Healthy Herbs
Hippocrates, the
father of modern medicine, once said: “Let food be your medicine, and your
medicine be your food.” There is much wisdom in what he said. Unfortunately,
nowadays we are constantly bombarded with ads and the media about medications
and pharmaceutical drugs, which are no more than toxic chemicals aimed at
making you forever dependent on them because they only address your symptoms
but without curing you of your ailments and disorders.
Herbs,
on the other hand, are natural foods that can improve your health conditions.
Of course, they do not offer instant cures.
“Ginseng
is a natural herb with its branched roots in the shape resembling that of the
human form, and that is why it is called “man root” in Chinese.
Ginseng
is the king of herbs because of its potency in healing and nourishing for
rejuvenation. It has qualities that treat the entire body and not just a part of it. As
such, it is used to keep the body balanced and healthy. The potency of ginseng
has long been recognized; in ancient China , soldiers were given ginseng
before they entered the battlefield: they used it not only to restore strength,
but also to ameliorate the effects of shock and stress in the battle itself.
According
to Chinese medicine, ginseng brightens your eyes, opens your heart, enlightens
your brain, and strengthens your soul and spirit. For centuries, ginseng has
been present in many classical prescriptions for adjustive, preventive, and
restorative purposes.
The
human body is a self-cleaning mechanism, which utilizes the liver, kidneys,
urine, feces, breath, and sweat for detoxification of toxins. Ginseng is
instrumental in helping the metabolism for detox and weight control with
stopping food cravings.
In
addition, ginseng benefits the mind by overcoming burnout, irritability, mental
fatigue and concentration problems.
Most
importantly, ginseng is anti-aging in that it helps memory problem, a major
characteristic of aging. Ginseng stimulates the production of DHEA, a hormone
produced by the adrenal glands, responsible for protecting human memory. It is
recommended to take 20 drops
of ginseng tincture three times a day for 6 weeks, and then stop for 2 weeks
before repeating the cycle.The explanation is that it may prevent your body
from adapting to the ginseng and thus causing the herb to lose its potency.
Ginseng tincture helps sleep, mobility, and joint health, which are especially
important in aging.
Ginseng
is the king of the herbs because it provides holistic health for the body and
the mind at any age.
