Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM)

CHM therapies have their historical origins with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and date back 4,000 years. Herbs today are prepared with the benefits of modern technology but are still guided by the historical wisdom underlying TCM. In CHM practice, herbs are used to correct imbalance underlying a disease pattern and to promote the body's ability to heal itself. Each herb has a different effect on the body and can fall under a number of classifications such as warming, cooling, sour, or bitter and can affect a variety of organs, including the liver, lungs, or heart. TCVM utilizes herbal formulas that are a combination of single-herb ingredients to treat a specific pattern of disease.

An extensive body of clinical research has shown CHM to be extremely effective in treating chronic veterinary medical issues in the fields of gastroenterology, cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, reproduction, oncology, and animal behavior. CHM is also commonly used to treat respiratory issues and sports injuries. In addition, CHM increases the quality of life for geriatric patients, especially those diagnosed with terminal cancer, as it assists the body's ability to reduce tumor size when chemotherapy may not be an option. We combine CHM with acupuncture and/or Western Medicine to enhance clinical results.
