"Ancient Chinese herbal formulas are as effective now as they were when first introduced more than 2,000 years ago. Most formulas consist of two to eighteen different herbs. Formulas treat a wide variety of symptoms while stimulating the body's natural healing process. Hospital studies prescribing individualized complex herbal formulas have demonstrated excellent results with patients who fail to respond to conventional pharmaceutical treatments." - AAAOM

How Do I Take Chinese Herbs?

"Formulas may be taken as teas, pills, capsules, granules, or tinctures depending on the patient and the recommendation of the practitioner. Chinese herbal medicine is generally safe and effective when prescribed by a qualified practitioner of Oriental medicine." - AAAOM

In our office, herbs are given most commonly in tablet or capsule form.  However, sometimes a powdered formula or a tincture (fluid-powder mix) is necessary.
