Chinese herbal therapy has been in use for more than 2,200 years, and formulas are composed of ingredients chosen to complement each other. The main difference with Western medicinal practice is that medications are usually prescribed individually to aid the body by focusing on specific effects.
The Chinese medicine philosophy suggests that everything - including your organs - is composed of 5 elements: fire, earth, metal, water and wood.
The formulas and herbs used in herbal therapy are similarly classified into the five tastes - sweet, salty, bitter, pungent and sour. The 5 tastes correspond to the five elements.
