Chinese Herbal Medicine
Herbology is traditionally one of the more important modalities utilized in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). At Bluegrass Chinese Medicine we offer three forms of herbal medicine, all of the highest quality and rigorously tested for impurities and efficacy. We use traditional formulas in capsules and tablets, as well as have a complete compounding pharmacy. An herbal treatment could last for as short as one to two doses for early onset of a common cold, or for several months for more serious conditions. Under proper care, the patient can also reduce prescription medicine.
Sometimes, ingredients are needed to cancel out toxicity or side-effects of the main ingredients. Some herbs require the use of other ingredients as catalyst or else the brew is ineffective. The latter steps require great experience and knowledge, and make the difference between a good Chinese herbal doctor and an amateur. Unlike western medications, the balance and interaction of all the ingredients are considered more important than the effect of individual ingredients.
