MORE INFORMATION ON CHINESE MEDICINE DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM

You may, for instance, be diagnosed with 'excessive internal heat' and another environmental factor that is common place in the Chinese culture, of 'excessive dampness'. This pattern would be characterised by a feeling of heaviness, red tongue with yellow coating, sensation of heat and irritability, a rapid pulse and possibly a frontal headache. You now when you might have experienced this pattern before? Think hangover. 

Yes, there is a Chinese medicine formula for this condition, however having excessive damp-heat is not only brought about by drinking to much booze, but I'm going to keep this short. The point is, that there is a herbal formula that can addresses not only the symptoms of this presentation but correct the underlying pattern that gives rise to these symptoms. Jesus, not everyone is going to contact me looking for hangover formulas.

So here is a snapshot of other conditions that respond well to herbal medicine supplementation:

Insomnia and fatigue

Loss of appetite and common digestive disorders

Constipation and diarrhoea

Irritable bowel syndrome

Common cold and influenza

Chronic headaches

Skin disorders

Fluid retention

Anxiety, depression and stress

Allergies

Rheumatoid and osteoarthritis

Premenstrual syndrome and painful menstruation

Excessive menstruation

Infertility

Impotence and prostate disorders

Disorders associated with menopause

If you are interested in a consultation please contact me to make an appointment.

It is important to note, however that herbal formulas aren't only used to fix you like when you are broken by illness or a hangover, they are useful to keep you healthy. In fact traditionally Chinese medicine practitioners were paid to keep you healthy, and they didn't get paid if you got sick. Now there is an interesting business model. 

Ill explain how this works using an example that is close to your heart. Alcohol. Not that I think you are a raging alcoholic, but its a common phenomenological experience that most people can relate to. So here goes...

Chiese medicine aims to get you into a state of flow; a free flow of Qi in your body. The understanding is that when we have this free flow we are at optimal functioning physically and mentally. Believe it or not, one of the great ways to encourage this state is though the use of drugs and alcohol. Caffeine is another great legal example, as well as most of the illegal options. The physical strength, agile mind and creativity that you experience when using these substances is typical of being in a free flow state. The problem with sussing drugs and alcohol to achieve this state however, is that it comes at a cost. The temporary high is paid for by draining your body of reserves that we only have a limited amount of. You are writing cheques your body can't cash!

Enter Chinese medicine. It is basically a system that evolved over thousands of years of people watching very closely what brings us into, and takes us out of, optimal human functioning. Flow. 

Come in for a consultation and we can go through a analysis of what is going on n your physiology that western medicine just can't offer. It will give you an insight into your physiology and how your diet, lifestyle choices and emotional life combine into a pattern that you can observe, and what you can do about it in terms of dietary modification, supplementation and lifestyle changes.
