Chinese medicines guide
China has made significant contributions in the field of
medicine and cure. There are many remedies that originated in
China and have proved to be of great help in healing people
across the world. According to the people of China, there is a
universal life force or energy called "chi" or "qi" that
pervades the entire human body. The "chi" flows via unseen
energy channels known as meridians. As long as the flow of chi
is smooth and unobstructed, the individual remains fit and
healthy. But the moment there are irregularities in the
circulation of chi, health of the person receives a setback. So
in order to remain healthy, consistency in the current of chi
should be maintained.
To have a sustainable flow of chi, Chinese medical philosophers
devised several ways. Some of the best and eminent techniques
are listed in this article.
· The flow of chi can be systematized by pinching small needles
in the human body at specific points. This treatment or
technique was termed as acupuncture. The basic principle behind
acupuncture is to open the blockages to have a constant flow of
energy throughout the body. The acupuncture needles are meant to
puncture or open the points known as acupuncture points. This
treatment primarily affects the nervous system of the
individual. It helps in secreting some crucial hormones and
other chemicals that are not adequately produced but are
required by the body. Many diseases like asthma, problems in
vision, paralysis, alopecia etc. find acupuncture a satisfying
and good remedy. The diseases might not be completely eliminated
but they are definitely controlled through the Chinese developed
acupuncture therapy. The best point of acupuncture is that it
has no side-effects, its harmless to go for it
· Chinese
traditional herbal remedies are meant for hypertension
and other cardiac problems. In case of hypertension a mixture of
hawthorn, linden blossom, yarrow and valerian is given. The
yarrow here is a diuretic while the rest act as relaxing agents.
The hypertension with headache is treated with an additional
wood betony while stress involves the usage of Siberian ginseng
and skullcap.
· Arthritis and Inflammation also find a good treatment in
Chinese herbs. Medicines like shosaikoto, sinomenium acutum and
scutellaria baicalensis are found to be tremendously effective
in this area.
· Chinese doctors have always emphasized the importance of
exercise. They also worked out a special method or style of
exercising. This method was named as 'qigong'. Qigong is deemed
to bi-function as a fitness developing and enhancing scheme and
also as a springboard for superior martial arts. A set of qigong
exercises has acted as perfect medicine in many cases.
· The Chinese herbs have something to offer in case of common
cold, flu, fever and influenza etc. Astragalus belongs to the
pea family and is found to stabilize the immune system.
Schisandra vine functions in multiple ways like in preventing
diarrhea, cough, stress, aids in producing of fluids by the
body. Echinacea is beat in averting cold or flu. It is a purple
colored coneflower that stimulates the production of infection
resistant white blood cells in the body.
This however is not all. Chinese herbs and other remedies like
exercises have a record-breaking significance in human life.
They have largely contributed to the maintenance of a perfect
health.
