Welcome to Chinese
Herbal Medicine at Natural Earth

Chinese Herbal Medicine is a form of natural health
and healing therapy that aims to promote natural health- it is considered
an alternative and natural treatment used to enhance a happy and healthy
lifestyle.
 Chinese
herbal medicine, along with the other components of Chinese
medicine, is based on the concepts of Yin and Yang. It aims to understand
and treat the many ways in which the fundamental balance and harmony
between the two may be undermined and the ways in which a person's
Qi or vitality may be depleted or blocked. Clinical strategies are
based upon diagnosis of patterns of signs that reflect an imbalance.
Chinese herbal medicine is one of the great herbal systems of the
world, with an unbroken tradition going back to the 3rd century
BC. Yet throughout its history it has continually developed in response
to changing clinical conditions, and has been sustained by research
into every aspect of its use. This process continues today with
the development of modern medical diagnostic techniques and knowledge.
 Because
of its systematic approach and clinical effectiveness it has for
centuries had a very great influence on the theory and practice
of medicine in the East, and more recently has grown rapidly in
popularity in the West. It still forms a major part of healthcare
provision in China, and is provided in state hospitals alongside
western medicine.
Chinese medicine includes all oriental traditions emerging from
Southeast Asia that have their origins in China. Practitioners may
work within a tradition that comes from Japan, Vietnam, Taiwan or
Korea. It is a complete medical system that is capable of treating
a very wide range of conditions. It includes herbal therapy, acupuncture,
dietary therapy, and exercises in breathing and movement (tai chi
and qi gong). Some or several of these may be employed in the course
of treatment
 However,
the tradition as a whole places great emphasis on lifestyle management
in order to prevent disease before it occurs. Chinese medicine recognises
that health is more than just the absence of disease and it has
a unique capacity to maintain and enhance our capacity for well
being and happiness.
