Traditional Chinese Medicine: Herbal Prescriptions

[jericomovie]

permanent solution...as in you'll never get the cold again? why am I skeptical...

[Darknessinpit57]

There are many herbs unknown to regular people, especially from gypsy people who would never let it be known to dimwits.

[peimotlev]

great video



[Davide131]

SO IS EXCESSIVE MASTURBATION BAD? I HAD A CHINESE DOCTOR TELL ME IT WAS BAD CAUSE IT WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS, LIVER, SPLEEN, AND DEPLETES TESTOSERONE AND THAT CHINESE DOC WAS SMART AS FUCK HE STUDIED CHINESE AND WESTERN MEDICINE, SO HE KNOWS WHATS UP. ITS CONFUSING THOUGH CAUSE MY THEOROPIST SAYS THE OPPOSITE HE SAYS THE EJACULATION PROCESS DOS NOT INVOLVE THE KIDNEYS, SPLEEN ETC. AND ACTUALLY INCREASES TESTOSERONE SO WHO THE FUCK IS TELLING THE TRUUUUUUTH? IDK WETHER TO WACK IT OR SMACK IT LOL

[TrueGreatness73]

@Davide131 lmfao.. Trust the chinese doctor.. The therapist is not a health guru they are a mental guru. On top of that American doctors say what they have learned. Guess what? It may sound crazy but the books they learned from is written by elitist who want to decrease the population so of course thats why they say that. The chinese are right... Just trust me on this

[voneinemkindgefict]

@Davide131 The kidney system invovled the HPA, your doctor is an idiot. Testosterone decreases following ejaculation. This is a medical fact. Too much may lower your testosterone too far. It also depends on the person, their age etc. Listen to your Chinese doctor.

[ElessarInvictus]

@Davide131 I pray for you. <3

[JCDC1810]

@Davide131 Hey, I study Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture and we've been taught that health comes from doing things in moderation. Masturbation in & of itself is not unhealthy, while daily or multiple times a day can be problematic. Signs you're overing doing it. Sore/painful lower back, painful or sore feet/ knees/bones, anxiety/stress, & insomnia.

[yukSchmuck]

In my case, I didn't find Chinese tea medicine to take more time than Western medicine at all. In fact, I had a prescription for 6 nights, and it really did help my anxiety very quickly. It may not work for everyone that way, but I trust this practice more than Western medicine, and it worked better than a year of counseling and pharmaceuticals, without side effects. It's also a great compliment for acupuncture.

[teachergunning]

This is a very informative video. I teach at a pharmaceutical university in Japan, in the English Department and I have used this video for an ESP (English for Specific Purposes) course focusing on Medical English. Hopefully, some of my students will watch this and place comments.

[gingowitch]

SCIENTISTS R STOOPID AND-OR EVIL. THEY PROMOTE MASTURBATION AND CIRCUMCISION AND UNNECCESSARY SURGERIES. DON'T LISTEN TO THE IDIOTS!

[astnrsh]

@gingowitch I'm not a scientist and I promote masturbation.

[gingowitch]

@astnrsh you stupid crippled gimp, visit happehtheory . com.

[astnrsh]

@gingowitch Aww... that hurts my feelings :(

[gingowitch]

@astnrsh masturbation cuts you off from your emotions.

[astnrsh]

@gingowitch If thats the case, why do i feel so sad about being a stupid crippled gimp? :(

[Xennia2493]

I want a career in this o.o

[MyMentalistmind]

Why is it not good to use cast iron to boil herbs?

[SpearofDestiny0]

How amazing. Definitely think Chinese Medicine is worth investigating here in the West. Obviously something is working in this field. We should fill each other's gaps with what we collectively know.

[Alizalevine1]

@SpearofDestiny0 Just uploaded my first video on Chinese Medicine "Quantum and Qi" - to explore ancient healing methods in light of contemporary physics.

[tomlovegod]

Traditional chinese medicine's basic idea is to make yourself better again to defeat the disease. Not kill the disease directly. So it is in a very slow way.

[iwillflagurvids]

So can I buy my weed there? Cannabis IS included in TCM right? :D

[llJAFYll]

@iwillflagurvids nah no weed

[JCDC1810]

@iwillflagurvids Only the seeds, love. We call in Huo Ma Ren, Cannabis Semen. Its mostly used as a mild laxative for the elderly or those who are generally weak & deficient.

[klizzard359]

most medicine comes from plants...don't understand why its so hard for people to imagine herbs healing people when they have aloe vera and asprin and dozens of other plant oriented medicines in their cabinet.

[RangoDurango]

@klizzard359 thats what ive been trying to telem

[soldierslady2504]

those stuff does work, but it bitter as hell. The good thing about it is even if it doesn't work it doesn't stuck in you liver or gallbladder like most of the western medicine.

[theerapolt]

Thank you

[bastardfingers]

Herbs have amazing properties. Killing endangered species like rhino with no medical benefits is evil.

[MiloOblong]

ive been taking herbs for a month now from my acupuncturist who is chinise, i can say its working great. i was taking diefferent herbs for acne, hormonal issues and cramps!

i recommend chinise medicine/herbs over stupid american doctor anyday they only precribe you with pills that dont work and cause more side effects and problems to health

[sincityfire]

There is actually a University course on Tradition Chinese Medicine.

[hecatesmagickchild]

In regina they were 5$ for one of those , but damn worth it. I am a living example of its proof that it works. So typical western attitudes an cram it.

They are trying to understand a different system , by using a different language. Westerns try to interprete it through western science and fail to understand it again and again. A lot of people keep doing that over and over again its annoying. I am a white westerner ad been using it for many years, the west needs to grow up a lot.

[Bcboi92]

I would be more subject to chinese medicine if it is better regulated. It just to risky as you don't know if your chinese doctor is certified or not

[000steelandstone000]

@Bcboi92 yes. while i am a strong supporter of chinese medicine (and also a chinese myself), i strongly agree with what you're saying.

one of the biggest problems with chinese medicine and its practitioners, is its lack of regulation. much as there are numerous skilled practitioners of chinese medicine out there, there are also tricksters and conmen out to cheat you of your money with fake prescriptions and claims.

what TCM needs is worldwide regulation.

[munchichi8]

@Bcboi92

In the USA, if you practice Traditional Chinese Medicine you have to get nationally certified which include competency with Western Medicine up to pharmacology which is important so that you don't prescribe herbs that create a toxic effect. The national board certification is given by NCCAOM. Along with biomedicine, we also need to know our TCM principles, theories, & fundamentals. Plus we need to know the function or acupoints and herbs in formulas. More than half the people fail.

[4chango]

@Bcboi92; If it gets regulated - it will cost too much for most to afford. Also with government regulation the corporate and political mafia will get to select who gets to learn it and use it. Soon due to working regulation you will no longer be able to buy Vitamin B 6-9-12 over the counter. Plus the FDA can not be trusted.

[midnight1203]

in a sinergy what???

[munchichi8]

@midnight1203

Synergy means that certain herbs work better together, like a team.

[72dew]

One of the reasons why TMC is really worth it is that it has way smaller side effects than western med have.

[blastarrbollaxIII]

Part 1.

BEWARE OF CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE SHOPS!.

In the UK, these Chinese liars try to rip you off.

A box of Feiyan tea in Chinese food shops can be brought for £7.00, in herbal CON shop they want £20.00 for 40 tea bags. Wholesale price = £3.75.

[blastarrbollaxIII]

@blastarrbollaxIII Part 2.

You tell them you won't buy it cause £20.00 is far too expensive, then I ask, "Where is any Chinese grocery food shop in town". They say, "Don't know". LIARS!.

Like they only eat English food & don't eat Chinese food from Chinese grocery shop.

Chinese liars!.

I go to local Chinese grocery store, on shelf Feiyan tea is £7.00.

Tell shop owner that herbal shop charge £20.00, he nearly fell over!.

Beware of Chinese LIARS!.

Almost as bad as South Korean LIARS.

[brianng999]

@blastarrbollaxIII When you go to a chinese herbal shop you are getting knowledge from the chinese doctor of which herbs you need...you pay for that service not just for the actual herbs.

Its the same as if you go to the western doctor...you don't just pay for the drug you pay for the service. How is that cheating you?

[cltw666]

@blastarrbollaxIII it could happen in any shop.. not necessarily a chinese medicine shops... If you come to my restaurant trying to buy just the crab in my fish tank.. i would charge the crap out of you.. same thing happened here. Go to a fish market... you can get your tea from a grocery store.. why get them from a chinese medicine shop?

[munchichi8]

@cltw666

In order to treat any condition in the body you have to diagnosed the cause of the problem first. Which is why you need a licensed TCM practitioner to prescribe a formula for you.

True you can get your prescription from a Chinese herbal shop but I guarantee you that those "common" people know maybe 1/3 of the knowledge as someone that is licensed with a degree to practice Traditional Chinese Medicine.

[cltw666]

@munchichi8 I'm talking about the tea. not the chinese herbs. He bought a tea more expensive from a herbal shop where he could get it cheaper in a grocery store.

[Karensufkino]

TCM not only can cure the sickness, at the same time, it helps to strengthen your body. So you will still have energy while you fight for the virus. However, you have to be patient while taking TCM, it wouldn't strengthen your body just by taking it one or two times. If your symptoms are really really serious, take western medicine, because they are really good at fast relieving. After your symptoms become moderate, you can take the TCM again.

[esperanzadiseasefree]

I like this video you give good infor. Thank you.

[klizzard359]

I bet alot of the people who laugh at the idea that plants could provide medical benefits prolly have a pantry stocked full of medicines and pills that, guess what, came from plants.

Ironic, isn't it?

[universeplayground]

why does this fool call them chinese herbs? chinese people got their whole culture from black people .....they are a cave species who has always eaten its baby girls......if they were racial herbs they would be black herbs....give credit where its due. soryy to crush your dreams

[Jin6107]

@universeplayground lol chinese people developed there own culture not from black people ... chinese invented medicine which is used today

[universeplayground]

it would appear to be so..however the god of asia is sambho...asia was called sambojudasia sambho was a black man..a black race really....chinese invented nothing...buddha has nothing to do with chinese beings....sorry

[Jin6107]

@universeplayground chinese invented nothing lolol are u serious

chiense people invented more than black people

fireworks, gun powder,paper, printing,silk,porcelain,compas­s thats just a small list

[OGdank13]

@Jin6107 they did almost all those things with hemp ;)

[isasunshine23]

today we live in a world of money before people. in a world where television makes us belief what ever it wants and hides what ever is not convenient to the CEOs pocket. so we become so blind we end up in an argument with others where we deny the existence of the cure and conform our selves in buying quality of what ever life is left in us instead of curing it. some people choose to live and some to make others live an exuberant life with their final days on earth.

[tfrenn]

Healing is both a science and an art. Unfortunately , western medicine has become all science. We have to ask ourselves whether medicine is to remain a humanitarian and respected profession or a new but depersonalized science in the service of prolonging life rather than diminishing human suffering

[blade0817]

Very good comment! Thank you Tfrenn!

[rawjor]

Actually there was a Italian doctor that claimed he could treat a certain kind of cancer(that is currently uncurable according to western doctors) by just simply inserting some sodium bicarbonate into the tumor.

Due to our unhealthy diet our body has accumulated so many toxins, more than the body can excrete, therefore creating problems like cancer, diabetes, and other autoimmune diseases. that you rarely see in third world countries. Grandprix55 all you do is spew hate without any real argmts

[GrandPrix55]

No need to research the facts that Scholasticism is not science; astrology is not astronomy and Chinese medicine is unscientific and scholastic.

Fact.

By the way, your spelling is poor and your grammar even worse.

Uneducated comments supporting quackery.

[rawjor]

at this point your just blabbering useless information without any supporting evidence yourself. All you can do is use cheap shots and low blows, for example, saying my spelling and grammar is poor which is totally not related to the subject.

[rawjor]

Science is about theory and observation. You can deduce situations by simply making calculated and predicted outcomes due to previous observations of a particular situation. Over the course of five thousand years the Chinese have not only tested and observed the adverse reactions for every type of herbal combination.

[bradhuygens]

@rawjor you should reply to him instead of just commenting because most people think you are talking to the uploader

[seemarrr]

u a stupid!

Chinese medicine has been exam and used by 1/3 of the world population for more than 4000 years!

people find is much better than the so called 'science'

u said is NOT science?! science is already a tool for business man making money!

we all know how many so called science medics are harmful !!

grammar and spelling is not the way to judge a 2nd language user

[blade0817]

As a current student of Traditional Chinese medicine as well as doing research in Western medicine, I strongly agree about your comment in the second paragraph. Researches show that Americans are one of the unhealthiest people on the entire world - probably the best way to measure is that the U.S. ranks #50 (yes, fifty) for life expectancy on the world!! Not a fact we should take lightly. Most of the products from the food industry is so deficient in nutrients that people don't get anything.

[combatcommand]

Could I smoke honeysuckle instead of making tea?

[stonetop]

The problem with herbal remedies is that it is impossible to control for the exact quantities of the components. The chemicals in a mint leaf that are helpful will vary from leaf to leaf making exact dosage impossible.

Modern Medicine distills the herbs down to those active components and allows for precise dosages to be created.

[XonixRogotta]

That's the problem with Western medicine, it only ever treats the symptom but never the actual problem/cause.

[dream2last]

where is this shop ?

[stonetop]

where do you think the chemicals in the pills come from?

[PirateKing1256]

Plants extract....

yeah...you're right.

[4k3el]

she's very pretty

[anonymouschipmunk1]

yes she is.

[needcash4school]

The biggest problem is that those chinese pots that hold the herbs are probably made in factories that are polluted which means the herbs are tainted. If you are true hippie/holistic believer, you would be growing those herbs in your backyard.

[eclecticdoc]

not necessarily. Just as there are good car manufacturers and lemon makers, there are good reputable herb suppliers and there are third rate dealers. This same goes for the storage. Also, if one knows herbs one knows that each herb has it's ideal place of growth - an herb may grow better in a high altitude area than at sea level, etc. Others need damp dark caves to grow well.

[GrandPrix55]

Pills have NOT destroyed the nation. Fantasist.

For your information 99.9% of all Western medical drugs are derived from plants. Unlike Chinese quackery, ours are scientifically tested.

SCIENCE - the means to the truth.

[SkanRashke]

That statement isn't exactly accurate. Maybe.. 20% of currently used drugs are manufactured with plant derivatives. Actually the vast majority of them contain -mox derivatives(Mold spores of a sort; as an antibiotic), animal hormones(Usually for treating mood, sleep and hormonal disorders) or synthetic chemicals(everything else). Plants are generally only used in very menial diseases in the continental US, such as headcolds, minor infections and fever. Though 81% of the world over uses plants as

[GrandPrix55]

You obviously have no idea what Science means, or is.

Chinese "medicine" is devoid of it for a start - just like you of common sense.

Get conned if you like. Your loss.

Expensive mythology.

[SkanRashke]

Mythology, just like your "facts"? Like how "99.9%" of american drugs are herb-based? Unless you're going to back up your insults with viable facts, don't bother trying to act like they're justified. The last thing I need is some high schooler pulling crap out of their ass just because its what you think is sceience, when it's obvious you have no idea what the scientific process is.

[bradhuygens]

@GrandPrix55 the guy who uploaded it did NOT make it!

[SkanRashke]

..their primary pharmaceuticals- including germany! Many plants/plant derivatives are highly effective against many forms of disease- for example? Morphine is a plant derivative, and is among the strongest of painkillers. Reserpine(An exotic plant) is used as a powerful sedative in mental health institutes today the worldover. So to brush off chinese medicine, a subject with tomes and tomes of scientifically tested and proven effectiveness, simply because you think "they haven't been tested", I

[SkanRashke]

think you should go do some research. Here are some good books on the subject.

"Classics of Chinese Traditional Medicine", by the National Library of Medicine.

"Chinese Medicine" by the Wellcome Historical Medical museum.

RESEARCH: Science wouldn't be anywhere without it ;)

[GrandPrix55]

You obviously have no idea what Science means, or is.

Chinese "medicine" is devoid of it for a start - just like you of common sense.

Get conned if you like. Your loss.

Expensive mythology.

[SkanRashke]

I just gave you books full of scientific research performed by western doctors. You're just as bad as that other guy- so convinced your own opinion is right without any real evidence. Do you care to back up your insults with facts? Or is it just "common sense"?

[laceylingerie]

you're a typical westerner who thinks science only exists in the west. please read up on history and history will have you know that the east were WAY advanced in medicine in ancient times. there is a science to TCM if you bother to read up about it. dumb fuck.

[munchichi8]

@laceylingerie

Lol thanks for the support on TCM.

I thought I add that Tamiflu's main ingredient is from a Chinese herb, which is Star Anise.

I also like to remind some of you guys that it was a TCM physician who created the first immunization by feeding skin from a dead person with a disease to prevent others from getting the same disease.

[Gooniessss]

@laceylingerie I totally agree. I mean, chinese medicine is scientifically proven. Everyone knows that tiger penis is a cure for impotence. They seem to have ran out where i live so Mary bale has been doing very good trade in regular moggies cock.

[laceylingerie]

@Gooniessss tiger penis is nonsense and it's not a cure for anything. there is a line where TCM gets too crazy and that is it.

[usfdude]

@laceylingerie no, you're a fucking idiot. Give me the chemical formula for a "toxin."

[laceylingerie]

@usfdude give you a chemical formula for toxin? really? it's just a general term for harmful substances. now you're just being really dumb. good day to you sir

[bradhuygens]

@laceylingerie who are you talking too?

[laceylingerie]

@bradhuygens can't remember who lmao. this was so long ago

[bradhuygens]

@laceylingerie lol

[leylalinda]

love it!

[GrandPrix55]

How typical - defend one myth by making another.

For someone who says Science is false, it's ironic that you should be typing it on a Scientific product which is obviously PROVEN to work - your computer. You have no credibility,

Any false 'science' wasn't Science in the first place.

Chinese medicine is scholastic bullshit and it takes a low IQ qidiot like yourself to fall for their dangerous rip off quacks.

Get an education yourself - and a brain.

Science would be a good start.

[kkklownknight6699]

Fuck you,

You don't know shit.

[bradhuygens]

@kkklownknight6699 the guy who uploaded it is not the person that was talking

[Myownpickle]

Everything science knows is a result of TCM. TCM has been around for over 5 thousand years and never failed. It has cured the incurable and does not have any side effects. Your ¨science¨ has caused kids to kill themselves, driven people to murder and destroys the bodies natural healing powers all in the name of making more money off of some warped pill that TCM harvested as a side-effect-free herb thousands of years ago. So maybe you should put down the pills and get a life.

[GrandPrix55]

"Everything science knows is a result of TCM" <-- Proving you're a complete idiot.

Modcrn Science is Western with its roots in ancient greece.

Ignoramus - keep letting the TCM morons con you both medically and financial.

QUACKS promoted by ignorant morons.

[Myownpickle]

I would rather spend my money and time on something that could only make me stronger then subject myself to the pills that have destroyed our nation. The two take a different approach to medicine, it is true. TCM would rather help the body help itself then give it a quick fix so it learns to depend. All pills are based off of herbs, this is a fact. Recently in Canada the movement of TCM became so large the big pharma tried to ban it. What does that tell you?

[Myownpickle]

I tells you that TCM works. It also tells you that people are loosing faith in the modern medical system for being nothing but a product of greed. Corporations need to make money off these pills, ¨come get your pill and for all the side effects there are more pills and for those there are more pills..¨. No one at the top would like that there is a way for people to cure themselves just by having a greenhouse. And sorry, I meant modern Medicine, not science.

[Myownpickle]

I would also Like to know what TCM did to you that you are so against it? What? Did an herb kill your child? Did a big bad orange peel ruin your life?

BTW: Financially? A bag of herbs is 5 dollars.. I am going to school to get my PhD in TCM. I will have to flee the country soon after I graduate because of big pharma now controlling the Canadian medical sect completely. It will be soon that people have to take pills, there will be no other option.

When an agenda is in place... jeeze.

[elishot]

I somewhat agree with grandprix but i think that herbs do have benefits for your body. Maybe not in the same way as "prescribed" by TCM doctors (take this and you're flu will go away.. etc)... but i still think its healthy to take herbs

[virgojeep1]

modern day medicine doesn't really help the body destroy disease anyway. All it does is suppress the pain. Herbs reinforce the body's natural defenses against disease.

[GrandPrix55]

NOT A SCIENCE. It's like astrology - a con to make money.

[murphy9238481]

you don't know anything.

[GrandPrix55]

Coming from someone named Murphy? LOL go ahead.. let them con you. Chinese medicine is NOT a science - and if you think otherwise it is YOU who doesn't know a thing. Get a brain.

[murphy9238481]

I've been taking chinese medicine for 4 years now. and trust me I wouldn't be taking it if it didn't work. your just completely ignorant. chinese medicine must be the greatest con in the world since it's been around for 5000 years. Go play some warcraft you geek.

[mariahfaith123]

not just that chinese medicine is growing in popularity...more people now are choosing chinese medicine and alternative ways...compared to 50 years ago, were people never really talked about that sort of thing.

[GrandPrix55]

You're illiterate.. so it's not surprising you rate mumbo-jumbo above science.

[bradhuygens]

@GrandPrix55 i think the people who made this video are professionals

[rawjor]

making fun of someone's name makes you correct... just stop talking man, all you've done is just make a fool of yourself.

Con? herbs cost 5% of what western medicine charge you, dumbass.

[mariahfaith123]

chinese medicine treats the mind and the physical body..and its not just spiritual either, and get your facts write its not astrology...its natural medicine.

[Kastrovol]

Well, I don't know about the mind. My mother's side of the family have a few Chinese medicine practitioners, so I have experience on the subject. They don't offer immediate cures, nor am I sure that their cures are permanent. However, they do improve general health and condition the body against some illness. Unlike most western medicine, they are less invasive to the body (see side effects), but I don't complain about the fast cures (thank you Pepto-Bismol).

[GrandPrix55]

Chinese medicine CONS the mind.

You're being ripped off - and they use dangerous contents banned in the West.

It's also very simplistic.. eg. eating parts from a strong animal like a tiger makes you strong.

NOT EXACTLY SCIENCE IS IT?!

[rawjor]

lol your such a moron its not even funny, You brushed on the tip of the iceberg and act like you actually did any research at all. Yes there are people that claim they are "TCM doctors" after taking a 6month course, but real chinese doctors not only have years (family friend spent 11 years just to study) but also years of experience. Western medicine failed me, they prescribe medicine to treat symptoms but in actuality your still dying.

[EagleWoLF777]

If you were a true scientist, then you would know that nothing in science has been proven to be true, only it has not been proven to be false. And TCM has been scientifically proven to work and change the body's chemistry. Plus if your really into science then look up Quantum Physic, which gets into the Laws of the Universe saying that the Universe, the human body included, is made up of energy. Educate yourself before your make judgements.

[MsNekodon]

@EagleWoLF777 So, if i eat bulls dick my sexual performance should increase right? And if i eat your brain i should get your knowledge too? Wow, TCM is great.

[Siberianhusky89]

He never stated that. He's saying that some of this may be true, don't just disregard everything. It was once believed that if men ducked under desks during a nuclear bombing, man would live... Does that mean Western Science is completely wrong?

[revr6598]

@EagleWoLF777 I agree! TCM has worked for me, Western Medicine literally killed my condition but killed my spirit, I Love my TCM Doctors whom restored me in one month! Study Case: I had Strept Throat, Doctor gave Zithromyacin and claered in one week, got it a month later and again took it and cleared. I got it again a month later and received TCM, Cleared up in Three days and never got it back, clearly TCM Doctors got to the root of my problem, Not the Pill Pushing Western Doctor.

[rawjor]

LOL just like astrology LOL man... did you even graduate high school?
