Chinese Herbs and the Immune System:

Herbs can be used to fight off infection, and we stock these herbs.  Many people go through life this way: micro-managing each illness as it occurs.  This is important, but we encourage you to consider macro-managing your immunity.  One way is by taking a course of tonic herbs aimed at helping you achieve a state of radiant health – a state of health where your immune system is able to adapt to whatever challenges it faces.  This can help to prevent bacterial, viral and auto immune diseases.

In Chinese Herbal Medicine all disease is seen as a lack or imbalance in the three treasures.

Jing, Qi, Shen: The Three Treasures

You are made up of the tree treasures.

• Jing is your reserve of life force your deepest essence, your substance.  Your Jing is like the wax and the wick of a candle.

• QI is the energy you use for everyday activities like digesting your food, moving, breathing, and fighting off disease.  Your qi is like the flame of a candle.

• Shen is your spirit, your psychological and emotional well being, your wisdom and radiance, the sparkle in your eye.  Your Shen is like the light of a candle.

• The light of a candle will not be bright and long lasting if the wax or the wick are lacking.

What is Radiant Health?

• Alleviation of symptoms and complaints

• Glowing health, happiness, wisdom and physical vitality.

• Living with abundant energy while feeling relaxed and at peace.

• Experiencing youthfulness, a strengthened immune system, and improved cardiovascular health

• Living with a general feeling of empowerment, vitality, emotional balance, mental acuity, clear intuition, compassion, and resistance to disease and stress.

ONE WAY TO ACHIEVE RADIANT HEALTH IS  THROUGH THE USE OF SUPERTONIC HERBS

RADIANT HEALTH VOCABULARY:

• MEDICINAL HERBS: for alleviating existing symptoms.

• SUPER TONIC HERBS: for preventing symptoms and disease.  Super Tonic Herbs increase not only your body’s energy but the strength of its regulatory functions (adaptability).

• ADAPTABILITY: Our ability to adapt to changes in our environment is key to our well being. Every day in response to stress (change) our body adapts regulating our temperature, blood pressure, immune response and more.  If we adapt to these environmental changes appropriately and energetically, we are able to overcome the stress of life.  Adapting in this way requires energy.  For example  it is harder to deal with a stressful situation such as an increased demand at work or child care when you are feeling exhausted.  Supertonic herbs strengthen the body’s adaptability and provide the energy needed for an effective response.
