Dec 23, 2019

Enhancing Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulas for Optimal Health

At Redding Integrative Medicine, we specialize in offering a unique approach to health and wellness through the integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Western herbal medicine. By combining the ancient wisdom of TCM with the latest scientific research on Western herbs, we are able to provide our patients with comprehensive and effective treatments.

Why Modify TCM Formulas with Western Herbs?

TCM is a holistic system of medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years and focuses on balancing the body's energy, or Qi, to promote health and well-being. TCM formulas are carefully crafted combinations of herbs that work synergistically to address specific health concerns.

While TCM formulas are highly effective on their own, the integration of Western herbs allows us to enhance their therapeutic benefits. Western herbs bring their unique properties, active compounds, and scientific research to the table, providing us with a broader range of treatment options.

The Top 10 Herbs of Commerce

In our practice, we have identified the top 10 Western herbs that effectively complement TCM formulas. These herbs have been extensively researched and have shown significant beneficial effects on various health conditions:

  1. Ginkgo Biloba: Known for its cognitive-enhancing properties and improving blood circulation.
  2. Milk Thistle: Supports liver health and detoxification.
  3. St. John's Wort: Often used for its antidepressant and mood-stabilizing effects.
  4. Echinacea: Boosts the immune system and aids in fighting off infections.
