Chinese Herbs and Formulas
How are Healing the Source Body Character Herbs Different from Traditional Chinese Herbs?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practiced by most acupuncturists, generic formulas are used which contain a wide range of herbs that will provide some benefits for most people. But these formulas do not take into consideration your specific Body Character or your own body's underlying source of imbalance. As a result, TCM herbs are often taken for many weeks or months at a time with only gradual mild benefits.
When you receive treatment using Body Character Medicine herbs these are still the same Chinese herbs used in TCM but because they are formulated to address the imbalances of your specific body, the benefits are almost immediate. Healing occurs quickly so it is not necessary to take them for a long period of time. Ten days is a standard treatment length for a tonic formula. Of course, the more chronic or severe your illness, the longer the treatment will take, but in comparison the treatment times are much shorter than with TCM herbology.

The Oriental system of herbal medicine is based on this same philosophy, the herbs containing various proportions of each the five elements. In Korea, a unique method for prescribing herbs was developed about one hundred years ago. The herbs are chosen not only to treat the disease but are also combined to balance the "body character", the unique proportions of the five elements of each individual patient.
Our personal energy balance of the five elements is called our "body constitution or"body-type" and this kind of herbal medicine called "body-type medicine". This individualized system of prescribing medicine resulted from the discovery that if several people, all with the same illness and symptoms, were given the same medicine, some became well while in the others the symptoms remained the same or became worse. This led to the approach of considering each Individual body character and prescribing herbs for the body-type, not simply for the disease alone. Two people with the same illness but different body-types would not be treated with the same medicine. In Korea, this system has proved to be very effective but it is still little known in the West.
