ASSOCIATION OF CHINESE HERBALISM
Chinese herbal medicine is one of the oldest therapeutic systems in the world, with a long history of safe use in the East and, more recently, in the West. It forms a crucial part of the broader practice of Chinese medicine, which also includes acupuncture. The practice is supported by substantial evidence of clinical effectiveness, contributing to its growing popularity as a safe and effective treatment for various disorders worldwide.
In Ireland and Northern Ireland, Chinese herbalism has been professionally practiced since the early 1990s. Registered practitioners undergo several years of rigorous training and adhere to strict codes of ethics and best practices within established professional regulatory frameworks.
