中草药 Chinese Herbal Therapy
Multi-component Formula to support the TCM Therapy
Indications & Areas of Application
Chinese herbal medicine is a central component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It uses individually combined medicinal substances of plant, mineral, or sometimes animal origin to regulate the body’s functions and restore internal balance. In our practice in Zurich, herbal formulas are prescribed individually based on a detailed diagnosis and are regularly adapted to the patient’s condition.
Today, Chinese herbal medicine is also increasingly used in integrative medicine as a complementary approach alongside conventional medical treatment.
