Why Chinese Herbal Medicine?
Ancient Chinese proverb: FOOD IS MEDICINE
For
many millennium humans have forged for and eaten herbs. Herbal Medicine
is still the number one type of medicine in the world today.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has been in continuous documented use for
more than two thousand years, there is anecdotal and archeological
evidence of its use for as many as 5 – 7000 years. For thousands of
years, humans have eaten pretty much the same foods, and herbs were a
main stay of the human diet.
In America and
the west, in the last 50+ years our civilization, culture and
especially our DIETS’ have under gone revolutionary changes
particularly to our eating, food production and health care systems.
Not totally for the betterment of the individual or society.
Americans
in general are very sick. Our health care system has developed into a
sick care system. With all our technological advances and fast paced
lifestyle, our diet is perhaps the most unhealthy of all civilizations
in recorded history, the missing ingredient in our modern diet and the
key to improved health are HERBS. (Medicinal Whole food from the earth)
Herbs
prescribed according to Chinese Medicine work to improve and strengthen
both the symptoms and the root cause of the issues being addressed. By
naturally restoring the body’s health and function a person can avoid
the need to supplement or replace nutrients because the body functions
have been brought into balance naturally.
With
centuries of experience traditional Chinese herbal medicine can vastly,
over time, improve one’s health, quality of life, and help us prevent
disease, manage and cope with our modern ever changing lifestyles.
Chinese Herbal Medicine is truly ancient wisdom and knowledge that shows us how to heal using, whole foods from the earth, in a way to maintain and restore our health naturally.
