Traditional Chinese Medicine and Herbal Blends
The fundamental difference between modern medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is aptly expressed by the following words: "While modern medicine treats the symptoms of diseases, Traditional Chinese Medicine focuses on maintaining health!"
It is said that history is the teacher of wisdom. It is therefore necessary to respect what has lasted for thousands of years, where the cradle of medicine is – Traditional Chinese Medicine. According to TCM, the life force or energy that flows through our body is called Qi (Chi). Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on a simple principle: The body is healthy if its energy is in balance of YIN and YANG.
Everything that exists can be attributed, according to Eastern philosophy, to two opposing but complementary principles – the flow of energy – YIN or the "dark side of the mountain" and YANG or the "bright side of the mountain" (YIN is guarded by a white tiger and YANG is guarded by a green dragon). A Chinese Taoist sees in YIN a more flexible, passive, receptive female perspective on the world, and in YANG a more active, penetrating, dominant male perspective.
The human body is healthy if these energies are in balance. If this balance is disturbed, health problems occur. Tonics contained in authentic Chinese herbs have an important influence on achieving or maintaining this balance in TCM. Tonics in Chinese herbs will not help relieve your pain as quickly and instantly as a steroid drug, but they can do so slowly and in a different way, hitherto unknown to many people.
High-quality herbal blends containing tonics that follow the principles of traditional Chinese medicine behave similarly to vitamins and minerals – they act slowly and normalize the functions of your body. They maintain the balance of YIN and YANG and thus maintain your constant health.
And most importantly? They have no side effects and therefore do not cause further health problems like most modern drugs and many herbs used in Western countries, which are intended for short-term treatment of a specific disease. Moreover, these high-quality Chinese herbal blends have been safely used for over 3000 years as true nutritional supplements. On the other hand, many drugs intended for the treatment of specific diseases do not have such testing over a long period of use at all. Especially if they are used in a pure chemical form deprived of the properties of the original herbs from which they were prepared.
