Low Energy -- A Chinese Herbal Prescription

LOW ENERGY - - A Chinese herbal prescription. Low energy is one of the most common symptoms. When something goes wrong inside the body, you almost always experience a low energy period before recovery. Consequently, if low energy is treated as a root cause by itself, you seldom achieve solving the real problem. Many things can cause low energy, ranging from the least severe (not enough sleep, catching a cold, or aging) to the urgent ones like hepatitis and other major organ ailments. How can you identify the root cause? The key lies in the duration, frequency, severity, and recovery of the low energy period. Low energy due to aging is a continuous mild decline only noticed once a while. Low energy due to lack of sleep disappears immediately after enough rest. Low energy due to catching a cold also disappears after the cold is gone. However, major problems related to the liver or other organs will see an abrupt and severe energy decline that lasts, and it only begins to improve when the root cause is being treated. A discussion with the patient is necessary to help you understand the root cause of low energy. Since the root cause varies greatly, only a basic prescription is given here with the following assumptions:* Not due to flu or cold (See video "Flu or Cold " by same author).* Not due to major root cause such as hepatitis or other organ ailments.* Not due to trivial cause like not enough sleep the night before.The basic prescription for low energy should focus on strengthening blood circulation, liver, stomach, lungs, kidneys, and the Qi. If no positive result is seen after two weeks, you should appreciate that the root cause is more complicated than originally thought. A more accurate diagnosis is required.1) Blood circulationSang Ji Sheng 桑 寄 生Gui Zhi 桂 枝Du Huo 獨 活2) LiverBai Shao 白 芍Gou Qi Zi 枸 杞 子3) StomachShan Yao 山 藥Dang Shen 党 參4) LungsBai He 百 合Zi Wan 紫 菀5) KidneysQian Shi 芡 實Du Zhong 杜 仲6) The Qi Ren Shen 人 參Huang Qi 黃 耆A combination of 13 herbs is recommended.One must be careful not to prescribe strong herbs for fast results. The consequence may be negative. When stronger herbs are used, they generate heat inside the body. Excess heat may cause many side effects.Drink one cup (8 oz) of herb tea a day, preferably in the morning to allow time for dissipation of excess heat. This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:* How accurate is your diagnosis regarding the root cause.* How weak is your body and where is the weakness.* How sensitive is your body to the strengthening herbs.www.herbsandtea.com Click the Askjohn button to pose a question.Herbal capsules or concentrates can be tailor-made for your conditions.
