CHINESE HERBAL THERAPY

For thousands of years, the Chinese have long-held the belief that certain herbs, when strategically combined together, can provide a natural way to manage the health of both people and animals. 

Chinese herbal medicine can be especially effective in treating chronic medical conditions. It is also frequently used to relieve pain, improve and restore organ function, and strengthen the immune system. Best of all, it is completely natural and has virtually no side effects when administered under the guidance of a trained professional.

The ultimate goal of Chinese herbal therapy is to gradually return the body to a state of natural balance and wellness without the risk of side effects that traditional pharmaceuticals can often present.

Compassionate Care Veterinary Hospital is pleased to offer this ancient treatment modality as part of our alternative therapy options.
