Herbal Therapy in Winterthur Töss

Chinese herbal therapy is one of Jing Zhang's main areas of practice, alongside acupuncture. In traditional Chinese medicine, plant and mineral ingredients are combined into formulas rather than routinely used as single substances. The formula and its proportions are selected for the individual and may change over time.

A herbal consultation begins with your health history, current symptoms, medication, supplements, and any medical treatment already under way. Mrs Zhang also uses Chinese diagnosis, including pulse and tongue observations, when considering a formula.

At follow-up appointments, she reviews how the formula has been taken, any changes in symptoms, and any unwanted effects before deciding whether to continue or adjust it. The written prescription and the dispensed herbs are separate parts of the process.

Bring an up-to-date list of medicines and supplements. Tell Mrs Zhang if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, preparing for surgery, have allergies, or are receiving treatment for a long-term condition. Herbal ingredients can interact with medicines, so questions about compatibility should also be discussed with the prescribing clinician or pharmacist.

Do not stop or change prescribed medication in order to take a herbal formula. Chinese herbal therapy is complementary care and does not replace medical diagnosis, monitoring, or urgent treatment.
