Chinese herbs

Traditional Asian remedies

Chinese herbs are plant-based medicinal substances used in traditional Chinese medicine, typically prescribed in complex formulas rather than singly.

These herbs—which include roots, bark, leaves, seeds, and flowers—are combined according to centuries-old theories about balancing the body's vital energy.

They may be prepared as teas, powders, or concentrated extracts.

The acupuncturist recommended Chinese herbs for my digestive issues.
