Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is another age-old proven medicine treatment which has been used for over 2500 years. Chinese herbal medicine is a natural and refined way of using herbal products to promote health and overcome disease. Traditionally, Chinese herbal medicine uses a variety of different ingredients to brew a strong tea.

A typical herbal formula may be comprised of somewhere between 5 to 20 Chinese herbs, skilfully combined to create a well balanced, targeted formula to suit the patient.

Concentrated Herbal Granules are used in our clinic. Its manufactured in a carefully controlled process that begins by cooking raw herbs in water until a concentrated liquid is obtained. A special extraction method captures and preserves the volatile oils, which are later added back to the herb product. 

State of the art testing is performed on the herbal granules during manufacturing stage and only those passing high standards for safety and efficacy are used. Laboratory tests check for potential microbes such as E. coli, salmonella and other contaminants. 

Gas Chromatography (GC) testing is used to detect potentially harmful pesticides and herbicides, Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) assesses the concentration of heavy metals, and High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) measures the potency of active ingredients.

All our products are approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration of the Australian Government, which in turn consults with the Endangered Species Certification Scheme.
