Chinese Herbal Remedies
May 8th, 2008 by Keith JennisonThere’s a problem here, that there are people which is not well educated about what natural herbal remedies are safe and aren’t. For example, some of the most common ingredients in over the counter Chinese herbal remedies can be dangerous when taken with the wrong things. Take ginseng, for example. In most circumstances, taking ginseng is perfectly safe. But when combined to ephedra is another common ingredient in Chinese herbal remedies that become extremely dangerous which can lead to palpitations and even heart attacks. However, people continue to take ginseng and ephedra together without even realizing the damage they could be doing to their health.
I would really like to see Chinese herbal remedies incorporated with more fully with mainstream modern medicine. After all, both Eastern medicine and Western medicine have some things that they are good at. Western medicine is excellent for the treatment of acute problems. If you suddenly have a heart attack, a broken bone, a stroke, or some other medical emergency, you are much better going to a Western doctor. Traditional Chinese medicine, on the other hand, is much better at treating chronic conditions. Chinese herbal remedies can be used to treat problems before they even happen. This is what is so great about Chinese medicine.
