Chinese Herbology
WHAT IS CHINESE HERBOLOGY?
Chinese Herbology uses whole plant, animal and/or mineral substances to promote health and healing, a practice that has been part of Oriental Medicine for more than 2000 years. Herbal formulas are easily assimilated by the human body, gradually serving to restore normal function
CAN CHINESE HERBOLOGY HELP ME?
Yes! Sleep, digestion, mood, elimination, breathing, blood pressure, gynecological and urological problems, chronic pain or weakness are but a few of the health issues commonly addressed by shifting to natural medicines.
The framework for optimal wellness is already within you!
IS HERBAL MEDICINE SAFE?
New Harmony practitioners prescribe quality, Chinese Herbal Remedies for Skin at New Harmony Center for Health & Wellness professional-grade herbal medicines that are available only to qualified licensed acupuncturists. These products are carefully selected and screened in laboratories by trusted professional firms that adhere to stringent international standards called Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). GMP-certified facilities ensure proper substance identification, and detect unsafe levels of pesticides, fungicides, heavy metals, and pollutants. We use organically-farmed herbs whenever possible
DO HERBAL FORMULAS HAVE SIDE EFFECTS?
We consider harmful side-effects and dependencies that have come to be expected from prescription medication unacceptable. On the contrary, by bringing the entire body into balance, one herbal formula will often yield multiple benefits. Imagine – positive side-effects!
WHO MAY PRESCRIBE HERBAL FORMULAS?
Qualified Acupuncturists seeking herbal licensure in the state of Massachusetts must posses no less than 660 hours of accredited herbal study and/or the Diplomate in Chinese Herbalogy (Dipl. C.H.) (NCCAOM) or Diplomate in Oriental Medicine (Dipl. O.M) (NCCAOM).
These high standards help to protect the public by distinguishing practitioners who have sufficient training to prescribe these medicines for their patients. All New Harmony practitioners have received rigorous training and hold the Diplomate in Oriental Medicine.
