Alternative Healing Chinese Medicine And Herbal Remedies

Posted in Alternative on May 10th, 2012 by admin – Comments Off

The basis behind alternative herbal remedies is to combine a series of herbs in order to bring about the desired effect.  Commonly, there will be a formula of four herbs used in combination and harmony with each other.  This is done in order to treat secondary illnesses that may have been affected by the primary illness.  This also helps to balance and strengthen the body while it is healing.

As Chinese medicine begins to divide the various natural herbal remedies, they will do so by a hierarchy.  On the top of this hierarchy is the emperor herb.  This will be used to cure the major illness that is taking place.  Beneath this is the ‘ministers’ of the alternative herbal remedy.  This is used to treat any secondary illnesses that are taking place.  After this, herbal ‘assistants’ will be used to support the other two herbs.  The last set of herbs will be the messenger herbs, which will tell the primary and secondary herbs where to go and how much of an effect to take on the body.

Acupuncture and Moxibustion Treatment’s

Posted in Acupuncture on March 28th, 2012 by admin – Comments Off

Acupuncture and Moxibustion is a medical treatment that has been practiced for thousands of years in China and other Asian countries as well as now around the world. It is used as a means of treating and preventing disease. Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into specific sites (acupuncture points) along the body’s meridians to clear energy blockages and encourage the normal flow of energy (Qi) through the individual. The general theory of acupuncture is based on the premise that there are patterns of energy flow (Qi) through the body that are essential for health. Disruptions of this flow are believed to be responsible for disease. Acupuncture corrects imbalances of flow at identifiable points close to the skin.Today, acupuncture is an effective, natural and increasingly popular form of health care that is used by people whole over the world.

The modern scientific explanation about the effectiveness of Acupuncture treatment is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain, including endorphins, enkephalins and other neurotransmitters. Either these chemicals will change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones that influence the body’s own internal regulating system, bringing about a normalizing effect on neuroendocrine function. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well-being.
