“Giovanni Maciocia’s extensive knowledge and deep understanding are evident in the formulas he has developed. These formulas address the core principles of Chinese herbs and cover a wide range of applications.
What sets Maciocia’s formulas apart is their holistic approach. They are imbued with the intention of restoring balance and harmony to the entire body and promoting healing.“
Dr. Yair Maimon OMD PhD AC.“I don’t know what I would do without The Little Treasures! They are such an effective and important adjunct to my acupuncture treatments in both of my paediatric clinics. The formulae address many of the most common conditions I see in children.
With The Little Treasures, I can expedite children’s recovery compared to relying solely on acupuncture. This is particularly helpful for families who may struggle to make frequent clinic visits, and I find that they are extremely well tolerated by children.”
Rebecca Avern“In his many years of clinical practice, Giovanni Maciocia® has flexibly applied the application of Chinese herbs in clinical practice in the West: he has adapted classical Chinese herbal formulae to fit clinical conditions in the West and he has devised new formulae for patterns that are not prevalent in China. Good results have been achieved and such formulae have been well received by his patients.”
Prof. Zhou Zhong Ying“Giovanni Maciocia was undoubtedly the outstanding practitioner of our generation, renowned for his insightful lectures and comprehensive textbooks that have become standard teaching material in Colleges across the Western world.
These are formulae specifically composed to meet the needs of many western patients seeking to manage the stresses and strains of 21st century existence.”
