Chinese herbal medicine is part of a broader healing system called Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which also includes acupuncture, massage diet counselling and exercise.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a popular method of treatment, with nearly three million Australians visiting traditional Chinese medicine practitioners annually.
The fundamental principles of TCM are very different from traditional Western notions about health, disease and how the body works. Chinese herbs are prescribed to normalize imbalance energy, or Qi (pronounced 'chee'), which crosses invisible meridians in the body.
Whether the philosophy is raw or not, studies have shown that Chinese medicinal herbs are effective in the treatment of a range of disorders, in particular gynecological and gastrointestinal disorders.
