About
Oriental Medicinals
Oriental Medicinals are usually referred to as Chinese Herbs. Most
of them are herbs but some are minerals and a few animal products
are used.
These medicinals are prescribed in accordance with full diagnosis
of the patient’s condition. They can be taken individually
but are usually combined to form formulas. Formulas can even be custom
designed for a specific patient at a specific time. Custom formulas
can be modified as the patient improves so the formula continues
to match the patient’s condition.
These formulas are now available in several forms. The traditional
method was to boil raw medicinals and drink the decocted liquid.
Now, concentrated forms of medicinals are available in pills, powders,
and even gel capsules.
Quality of medicinals can vary greatly. Palm Harbor Oriental Medicine
uses only the highest quality and our suppliers ensure that no contamination
or poor quality medicinals are present.
