What is Chinese Herbal Medicine and why is it clinically relevant today?
Chinese medicine is one of the world’s “oldest, professional, continually practiced, medicines to heal acute and chronic disease. Father of All Medicine”. With medical lineage systems dating back over 2500 years old. [Blue Poppy Press].
CCM or Classical Chinese Medicine emphasizes detailed knowledge of the classical medical canons and the underlying psycho-spiritual-emotional approaches to treating the person. TCM or Traditional Chinese Medicine takes a more standardized and formulaic viewpoint in how to treat the person. Dr. Loop blends these traditions in implementing treatment and based on your needs.
The important point is that Chinese Medicine treats You as a unique person not just a disease process. This profound medicine has an intelligent and dynamic design that allows it to evolve as Nature does. As you do.

Asian Medicine, I will often look for patterns in unique and surprising ways in order to make a correct diagnosis and restore balance. Dr. Loop is also very intuitive and holistic in making connections.- Inspection: visual inspection of face, body, abdomen, ears, tongue and coating, including physical and energetic.
- Listening: to voice, breathing, smelling odors, assessing aura or other color imbalances an a physical and energetic level. Noticing excretions and colors and odors etc.

Custom herbal medicine formulations can also treat general constitution imbalances and foster general health and well-being to keep the body functioning optimally. Further, they assist the body’s natural innate healing ability when correctly prescribed.
