GV26 is probably the most powerful point to increase brain

perfusion and activate the respiratory centre.

 

I would add GB20 and massage [foot roller balls] at KI01 to

increase the effect.

Hello Phil, what you have replied to Bobby sounds very logical, at

least in respect to the points that you suggest. Alas, in reality it

doesn't work... Self stimulation of these (and other) points will

usually NOT increase your ability to stay awake and alert for a long

time. (despite the niceliness of using Renzhong in order to

stimulate the brain - which would still resuscitate from syncope if

applied correctly).

Nonetheless, the use of herbs may do the job. A strong tea, green or

otherwise, may, to some extent, substitute for coffee. Chewing Gath

(the Yemenite national herbal stimulant) may do the job even better,

and there are other herbal stimulants. Drinking strong tea contains

an equal amount (or even higher) of caffeine, still it won't do the

same job as coffee does. Not that I recommend coffee drinking as a

habit, not at all.

BTW, I wonder if you know why Chinese medicine doctors usually are

against coffee drinking but not at all against tea drinking ?

It is apparently NOT the caffeine, what then?

Just a stimulating question...

We always be told the drink the cold tea (cooling properties herb) after eat the deep fries food. Which to balance the imbalance after having hot property food. The method to prepare the food changes the nature of property. Just like the gan cao from detoxify property roasted with honey. it become tonify property. I think this happen to tea and coffee.joeacumedico <halevis wrote:

No, this is not the right answer Joe. How about cold coffee then? It

Has the same faults as hot coffee whilst hot tea is recommended just

as cold tea. BTW, no one in China drinks cold tea... ;-)

The cold tea, we call it ( len cao) which is very common on the street of Hong Kong. It brews from Ju hua (chrysanthemum) or Jin ying hua ¡K, which have cooling property. I am not mean drink it cold or hot. Deep fry’s food is the way that foods being prepared that make it become in hot property. The raw coffee bean going through process of deep heat roasting also change it ways of behave. The normal tea we drink may not going that discomfort process.

I just speculate it, don’t take serious.
