enormous changes in body’s physiology. Modern scientists in both
eastern and western cultures have done numerous studies to find out how acupuncture really works. So what did they find? Upon inserting needles, a hormonal response is activated.
This response will help to re-balance the body’s natural healing properties. Much of the details of how this happens are not really understood. But for over 3,000 years the Chinese and other Asian cultures have used acupuncture to help activate the body’s natural healing process. Why Herbal Medicine? Herbal medicine is the oldest medicine.
From the time of the caveman until the early 20th century, herbal medicine was used in all cultures of the world. When the first drug stores were opened by Arabian pharmacists in 754 A.D, these pharmacies were stocked with herbal remedies not the pharmaceuticals that we know of today. It wasn't until the late 19th century that scientist started to realize the power of certain herbs to cure diseased. With the onset of penicillin (discovered from mold, a type of fungus that is similar to animals in genetics) mass production of pharmaceuticals started to become the drug society that we have today.
When mass production became the norm, herbal medicine lost favor in the western cultures. It was easier to take a pill than cook herbs. But now, the amount of side effects that modern pharmaceutical have produced has turned more people to search out a more natural way! Why Women’s Health? Woman’s physiology is much more complicated than a man’s physiology. Why? Because every month we go through a series of changes, the menstrual cycle, which our hormones are in charge of creating. With all the action that are bodies have to go through there are more chances for something to go wrong. Either too much of one hormone can be produced or too little of another. This causes an imbalance in the in the way certain actions are suppose to happen in a woman’s cycle. For most women, problems with their menstrual cycles happen at some time in their live. Now you can be free of those problems by using Traditional Chinese Medicine.
