CHINESE HERBAL ENERGISERS FOR SPORTS AND EVERYDAY'S LIFE

What factors were behind the recent huge results of Chinese sportsmen?

Some of them are obvious – enormous population pool to choose from the most talented athletes, a strong and methodical system of finding and rigorously training kids as young as 4 years old at special governmental and private sport schools. We can add another less known factor – the usage of the ancient Chinese herbs and herbal formulas.

Due to the fact, that the usage of the absolute majority of the steroids and other banned substances are strictly controlled, many Chinese sportsmen in different sports have been using ancient Chinese formulas and herbs for strength, speed, stamina, energy, concentration, to ease the muscle pain, to increase the level of oxygen in the muscles, to recuperate completely, to heal the sport-related injuries faster.

There are many American “natural herbal” supplements available too. Unfortunately, most are manufactured by companies that have little, if any, concept on how or why herbs should be used and combined. The result of marketing herbal products without knowledge has given a lot of bad press to the legitimate herbal industry. An example of lack of herbal knowledge in manufacturing can be seen in companies that market Ma-huang (ephedra) combined with guarana. This combination has been shown to have serious side-effects like high blood pressure, palpitation, sleep problems and should be avoided.

The excessive amount of caffeine and sugar in many modern energizing formulations will bring the same harm. Very soon it will result in kidney and liver damage, sexual disfunctions, as well as multiple muscles, tendons, ligaments injuries, which you can see in many of the baseball, football players, cyclists, weightlifters, bodybuilders and other steroids users.

Looking for a modern equivalent would lead you to steroids. There is no doubt that steroids are powerful but where does their power come from?From the perspective of Chinese medicine, steroids rob the Qi energy of the kidneys, spleen, heart, and liver. The strength of the internal organs is transferred to the large muscles. Thus, the negative effects of long-term steroid use observed by Western clinicians are due, according to Chinese medicine, to the weakening of the energy (Qi) of the internal organs.

According to Chinese medicine, the root of the body’s strength resides in its kidney function. One herbal supplement that gives consistent results to athletes is Ginseng Seeds – a well-balanced formula, so the herbs long-term effects help increase the performance potential derived from inner strength gained by the organs, muscles, and nerves. It’s been used for centuries by the Shaolin monks, martial artists of different styles, by Samurai and Ninja worriers, soldiers, travelers, alpinists, world and Olympic level sportsmen.

Those who use this formula find they can go the extra distance during intense workouts or competitions, feel more energy and keep it over long periods of time. However, it doesn’t leave you feeling depleted or run-down by any after-effects. The herbs in formula nourish the basic activating qualities that give drive and movement to life. They also help to strengthen a person’s will, breaking through the emotional restrictions from lack of assertiveness, or fear.

What is even more amazing about Ginseng seeds, they start working very fast – 20-30 min after taking them.That is why it can be taken right before the competition, training, or by you if you are tired but need to go to the important meeting, show, party or test. You will feel the steady flow of energy for 6-7 hours, nice concentration, sharpness and awareness without any side effects, feeling jittery or having problems with sleeping.

In contrast to steroids, Ginseng seeds formula nourishes the Qi energy of the internal organs in the kidney meridian, filling them with enduring energy and helping them to function at peak levels. It is stronger than steroids and vitamins when the overall structure of the body is taken into account. The herbs go directly to the main bodily organs and fill them with long-lasting energy, enabling them to function at peak levels. It is well balanced, so its extended effects are increased performance potential built on long-term strength in the organs, muscles, and nerves.

Along with the Ginseng Seeds the other herbal formulas energize the kidney functions. They nourish and replenish your body’s Qi energy batteries that are absolutely essential for any organ and its normal functioning, from keeping the body’s temperature normal to the strength of the immune system.

LOOSING WEIGHT WITH ACUPUNCTURE

If you’ve tried calorie counting and exercise to lose weight,
with disappointing results, acupuncture may be the missing link.
According to a 2014 study by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, 34 percent of U.S. adults are overweight and
an equal number of U.S. adults are obese. More Americans are
turning to alternative resources to help achieve their health goals.

With so many Americans trying to lose unwanted pounds,
the efficacy of acupuncture for weight loss has been more
closely studied in recent years.

Research

In a 2013 study reported in the journal “Medical Acupuncture,”
a group of thirty adults following a reduced-calorie diet combined
with exercise was compared with another group where acupuncture
was also added.

Researchers found that the group which received acupuncture
in addition to the calorie reduction and exercise lost
an average of 10.6 pounds, while the group without acupuncture
lost an average of 5.3 pounds. The study concluded that while
more research on the effectiveness of acupuncture in weight
loss needs to be done, the results were very promising.

History

The practice of acupuncture dates back over 2000 years,
but auricular acupuncture, or ear acupuncture, is a more current modality.

Treatment

For a weight loss treatment, an acupuncturist will select points that will help
control the desire to eat and the level of hunger the patient experiences.
The most popular points used are shen men, a functional point used for reducing stress, the small intestine point, which aids in digestion, the mouth, which helps the urge to overeat, the hunger point, a functional control
point, and the endocrine point, which aids the metabolism. These
points are stimulated using needles, ear tacks or ear seeds to achieve the desired effect. The treatment may last between 20 and 45 minutes.

After the treatment, the acupuncturist may choose to insert ear
tacks or seeds that remain in the ear for several days.
This ensures that the points will continually be stimulated until the next treatment. Ear tacks, or semi-permanent needles, do not need
to be stimulated by the patient. Ear seeds, however, are taped onto
the ear and must be pressed on by the patient manually at 10-second
intervals as needed for cravings.

Safety

Acupuncture needles, when used correctly and by a qualified
practitioner are safe and have minimal risks. The government
regulates proper use of acupuncture needles, including semi- permanent needles. Practitioners must use needles that are sterile and single-use only.
Acupuncture needles are only to be sold to and used by qualified individuals.
Self-administered acupuncture is not recommended for safety reasons; improper use can result in injury and infection.

Considerations

Ask doctor Li if a weight loss plan that includes acupuncture is right for you.
Talk about a healthy weight loss plan, which includes balanced eating and exercise.
Doctor Li will tell you how many treatments you will need,depending on your goals.
Remember, acupuncture is not a substitute for the medical care provided by your primary physician.

Doctor Qiqing Li is ready to prescribe the best weight loss plan for you.

Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture are easily the most highly evolved medical systems in the world. Its immense scale of experience spans countless trillions of administrations over thousands of years. Its pharmacopoeia includes over 10,000 natural substances; vegetable, animal, and mineral.

THE HERBS AND ACUPUNCTURE ARE SAFE, NON-ADDICTIVE and WILL NOT REACT NEGATIVELY WITH ANY DRUGS OR VITAMINS/SUPPLEMENTS.

EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS: Panic, Anxiety, Depression.

In China before the mid- twentieth century, all mental illnesses were treated pretty much exclusively with herbal medicine. Since doctors and hospitals keep records, there is plenty of historical evidence suggesting that such treatments were often successful. Perhaps the best evidence is the famous Fog Tea of Tianmu Mountain, which, after the o***m war, helped free millions of Chinese people from o***m addiction. Some of us believe that the Chinese herbal psychiatric drugs of the 19th century were at least as effective as whatever European or American doctors were prescribing at that time.

This may still be true today. Despite obvious advancements in the Western pharmacy, we believe that Chinese herbs can still help sufferers of mental disorders by complementing any modern day prescription or therapy. THE HERBS ARE SAFE, NON-ADDICTIVE and like a food, won’t react negatively with any psychiatric drug.

Psychiatry never really took root in China where the culture never emphasized individuality. Spending large sums of money on personal improvement is a foreign idea and would be considered a kind of vanity. Even today, despite the deluge of Western ideas and money, you’ll find only a handful of psychiatrists in the Beijing phone book.

Not a substitute for modern drugs or counseling, these medicines can still be a valuable tool in the hands of any knowledgeable practitioner or counselor.

To practitioners of TCM, most any mental disease is, first of all, a sign of poor flow or bad balance. Phobia, paranoia, schizophrenia, depression, insomnia, etc. are symptoms of disharmony or congestion, not separate diseases in themselves. Healing these symptoms requires normalizing flow or restoring balance in the life of those afflicted. Herbal medicine and acupuncture can help immensely.

Western medicine treats depression and anxiety as symptoms of abnormal brain chemistry. By altering the neural chemistry, modern drugs mimic our sense of normalcy and, to a certain extent, can be effective in the management of mental illness. The problem is - THEY ARE ADDICTIVE AND OFTEN SHOULD BE TAKEN FOR LIFE. The Chinese herbal formulas and acupuncture will do the same much safer and faster.

All these disorders are actually qi disorders, and therefore physical. That’s why some of the most effective ways to relieve do not involve talking or counseling. Depression and anxiety can be instantly relieved by vigorously moving the qi of the chest. Push-ups work as well as Prozac. More relief can come from boxing, breathing exercises, yoga techniques, massage, and forceful crying and wailing, all of which can release the qi of the chest.

Herbs can be ingested as boiled teas called decoctions (tang), milled or granulated powders (san), pills (pian), tablets (wan), or tinctured extracts (gin). Let doctor Qiqing Li to choose the right formula/ herbal pills or acupuncture for your case!

For many people spring and summer are SEASONS FOR ALLERGIES.

Allergies, or allergic rhinitis, are due to an over-reactivity of the immune system to certain allergens. During spring and summer, allergies are generally induced by wind-born tree, grass or w**d pollen, and can cause such symptoms as: sneezing; nasal congestion; runny nose; watery, itchy, or red eyes; headaches; fatigue; and sometimes coughing and wheezing. When allergens and antibodies react in individuals with allergic rhinitis, their nasal mucosa becomes swollen and may obstruct drainage from the sinuses causing sinusitis in many people.

Thus, sinus infections are a frequent complication and consequence of allergic rhinitis.Chinese medicine can help bring relief of symptoms, correct imbalances of the immune system, prevent the occurrence of infection, and allow healing of tissues of the sinuses.

With herbs and acupuncture, we clear the Wind, reduce congestion, and open the nasal passages. It is necessary to treat both the root and the manifestation in order to produce lasting results. Chinese medicine offers allergy sufferers a way to strengthen their bodies and significantly reduce their symptoms, without unpleasant side effects. You do not have to spend another season suffering allergies.

HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY AND CHINESE HERBS
What’s a woman to do?
http://chineseherbaladviser.com/wp1/2011/10/chinese-herbs-instead-of-hormone-replacement-therapy/

TimeMagazine reported (July 22, 2002) that the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study has shown for the first time that taking estrogen and progestin together for more than a few years increases a woman’s risk of developing potentially deadly cardiovascular problems and invasive breast cancer among other things. Thousands of women have been prescribed these hormones for menopausal complaints.


While the study indicates that these hormones still may be safe for short-term relief of menopausal symptoms, long term use is no longer recommended.
