Chinese herbal medicine is a major component of traditional Chinese medicine, a comprehensive health care system used for over 3,000 years in China and throughout the world today. Chinese herbal medicine is actually composed of  natural dried leaves, bark, flowers and roots. Usually herbs are combined into formulas that address the main health problem and support the mind-body system.

Chinese herbal medicine is not based on conventional Western concepts of medical diagnosis and treatment. It treats patients’ main complaints or the patterns of their symptoms rather than the underlying causes.

Chinese herbal medicine is most commonly taken as herbal teas or pills. Herbal teas involve a personalized prescription of different herbs that has been designed by Xiaoyan to directly target different areas of imbalance within your body to restore harmony. Herbal pills consist of a generalized prescription of different herbs that are designed to combat commonly seen patterns of disharmony amongst patients. Whether prescribed as teas or pills, Chinese herbs always work together to correct internal imbalances within your body and activate the body's self-healing processes.
Chinese medicine can be safely prescribed to people of all ages and constitutions. Xiaoyan will always take into account your past medical history and any medication you have been prescribed when selecting the herbs in a formula and will adjust the dosages accordingly.
Chinese herbs are perfectly safe when prescribed correctly by a properly trained practitioner. Serious adverse effects as a result of taking Chinese herbal medicine are rare and usually occur due to inadequate training by the practitioner.
