Chinese Herbs are used by the acupuncturist in a manner similar to how your MD would use pharmaceuticals. After a thorough evaluation and physical exam, the acupuncturist selects an herbal formula that addresses not only your symptoms, but also the root of your condition. While most pharmaceuticals are chemically enhanced plant derivatives, Chinese Herbs are the natural unaltered form of medicinal plants. A competent acupuncturist will always ask if you are currently taking any prescription drug to ensure that there will not be any drug/herb interaction.
