Herbal prescriptions
Novena is a general practice Chinese Medicine Practitioner whose area of practice includes internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, dermatology, orthopedics, and miscellaneous diseases. When Novena gives a diagnosis and writes a herbal medicine prescription for treatment, she treats the entire human body as an entity. Her treatment addresses the entire medical disease or condition, instead of each individual symptom. For example for a fever resulting from the flu, Novena may issue a prescription that uses the sweating technique to eliminate wind and cold pathogens in the body, instead of giving out medicine that merely suppresses the symptom of fever.
