Interesting differences between Chinese and Western ideas concerning emotions/body and health.
Chinese Medicine

Five Emotions: anger, joy, sorrow, fear and rumination, as well as others, and explains their significance to the practitioner. "The body-mind is not a pyramid, but a circle of interaction between the Internal Organs and their emotional aspects. Whereas Western Medicine tends to consider the influence of emotions on the organs as having a secondary or excitatory role rather than being a primary causative factor of disease, Chinese Medicine sees the emotions as an integral and inseparable part of the sphere of action of the Internal Organs.... Since the body and mind form an integrated inseparable unit, the emotions can not only cause a disharmony, but they can also be caused by it"

Anger, according to tradition, affects the liver; rumination taxes the spleen; sorrow depletes the lungs; excessive joy affects the heart, and fear affects the kidneys.

Day 2 of Chinese Herbs

These are photos of my Chinese herbs.

I have been given 4 days worth.
My cost was 6.00 per bag or per day, for a total of $24.00.


My herbs cooking.
The recipe is as follows:
Pour 4 cups ( as in coffee cup) into a pan, add herbs, Boil, then simmer for an hour.
( reducing liquid to 1 cup)
Drink the one cup.
(after dinner, or one hour before sleep)
Any leftover can be used for breakfast.


Cooking of herbs.
This smells like a very strong vegetable soup.
That is what it tastes like to me.


My cup of Chinese herbs, served with a small treat to make taste buds," taste," better.



Hmm. What to do with these leftover herbs?
Too good, too gold, to throw away.
I add water, boil, reduce, and use for breakfast.

Comment with an address, or e-mail me through my blog profile.

What are the causes of Disease?



What is the secret of the Chinese life order that is so remarkable for its longevity and health?

The journalist wanted to study her own experience in China to give an answer to the question. In a couple of weeks after coming to China Muscovites felt wonderfully, the cheeks were blushing while some time before they seemed to be faded away in Moscow's haste; wrinkles became smoothed out and people hardly recollected their own diseases.

What is the secret of the Chinese life order that is so remarkable for its longevity and health?
In China, a person of any age feels he is needed in the family and in the society in general.

Till the extreme old age Chinese keep lucid minds and keen memory. They are extremely kind and quiet with respect to each other. In China, people at the age of 60-70 are not old indeed.

Correct nutrition means regular meals; Chinese take meals every four hours. While having meals they disregard any other problems.





The main forms of modern TCM can be traced back 2,500 years: in particular, the concept of Yin and Yang, which forms the basic idea behind I Ching - the Book of Change. From Yin and Yang comes a belief that health requires a constant adaptation to circumstances, and that illness is the consequence of an inability to change. From this comes the idea of a free-flowing energy of life Qi (pronounced Tchee!) which is in living people but cannot (as yet!) be pinpointed in the laboratory. Qi requires a living body to manifest itself, and a means to form and nourish that body: Xue (Chway) or 'Blood'. From the interaction of these four ideas, Yin, Yang, Qi and Xue comes much of our understanding of health according to TCM

Chinese Medicine...What If?


See a Chinese Doctor, they take your pulse, give you herbs bad you get well




Research Chinese Herbs


Tonight I was eating at a Chinese restaurant., and I began talking with the owner, a wonderful friendly Chinese woman. We were talking about China, and suddenly I found myself telling her what my friend had said about Chinese medicine healing you.. "oh yes, " she answered. I was very sick from stress, was very unhappy, very sad, depressed, (Taboo words for Americans today) I saw my doctor, he took my pulse, looked at my tongue and he doesn't charge for this, he only charges a small amount for herbs. It tastes awful, you boil and strain, drink it, I got well. It cost me $12.00.
