Most of the people I deal with have been struggling with anxiety disorders for many years and have usually exhausted themselves looking for a solution in every book, course, or treatment program out there. By the time they get to me, they are very skeptical (as is natural) and have little faith in ever getting rid of their condition. Soon I'll Be Showing You The Most Powerful Technique For Eliminating Anxiety And Panic Attacks Without The Use of Medication.
Chinese Diagnostic Illustrations, Part One (41)
Chinese Diagnostic Illustrations, Part I
This video illustrates how Chinese diagnosis is done for various common ailments. It follows from my previous video entitled, “A Practical Road Map”. In case you forget, the requirements of diagnosis are: objectivity, rationality, and connection to the herbs.
Fever or flu
Fever or flu has many observable symptoms. It is not hard to connect the diagnostic result to the herbs. Various kinds of herbs exist for conditions such as excess heat in the body, cough, phlegm, sore throat, headache, etc. The only difficulty is to determine how strong the prescription should be. You must rely on pulse reading and your reasoning to arrive at the appropriate strength of the herbal prescription. A person with a weak constitution like a senior must be given a mild prescription rather than a strong one. For further details, see my other videos, “Flu or Cold” and “Cough”.
Cholesterol or Blood Sugar
How can you diagnose high cholesterol or blood sugar with Chinese ancient methods? You just cant. Cholesterol and sugar are chemical substances in the blood that can only be detected in a blood test, which is a Western method. The Chinese herbalist has to rely on the results of the blood test to see and monitor the problem.
How can you connect to the herbs? The names cholesterol and blood sugar dont connect of course. You must apply simple reasoning of cause and effect. Cholesterol and sugar are present in the food you eat. This points to the digestive system where plenty of herbs can be applied. If the digestive system is strengthened or made more robust with herbs, it will break down the food more thoroughly. In this way, the cholesterol and sugar will be broken down and expelled, rather than staying in the blood stream. Your reasoning also points to higher metabolism to break down cholesterol and blood sugar. This connects to the herbs used to boost blood circulation. For further details, please see “Basic Healing Approaches of Chinese Medicine”.
Toxins
The toxins in your blood are only observable when the threshold level is reached. The problem will manifest itself ranging from a minor skin rash, to a serious one like cancer. Chinese diagnosis cannot detect anything below the threshold point without relying on Western blood or other tests. Furthermore, it cannot tell what kind of toxin or chemical substance is present in the blood. No specific toxin can connect to a Chinese herb. However, there exist various kinds of cleansing herbs to purge toxins from the body. So Chinese herbs are toxin general, not toxin specific.
How can Chinese diagnosis work then? Again, you rely on the Western blood test to verify and monitor. Then you apply the simple reason of cause and effect. For prevention, stay away from polluted areas and polluted food. For treatment, apply various kinds of cleansing herbs to reduce the toxicity in your body. In addition, apply herbs to strengthen the liver and kidneys, because they are major cleansing organs of the body. For further details, see my video on “Detoxification”.
Anxiety, Stress, Sleeplessness
This trio usually comes together. They present a variety of subtle symptoms, which are hard to detect and measure. Chinese diagnostic methods emphasize discussing with the patient about his lifestyle and attitude, and about the kind of stress that he is dealing with everyday.
From the Chinese viewpoint, anxiety, stress and sleeplessness are the result of a loss of balance, which in turn results from a weak body that fails to readjust itself and maintain balance in difficult situations. This points to the necessity to strengthen the body for better performance. However, too strong a strengthening prescription may bring an opposite effect. Therefore, the job of the herbalist is to tailor a mild prescription to make the body more robust to handle everyday stress. Please see my other videos on “Anxiety and Stress”, “Sleep”, and “Balance”.
