Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a holistic approach that has been practiced for thousands of years. It involves the use of natural plant-based substances, minerals, and animal products to promote health, restore balance, and treat various ailments. The philosophy behind TCM emphasises harmony within the body and between the body and the environment.
