The Chinese have been using herbs to battle disease for thousands of years and unlike most countries, the Chinese tested all of the herbs that they use on themselves rather than on animals. Basically it was a process that took many years of trial and error to get to the point of recognition that Chinese herbs have today. Over the years the Chinese were able to come up with some very effective herbal cures for many ailments. To this day, many are still used on a global scale and are referred to as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
The Chinese believe that the human body has to be balanced and when the balances are broken problems will arise. Chinese herbs are believed to adjust and align when used in combination to create an unbroken balance. This is probably why using Chinese herbs will create a perfect balance within the body while never affecting our normal body functions at all. What I found to be amazing about Chinese herbal cures, is that one can mix multiple herbs together to create a perfect recipe for just about any disease or ailment. This unique asset makes Chinese herbs a first pick for many who embrace the idea of mixing only herbs that address individual symptoms precisely. Chinese herbs allow you to basically control your own health effectively without the hassles of prescriptions, expensive doctor's visits, and more importantly, no ill side effects.
Compare the use of Western medicine to Chinese herbal medicine to treat depression and anxiety. Western medicine will treat depression and anxiety with pharmaceutical drugs more than nine out of ten times. Why? Well, it will alter the brains chemistry and make everything appear to be alright again while restoring a sense of normalcy to that person. There are side effects when these drugs are taken but many know no other way. In Chinese herbal medicine this disorder is not viewed as a mental condition at all, but rather as a condition of the chest where a feeling of agitation is present. Chinese treatments will state that push ups, yoga techniques, boxing, and breathing exercises will do for you exactly what Prozac will without the side effects.
Combining these treatments with some of the Chinese herbs that are available will ensure even further success. Try mixing Chai hu with a hint of mint as the best way to free up the gi of the chest. This has been known to work for so many years that it is hard to argue with the results. It is no wonder why Chinese herbal cures are still used and respected to this day.
