Chinese Herbal Medicine: Boost your healing potential.
Our Chinese medicine practitioners can also prescribe Chinese herbal medicines to complement your treatment plan.
Just as your acupuncture points are adapted with each treatment, Chinese herbal medicine formulas are intended to be prescribed as part of a Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment plan.
If you would like to know more about Chinese herbal medicine for your health issues, all you have to do is ask. Simply let us know at the time of booking your appointment, or at any time during your follow-up treatments.
Ask your practitioner for the formula that's right for you.
Chinese herbal medicine is a highly personalised form of medicine and not one-formula-fits-all.
How Chinese herbal medicine differs from pharmaceutical drugs, western herbalism, vitamins and supplements is that single herbs are never used alone.
Individual herbs are synergistically combined into formulas to treat each person’s underlying pattern of disharmony, not just their symptoms.
Nowadays, it's not uncommon to see individual Chinese herbs being used in various over-the-counter products, but this is not how Chinese medicine practitioners are trained to use these herbs.
Always remember your Chinese medicine practitioner is the key to helping you unlock the full benefits of Chinese herbal medicine.
We make it easy to benefit from Chinese herbal medicine.
Traditionally, patients would take home many packets of raw Chinese herbs which must be boiled and prepared at home.
Anyone who has experienced this can never forget the powerful smell and taste of Chinese medicine in its raw form!
At Ping Ming Health, we use a wide range of prepared Chinese herbal medicine formulas which are easy to take in pill or capsule form — and much more suitable for our modern, busy lifestyles.
Our clinic founder Dr Ping Wang has personally curated our range of Chinese herbal medicine formulas to complement our community acupuncture treatment plans.
