THE HISTORY OF HERBS

Chinese herbs have been used for 4,000 years. They’re prehistoric.

They are so important that cultivating and harvesting are a traditional art in china.

The earliest record that we have of Herbs is from Shen Nong, 3494 B.C.E.

Shen Nong is known to have recorded 365 health substances. The first book of herbal medicine was written by Shen Nong.

Another famous Herboligist was Zhang Zhong Jing who lived in the third century B.C. and wrote Shang Han Lun-Discussion of Cold Induced Diseases among others.

Chinese Herbs also date back to the Yellow Emperor 2597-2697 B.C.E.

What’s In Chinese Herbs

The Chinese have cures for everything even Malaria, (Wormwood) but what’s in it?

The real question is what’s not. Roots, bark, berries, fungi, seeds, leaves, and animals are all ingredients in Herbs . When the cure for cancer the Chinese will probably find it.

The Chinese chop, dry, and grind their herbs. The have cool two handed knives and round cutting boards.

The Ying and Yang are inside the person, but they’re also outside of the universe. Their job is to balance the person they’re in.

Ying and Yang

The icon of the Ying and Yang is the two of them entwined with a dot of one in the other. The symbalization is that Ying is negative (dark, cold, female) and yang is positive (light, warm, and male)

When the Ying and Yang are unbalanced you get sick. Herbs give you more or less of whichever one you have too little or too much of.

Drugs VS Herbs

Drugs

Drugs sometimes work and they have dangerous side effects and sometimes cause death.

Even when drugs work they sometimes work they often take a long time to work and have a very weak effect.

Herbs

Herbs work almost always unless misused and they often cure the dangerous side effects and stop the death.

Herbs usually work fast and they most often have pretty strong effects.

Another Method Another method of medicine is

acupuncture.

Anyway acupuncture is apearantly really good for you, but it doesn’t always last to long.

If you take herbs while doing acupuncture then the effects of the acupuncture last longer.
