Herbal Therapy
When, as in the case of Kwan Yin Medicine, the acupuncturist is also a certified herbalist, herbs are a powerful component of treatment. According to conditions and needs, those herbs can be prescribed in the form of "patents" (herbal pills and pre-packaged prepared remedies), crystal herb formulas (concentrated powders from which a medicinal tea is prepared) or raw herbs that necessitate a longer time of preparation and cooking but also offer the most powerful type of treatment.
The decision as to which form is best is based on the particular health condition and needs, time constraints and personal considerations. We discuss these issues together and agree on a specific type of treatment.
