One of the most rapidly growing contemporary healthcare specialties, Chinese Herbal Medicine has an unbroken stream of over 3,000 years of documented practice. By its very nature, it continues to envolve. No longer practiced in geographic and practical isolation from other healthcare systems, it has stood the test of functioning alongside other medical modalities. Professionals prescribing herbs today must not only master traditional uses of herbs for contemporary illnesses, but also know how to manage the interface with allopathic medicine and pharmaceuticals.
