Chinese Herbal Medicine is, along with Aryuvedic medicine, considered to be the longest continuously practiced form of medicine in history.  Dating back thousands of years, it is a highly sophisticated system of medicine that is as relevant to modern health care as ever.  Difficult to learn, only a small percentage of modern day acupuncturists pursue advanced training in Chinese herbal medicine.  In this day and age, why would someone pursue Chinese herbal treatment?  Learn what it can offer and how it can complement conventional health care.
