What is Chinese Herbal Medicine?
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine (TCHM) is composed of herbal mixtures that we prescribe as powdered concentrates you mix into teas. These herbal formulas are personalized to the individual based on their presenting signs and symptoms and their traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis.
In China, most internal conditions are addressed with Chinese herbal medicine and at Acubalance we combine both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to help you resolve your health concerns and achieve your health goals faster.
Tips for Taking Chinese Herbal Medicine
Your practitioner has prescribed you a custom blend of Chinese herbs.
After your prescription has been ordered, you will receive your package either by mail to the address of your choice or you can arrange pick up at Bema Botanicals, our dispensary. There is no additional charge for shipping if you are picking up at Bema in North Vancouver. Their address is found here.
Your package will contain many small packets inside, enough for 2 per day for the duration prescribed, unless stated differently. We suggest you take them with food, at breakfast and dinner.
Open one packet, pour the granules into an empty mug and add ½ to 1 cup boiling water. Stir it thoroughly so that the granules dissolve completely. There should be no sediment at the bottom. You can drink it while still hot/warm, or let it cool down. Please do not add sweeteners or honey/cinnamon for the first seven days of the formula so your palate can adapt to the bitterness.
Support your body with natural instead of synthetic medication.
Activate your body’s natural self-healing capabilities.
Live life with more energy and restore balance.
