GRANULATED AND HERBAL PILLS
Granulated herbs and herbal pills are other options and are useful for people with less time and inclination to cook up their herbs?
Chinese Herbal Medicine is an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The majority of Chinese Herbal Medicines are from organic plant substances such as leaves, flowers, roots and bark. In some cases minerals, rocks and shells are incorporated into the formula. Traditionally animal products have been used in medicines, however they are avoided in this practice for 
ethical reasons. However in some cases insects or their shells may be used in the case of skin problems. Please inform us in advance if you are vegetarian/ vegan or object to any shells etc. being used.
Herbal formulas are designed specifically for the client and must be prescribed by a qualified practitioner. Therefore they can be tailored to suit the clients needs and altered as the course of treatment progresses. Often herbs are prescribed in conjunction with acupuncture.
There are different ways to prescribe herbs. The more traditional method is to boil up your formula into a tea prepared in a black clay pot and prepared on the stove. These herbs have a strong earthy and bitter taste. Due to the process involved with preparation time and the potency, many clients prefer the pill or granules option. Please discuss your best option with your practitioner.
