Chinese herbal medicine is particularly effective in treating chronic medical conditions and is often used to relieve pain, improve and restore organ function, and strengthen the immune system. Best of all, it is completely natural and has virtually no side effects when used correctly.

The ultimate goal of Chinese herbal therapy is to gradually return the body to a state of balance and wellness without the risk of side effects that traditional pharmaceuticals can present.

How Many Treatments Will My Pet Need?

Because Chinese herbal medicine is gentler than most medications, it may take a little more time to see significant results. The actual treatment protocol will ultimately depend on the condition being addressed and several other factors that are unique to each patient.

We may also recommend using herbal medicine in conjunction with other treatments, such as acupuncture, to improve overall outcomes.
