Chinese Herbal therapy has been used for over 2,500 years for pain relief.
When our body’s Qi and blood are obstructed, pain develops. Chinese herbal formulas can be used to enhance circulation of Qi and blood. Pain from arthritis, known as bì zhèng (obstruction syndrome) in Chinese, can be greatly reduced with the use of herbs.
Herbal therapy can relax muscles, reduce swelling and inflammation, and speed up the healing process.
Herbs can be taken internally in pill form or used topically as a liniment, plaster, poultice, or soak. Other conditions that herbal therapy can effectively treat are: tendinitis, neuropathy, and muscle sprains and strains.
To speed up recovery, acupuncture can be combined with herbal therapy to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
