are there any side effects?
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is a complex and intricate science that has evolved over thousands of years of practical and clinical observation. In fact, Chinese herbal medicines are more widely used than acupuncture in China and other Asian countries because they address a broader variety of conditions and can often be far more effective. Following a careful diagnosis, Dr. Brancato may prescribe a highly individualized combination of raw, powdered, or encapsulated herbal extracts for use over a given period of time. After using this herbal prescription of a week or two Dr. Mark will reevaluate and if necessary, modify the formula to accommodate your current condition.
Chinese Herbs
Chinese herbs, when appropriately prescribed by a certified herbalist, promote health by supporting both a calm mind and the vital functioning and longevity of all of the internal organs. Adverse reactions are rare and, if they do occur, are usually mild. By stimulating the body’s own healing response, Chinese herbal formulas are excellent natural alternatives for people who often experience side effects from pharmaceutical drugs. If the use of western pharmaceuticals is necessary, Chinese herbs can also be used to mutually enhance treatment while offsetting the potential toxicity of these medicines. If you are concerned about potential herb/drug interactions, Dr. Brancato will contact your primary care physician in order to develop a complimentary approach to maintaining your health and well-being.Both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are extremely effective in their ability to restore optimum health by correcting and maintaining the equilibrium of all body systems.
