Herbal Medicine Houston

Chinese herbal medicine uses hundreds of different natural herbs and Dr. Yang uses a combination of herbs to help treat your diagnosed symptom. A mixture of these active ingredients have a therapeutic affect on your body that includes improving circulation, digestive enzymes, nervous system relaxants, antimicrobial's, and much more. Depending on your illness, herbal medicine treats many abnormalities in the body and brings your body back to homeostasis.

Western medicine normally identifies a symptom and prescribes a drug that has an isolated active ingredient. Pharmaceutical drugs are usually more potent due to this fact, but is more likely to cause side effects and not fully treat the symptom.

Chinese herbal medicine relies on a combination of the active ingredients in the herbs to deliver a more balanced and safer result.
The sole purpose of this combined effort is to help treat many abnormalities that are ongoing in the body and to solve the root problem of the illness.
