Chinese herbs are plants used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to promote health and treat various ailments. These herbs can be roots, leaves, flowers, or seeds, and are often combined into formulas tailored to individual needs. They are believed to restore balance in the body and enhance overall well-being. The use of Chinese herbs dates back thousands of years and is based on the principles of yin and yang, as well as the five elements. Practitioners of TCM often prescribe these herbs alongside other treatments, such as acupuncture and dietary therapy, to support holistic healing.
