Chinese Herbal Medicines in Melbourne

Chinese medicine in Melbourne is an ancient medical system that takes a deep understanding of the laws and patterns of nature and applies them to the human body. Chinese medicine in Melbourne is not "New Age," nor is it a patchwork of different healing modalities. Chinese medicine in Melbourne is a complete medical system that has been practiced for more than five thousand years. At the heart of Chinese medicine in Melbourne is the tenet that the root cause of illnesses, not their symptoms, must be treated. In modern-day terms, Chinese medicine in Melbourne is holistic in its approach; it views every aspect of a person�body, mind, spirit, and emotions as part of one complete circle rather than loosely connected pieces to be treated individually. The true foundation of Chinese medicine in Melbourne is Qi, which is loosely translated as vital energy. In, Qi Chinese medicine is considered to be the force that animates and informs all things. In the human body, Qi flows through meridians, or energy pathways. Chinese herbal medicine has a long history of use, dating back millennia and it continues to be used in many countries today as the first and primary treatment of choice. Chinese Herbal medicine traditionally involved the use of raw herbs boiled in water for a period of time, with the subsequent broth reduced to concentrate the active ingredients which was then consumed as a liquid tea. While raw herbs continue to be used in contemporary practice, a range of other options for taking herbal medicine are also available. As such, Chinese herbal medicine is also available in a granulated form (which is easily transported and dissolved in a glass of water), in capsules or pill form which some people may find easier to consume. Your practitioner will discuss with you these different herbal options and will consider your lifestyle and circumstances in determining the best options according to your needs.
