Herbal Formulas
The unique feature of Chinese herbal medicine is the degree of development. In other forms of herbal medicine, especially in the western herbs are used alone or in combination with other small quantities of other herbs that have the same function. In contrast, Chinese herbal medicine rarely a single herb is prescribed to treat a condition

Herbal formulas have different ways of preparation. Pre-made formulas are available in pills, tablets, capsules, powders, extracts and alcohol extracts of water, among others. These formulas are very convenient because it does not require preparation and are easy to take. However, the concentration of the herbs in these products is low. These products are not generally as powerful as using traditional preparation of decoction.

The decoction is the traditional method of preparation of herbal medicine. A decoction is a highly concentrated tea. The doctor weighs the daily dosage of each herb and combines it in an envelope. The patient receives an envelope for each day they take the herbal formula. The patient then boiled herbs. The boiling process takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes and the resulting decoction will be consumed several times during the day.

Another way to consume herbs is through granulated herbs, which are highly concentrated powdered extracts. These powders are first prepared the herbs through the traditional decoction. The decoction is then dehydrated to a powder. Subsequently, physicians can mix these powders in accordance with the needs of each patient. The powder is poured into hot water to recreate the decoction process. This eliminates the need to prepare the herbs at home, but still maintains the original strength of the decoction.
