Traditional Chinese Medicine Herbs

By: Bryan R Abel Home | Health-and-Fitness


The new mantra for treating any disease is holistic treatment, in which the individual is seen an integrated whole. Traditional Chinese Medicine is one such alternative holistic medical system, for diagnosis and treatment. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the individual is thought of in terms of an organic whole where every part, process, thought, and emotion within the individual contributes to the healthy functioning of the whole person. Each disease and disorder is not seen as an isolated event but as an outward manifestation of the whole person being out of balance. One very important branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the use of Traditional Chinese medicinal herbs to restore the body to its natural state of well being.


Traditional Chinese medicine has a holistic view of disease. It asserts that disharmony in the interlinked processes of the human body is illness. The signs of such disharmony help to understand, treat and prevent illness and disease. The popular saying for Chinese medicine goes that while western medicine treats diseases, Chinese medicine treats humans. To elucidate, the modern system of interpretation is that well-balanced human bodies can resist most everyday bacteria and viruses. Infection, while having a proximal cause of a microorganism, would have an underlying cause of an imbalance of some kind. In Chinese Traditional treatment, the target would be the imbalance and not the infectious organism.

A number of philosophical frameworks including the theory of Yin-yang, the Five Elements, the human body Meridian system, Zang Fu organ theory, and others have shaped the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Diagnosis and treatment are conducted with reference to these concepts. Modern TCM treatments consist of herbal medicine or acupuncture as the primary method. The goal of all kinds of treatment is to assist the body to regain balance and achieve homeostasis. This can be done effectively with minimal side effects using Traditional Chinese Medicine Herbs. Used in conjunction with education, preparedness, and medical supervision, they can be a fantastic tool to achieving overall, natural health.


Traditional Chinese Medicine Herbs are known to treat a wide range of diseases like Digestive problems, Eczema and psoriasis, Gynaecological disorders, Liver disorders, cardiovascular disorders, Stress and Allergies and autoimmune disorders effectively. Chinese herbal medicines are mainly plant based, but some preparations include minerals or animal products. They can be packaged as powders, pastes, lotions or tablets, depending on the herb and its intended use.
