Herbal medicine goes hand-in-hand with Acupuncture. It is an essential component to the overall treatment process especially in autoimmune disorders, infertility, pain issues, cancer care support, mental-emotional, and other chronic illnesses. It is impossible for any clinic to see patients for acupuncture daily or twice a day as a China’s hospital. Therefore, additional nutrition and herbs to complement acupuncture sessions are an important part of the TCM regimen. In some cases, herbal medicine is the majority of the treatment process.

In China, the name for tea is “cha”, and is presented with simplicity in a relaxed and meditative atmosphere. Drinking tea tempers the mind, body, and spirit, alerts thought, prevents and causes drowsiness, lightens and refreshes the body. There are four types of teas: black, oolong, green and white.
Tea is naturally caffeinated and depending on the brand, type, and how it is made, tea can have 10mgs to 60mg of caffeine per 8oz serving. Herbal teas have none. When compared to coffee, which can have up to 180mg of caffeine per 8oz, or more, tea has a significantly less amount of caffeine.
