Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbalism is the oldest continually practised medical profession in the world, stretching back 3000 years.
It works by re-establishing the natural balance and harmony within the body. A herbal prescription will include several herbs working together to treat you as a whole. The individual designing of prescriptions increases its effectiveness.


In the clinic, Lin can provide the herbs in powder form, which requires no preparation time and can be easily taken at work. This is a natural, convenient, and effective treatment.

Chinese herbs treat the root cause of the problem and treat patients holistically. The patient takes the herbs in powder form or dried for boiling.
