Chinese herbal medicine, also known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a holistic medical system that has been practiced for thousands of years in China and Korea . It involves the use of various herbs, plants, minerals, and animal products to promote healing and balance within the body. The principles underlying Chinese herbal medicine are rooted in the concept of Yin and Yang, as well as the flow of Qi or vital energy in the body. According to TCM theory, illness and disease occur when there is an imbalance or blockage of Qi within the body. The goal of Chinese herbal medicine is to restore balance and harmony to the body, allowing the Qi to flow freely.
Chinese herbal medicine uses a combination of different herbs, often formulated into complex formulas tailored to the individual's specific condition. These formulas are created based on the principles of TCM, which take into account the person's overall constitution, symptoms, and underlying imbalances. The herbs used in Chinese medicine have various properties, such as taste (sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, or salty), temperature (cold, cool, neutral, warm, or hot), and specific actions on different organs or systems of the body. By combining different herbs with specific properties, TCM practitioners aim to address the root cause of the imbalance and promote healing.
The herbs used in Chinese medicine can be administered in various forms, including decoctions (boiled herbal extracts), powders, pills, capsules, or topical preparations. The choice of administration method depends on the individual's condition and the preference of the practitioner. The specific mechanisms of how Chinese herbal medicine works are still being studied and understood. However, research suggests that Chinese herbs contain bioactive compounds that can have various effects on the body. These compounds may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immune-modulating, or hormonal effects, among others. They can interact with different physiological pathways, promoting healing and restoring balance within the body.
