The purpose of this introduction is to two-fold: to introduce you to the wonderful benefits & natural remedies of Chinese Herbs and Chinese Herbal Medicine and to introduce you to how we have updated our website so you can best match your western, biomedical illness or Chinese Medicine disharmony with the possible appropriate formulation of Chinese herbs.

The Chinese Herbal formulas we have matched with the Western Biomedical illnesses (found in our Western Medicine Search tab) and Chinese Medicine Disharmonies (In our Chinese Medicine Search tab) are matched in a general sense. You may need to have a consultation with an herbalist in which we are well versed in long-distance relationships with our clients.

To begin with, Heaven and Earth Chinese Medicine Healing Center specializes strictly in Chinese Herbal Medicine or formulas of Chinese herbs, which is truly a wonderful means that can benefit your health.

We also understand that for others this may be the first time being introduced to Chinese Herbal Medicine, Chinese Herbs and the philosophy of Chinese Medicine in general. We have found the best way to become more comfortable with taking the natural remedies of Chinese Herbs is to spend plenty of time understanding how and why they work so well. We suggest exploring our site and becoming familiar with different Chinese herb formulas, based on your Western Biomedical illnesses or Chinese Medicine disharmonies. You may need to take more than one Chinese herb formula based on the listed disharmonies associated with each product.

We are here to deliver ANSWERS on how you too can build a healthier and stronger body, not just free from restrictions and pain, but truly vibrant with Chinese Herbs!

How you ask? There are two main reasons why Chinese Herbal Medicine is so effective.

The first, which is Chinese Herbal Medicines' unique understanding of the body in both health and illness. Through the eyes of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine the root of disease is much easier to identify, which brings a fresh perspective and approach to resolving just about any ailment.

Chinese Medicine consolidates all ailments back to five main organ systems: the Spleen, the Liver, the Kidneys, the Heart and the Lungs. Each of these organ systems have responsibilities — in fact, they even rule other organs and more importantly, the understanding of how they inter-relate is the true key to Chinese Medicine's success.

Chinese Medicine works with what we call "patterns" which is a description of the organ systems' environmental state, for instance Spleen Wetness. A pattern can also possibly describe an inter-relationship between organs, such as Liver invading the Spleen. A pattern is developed by combining 3 or more disharmonies, something in which we can all understand, such as weak digestion, sinus congestion and over-thinking.

Now let's explore, why Chinese Herbal Medicine works so well?

The beauty of Chinese Herbal Medicine is that once a root cause or causes have been established by means of the methodology of Chinese Medicine, we can start to apply the proper natural remedies of Chinese herbal formulas.

The combinations of Chinese herbs that you will find in either teapill or raw herbal formula form, have been developed and refined over hundreds of years, some even thousands of years. These Chinese herb formulas, because of their unique and well-thought out combinations, have the flexibility and focus to address a root problem.

There is an old Chinese saying, "One Chinese herb formula can treat 1000 diseases, and it may take 1000 Chinese herb formulas to treat one disease".

Now that we've touched upon the understanding of Chinese Medicine and the natural remedies of Chinese Herbs, we would like to take a moment to give you a short tutorial. We would also like to let you know that we are beginning to create a series of Chinese Herbal Medicine video's focusing on specific Chinese herb formulas, concepts and ideas.

There are basically 3 MAIN paths to take on our website.

The first is if you are looking to learn about Chinese Herbal Medicine— to do so, click on the About Chinese Medicine" tab. In this section, you will find helpful Chinese Herbal Medicine articles that David and Teah have written, The Five Organ Systems guide which talks of the core principles of Chinese Medicine and also neat links to other great information on the web.

The second and third options are if you would like to personally benefit from Chinese Herbal Medicine and Chinese Herbs and start on an herbal program. If this is the case, you have two choices.

The first way is to use our website as a search tool! We have spent many hours over the years since 2002 developing the website technology to enable you to begin to find the right natural remedy of Chinese herbs for you.

As we explained earlier, Chinese Medicine is all about finding the root cause of your complaints In some cases, it takes a skilled practitioner of Chinese Herbal Medicine to develop a successful treatment program, that is usually refined on a consistent basis. What we have done here on our website is essentially create the core of our knowledge, as experienced Chinese Herbal Medicine practitioners, within these web pages to help you perform the necessary research in a quick and easy 3-step process.

To do your own research, start by clicking on either the "Western Medicine Search" tab, or the "Chinese Medicine Search" tab. The "Western Medicine Search" is a place where you will find a listing of Western Medicine diseases, like Irritable Bowel Syndrome or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Our "Chinese Medicine Search" is if you don't necessarily have a diagnosed disease, but have a complaint. For example, red and itchy eyes, bloating, or low energy.

When you find your biomedical disease or Chinese Medicine disharmony click on it. You will be directed to a landing page in which you will see a listing of 3 to 9 Chinese herb products. Each product will have a corresponding set of disharmonies. Use these disharmonies to identify your overall disposition. We believe this is the best possible way for you to begin to understand the natural remedies and feel confident that you are possibly choosing the appropriate formulas for your requirements.

When you click on a Chinese herb product, you may find a Traditional Chinese Medicine pattern within the product description. You may wish to do more research on this pattern, in which you may find in our "About Chinese Medicine" section, in the "Five Organ Systems Guide". This pattern is what we call the "Root Cause".

The second choice is to work directly with either David or Teah, in which they will create a customized treatment program of Chinese Herbs specifically for you. Our "consultation service" is truly the best route to take if you are confused or not confident about which formulas to try. You may also have an extremely complex situation where you may require the alliance of a personal herbalist to assist and guide you.

We also offer a very special program in which we can travel to your place of business, church or organization presenting our H.E.A.L.T.H. Lecture Series, to help your community or employees learn and benefit from the healing potential of Chinese Herbs. Please click on the "H.E.A.L.T.H Lecture Series" tab in the header to learn more.

Our main focus is to help you feel great every single day with the incredible healing power of Chinese herbs. Please take the time to explore our website as you begin your journey with us at Heaven and Earth Chinese Medicine Healing Center!
