The scientific, ethical and legal aspects regarding treatment of COVID-19 with Chinese Herbal Medicine are discussed in this article. Chinese Herbal Formulas have a long history of effective treatment for many diseases and they have clearly stood the test of time. However, our Western world has many other requirements and restrictions regarding its usage. This article will give more insights into treating COVID-19 with Chinese Herbs. It highlights the importance of better integration of Western and Chinese Medicine, so that COVID-19 patients outside of China may also benefit from this ancient wisdom.

Treatment Protocols & Clinical Information

Licensed Acupuncturists treat diseases and patterns according to the principles of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) or Traditional Asian Medicine. We are the only licensed practitioners where herbal medicine is written into our scope of practice. It is a medicine based on pattern differentiation. It is not “one herbal formula for one disease" but rather "one disease with many formulas to treat it" based upon how the disease manifests in each individual.

Please do not share these resources with untrained patients or other types of practitioners. Even the ones with "stages" of the disease are guidelines and not absolute. It does our years of training a disservice to put out information implying that you can use a single document to treat the complex interplay of disease and constitution.
