Using Chinese herbs for health

 

The history of Chinese herbs used for medicinal purposes dates back to sometime between 800 and 200 BC with the publication of Huang Di Nei Jing, the yellow medicine classic of the Yellow Emperor. At this time, a combination of 28 separate Chinese herbs had been discovered to have great healing power and the combination of many of them still exists today.

Around 500 AD, Chinese herbs were classified in a classification system that helped guide their use depending on the particular situation. The superior herbs were used to help maintain health, in the same way that today we use herbal and vitamin supplements; medium herbs were used to treat disease; and lower herbs were used to cure diseases. Chinese herbs have been credited with successfully treating everything from acne to infertility.

In today's world, where traditional medicine tends to focus on the methods used in Western medicine, much of the use of Chinese herbs is largely overlooked. But for those seeking non-traditional medicine as a means of regaining health or even as a supplement to traditional medical care, they will find that the benefits of Chinese herbs are based on ancient knowledge and a success story.

But the use of Chinese herbs, while often safe, should be used under the guidance of a medical professional and after extensive research has been done.
