The Beginnings Of Traditional Chinese Medicine
The foundations of many holistic practices are the philosophies and ideals that come from Chinese medicine. Alternative and natural healing are based on concepts and philosophies of an ancient science and from the beginnings of this practice there has been a growth in natural methods to help promote healing and balance. Herbal remedies that were most significant in helping with holistic healing were first recorded in 800 BC in a book known as the "Huang Di Nei Jeng" or "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine." The origins of Chinese medicine as a practice come from this year even though the practice began before this. .
You are what you eat? Maybe
When I lived in Taiwan over 50 years ago, a young Chinese doctor asked if he could borrow the "V" volume of my World Book Encyclopedia. He was to address the local medical society on the subject of vitamins, and the encyclopedia was his source. In "The Hundred-Year Lie: How to Protect Yourself from the Chemicals that are Destroying Your Health," Randall Fitzgerald writes that the "traditional systems of medicine from India and China have developed over 4,000 years of knowledge based on trial-and-error testing of millions of people in the longest and most widespread clinical trial tests of plant based healing in human history." Fitzgerald, who has written investigative pieces for The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post, would have told my Chinese doctor friend that the natural vitamins dispensed by his ancestors were far more effective than the synthetic vitamins of modern times.
Chinese shrub gives best cure for deadly malaria
Beijing.– If it wasn't for the fresh, sharp scent, you could easily mistake Sweet Wormwood for any other kind of shrub. But this shrub, also called the Artemisia annua, is widely regarded by medical experts as the best cure for malaria, one of the world's leading killer diseases. It was here in Luofushan in China's southern Guangdong province that the shrub with fern-like leaves first found its way into Chinese medical annals more than 1,600 years ago. No one knows how the Chinese discovered the shrub's life-saving properties, but it was doctor Ge Hong (283-363 AD) who first wrote about it in his Book of Emergency Medicine when he served as a Taoist priest in this mountainous region. "Taoist priests were obsessed with the idea of elixirs. Ge Hong never found any elixir, but he discovered many herbal drugs, and he was the first to record the properties of artemisinin," said Zhang Shaoping of Guangdong New South Group Co.
