What are Chinese herbs?
Oriental Medicine has a long and sophisticated herbal history. Chinese herbs are medicines with few, if any, side effects. Many of the herbs used have been adopted by western herbalists. What makes them Chinese is the system of usage; the herbs use Chinese medicine thought and theory to treat a patient's specific condition and constitution. They are used in custom-made formulas to treat each individual specifically. They are effective for many acute and chronic problems. This practice uses high quality herb granules, patent medicines, and raw herbs.

Often the use of Chinese Herbal Medicine in conjunction with regular acupuncture treatments greatly improves a patient's recovery from illness. The two work extremely well together, and in fact, the two are considered two branches of the same medicine. If a person does not wish to receive acupuncture, she or he may choose to visit Lynn for herbal consultations only.
