Types of Herbal Medicine
 |
1. Raw herbs
The conventional method of applying herb therapy is by decoction -
a strong "tea" made by simmering raw herbs in water. Traditionally,
a specially glazed clay teapot is used to make the tea. Click here

Raw herbs are subject to misidentification, substitution, alteration
and environmental contamination. However, the industry lacks a central
mechanism of quality control for raw herbs. Patients may find difficulty
in purchase quality raw herbs on the market.
Sanjiu Medical Centre builds up the most complete and high performance
stock of Chinese herbs. We have a collection of over 700 types of commonly
used herbs of the top quality. Patients are able to purchase raw herbs
from us online. We are pleased to ship the herbs to anywhere around the
world.
We offer the best quality, the best price, and the best service. Please

2. Cooked herbal medicine (vacuum packed)
Herbal extracts may be the easiest way to prepare herbal medicine.
However, some patients prefer the original flavor of the raw herbs.
To serve our patients better, we installed a computerized automatic
decoction machine that is able to cook the raw herbs automatically.
Then the tea is automatically vacuum packed for immediate use.

3. Herbal Extracts
Since the decoction method is time consuming, and the taste of
the decoction is unpalatable to many, herbal extracts (concentrated
Chinese herbal granules) are developed. Herbal extract is a representation
of a new generation of Chinese herbal products, offering a safe
and convenient way of using herbal medicine. These extracts carry
the same potency.

Centres around the world.

4. Pulverized herbs in capsules
or pills
Another type of herbal medicine is made in the form of capsules and
pills similar to Western Medicine.
|
Prepared and pulverized herbs are usually prepared according to classical
Chinese herbal formula. It is the most convenient way to take herbal medicine.
However, most of the Chinese Medicine doctors prescribe Chinese herbs
to the patients according to the specific symptoms and conditions. In
some situation, the effectiveness of the pulverized (patent) medicine
is not as good as raw herbs and herbal extracts.
