In general, the Chinese idea is that you move body energy with acupuncture; not more. You remove obstacles, add more where there is too little and substract where there is too much. So far, so good: But what happens when someone no longer has enough energy, or simply has a fundamental deficiency?

Then acupuncture - in general - alone does not seem to be sufficient. Simply put: when the tank is empty, the car does not move: nothing happens. So the question arises where to get this fuel. The aim of giving medicinal herbs is to replenish used energy and restore reserves. renew so that the body can work with it. So much for the theoretical explanation.

When dosed correctly, there are generally few known side effects; If at all, according to current knowledge, the side effects usually affect the gastrointestinal tract.
 
Of course - as with everything you eat, from apples to Christmas goose, among others  - allergic reactions occur. But this is just as common as with any food or medication. It is generally taken 3 times a day, if possible before meals.

Traditionally, you usually work with raw, dried or appropriately prepared herbs, boil them for an hour and then strain the whole thing. This process is very time-consuming and unfortunately also very odor-intensive. We mostly work with concentrates; d. h. They are active ingredient concentrates of the corresponding medicinal herbs. These are dissolved in warm, not boiling water. It's all about getting the ingredients into solution, not about boiling them. Many people who travel a lot for work fill the appropriate amount into a thermos flask and then drink their herbs on the go.

So that you can roughly calculate how much the herbs will cost, here is an approximate and non-legally binding idea. The prices are determined by the respective pharmacy. Therapy costs are approx. 40 - 50 euros per month.
