Western and Chinese Herbs There are many forms in which to take your herbs: as a tea, tincture, juice, tablet, capsule, powder. Depending on the herb, your condition and your preference we will find the right application. Some herbs work better as juices, others work faster as tinctures, while some taste better as tablets and capsules. It is also important to be aware of the benefits and dangers of combining drugs, herbs, vitamins and minerals. For example, supplements that decrease drug effects might prevent the drug from working properly and supplements that increase the effects of a drug can amplify drug side effects. Being unaware of such interactions can seriously complicate matters. For instance, the adverse consequences of an interaction might mistakenly be blamed on some unknown cause or on the illness itself, resulting in faulty treatment decisions and further complications. An extensive background in Oriental Medicine and Herbology is what is needed to prescribe herbs properly. All to often the only information we get about herbs is from sales persons in the health food store. This information is inadequate and can be dangerous. Expert advise is the only advice to be sure that the herbs you are taking are safe. This is where my expertise is important. All of the medical products I use are hand picked. Some Western herb products I use are from the German companies Kneipp and Flora. The Chinese herb products I offer are of high quality and free of heavy metals, pharmaceuticals or other impurities. |
