THE WAY TO HEALTH AND BALANCE
Treating the Cause and Not Just the Symptom
Traditionally, patients sought balance by treating the mind, body, and spirit in a way that would bring harmony to the energy sources from within (commonly known in Chinese culture as “Yin & Yang”). Centuries later, we’re still using a similar holistic approach using food as medicine, which combines the effectiveness of herbal formulas with other CCM practices, from acupuncture and exercise to reconnecting with ourselves through nature.
Herbs and formulas are just one part of a larger, natural healing approach that exists within Classical Chinese Medicine where herbalists take a holistic approach to illness, treating the underlying cause of disease rather than just the symptoms. They are able to prescribe herbal remedies to be used alongside other medication and treatments, and many patients are referred to a herbalist by their GP for treatment.
