taste. Some have found plugging their nose and/or having something like a mint or peanut butter on stand by to get rid of the after taste. Try to focus on getting well and not so much the taste. 5 oz. serving of something that taste terrible is easier to live with than battling a life threatening disease.

You do not have to take herbal medicines for life. Once the body has been brought back into balance and a complete healing has occurred, herbal medicines are no longer needed.
