Why TCM tinctures?

As research into chemical components of Chinese herbs and their effect on the body increases more people are turning to this healing system which is a whole plant based medicine.  

 

The benefits of using the actual herb root, stem, leaf, seed or flower is that, in combination, side effects and toxicity of different herbs can be reduced while the effectiveness enhanced. All plant parts will most likely not be used in a single formula as different plant parts have specific properties which can be extracted for varying therapeutic effects.
