The Western World is starting to investigate Chinese herbal medicines as a potential form of treatment much more closely. The history of Chinese herbal medicine with written records dating back over 2000 years is among the oldest in the world. Of course, pre-historic treatments for Chinese herbal medicine need to go much further. The aim has always been to restore the whole body as a whole, not only to treat the symptoms, but to cure the disease’s origin. This is called the care of the branch but the recovery of the heart.
To order to restore this balance, traditional Chinese herbal medicine uses one or more hundreds of different herbal supplements, acupuncture and massage, along with a combination of meditative and physical exercises to better restore the Qi of the person, balance the yin and yang of the person, and their wellbeing along with it.
We have long believed in the Western World that the science of Chinese herbal medicine is more charlatan than the true practice of medicine. The researchers have spent several years and billions of dollars to demonstrate that herbal cures are unworkable traditional medicine.
Research has only begun to take a second look in recent years and to reconsider its stance on the use of many of these ancient Chinese herbal remedies. All the herbs used in the Chinese herbal Materia Medica have been scientifically examined today, and we now know the chemical composition of these herbs, telling us from a scientific perspective how they actually help cure diseases. In fact, in numerous clinical trials, ALL of the Chinese herbal remedies used in the West have been reported, showing positive results.
We just need to look at the Chinese’s longevity to see that much of their experience is focused on thousands of years of practice and that Chinese herbal medicine actually helps to relieve the symptoms of many illnesses and diseases.
Modern science no longer turns a blind eye to this past and continues to consider the possibilities, with some incredible results for countless numbers of people.
