The choice of administering Chinese herbal medicine depends on a range of factors. For complex cases, it is more appropriate to take prescriptive herbal tea because each herb is individually chosen by Lily.  This means problems occurring in your body can be more directly addressed with a herbal tea preparation. Standard herbal pills are generally offered if you have a chronic and longstanding problem since they are gentler and slow-acting.

Lily will always prescribe you Chinese herbal medicine with your individual needs in mind so that the best course of treatment and the right type of administration is chosen for you.
