Herbs as a healing power – individually combined, specifically effective
Chinese herbal therapy is one of the oldest and most comprehensive healing methods within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It uses the effect of natural substances – primarily of herbal origin – to specifically regulate energetic imbalances in the body.
The focus is not on a single herb, but on an individually tailored formula. It is put together on the basis of precise TCM diagnostics – adapted to the constitution, course of symptoms and life circumstances. The result is a tailor-made blend that specifically targets where the body needs support.
The medicines come from strictly controlled sources and are prescribed as decoctions, granules or tablets – depending on the life situation and requirements.
In TCM, each medicinal plant is attributed a specific energetic effect: thermal (e.g. warming or cooling), gustatory (e.g. bitter, sweet, pungent) and functional (e.g. moving, calming, strengthening).
A formula never targets just one symptom, but balances entire functional circuits – e.g. by strengthening the spleen qi in cases of exhaustion, cooling internal heat in cases of inflammation or loosening phlegm in cases of chronic coughs.
The combination of herbs follows a differentiated logic with main, accompanying and supporting components – comparable to an orchestra in which each substance plays a clearly defined role.
Chinese herbal therapy is also becoming increasingly important from a scientific perspective. Clinical studies and pharmacological analyses show that many herbs can have anti-inflammatory, immunomodulating, antispasmodic, sleep-promoting and digestive effects. Especially for functional, chronic or psychosomatic complaints, herbal medicine offers a gentle, regulating alternative – without dependencies or strong side effects.
Chinese herbal therapy is suitable for anyone who wants to treat physical or mental complaints in a sustainable and cause-oriented way. It is also a valuable support for long-term symptoms or as an accompaniment to other therapies.

Practical experience
Plants are more than just active ingredients – they are carriers of history, intelligence and a connection to nature.
In our practice for traditional Chinese medicine in Berlin-Friedenau, we do not see herbal therapy as a standard measure, but as a subtle, highly effective form of support. Each formula is the expression of precise observation, a differentiated diagnosis and a deep understanding of the processes that take place in the body and in a person’s life situation.
We work with the utmost care: the medicines we use come from controlled sources and are individually formulated – not according to a formula, but according to the individual. In doing so, we combine thousands of years of empirical medicine with modern quality assurance and the latest scientific findings on the effects of herbal substances.
Our aim is not to quickly suppress a symptom, but to achieve lasting regulation from within.
Working with medicinal plants requires time, attention and trust – this is exactly what we bring to the table. And this is exactly what we pass on: in the form of a therapy that is as effective in its depth as it is in its gentleness.
