What is Chinese Herbal Medicine and how it works?
According to the World Health Organization, traditional and herbal medicine serves as the foundation for primary healthcare for three-quarters of the global population. A range of bioactive chemical components make up standardized herbal extracts and herbal formulations that combine many herbs into one. They offer an ideal environment for therapeutic lead drug development in the present era. Typically, the active components in herbal medicines produce the pharmacological effects by simultaneously modulating a number of biomolecules in the body in an additive or synergistic way. Herbal medicine's multi-component makeup has been deemed preferable to single-target medications for treating complex multifactorial diseases.
What kind of Chinese Herbal medicine does Sean Family Clinic offer?
Chinese herbal formula granules and Chinese patent medications are available at Sean Family Clinic. Chinese patent medicine mostly refers to a unique formulation made from Chinese medicinal ingredients. Chinese patent medication is available in a variety of dosage forms, including pills, tablets, capsules, and liquids. Chinese patent medications are widely employed in Chinese clinical practice as an essential medical resource because they provide the benefits of straightforward management and precise dose.
Many Chinese patent medicine companies have gained entry to the market in recent years as TCM has grown and become widely acknowledged. Several nations and regions, including Canada and England, have successfully registered some Chinese patent medications as drugs. Additionally, a number of Chinese patent medications are undertaking phase II or III clinical trials in the US after receiving US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.
Granulated Chinese herbal formulas are an easy and widely used way to take Chinese herbal medicine. They are concentrated preparations of Chinese herbs. The majority of investigations in the clinical literature indicate that formula granules are equal to those of conventional decoction procedures.
The two treatment pillars of holism and syndrome distinction serve as the sole foundation of our clinic. Each syndrome that our clinic's doctors categorize biological misadjustments into has a specific treatment plan that is effective for it. Based on information about syndrome categorization provided by clients, our certified Chinese herbalists create a formula by choosing various herbs (less than 10). We carefully dispense the herbs in accordance with the formula after selecting the proper mass of each plant. We advise consumers to simply mix 40 ml of boiling water with the formula granules before putting them in their mouths. Once the water cools to room temperature, they should swallow the mixture.
