Herbs grow under different climate and soil, will have different function, besides this, Traditional Chinese Medicine are more formula oriented, to the contrast, western world more understand herbs by it's individual functions. Through about the history, Chinese Medicine mainly prescribed by formulas which compose normally ranging from 4 to 15 herbs.

Because health and illness are dynamic changing, so the formula has to cope with current condition of the body. Different combination of formulas, create very special functions which single herb can not achieve.

There are a few hundred of herbs, and by selecting 10 or 12 herbs from them to mix together, it will create numerous formulas and this will affect the body in numerous ways.
