Introduction to Chinese Herbology

It is estimated that over one billion of the world's people use the principles of Chinese herbology as part of their daily health practices.

Chinese herbalists teach that the determining factors of health are a person's lifestyle, environment, and nature (or constitution). The term "constitution" refers to a person's basic nature. It takes into account lifelong tendencies, personal preferences, and tastes. In all traditional health care systems, understanding a person's basic constitution is important when determining the type of diet, exercises, and other health-building practices the person needs. Chinese herbology compares the substances of nature with human qualities. It examines a person's basic nature, using a system of five constitutions: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.

Chinese herbal formulas are not designed to cure diseases; they are nutritional supplements designed to feed and support the five constitutional types.

Therefore, choosing a Chinese herbal formula is really a matter of determining one's "constitutional type," rather than simply treating a physical symptom. (It is also important to understand that in Chinese herbology the names used to refer to the body systems do not necessarily have a one-to-one correlation with the Western medical name of that organ or system.)

Monday 21 July: In our ongoing effort to provide the best possible service, we have migrated our website to a new and more powerful server. This move resulted in a number of our pages losing their formatting. We are working as quickly as possible to get the formats restored, but since there are over 2,000 pages on our site, it will probably take some time to complete the process. We apologize for any inconvenience this may create, and appreciate your patience. Thanks very much!
