The medicinal benefits of
herbs have been known for centuries. In China, traditional herbal
remedies are still the backbone of medicine, and although we rely
heavily on modern research for new cures for some diseases, herbal
medicines are also fundamental to Western society’s treatment of
illnesses.
Initially, herbs were used individually, with each plant or each
part of the plant used to cure a certain ailment. As people came to
understand the differences between one person and the next, the need
for more personalized treatments developed, and herbal blends became
necessary. It is now commonly taught that herbs are more effective
when used in a formula, because the proper combination of herbs
increases the potency in the desired direction.
Herbal medicine can treat almost any condition that patients might
take to their doctor. In fact, modern researchers are finding that
herbal medicines are often safer, less expensive, and at least as
effective as prescription drugs.
Although there are some herbal formulations that will work as
medicines for almost everyone, there is still a need for customized
formulas. Gardens Acupuncture and Wellness Center formulates our own
proven recipes, fine-tuning them to meet individual needs. |
