Good Health and Natural Herbs
Chinese Medical Ideas about Health and Herbs
1) Flow of qi and blood (energy, fluid, and food)
The free flow of qi and blood nourishes us, cleans us, and heals us. Constraints or obstructions to this free flow may appear as pain or physical or mental illness. Poor movement of qi or blood also inhibits healing and can result in emotional imbalances. There are Chinese herbs that move qi, and there are Chinese herbs that move blood.
2) Balance of Yin and Yang (hot /cold, damp/dry, etc.)
Harmony in life and thought help to create harmony in the body. There are herbs to build yin and there are herbs to build yang.
These healing herbs can help maintain flow and balance. If the mind/ body is out of balance, the disharmony can be adjusted with the aid of Chinese herbs or Chinese herbal medicines. Though Chinese herbs are usually used in formulas containing several or many herbs, the following herbs can be used alone or in combination with each other.
