'2nd Nature Healing Center has Herbs to help you stay healthy'
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the world’s oldest medical systems. It aims to prevent or heal disease by maintaining or restoring yinyang balance, two complementary forces, yin (passive) and yang (active). These forces pervade the human body and the universe as a whole.
An essential aspect of TCM is an understanding of the body’s qi (life force; literally, “vital breath”), which flows through invisible meridians (channels) of the body. This energy network connects organs, tissues, veins, nerves, cells, atoms, and consciousness itself. Generally speaking, there are 12 major meridians, each of which connects to one of the 12 major organs in TCM theory. Meridians are also related to a variety of phenomena, including our physical, mental, and behavioral changes, seasons, and planetary movements.
Everything could be classified either as yin or yang, and to heal diseases the TCM Therapist aims to bring these two qualities back into balance. The inside of the body is yin, the surface or skin is yang; the spleen, lungs, heart, kidneys and liver are yin. The stomach, large intestine, small intestine, bladder and gall bladder are yang organs. A disease is yin when it results from internal causes, yang when it comes from external causes.
Bitter substances, and cold infusions are yin drugs,
while sharp substances, and hot brews are yang drugs.
Yin and yang are present throughout the world just as they are present in the human body.
To restore harmony, the Chinese healer may use acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping. The Chinese healer may prescribe a brew prepared with one (or some combination) of thousands of medicinal plants ( But Be Aware it can also come from animal kingdom (e.g., snakes, scorpions, insects...)
Herbal therapy
In TCM, each herb has a different role to help the body achieve harmony. TCM makes use of herbs and herbal formulas to strengthen organ function and support good health. An understanding of the essence of various herbal components gives the TCM practitioner a way to create a healing effect that reaches beyond the chemical composition and physical properties of the herbs. The practitioner chooses the herbal formula whose essence energy vibration will stimulates or adjusts the body’s own energy vibration.
