ma fen a great yin tonic

[Guest guest]

Here I have copied and pasted an article about canabis used as a

strong yin tonic back when it was legally used. To my conclusion Ma-

fen aka marijuana is the most superior yin tonic ever. Much stronger

then rehmannia or american ginseng or any other yin tonic. I believe

it is so strong that it should be used moderately to avoid excess

yin problems. The anger and aggression that is caused by marijauan

withdrawal is a side effect of the yin level falling down to normal

from the abscence of marijuana raising yang levels. Thus yin

deficiency symptoms appear. But I believe if marijauna is used right

it should do a great deal of help to the body. I do not have heart

yin deficiency allthough marijuana has given me stomach yin

deficiency, but eating mangoes and pork seem to help a whole lot for

that. The yang deficiency symptoms i felt were actually excess yin

symptoms. Too much marijuana consumption can cause excess yin

problems wich I have faced, felling sleepy, unmotivated, weak legs...

I am calling it excess yin instead of yang deficiency because my

body didnt feel cold and I had no problems gaining an erection etc.

I am still not sure if I am correct but that is what I am thinking

it is. For the people who say marijauna is expensive prices vary,

here an ounce goes for 70$, it is worth it for helping me build up

all the yin I have lost. Now I have stopped marijuana consumption or

I simply smoke it very occasionally, I feel a whole lot healthier

then since when I havent smoked it before. I am weightlifting wich

is helping me a great deal and increasing my body yang. Allthough I

did notice I now have a slight lung yin deficiency. I dont have

problems with anemia anymore. I have gained some weight due to

wieght lifting. I feel overall a whole lot better then before. But

besides marijauana I have taken probiotics wich have also helped me

a whole lot. I have a darker and healthier complexion in my face.

Overall I look a whole lot healthier then before. Ofcoarse I still

have symptoms of kidney deficiency and spleen deficiency but not as

bad as before. Dampness seems to be my main concern now, i am going

to start taking fu ling. The humidity down here is extremely high

with a dew point of 74F average, basicly a steam room compared to

the average 68F dew point in New York. I believe if I move to a

drier climate my health will improve greately, but I cant. Anyway

below is an article on cannabis and chinese medicine I believe would

give you all a second opinion on marijuana and yin tonic.

 

Shen-Nung, a legendary emperor who ruled in China around 2800 BC, is

traditionally credited with introducing medicines to Chinese

culture. It is said that Shen-Nung had a transparent abdomen, and

intentionally ingested as many as 70 different plants per day so he

could watch their effects and discover their various qualities. He

identified hundreds of different medicines compiled in the oldest

known medicinal text entitled the Pen Ts'ao. For that he was deified

and acclaimed the father of Chinese medicine. Prior to the

reorganization of China as a communist country, many drug stores

offered periodic discounts in honor of Shen-Nung.

 

According to the Pen Ts'ao, ma-fen, the flowering tops of female

cannabis plants, contain the greatest amount of yin energy; yin

being the receptive female dynamic attribute linked with yang, the

creative male element in traditional Chinese philosophy and

medicine. Ma-fen was thus prescribed in cases of a loss of yin, such

as in menstrual fatigue, rheumatism, malaria, beri-beri,

constipation, and absentmindedness. The Pen Ts'ao warns that if too

many Ma seeds were eaten it could cause one to see demons, but if

taken over a long period of time, eating cannabis seeds could enable

one to communicate with spirits. Shen-Nung also instructed the

people in the cultivation of hemp for clothing and textiles.
