Why Herbs?

Chinese herbs play a vital part in Traditional Chinese Medicine – especially in balancing energy (qi) in the body. Each formulation by our Chinese herbalist in Melbourne is customised to your specific body’s needs. Most prescriptions are plant based materials, although some may include minerals or animal products.

Traditional Chinese Medicine draws upon up to 450 different substances for healing purposes. Some are commonly available and might already be taking up residence in your kitchen, such as ginger, garlic and cinnamon. Other items might be found in your garden, such as chrysanthemum and peony flowers. Many items will have unusual names and be unknown to you until you get your prescription for the first time.

Different Forms our Herbal Substances Can Be Taken In

Our Chinese herbalist in Melbourne provides herbal substances in two different forms – raw herbs and granules (powder). Raw herbs are the more traditional route, but require more effort as the patient will need to cook them at home. The granules, by contrast, are much more convenient and can be dissolved in water and drunk. Either way, the substances themselves are made from high-quality ingredients and processed in the best way possible for potency. For clients who prefer to swallow capsules to avoid strange tastes, we can put your formulations into capsules for you for a small fee.
