In addition to the herbs listed above, we have included nutritional information on a variety of vitamins, minerals and other dietary supplements.
What you eat and
drink has an enormous impact on your health and on the
condition of your qi. Your acupuncturist can advise you about
foods that complement your treatment. For example, if your
body makes too much mucus and you have a problem like
sinusitis or asthma, you may benefit from reducing dairy and
cold or raw foods. Many foods benefit yin and yang and help
regulate qi imbalances.
Herbal treatments are
available today that have been in continuous use for over two
thousand years. In ancient times, herbalists studied at their
father\'s knee and passed along herbal formulas, or
combinations of herbs, reverently to the next generation.
Modern practitioners of Chinese herbal medicine have studied
for years to learn how to prescribe the best combinations for
your specific health problem. Modern herbal pharmaceutical
companies are working to adapt their products for western
consumers. Herbs are available that have been tested for
purity and packaged according to FDA regulations. Generations
of patients have been successfully treated with herbs alone or
combined with acupuncture.
