The underlying principles employed by The McLaren Street Clinic’s Chinese herbal medicine practitioners go back over 2,000 years and are very different from traditional Western thinking about health, illness and the workings of your body.
Today, amalgams of over three hundred herbs are prescribed to normalise imbalanced energy, or Qi ("life force", "breath" or "spiritual energy"), that runs through invisible meridians in your body. The conventional way of administering Chinese herbs is to make a strong tea that is simmered for about an hour or more, they can also be administered as pills or granules.
