Herbs
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine has a long history dating back thousands of years. Traditional Chinese medicine, which includes the use of Chinese herbs, has been practiced in China for over 2500 years. The use of Chinese herbs in traditional Chinese medicine is based on the concept of balancing the body's energy, known as "qi." Chinese herbs are classified into different categories based on their properties and their effects on the body. These herbs are often combined to create customized formulas to address specific health issues. Some well-known Chinese herbs include ginseng, goji berries, and astragalus.
The history of Chinese herbs is closely intertwined with Chinese culture and beliefs, and their use remains an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine to this day.
