What is Chinese Medicine?
Posted by 1st Chinese Herbs on Jun 3rd 2016
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used for thousands of years. Chinese herbs have been used for treating various illnesses and restoring normal body functions. Time has proven their effectiveness. Most people look to Chinese herbs to improve their overall well being or heath, increase their sexual vitality, and help them live longer. Another reason people turn to natural remedies is the low risks. Compared to manufactured pharmaceutical drugs, herbs have very few and less adverse side effects.
But what really makes Chinese medicine different from traditional medicine is the philosophy behind it. Traditional medicine looks at the symptoms and treats only those, while Chinese medicine considers the whole body plus the symptoms. It promotes whole health which is represented by the balance of yin and yang. These are the two forces that represent the bipolar manifestation of all things in nature. Health is a balance of these two forces. Oriental medicine physicians look at symptoms along the diagnostic methods plus they look for patterns of disharmony. Each of the body’s systems must be in balance with themselves as well as in balance with the body as a whole. In the Oriental medicine a doctor strives to re-establish this balance. This has proven to be an effective method, because in oriental medicine it is custom that the doctor is paid when the patient is well, not sick.
Think about this! How good do you think you will feel when you are in balance? The saying goes "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Stay healthy all year! Savor every season:
- Enjoy Spring's fresh fragrant blossoms!
- Delight in Summer's freshly cut grass!
- Enjoy Fall's crisp air and the smell of fallen leaves!
- Refresh yourself with Winter’s wonderful snow and clean cold air!
It’s easy to stay healthy and enjoy life when you use herbs correctly! Herbs have a synergistic influence, their individual properties combine to create a different or more powerful effect than if they are taken individually. When herbs are combined in the right formulas and strengths they can offer more potent therapeutic health benefits that are safer than pharmaceutical drugs.
