Herbal
Remedies and Supplements Herbs
are an integral aspect of traditional Chinese medicine, and they are
administered as part of a complete health care regime. Used in
conjunction with acupuncture, these natural remedies help the body
achieve equilibrium and work to facilitate the healing process.
In TCM, specific herbs are used for
specific problems. Much like a Western medical doctor would write a
specific prescription for a particular problem, the TCM practitioner
recommends herbal remedies. Unlike pharmaceuticals, however, which are
relatively new, TCM herbal formulas have been applied for thousands of
years. They present a safe and healthy alternative to other
medications. Because masters of traditional Chinese medicine have
applied herbs and observed their results for centuries, formulas have
been refined, and side effects with these herbal formulations are
minimal. At Energetic Health,
we use only the purest formulations of herbs, enzymes and dietary
supplements, and any herbal treatment(s) we recommend for you will
pertain to your specific health situation.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy
is a natural
medical science that makes use of dilutions of naturally occurring
substances
for treating a wide variety of illnesses. Dilution permits
the utilization
of virtually any naturally occurring substance. In
homeopathy’s long
history (since the late 18th century), the
safety and efficacy of
the therapy has been demonstrated in the successful treatment of
millions of
people.
Homeopathy
is based on the
Law of Similars. For example, the runny eyes and nose with
sneezing that
accompany the grating of raw onions are similar to typical symptoms of
hay
fever. One effective homeopathic remedy for hay fever is a
dilution of
Allium cepa (red onion). Note that the symptoms need not
result from the
same cause; as long as the symptoms are similar the remedy can work
effectively
to treat the ailment.
Homeopathic
remedies work by stimulating the body’s
own defense system into action. Their action can be compared
to inserting
a key into the lock of the body’s inherent defenses.
Homeopathy works
exceptionally well in children, whose defensive systems are generally
uncorrupted and vital. Dramatic effects are often observed in
treating
infants and young children. In addition, homeopathic
medicines permit
parents to avoid giving their children conventional drugs that may have
unwanted side effects. |
