About Kanpo Chinese herbal medicine
Sylvia Schroer, one of Gateway's practitioners, also practices Kanpo herbal medicine. Kanpo is founded on the Chinese medicine classics, particularly the Shan Han Lun (Treatise on Cold). Kanpo was developed in Japan where it is practised by the majority (70%) of doctors and medicines are government regulated. The herbs are usually powdered and are convenient to take with a good safety record (in Japan and the UK).
Diagnosis, which is based on traditional methods of tongue, pulse, abdomen and an analysis of the patient's signs and symptoms, leads to the identification of a 'sho' or pattern, which indicates the herbs and medicinals that are most appropriate for the patient. These herbs are often indicated for skin problems or illnesses that have gone to a 'blood level'. They may also be used to treat digestive problems.
Kanpo is provided by Sylvia Schroer at York Natural Health |
