Traditional (Herbal) Herbs! Great Discoveries Are Being Lost!

Posted by amm on Monday, 25 January, 2010

Definition: Traditional Herbs 

A traditional herb is defined as a botanic material known before history used by native people for their food and/or medicine. In all countries of the world, we are indebted to native people and their knowledge handed down through the people of recorded history. For example, where would the British be without the herbal herbs medicine and food plants of their Native Indians – The Scots, Irish, Celts, Picts, Faerie folk. FYI, The natives wore leathers, painted their bodies like Native Americans. The natives of the British Isles provided the whole world, a great treasure of herbal medicine today. To mention a few- angelica, garlic, chrysanthemum, hawthorn, digitalis, licorice root, holly, seaweed, many varieties of mushrooms, etc. The past shamans or medicine men and women of all cultures have preserved a rich plant knowledge which many patients are the beneficiary in natural medicine clinics, daily.

Where do traditional herbs come from?

Coetmmon knowledge reveals that all the herbs come from all regions of the plan. Any master herbalist appreciates this fact, but in reality, this fact is quickly disappearing. Given that our modern civilization continues to spread on the planet, more and more species are being lost. Many undiscovered flora are being lost and who knows what benefit has been lost due to greed and failure to be cognizant of how, short term interests, are destroying our current and future quality of life. Around the world, major contributions have been added to the herbal medicine arsenal:

  • Asia: Ginsengs, Astragalus, Chinese mushrooms (Yunzhi, Reishi), etc.  
  • North America: Aloe Vera, American ginseng, Alfalfa, Goldenseal, Milk Thistle
  • Central America: peppers, Cumin, Paprika, Oregano, Hibiscus, Coriander, avocado
  • South America: Maca, Guarana, Yerba Maté, Pau d’ Arco, Muira Puama, Jatoba, Catuaba
  • India: Ashwagandha, Gymnema Sylvestre, Ashoka, Guggulu, Dashmoola     
  • Africa: Yohimbe, Hoodia, Rooibus, Bangalala, Sacred Blue Lily, Ubulawu, Bush Potato
  • Europe: Chamomile, Valerian, Anise, Plantain, Fennel, Rosemary, Senna Leaf    
  • Australia: Eucalyptus, Tea tree, Wattleseeds, Morama bean & nuts, Bush lime

Benefits of Combining Herbs from Around the World

In the past, most of regional herbal medicine practices have operated separate from the other. Some initial bridges were created in the 1970s, between the US and Europe. With different migrations of Asian medicine practitioners, some trust was developed between specific practitioners and their students. The result was to create student-authors willing to share their knowledge. This raised the general knowledge while allowing more passionate herbalists to further their development. The 1980s began more sharing of the Ayurvedic tradition, These two sophisticated methodologies joining with the Three Americas has yielded a vast exchange of herbal knowledge. This combining of efforts and interests is raising practice quality. The separatists approach has succumbed to practitioners who are more inclusive and open-minded, Patients are getting better and more impressed with the results.  Patients are seeking alternatives to allopathic medicine and its here to stay, if unhampered by the interests of Big Pharma. The Wide World Web is rapidly increasing in quality with info access growing exponentially. The end result now is that a solitary idea will collide with another. The result will be synthesis, if both sides are open, then a new improved idea will take hold. A World Herbal system is here now! Our alternative medicine education systems are assisting. When added up, its a great time for the patient/client. The delivery of treatment is outstanding and progressing.

NATURAL FOOD REMEDIES FOR IMMUNITY & ENERGY

UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN REALLY ACQUIRE AIDS & WHAT YOU CAN DO TO OVERCOME!
Please Help Get The Word Out & Save Friends!

It is probably best that our eyes only see what they do or we would become very alarmed. We are more vulnerable to outside bugs like the “Kissing bug”, Rocky Mountain Tick, mosquitos, etc. and the microbes they carry are more than we realize.  Many people survive their bites while others suffer shock or potential death.The main determinant of immune strength is whether your immune system is able to defend you or is it dysfunctional.Our immunity is not only a protection against these intruder but also vital in supporting our life’s energy source. Underneath you can examine the crucial nutrition to obtain immunity strength vs. immune deficiency.

Its Right In Your Home Kitchen! You can re-establish your energy and balance through natural, whole, proven time and time again, food and remedies are around you. If you have AIDS then this process will take a little time to get comfortable with. Understand the condition took awhile to get to this stage, so the solution needs time to be worked on until your immune system wins, reconstructs, managing all your internal soldiers (T cells, White cells, Red cells) into a “Shock & Awe” victory. There are specific foods and herbs that increase soldier growth dramatically while strengthening their function.

Beneath you will discover further information and entrance to the natural, exceptional way to rebalance your body to optimize your body’s immunity.  

THE AIDS DIET- FOODS THAT ARE GOOD FOR YOU & FOOD TO AVOID

It is very important understand the reason behind this condition and what led to the eventual downfall of the human body. Usually, we find an individual will choose a lifestyle that causes imbalance. The imbalance will result in the body characteristics fitting into a particular body type. The key sub body type conditions are simple to make sense of. There are 6 basic types:


cold <———————–> hot
damp <———————-> dry
deficient <——————> excess

Usually, all of us fall into one body type. Those in good health will sustain or reside in the center of each of these constitutions.

  • For instance, (1), A healthy person will maintain his body temperature, neither too hot or too cold, ideal would be slightly neutral-warm.
  • Secondly, (2), the damp type has a system that has difficulty eradicating excess fluids which the person would benefit by eating diuretic foods
  • Thirdly, (3), a deficient person needs to be determined what she is deficient of. Is it vitamins, minerals, energy, sleep, disregarding foods and variety that would assist balance, etc.

The principal goal is to shift your body type to homeostasis or neutral. This is where healing takes place. This also is about you taking responsibility and participating in your treatment.

Here is where the master herbalist, specializing in traditional Chinese (aids herbs) medicine, focusses because 90% of all imbalance stems from what we are putting in our mouths. Either it is too much of a single food or foods from one constitutional type. Once you determine what your constitution is, then I would counsel you seek advice from a master herbalist (Asian Medicine) with 10 years experience or more.

Here are foods that benefit the typical AIDS constitution. However, while most people with AIDS are similar, it is extremely important to discern the differences so you experience vitality as soon as possible. Please stay committed. 

FOODS THAT BENEFIT:: Acidophilus, Bee pollen, Carrot juice, Cinnamon, Garlic, Ganoderm, Maitake, Micro-algae (chlorella, spirulina, wild blue-green) Rejuvelac, Seaweeds (irish moss, kelp, etc.), Shiitake, Saltless sauerkraut, Tumeric, YunZhi 

Nourishing Fruits: Banana, Cherry, Date, Fig, Jujube, Kumquat, Litchee fruit, Longon Fruit, Loquat, Mango, Melons, Orange Peel, Peach, Pear,

 FOOD TO AVOID: greasy foods, spicy foods, no spirits (alcohol), meat excess should be limited to 15% on the plate, dense meat, eggs, fried foods, salt, sweet food (anykind), flour, oil products, chemical ingredients or drugs. These excess foods create obstruction in the human body where they counter the deficient constitution.

Based on Traditional Chinese herbs and medicine and American nutrition the following foods were selected for their known enhancement of sports performance. Martial artists, monks and adept sages have advanced the practice of life-extension, spirituality and revitalizing practices over the countless centuries. I know these strategies work since I have included them in my own work out and practice of martial arts.
