Asian Herbal medicine is itself a powerful method of healing.

Asian Herbal medicine, A.K.A Traditional Chinese medicine or Oriental medicine is a form of natural medicine that uses Asian plants and minerals and the only medical method with acupuncture to treat various health conditions for thousands of years. It is based on the principles of balance, harmony, and energy in the body and the environment. Asian herbal medicine aims to restore the body’s natural healing ability and prevent diseases by strengthening the immune system, enhancing the organ functions, and regulating the emotions.

Asian herbal medicine is a holistic and natural way of healing that has been practiced as the only medicine and instrument to heal people in Eastern Asian countries for thousands of years. It can help improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being by using the power of nature. Thousands of years of study and practical application have gone into herbal formulas of Traditional Asian Medicine. It is not only a science, but also an art and a philosophy. It teaches us to respect nature, listen to our body, and cultivate our mind. It offers us a way to connect with our ancestors, our culture, and ourselves. It is a treasure that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is still relevant and useful today.

While drugs often control symptoms, but do not alter the disease process (antibiotics eliminate bacteria but do not improve a person’s resistance to infection; diuretics rid excess fluid without improving kidney function), Asian herbs target and treat the underlying condition as defined by Asian medical diagnosis, avoiding unwanted side-effects.

Herbs assist the Organ Networks in the performance of their tasks. Particular herbs enhance the capacity of the Heart to propel the blood and soothe the mind, the Spleen to manage digestion and fluid equilibrium, the Lung to handle respiration and the body’s defenses, the Liver to maintain resilient emotions and supple limbs, and the Kidney to sustain sexual and regenerative power. Some herbal formulas address ailments such as colds, allergies, inflammations, or cramps with dramatic and immediate results, while others fortify body reserves over time.

In addition to internal diseases, herbs are also used topically for dermatological issue like cuts and sores, or for musculoskeletal issues such as injury or strained muscles and tendons.

There are roughly 13,000 medicinals used in East Asia and over 100,000 medicinal recipes recorded in the ancient classics. Plant elements and extracts are by far the most common elements used. In the classic Handbook of Traditional Drugs from 1941, 517 drugs were listed.  There is an herbal formula for just about every modern disease.

For many plants used as medicinals, detailed instructions have been handed down not only regarding the locations and areas where they grow best, but also regarding the best timing of planting and harvesting them.

Each herbal medicine prescription is a cocktail of many substances, usually tailored to the individual patient.

Typically, one batch of medicinals is prepared as a decoction, which includes one or two main ingredients that target the illness. Then other ingredients are added to adjust the formula to the patient’s individual disease pattern. Ingredients are also added in order to eliminate toxicity or side-effects of the main ingredients; on top of that, some medicinals require the use of other substances as catalysts. Overall, the balance and interaction of all the ingredients are considered more important than the effect of a single ingredients.

Herbal extracts (well known as concentrated herbs) are herbal decoctions that have been condensed into a granular or powdered form. Herbal extracts, similar to patent medicines, are easier and more convenient for patients to take. The industry extraction standard is 5:1, meaning for every five pounds of raw materials, one pound of herbal extract is derived.

Just as soil becomes depleted through overuse, so the Qi, Moisture, and Blood are eroded by overwork, emotional tension, mental strain, too much or too little exercise, and inadequate diet or rest, impairing the capacity the capacity of the Organ Networks to do their jobs.
