Herbology
consists of the use of several different types of natural herbs,
designed to treat a wide variety of symptoms by stimulating
the body's natural healing process. Many patients respond to
herbal formulas better than to pharmaceutical treatments and
with fewer side effects. Oriental herbs are often used in combination
with acupuncture, nutrition, and life-style changes in an effort
to achieve long lasting improvement.
East vs. West
Fundamental
to both medical arts is the concept of balance. The function
of all the systems in our body must be balanced for them to
properly work together. Western medicine basically seeks to
balance the body's chemistry. Eastern medicine focuses on balancing
energy fields and can often correct an imbalance without the
use of drugs. In reality our body functions are electro-chemical
and we advocate integrating both eastern and western medicine.
