Korean and Chinese Herbal Medicine at Sage Wellness Center
The Importance of Oriental Herbal Medicine
Oriental herbal medicine has a long history and plays a crucial role in promoting balance and healing in the body. According to ancient Chinese medical theory, the body is governed by two fundamental energies: Yin and Yang. These forces influence the body’s organs, with Yin controlling half and Yang the other half. Additionally, five essential elements—water, fire, earth, metal, and wood—are central to Chinese herbal medicine and significantly impact the body’s health.
Different tastes—sweat, salty, sour, bitter, and pungent—are associated with these elements. For example, Yang energy is linked to the metal element, which is why pungent herbs are often used to treat skin-related conditions.
Herbs Used at Sage Wellness Center
At Sage Wellness Center, we offer carefully formulated Chinese and Korean herbs that are prepared in various forms, including flowers, twigs, bark, and leaves. Our herbal treatments are tailored for each patient, ensuring they receive the right formulation for their condition.
Chinese herbal medicines are primarily plant-based and are available in forms like liquids, lotions, powders, pastes, and tablets. We use a meticulous extraction process to create high-quality products such as tea pills and capsules. These are prepared by boiling and re-staining the herbs, often suspended in alcohol to enhance potency. We also offer granules made from powdered herbs combined with starch, which are especially effective when taken with warm water.
