What is Chinese Herbal Medicine?
The Chinese Medicinal Pharmacopeia contains hundreds of roots, stems, leaves, fruits, skins, seeds, tubers, and even a few minerals and insects. Medicinals are categorized by function and always used in a group called a formula.
How is Chinese Herbal Medicine prescribed?
A formula may be composed of a handful to over a dozen single medicinals. Formulas can be ordered raw and prepared at home. This is considered the most effective way of consuming herbal medicine since patients are engaged in preparation and formulas can be modified easily. Medicinal formulas can also be prepared in granular and prepared patents. With each degree of processing, potency is sacrificed for convenience. The purpose of Herbal medicine is to redirect our energy in order to heal. Our products are sourced from reputable distributors which follow strict farming, harvesting, processing, and manufacturing guidelines.
According to the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM), the leading body for United States licensure and New Jersey Commission Affairs, a licensed acupuncturist is permitted to practice herbology after completing at least 10 hours of continuing education, passing the NCCAOM Chinese Herbology exam and must have an accredited Master’s degree that includes herbal medicine (ex. MSTOM).
