The Academician separated Chinese herbs from category of medicines altogether and rightfully so. You can find many benefits of herbs like strengthen the immune system, manage blood pressure, inhibit the growth of tumors and increase sexuality – indeed, the range is very wide. There are a great number of herbs, including those that are considered common and those that are the jealously guarded secrets of traditional Chinese herbalists.

For today, I'd like to suggest you some kinds of herb and what all they can be used for:

First, Ginko biloba is a distinguished herb and arguably the oldest in traditional Chinese medicine. It has proven beneficial effects on the heart and lungs. It's used to treat asthma, coughs, and chronic allergic inflammation. Also, it's one of the best herbal nutritional supplements available.

Another interesting herb is Ginseng, it's a commonly available root that has a flair for healing and rejuvenation. The taste is mildly bittersweet. The Korean ginseng, for instance, stimulates the cerebral cortex and counters exhaustion and extreme infirmity. Moreover, it helps to replenish depleted energy and body fluids. It can also stimulate the sex glands and is capable of removing toxins from the body.

Next, The Lotus seed is yet another indispensable Chinese herb. It stimulates appetite and has a sweet to neutral taste. It tones the kidney and spleen and eases diarrhea.

The black and red Reishi mushrooms are other examples of prized Chinese herbs. They can strengthen the immune system, accentuate the impact of anti-oxidants and increase vitality of white blood corpuscles. These mushrooms also can alleviate insomnia and female sexual dysfunction, and have a calming influence on the mind.

Lastly, the Licorice root comes as a blessing which can detoxify the body, invigorating and cooling it down at the same time. It acts as an analgesic and can regulate the action of other herbs. It can also be used as a natural sweetener.

For me, it's the good alternative for the treatment which easy to find. You may ignore some herb around you, not only Chinese herb but you can also pick many kinds of herbs for helping you. Furthermore, some scientist innovate the new form of them for easier talking like capsule or cream, so, don't worry about the confusing steps of using it.
