“Chinese herbal medicine is part of a larger healing system called Traditional Chinese Medicine. Herbs are prescribed to restore balance to the opposing forces of energy, Yin and Yang. Disorders that may be treated include digestive problems, eczema and psoriasis, fatigue, gynaecological disorders and stress.”
A lot can be said for alternative medicines. In my personal experience I’ve had more success with alternative medicines than with western medicines. There’s always other options and I’m glad that I continue to look for them where my health’s concerned. Here’s something I found I thought I’d share with you. “The underlying principles of TCM are very different from traditional Western notions about health, illness and the workings of the body. Chinese herbs are prescribed to normalise imbalanced energy, or Qi (pronounced ‘chee’), that runs through invisible meridians in the body. Whether or not the philosophy is believed, studies have shown Chinese herbal medicines to be successful in treating a range of disorders, particularly gynaecological and gastrointestinal disorders.” ~ Better Health Channel Victoria I mean, did you know that more than three million Australians visit Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) every year, I didn’t until today. So they’re obviously doing something right, right.
Just look at love for example. We all know that it exists, but how do you prove it? You can’t. It’s not a physical object that you can test or study. But we all know it exists. There’s no right or wrong way here there’s just options. I’m not ignorant like some sceptics out there so I endeavour to keep and open mind and live by the policy that I’ll try anything once (within reason of course).
Our skin is our largest organ, so it’s important that we look after it. Each day I’m experiencing less and less itching and it isn’t as noticeably dry either. It’s healing up slowly and there hasn’t been as many new outbreaks which is a blessing.
So I’ll stick with the Chinese Herbs & Acupuncture and let it run its course. I’ll update again a little further down the track of this process.
