Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Wed, 15 Jun 2005 21:45:40 -0700 (PDT) JoAnn Guest <angelprincessjo Chinese Herbs: a Natural Solution Chinese Herbs: a Natural Solution JoAnn Guest Jun 13, 2005 18:34 PDT http://www.willner.com/article.aspx?artid=147 With a history of over 5,000 years, is a highly organized system to health and prevention. Recently, there has been a growing interest and acceptance of . Since November 1997, the National Institute of Health (NIH), issued a statement recommending Acupuncture (a discipline of Chinese Medicine) as an effective form of treatment, with less side effects than many conventional therapies. In this article we will answer some frequent asked questions about and Chinese herbs. How does compare to Conventional Medicine? Conventional Medicine views the body in parts and treats symptoms within isolated parts of the body. views the body holistically, as a microcosm or entity. With consideration to the interrelation of each part of the body, its diagnosis surveys the whole body and treats the ailment. To give an analogy, think of each part of the body as a team member. Once a ailment is identified, Conventional Medicine concentrates and treats one team member. This individualized treatment may cause disharmony in the team. On the other hand, Chinese Medicine focuses on the whole team to resolve the problem. This teamwork approach harmonizes the team to work in unity. Moreover, ¹s approach differs from conventional medicine because it concentrates on treating the underlying conditions of a ailment to balance the body; rather than targeting an isolated part of the body and directly treating the symptoms. For instance, in conventional medicine, we often hear about the search for the magic bullet to cure a disease. The magic bullet implies a fast and aggressive eradication of a disease on one part of the body. For , the magic bullet does not target only one part of the body, rather it examines the whole body, to locate and resolve the underlying conditions, thereby treating the ailment. How does approach health? Conventional Medicine¹s approach to health is a direct treatment of symptoms and diseases. Indeed, we are all taught to go to our doctor when we are sick, not when we are healthy. On the other hand, the emphasis of is on prevention, as well as treatment of ailments. Chinese take herbs and cook with herbs when they are healthy to maintain their health, as well as visit their doctor when they have minor ailments. Chinese believe that minor ailments must be treated at the onset, to prevent the development of a more serious disease. For example, most of us do not consider a spraining ankle serious enough to warrant a visit to our doctor. However, Chinese Medicine treats a sprain seriously because that sprain has the potential to result into rheumatoid arthritis in the future. What are the basic principles of ? The basis of is the balance of Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are polar opposites, like night and day and are co-dependent, i.e., Yin is necessary for Yang to exist, and vice versa. Optimal health is dependent on the balance of Yin and Yang. Where there is an imbalance, ailments arise. Another key principle in is the concept Chi (pronounced chee). Chi is best defined as metabolic or vital energy, i.e., an energy force that animates life and allows us to breath. Chi is the energy that pumps the oxygen through our blood, and flows through the veins. The proper flow of Chi is important for good health. When there is a deficiency or obstruction in the flow of Chi, ailments arise. What is Chinese Herbal Medicine? Chinese herbal medicine is a highly sophisticated practice of formulation and therapy, that uses over 6,000 natural elements. Chinese herbal medicine is the most widely practiced disciple of medicine in Asia. It administers balanced multiple herbal formulas developed to correct imbalanced of Yin and Yang and the flow of Chi within the body, thereby assisting in the treatment of ailments. Do Chinese herbs have side effects? Conventional drugs are intended only to treat isolated part of the body, without consideration of the whole body. However, drugs do affect the whole body, which results in serious side effects. In Chinese herbal therapy, herbs are combined and formulated to treat ailments or imbalances, with the intent to affect the whole body. Chinese Herbal formulas are botanically composed to work collectively with the whole body to treat the underlying conditions where ailments arise. Nonetheless, there can be some mild adverse reactions, like gastrointestinal disturbance, when herbs are taken on an empty stomach. If such a reaction occurs, it can be prevented by taking the herbs after a meal. Are Chinese herbs effective? Chinese Herbal Medicine is a discipline that has derived from thousands of years of practice. In fact many popular pharmaceutical products are derived from herbs that originated in Asia. In recent years, pharmacological testings on hundreds of herbs have demonstrated that many herbs have a physiological activity that supports the traditional use of the herb. At present, there is much research throughout the world on Chinese herbs, like Ginkgo Biloba and Ginseng that validate the traditional Chinese use of the herb. Are there Chinese herbs that can assist with Stress? Many herbs for stress may give us the sedative effect. Chinese herbs like Jujube fruit can assist with the tensions of stress without the drowsiness or sedative effect. Jujube works by promoting better circulation and enabling the body to have a better tolerance of stress. Like most Chinese herbs, jujube is best used in a multiple formulation. For example, Stress Away by Neo€Concept is a Chinese herbal formula that is formulated with Jujube. How can Chinese herbs help with digestion? If you suffer from indigestion, reflux, gas, bloatedness, or just poor digestion, herbs like Ginger and Licorice have long been known to assist with the dissipation of gas and soothe the digestion track. Chinese herbs like Atractylodes can assist to harmonize the stomach and spleen. Neo€Concept Gastro Ease is natural herbal formulation that assist with healthy digestion. It is multi herbal balanced formulation that combines ginger, licorice atractylodes, and other Chinese herbs. Gastro Ease assist to promote healthy digestion by assisting on the underlying conditions to balance the digestion system and work with the flow of Chi or movement in the body, to assist with healthy digestion. What are some women¹s Chinese herbs? Chinese herbalism has address women¹s issues long before modern medicine recognized the women suffered from monthly discomforts. In Asia, Dong Quai is the most widely used Chinese herb for women¹ health. Dong Quai tonify's to the blood and supports muscular relaxation. Considered a phyto-estrogen, Dong Quai can assist with the hormonal imbalances of monthly cycles. Bupleurum is another Chinese herb that has historically supported women through the month. Bupleurum is a Chinese herb that may assist with irritability and mood swings. (see Neo€Concept Monthly Relief) What Chinese herbal formula addresses headaches? Recently, a Chinese Acupuncture clinic in New England administered a Chinese herbal formula that can assist with the conditions of migraine, tension, and cluster headaches. The migraine suffers that used this formula over 70% of them felt that this formula assisted them with their condition. The herbal formula was administered continuously for the duration of at least a month and continued in application as needed. The Chinese herbal remedy was formulated to assist with easing tensions and promote the flow of Chi in the body to balance the system. (see Neo€Concept Head Relief) How long do I have to take Chinese herbs? We are conditioned to think expedience is effective. When we take a drug we want to feel or see the results immediately. What many of us do not realize, is that expedience tends to shock the natural balance in our body, which may contribute to the side effects. With Chinese herbal therapy, the uses of herbs tend to take a longer duration, as its emphasis is to work gently on the underlying imbalance of the body. Although Chinese Herbal therapy may be administered for a longer duration, it is a more natural and balance approach to health.
