Hello

My father in law is a fireman and he says he juices everyday or else he'd be

long one. This helps him to sleep and be up when he needs to jump out of

bed. Gives him extra energy to draw upon at need.

These are all excellent suggestions! I work 24 hr shifts at the fire

department. We do get some sleep time, but it is not always easy to

sleep. I have found that in the middle of the night if I am having

a really tough time, I can take a dose of EmergenC and that will

perk me up. EmergenC is available pretty much anywhere, GNC, Savon,

Etc.

Something called a Total Nutrition (green drink) drink. Carrot juice, best

fresh or E-Mergency does help but mainly a band aid.

 

Lots of fruits rather than candy for snack or even just no more sugar.

Herbal Remedies - Hello

 

 

 

 

Hello I am new to the group. I am an EMT-Basic and have been for almost

a year now. I am very interested in not only modern medicine but also

herbal remedies. I am laughed at a little by friends and co-workers but

they are well humored about it. I do have a qeustion for you all

though... I have a freind you works graveyard shift and runs low on

energy about half-way through the night. I am very against energy

pills, so I told him to try honey. It works but he doesn't really like

the taste. Is there something else he can try?

Hello Holly, I read not that long ago that Ginko Biloba is exellent

for ringing in the ears and for good cerebral circulation and also

gets the blood ciculating to the extremities. I am pretty new to this

group myself, I love it! I bet Doc or someone else in the group would

know of a good source to purchase ginko biloba. God Bless! Love

I don't know about herbs, but I have IBS too. The only thing that has ever

worked for me is consistent intake of fiber. I take it several times a day,

every single day. It took a while to begin to work too, so if you try it,

try to be patient.

I take a homeopathic medicine called Kali Phos. Four of those little pills

dissolved under the tongue does wonders for IBS (I suffer with it too.)

Hi Valarie!

I'm also a nurse ) Nothing wrong with that! I work for an oncologist

now(part-time) but worked in emergency medicine(ER) for about 6 yrs. I

too am interested in a more natural approach to my own and my families

health. I believe the Earth has everything we would ever need to heal.

Anyhoo, green tea is great for weight loss, so is Hoodia.

Dear Kim, I am just getting into this question. I don't know anything

about oregano, but I was recently given 10 oregano plants and I have about 5

already. I want to find out which oregano is used for fungal killing. My

manicurist uses oregano oil for fungal retardation on nails. I would like to

know

if anyone is doing a study of the effect of oregano oils on the actual fungus

in the toe problem. I understand that there is a drug that is very

expensive to take internally but it is a drastic treatment.

Any advice and knowledge would be appreciated.

Hello,

 

I just joined your group. I am an individual looking to learn more

about herbs and other natural remedies.

 

I was recently referred to Oregano Vulgare for internal use for fungal

infections. I am trying to rid my toenails of a fungal infection I

have had for years and can't seem to get rid of it completely.

Someone suggested fighting it from the inside. Which I have never

done before. So I figure its worth a try.

 

Does anyone have any advice for me in using this product?

 

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

I would like to introduce myself to the group. I have been working

with herbs and essential oils along with other alternative health

practices for many years. This last fall I quit my job working with

emotionally disturbed youth to pursue my interest in natural health

full time. I currently make and sell natural skin and hair care

products and plan to expand into natural home cleaning products and

pet care. All of my knowledge is self-taught. I read whatever I can

get my hands on about natural living. I look forward to learning from

those with more experience and hope that maybe I will have alittle

wisdom to share as well. If you would like to learn more about my

business, check out www.soulkitchencrea-tions.com.

Hi Diane,

As the weather turns cooler and the humidity levels spiral

downwards, skin, eyes and eylids and feet bottoms and heels and hand's

have a tendency to become dry and itchy. I have found that by

suggesting the uptake of pure water consumption, and the uptake of

omega3's, people have found releif. Also the use of a room humidifer

can be of great help. Please, no municiple water that contains fluoride

and chloride, as these can be drying to the skin.

A man that works at a local health food store said that he had dry skin for

years until he started taking coconut oil along with another oil, I think

flaxoil. He said one without the other did not work. He now is dry skin free.

Take care.

Hi Diane D!

 

You may want to try out using a spray of CS (colloidal Silver) solution.

I had pink eye and it cured it in one day of spraying directly onto the eyeball

using a $0.97 trigger spray bottle from Wal-Mart. I just turned the nozzle down

to a very light mist and held the lids open.

I make my own homemade CS using a cast off CD player transformer 5 VDC 750 mA.

Six inch long 99.99% pure silver wires dangling in a qt jar using a plastic lid

to get the max separation and to keep the alligator clips from falling into the

jar. It takes me about 8 to 12 hours to produce a qt of light yellow 15 to 20

ppm ionic silver solution.and I use it for everything from paper cuts to

abrasions, to ear aches and strep throat. Fungus and candida infections are

killed on contact so I use it on my toes also. Sore and bleeding gums are cured

in a day just by 10 minute swishing and forcing between the teeth gaps and

swallowing.

 

I have seen a " micro photograph " book that shows the " monsters " growing on our

skin. My internet is down due to a rain storm so I cannot go to Amazon to find

it.

Hi kameshadeep and welcome to Chinese Traditional Medicine.

 

The Spleen and the Lungs are the two Organs most responsible for the

accumulation of Qi in the body. Food and drink " rotten and ripen " in

the Stomach. The Spleen Qi extracts Qi (called " grain Qi " ) from the

food and liquid in the Stomach and carries it to the Lungs where it

mixes with the " air Qi " extracted by the Lungs to become part of the Qi

of the body.

 

I believe you're asking how to strengthen the Spleen and thus enable

the Spleen in Qi accumulation. Part of how to strengthen the Spleen

lies in knowing what weakens the Spleen.

 

The Spleen does not like Dampness. This includes Dampness in the

environment that invades the body as well as Dampness that arises in

the Interior of the body due to things like consuming too many foods

that are Damp-engendering. Dairy and wheat are Damp-engendering foods.

This doesn't mean that people should never eat dairy or wheat but that

the individual shouldn't consume more than s/he can handle. This is

going to vary according to individuals and to how weak or how strong

the Spleen is.

 

The Spleen also is vulnerable to Cold. This includes not only the

temperature of the environment and the body but also the temperature

and the thermal energy of the food consumed. Thermal energy refers to a

food's heating or cooling (or neutral) effect on the body. For example,

dried ginger has Hot thermal energy. It has a very warming effect on

the body. In fact, dried ginger is classified under " Herbs That Warm

the Interior " .

 

" Examples of warm foods are meat, ginger and pepper. Examples of cold

foods are all raw foods (salads), fruit (with few exceptions),

vegetables and icy-cold drinks. " (Giovanni Maciocia, The Foundations of

, 1st. ed., p.242.)

 

Eating too little or eating too much can weaken the Spleen. Eating " on

the run " , eating when upset, and eating at irregular times also can

weaken the Spleen. Too much sugar in the diet can damage the Spleen.

 

Too much worrying can weaken the Spleen. " The excessive use of the mind

in thinking, studying, concentrating and memorizing over a long period

of time tends to weaken the Spleen. This also includes excessive

pensiveness and constant 'brooding'. " (p. 241.)

 

Not getting enough rest and pushing on regardless of how tired one is

can weaken the Spleen. Especially if this goes on for a long time.

 

No food or type of food should be eaten in excess. For example, if a

person consumes too many foods and herbs with warming thermal energy,

this can cause a person to become too Hot. Being too Hot causes a

different set of problems.

 

There are herbs called Qi Tonic Herbs which will supplement Qi in the

body and some of which will strengthen the Spleen. But these are never

prescribed without the healer also checking to see if the person has Qi

Stagnation. If Qi Stagnation also is present, an herb which moves Qi

also will need to be taken. Otherwise the extra Qi will Stagnate and

worsen the Stagnation problems. (But if Qi Stagnation is not present,

one does not want to take an herb that moves Qi. Doing this could

create other problems.)

 

One of the safest and most Spleen-strengthening (and Stomach

strengthening) of the points is Stomach-35, aka Three Mile Point (or

Three Li Point). This is a point that a lot of people use acupressure

on in order to strenghten their Spleen and Stomach, aid digestion, and

increase energy.

 

Hope this helps.

Hello Victoria Dragon,

It helps a lot. Thank you very much.

Can I take both, herbs that move Qi and herbs that increase Qi?

Or they are not compatible?

It's best to take only the herbs one needs. Every herb has

contraindications, and these too need to be kept in mind.

 

I recommend seeing a professional who will diagnose and treat all TCM

imbalances at the same time and monitor your progress in order to

change the formula as the clinical picture changes.

 

BTW, it's fairly common for a person to need both types of herbs.

Sometimes a person needs one or the other, but sometimes both. So they

can be taken together. BUT you don't want to take something you don't

need because it could create other problems for you.

Thank you Victoria.

I understand you very deeply. You are quite right.

On the other hand...

If there is stagnation, it means that I need. Since I am studing it...

waht a great oportunity to try the herbs with myself!

Otherwise, how could I recomend or order something wich I do not know

by experience? It feels like using others to my own knowledge...

....or, at least not being sure of the effects. Maybe this, perhaps

that, could it be the other....

I believe TCM is based on experience and not hipotesis-deduction.

And, even if you trust in books (wich is correct indeed), once you

experience by yourself, the subject becomes even all the more clear

and there is no doubt about it, whatsoever.

Of course I won't take one tone of herbs at once, rather, try with

smalls amounts, little by little.

 

If you know the combinations, I'll be glad to read it.

 

Another thing, do you know a web where one can find the points of

the meridians, clearly explained and in detail? Bc in some books it

is not clear and the definitions and location of the points is very

scientific.

 

Thank you very much.

I believe a lot of practioners feel for the points by sensing them,

but an excellent site with clear diagrams is http://www.acuxo.com
