Chinese Herbal Medicine/East Asian Herbal Medicine Prescription is a serious process, requiring a vast amount of study and experience to master.
Bringing together information from your diagnosis, based on your constitutional pattern and your chief complaints and symptoms, we prescribe formulas that allow us to regulate the movement and circulation of Qi, Blood and Body Fluids, and how the body’s influences circulate and move through the upper, middle and lower sections of the body as well as assisting and regulating the functions of organs, tissues and structures of the body. Further to this, Chinese herbal medicine is all about improving the body’s ability to efficiently assimilate nutrition and to regulate the body’s detoxification pathways.
While in some systems of East Asian herbal medicine, such as Jing Fang or Kampo, we find a classical formula or formulas to fit a person like a lock+key, where the correct diagnosis allows us to find the right formula for regulating a person’s unique disharmony, sometimes it’s a lot more complex for some patients, where we may have to blend multiple formulas or modify formulas to make the difference for a patient’s unique challenges.
Sometimes it can be as easy as prescribing a ready made traditional formula and sometimes the elaborate formula construction can feel like writing a complicated essay, like our friend, Hamilton!
