Herb Formulas are developed to use each herb to its greatest advantage. By combining different herbs together, one will not only adjust and increase the treatment results, but also reduce or release the side-effects from the other herbs. It also makes it possible to treat complicated diseases at the same time. That's why few Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors prescribe only a single herb to treat patients.  Formulas are based upon treatment principle, and treatment principle is dependent upon the cause. Because of the different cause of diseases, the herbal formula varies. A formula is made from typically 10-15 herbs together with appropriate dosage depending on the patient's condition and the treatment principle.

In thousands of years of experience in Chinese medicine, generation by generation, there are hundreds of excellent classic formulas to be used to treat different diseases. They have proven to be very effective in treating all kinds of conditions. Often one prescribes a formula based on the classic formula, and adds or deducts some herbs, adjusting the dosage depending on the patient's condition.
