Joint Pains — A Chinese Herbal Prescription (12)
JOINT PAINS – - A Chinese herbal prescription.
Everybody has suffered from joint pains one time or another except those at very young age.
Causes of joint pains:
• Age will definitely worsen your joint pains.
• Overexertion in work, sports or other activities.
• Overexposure to cold, wind and damp such as insufficient clothing to protect the body against the elements.
• Not enough rest due to work, travel, and other activities.
• Sudden change in weather especially humidity.
• Uric acid from food, known as Gout in Western medicine.
• A previous joint injury may result in periodic pains after recovery.
• Flu or cold can cause temporary aches and pains, which will disappear when the flu passes.
Nature of joint pains:
• Long-term condition subject to occasional flare-ups triggered by the causes described above.
• Aging causes more pains, possibly deformation of joints too.
• Joint pains accompanied by swelling are more serious.
• Very difficult to cure joint pains completely. Expect only improvements in the following areas: intensity of pains, duration, degree of swelling if any, and the frequency of flare-ups.
• A certain degree of tiredness always accompanies the pains.
• Painkillers or numbing with ice can only reduce the pains but cannot get to the roots of the problem.
External treatment:
• Gentle and slow exercise such as Tai Chi, Yoga, or swimming.
• Heat treatment with pad or lamp.
• Massage by people or machine.
• Acupuncture.
* Various oitments with different ingredients.
Internal treatment:
The Chinese approach is to enhance the blood circulation with herbs. The Chinese name for joint pains is ???, literally translated as “wind damp disease”. This is related to the observation that joint pains become more acute in windy and damp weather conditions. The herbs used to enhance blood circulation will flush out the wind and damp, as well as cold absorbed by the body from the environment. Improved blood circulation also helps reduce swelling. The effects will last much longer than external treatment since the herbs also strengthen the bones and tendons.
The basic prescription for joint pains is focused on strengthening blood circulation, bones and tendons. It also tries to expel the environmental factors being absorbed into the body such as wind, damp and cold:
1) Blood circulation
Sang Ji Sheng ? ? ?
Gui Zhi ? ?
Du Huo ? ?
?u Jia Pi ? ? ?
2) Bones and tendons
San Qi ? ? ?? ??
Niu Xi ? ?
Gu Sui Bu ? ? ?
Bu Gu Zhi ? ? ?
3) Expel wind/damp/cold
Jiang Huo ? ?
Fang Feng ? ?
Bi Xie ? ?
Ze Xie ? ?
A combination of 12 herbs is recommended.
Drink one cup (8 oz) of herb tea a day, preferably in the morning to allow time for dissipation of excess heat.
This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:
* How acute is the pain and where.
* Any swelling and where.
* How sensitive is your body to the strengthening herbs.

Weight Loss — A Chinese Herbal Prescription (21)
Weight LOSS – - A Chinese herbal prescription.
Your body weight basically depends on how much you eat and how much you work your muscles. If the two don’t come into balance, you have either weight gain or weight loss. You may say that genes play a part. In fact, will power is a bigger player here. There is also something beyond your control, such as famines, which can happen due to natural disasters.
The Chinese are not as obsessed with body weight as Westerners until very recently. There is a Chinese term for gaining weight (??). It means something good because it signifies plenty of food to eat. If you study Chinese history, famine is not an uncommon phenomenon, the previous one having occurred in mid 1960s. The Chinese used to worry more about not enough to eat than too much leading to weight gain.
Since Chinese herbs were discovered by village peasants long time ago, do you think they had the time to worry about weight gain? Most likely not. On the contrary, they worried about not enough harvest to feed the family. China has barely enough cultivated lands for its huge population. As a result, no Chinese herbs have been discovered for weight loss because there is no such need. On the other hand, there are plenty of herbs for good appetite because the Chinese are obsessed with enjoying food. This is not to suggest that Chinese herbs cannot be employed to promote weight loss. I’ll give an herbal prescription later by showing how to adapt this ancient knowledge to the modern problem of overweight.
Several years ago, some businessmen promoted Ma Huang????as a weight-loss herb to make pills without understanding its potency. It resulted in a number of fatalities, causing Ma Huang to be banned in the US market. Ma Huang was once rumored to be good for weight loss. On the other hand, the herbal dictionary says it is good for asthma and congestion. The weight loss effect has been fabricated just for profit.
Where does your weight come from?
• If you believe that your weight is purely a result of your genes, you should sit back and relax, because there’s nothing you can do about it.
• It’s true that weight gain is due to aging because your metabolism begins to change from age 40 onward.
• Weight comes from the food you eat. Both quantity and quality matter. Have you ever seen a heavy person in places where starvation occurs? If yes, he must be a reporter or rescuer.
• Overweight is a direct result of bad eating habit. This is obviously hard to swallow for anybody. Bad habit is most difficult to admit and to fix.
• Overweight is also a direct result of not enough muscle work or exercise. In this age of automation where people don’t depend on muscles to get things done, weight gain becomes a general health problem.
What constitutes bad eating habit?
• Too much quantity
• Irregular meal times and frequent snacking
• Too much grease and fat, especially meat and dairy products
• Not enough variety to include more vegetables, fruits, etc.
• Indulgence in a few fancy things like chocolate, ice cream, chips, etc.
• Frequent eating outside the home. You lose the freedom to control the contents and ingredients when you eat in a restaurant.
Learn from other cultures and see how other people eat:
• Chinese food offers great variety but often too greasy.
• Japanese food has little grease but less variety.
• Vietnamese food is light and almost dairy free.
• American food is well known for big portions and concentrations.
• You may want to add some others that impress you.
Because there are no Chinese herbs directly linked to weight loss, to find an herbal prescription requires adaptation of an ancient knowledge to solve a modern problem. To promote weight loss, the Chinese approach focuses on the following:
1) Enhance blood circulation to create a greater burn rate
Sang Ji Sheng ???
Du Huo ??
Niu Xi ??
Tian Qi ??
2) Regulate water content by boosting the kidneys
Jin Qian Cao ???
Du Zhong ??
Xu Duan ??
3) Strengthen digestion to break down and push out food more effectively
Zhi Shi ??
Hou Po ??
Fu Pi ??
Bai Kou Ren ???
A total of 11 herbs are recommended.
Drink one cup (8 oz) of herb tea a day, preferably daytime. You don’t need the herb tea for consecutive days. Drinking 10 to 20 cups of herb tea within a month will suffice normally.
This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:
* How accurate the herbalist understands your weight problems
* How does your body respond to the herbs.
* Nothing else can help if you eat more than you need.
