HERBS FOR ENERGY
Herbal Consultation by E-Mail
Chinese Medicine is About Energy.
QI, CHI, KI
Qi creates motion and heat. Only qi creates motion and heat.
Qi activates. It makes the muscles contract, the heart beat, and the blood flow. Qi regulates, by its flow, every gland and organ.
Qi flows mainly along the channels.If qi is abundant and flowing, your body is healthy.
Qi moves the blood, and blood is mother to the qi.
THE BLOOD
Blood feeds and blood cleans. It carries nourishment to every cell. At the same time, toxic cell excrement is diluted and carried away by the blood. If the blood is weak, we starve. If its movement is insufficient, we wallow in our wastes.
The bood is parent to the qi. If the blood is weak, the qi is weak.
Qi and blood are inseperable.
TREATING ENERGY PROBLEMS WITH HERBS AND ACUPUNCTURE
Curing symptoms of malaise, tiredness, fatigue, or exhaustion requires an accurate diagnosis of the underlying disharmonies - including those of qi and blood. This has been the focus of Traditional Chinese medicne (TCM) for thousands of years. TCM is now gaining acceptance in the West and available to many people.
