Karen Adès

Chinese Herbal Medicine has continuously developed over the last 2000 years. An enormous pharmacopoeia of natural substances is drawn on to create potent and efficacious herbal remedies that may be prescribed as raw herbs, powdered herbs and pills or capsules.

There are more than 450 frequently used substances in Chinese herbal medicine – most are derived from plants, although some are derived from animal and mineral substances.

Karen predominantly uses plant-based herbs and only prescribes herbs from suppliers certified by the Australian TGA operating in accordance with the Australian Code of GMP for Medicinal Products. These herbs have undergone testing to ensure they are of a high quality and uncontaminated by heavy metals, pesticides, bacteria, yeast and mould. Karen does not use any products manufactured from endangered plant or animal species – these have been replaced by alternative herbs with similar therapeutic actions.
