Herbal Medicine
Today there is a widespread revival in the natural ways of regaining and preserving health. Likewise, there is an ongoing and growing concern with our environment. Ecosystems, internal human health and plant medicines have an inherent intelligence that has evolved over many successive generations and which have also evolved alongside each other. As such, we know that our internal environment will benefit from natural alignment with the wisdom of Nature.
TCM is based on the observation and examination of living systems and their complex, mutually dependent interactions. It is a tradition that has been refined by doctors and sages for hundreds of generations, resulting in a living, well-honed and very practical system of health. We seek to return the patient to good health, or optimal homeostasis, by going to the ‘root’ of the imbalance that is expressing itself in ‘branch’ symptoms. TCM excels in treating illness and in preventing the imbalance that leads to illness. Uniquely crafted herbal formulas are prepared for each person.
We have evolved alongside plants and depend on them for air, food, warmth, clothing and medicine. The blessing of herbal medicine is to help us create the balance within, on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. From treating acute stages of illness through to deeply replenishing our system, the plants that bring us the flowers of the world help us to reach the same place of vigour and health within.
