Chinese Herbal Medicine

Personalised Healing Through Nature in the North West

Chinese Herbal Medicine is a time-honoured component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), offering a natural and personalised approach to restoring balance and promoting overall wellness. Our practice in Newton-Le-Willows covers Warrington, Leigh and surrounding areas throughout the North West, specialising in creating tailored herbal formulae that address both the symptoms and the root causes of health issues.

What is Chinese Herbal Medicine and How Does It Work?

Chinese Herbal Medicine utilises a vast range of natural substances—primarily herbs—to restore the body’s equilibrium. After a comprehensive consultation, we develop a personalised herbal formula based on your unique pattern of imbalances. In TCM, each herb is chosen for its specific properties and its ability to work synergistically with other herbs. The aim is to harmonise the body’s functions, support digestion, balance hormones, and enhance immune function. In the UK, we are only allowed to use herbal products, therefore all of the formulae are vegan. 

Herbal formulas may be prepared as teas, decoctions, powders, or capsules, making them versatile and easy to incorporate into your daily routine. These treatments work gradually to correct underlying imbalances, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and restoring overall vitality.

History

Chinese Herbal Medicine is one of the world’s oldest healing traditions, with roots extending back over two millennia. Emerging from ancient Chinese observations of nature and the human body, this practice was refined through centuries of clinical experience and scholarship. Foundational texts such as the “Shennong Bencao Jing” laid the groundwork for understanding the properties and therapeutic uses of various herbs. Today, Chinese Herbal Medicine continues to evolve, blending time-honoured wisdom with modern research to offer a natural, personalised approach to health and well-being.

What to Expect

Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation, during which we assess your overall health, lifestyle, and specific symptoms. This detailed evaluation allows us to identify the root causes of your condition and to design a bespoke herbal formula tailored just for you.

Once your formula is prepared, you will receive clear instructions on how to take the herbs—whether as a tea, decoction, or capsule—and guidance on the treatment duration. Typically, patients notice gradual improvements within a treatment cycle of 6 to 12 weeks. Consistency is key, as Chinese Herbal Medicine works by gradually rebalancing the body’s internal systems.

During your treatment, you may experience subtle changes such as improved energy levels, enhanced digestion, and a general sense of well-being. Because Chinese Herbal Medicine addresses the underlying imbalances rather than just the symptoms, many patients enjoy long-term health benefits that extend well beyond the treatment period.

Treatment Cycle & Side Effects

A full course of Chinese Herbal Medicine usually spans several weeks to months, depending on the severity of your condition and your individual response to the herbs. For most, noticeable improvements can be observed within 6–12 weeks of consistent treatment.

As with any herbal therapy, potential side effects are rare and typically mild. Some patients might experience minor digestive disturbances or a slight change in energy levels during the initial adjustment period. These effects are usually temporary and can be managed by adjusting the dosage or formulation. Carla will closely monitor your progress and adjust your treatment as needed to ensure optimal results.
