One branch of Chinese medicine on which Leo Dening focuses is Chinese herbal medicine.
The use of plant products is the origin of most medical systems around the world, and Chinese medicine is no exception. Despite Chinese medicine being best known in the west for acupuncture, in China, herbal medicine generally plays a bigger role than acupuncture.
Herbs used in Chinese medicine are each considered to have particular properties which can be used in the treatment of illness. Traditionally, dried herbs are boiled up or ground. Today, concentrated powders, pills, capsules and tablets are also available.
Leo Dening spends time sourcing the best herbal products from reliable RCHM-approved suppliers. He does not use animal products in his practice.
