Chinese herbal medicine is a core component of East Asian medicine, using combinations of herbs to address patterns of imbalance rather than isolated symptoms. Its practice is rooted in classical theory but continues to evolve through modern clinical application.
At the center of herbal medicine is the concept of formula construction, where individual herbs are combined based on their properties and functions. This approach draws from a long tradition documented in texts such as the Shang Han Lun and later developments in the materia medica.
This page provides an overview of how Chinese herbal medicine works, including the role of formulas, the use of individual herbs, and the principles behind modifying treatments for specific patients. It also connects to detailed discussions on sourcing, dosage, and clinical reasoning.
