Dear Patricia,

A company called Health Concerns makes it. I received it from Kirk Moultan

thru the mail. I have never introduced myself, usually I just lurk & learn.

My name is Linda & I have hep-c,received thru a blood transfusion,

when I was 4yrs.old, I am now 59yrs old. I lost my partner & the love of my

life April 9th, he hemmoraged to death from various's of the esophagus, he

also had hep c, thru a tranfusion when he was born. We only found out about

the virus right before Thanksgiving. We did not know he was that bad. It

was a terrible shock to lose him, it still don't seem real.

The virus keeps me so tired all the time,I was hoping the

herbs would help with energy.I am diabetic,have high blood pressure &

hardening of the arteries. My viral load is very low, Thank God. I'm going

to have vascular surgery in my legs. I' m getting where it's very hard to

walk. It would really improve my quality of life. I go see the surgeon next

Thursday & get it set up. Please everyone pray for me & send healing my way.

I don't feel sorry for myself,at least maybe they can fix mine. A lot of

peaple don't even have legs or can't walk at all. Sorry this is so long.

Love, Linda & her much missed Honey

Hi Shantell

Go to www.richters.com they have the best choice of herbs you can dream

of in North America - my opinion. They also provide all information about

how and where to plant. They are extremeluy well organized for shipping,

plants arrive in perfect shape - they are a little pricy, but the quality

is there !

Pictures are sometimes available on the Web, if not you can order their

catalog (Free).

Good luck

Hi all

I was wondering if anyone had come accross any websites that show the

actual plant that the chinese herbs come from, not just the herb in the

prepared form we later see. I am planning an ornamental garden of

Chinese Herbs and there want to know if they are pleasing to the eye as

well as the body. Also any info on growing these herbs and how big

they grow etc would be much appreciated.

Thanking you in advance

Chinese Herbs: a Natural Solution

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.
