Understanding Traditional Chinese Medicine


Since receiving his MBA from New York University in 1990, Richard (Rich) Berrebbi has had a long career in business, holding positions at Zepter International, JPM Chase, and others. Today, Richard Berrebbi combines his interest in Chinese medicine with his business acumen in his role as partner at American Healing Technologies, Inc. (AHT).

AHT markets and distributes herbal formulations used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), but the company is also committed to fostering a deeper understanding of Chinese medicine in American culture. Their products take approaches from TCM and apply them to conditions common in the present-day United States.

AHT’s tea selection is an example of this, with a formulation for healthy digestion that can be a helpful aid for weight loss. A red tea formulation containing ingredients such as tangerine peel, mint, senna leaf, and hawthorne berry, the tea is based on an ancient formula. In TCM, digestion is considered an integral part of healthy weight loss, and the tea is designed to help promote just that.
