This is one of the most common questions Americans ask about
Chinese Medicine, and not an easy one to answer. Qi (pronounced
"chee" and sometimes spelled 'chi') is possibly the most
essential and the most controversial aspect of Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM). Biomedicine often feels it can quite

Arthritis is one of the most common chronic diseases in the
world. According to Ayurveda arthritis is primarily a vata (air)

Antibiotic overuse (especially for the common cold) has led to
antibiotic resistance. Natural antibiotics and anti viral herbs
that may boost immune system are discussed, plus the types of
cold and flu, and cough and cold in a weak immune system.
Most people don't realize that western biomedical understanding
didn't include the immune system until very recently. The first
vaccine was developed in the late 1800's, and most of the immune
system was not understood until the 1960's. Oriental ...

Twenty-one year old Lydia Garcia faces an imminent dilemma-
poverty or acne. Lydia religiously uses three herbs to keep her
skin clear and she's always on the prowl for supplements to

ponders, 'I think I want to take dandelion root and ginseng to
ease my menstrual cramps.' Yet Lydia's salary as a receptionist
barely covers her fanatical consumption of supplements.
You don't ...

The adrenal or 'stress glands' are small, triangular shaped
glands located on the top of the kidneys. Their function is to
prepare the body's resources to run or fight through the
releasing of specific hormones. When this primitive, instinctive
response is activated, blood is diverted from digestive system
while our blood pressure, pulse, blood sugar levels increase. At
the same time, our pupils dilate and the speed of reflexes
increases. All of this happens as a way to ensure our survival.

Negative drug-herb interactions (side effects as the result of
taking drugs and herbs at the same time) have been over-hyped
because of fear, lack of knowledge and sheer speculation.
Although there are some negative interactions, research has also
discovered positive interactions between drugs and herbal
formulas.
Drug-drug interactions are a much more serious problem than
either herb-drug or herb-herb interactions. This is because
drugs are high doses of single, active, unstable ...
