Nature`s remedies –
an effective alternative
Phytotherapy is the use of plants, parts of plants or their preparations as medicinal products. It basically follows the same therapy principles of science-oriented medicine, however, no isolated active ingredients are used, but so-called multi-substance complexes.
This means that it is always whole plant parts that are being used. Those contain several different active ingredients, which work together when ingested and are usually more tolerable than isolated or synthetic active ingredients.
Ancient knowledge and an
individual approach with TCM
Phytotherapy in traditional Chinese medicine is based on a centuries-old tradition and thus contains a wealth of experience. Not only are individual medicinal plants prescribed, but almost always a combination of different medicinal plants in order to enable a very wide range of applications.
The exact selection of medicinal plants is based not only on the conventional medical indication but also particularly on an individual diagnosis according to TCM criteria.
Gentle & rare side-effects
Particularly in the treatment of chronic health disorders and diseases that are not acutely threatening, herbal medicine can be an effective alternative or supplement to synthetic agents with very rare side effects. In fact, they are often the drug of choice when dealing with persisting symptoms.
