Chinese Diet Tea

Image
Chinese diet tea is one of popular natural ways for weight loss these days. When it comes to Chinese diet teas, the list of green tea, oolong tea or Wu Long tea, pu erh tea, and Wu Yi tea and so on would just comes to minds for many people. However, to see from the perspective of Traditional Chinese medicine , they are far from the diet teas that work for all although the oolong tea benefits and pu erh tea benefits are obvious on burning fat in many cases. The authetic and best diet tea should be the one that is pinpointing the specific situation and constitution. Otherwise, if the wrong diet Chinese tea is chosen, it is very likely that the digestive and excretory abilities would be influenced due to excessive diarrhea. Therefore, the overall health would be harmed, let alone achieve the ultimate goal of weight loss. Idea about Chinese diet tea Chinese herbs are deemed to be used for both medicinal and edible purposes traditionally. Some tonic herbs with mild quality have been widely ...

Visit to New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic

Image
Image via CrunchBase Matt Gross, NY Times Blogger for "Frugal Traveler" writes about his visit to NYCTCM Acupuncture Clinic in Manhattan. "As the needle went into my skin, somewhere between the two biggest toes on my left foot, I felt an almost electrical jolt--my metatarsal bones pulsed with energy, like a muscle cramp but completely painless. It was as if my entire foot were a neon sign that had never been switched on before. "Wow," I think I said, and the four people in white lab coats observing me hurried to ask if I was okay. Was it a burning pain? No. Was it subsiding? Um, maybe a little. Okay, then everything was fine. Then they stuck more needles in me. For aficionados of acupuncture, this is old hat. According to the tenets of Chinese medicine, tapping skinny needles into your pressure points is an age-old way of rebalancing the body and restoring, or ensuring, general health. The first stop, at 10:30 a.m., was the New York College of Traditional Chine...

Own grown organic herbs for clinic!

Image
My gardening skills and ideas are developing. Just recently a friend of mine, who is a keen organic gardener, showed me some of the herbs he was growing. I jumped out of my chair in excitement when he told me he had a goji berry plant. I rushed over to have a look at it. The idea of growing some Chinese herbs in Sydney is very possible and below is a picture. Goji plant. Also growing very productively was a mugwart plant. Or in Chinese herb terms the much treasured moxa herb for moxibustion. (Ai Ye). Moxa Herb: Mugwort is such a mysterious, beautiful and exciting herb, steeped in western and eastern folklore! I am very excited to have it growing close by to clinic. I intend to pick it, dry it and use it for moxa in clinic to help patients. It really is a very beautiful natural loop to grow local, have local access and treat local. I can't wait to introduce it to patients and see the look on their faces when they discover also that it is from just around the corner :)

Fertility and Natural Medicine

Image
The Yinova clinic blog posted an article about fertility and natural medicine which was featured in the June 2011Natural HealthMagazine . The article talks about how natural medicine, such as acupuncture, herbs, yoga, meditation, and other modalities help with fertility when other options might not. There are tips to help make healthier choices for general health and to optimize fertility (these are good ideas for both women and men). Get your protein from plants - Animal proteins requiere more insulin to process. Try beans, peas and nuts to mix it up. Ban trans fats -avoidprocessed, packaged and fried foods. Stick to foods with the good fats- avocado, nuts and olive oil are great choices. Drink more water -avoid soda andcaffeine! Beware of the sugar spike - avoid soda, white breads, and potatoes to reduce the overgrowth of yeasts in the body. The article also suggests that patients take a general herbal tonic , but I feel that its best to take specific herbal formula forindividual...
