"Hence the sages did not treat those who were already ill;
they instructed those who were not yet ill.
They did not want to rule those who were already rebellious; they guided
those who were not yet rebellious. To administer medicines to diseases which
have already developed is comparable to the behavior of those persons who begin
to dig a well after they become thirsty, and of those who begin to cast weapons
after they have already engaged in battle. Would these actions not be too
late?"
Huang Ti Nei Jing Su Wen
The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine
Hello Again Friends,
Welcome to the June newsletter.
The above quote is well known to any practitioner of Chinese
Medicine. I have included it in this issue to remind you that even
though we talk of acupuncture and Chinese herbs treating
various medical conditions, they excels at
prevention. Practitioners are trained to see imbalances when they are small and uneventful, hopefully to treat them and avoid any later greater imbalance or illness. Treatment creates a state of homeostasis for
the body and this itself is balancing and healing. Mental and emotional imbalances can be
addressed as well as Chinese Medicine is holistic and comprehensive.
Thanks for your receptive response to my first newsletter, I
intend to keep them up. Please feel free to forward this to others, and I hope to
see you soon! And, check out the special offer at the bottom of this email.
Best to You, and in Good Health,
Beth

 Acupuncture and the
Treatment of Pain
Chinese Medicine is a comprehensive medicine and can address
almost anything that ails you. This
being said it is probably most well known for the treatment of pain. There are various scientific theories put forth as to
why this is so and there
are probably a number of mechanisms at work. Some of the most recent research has identified that acupuncture deactivates
pathways in the brain that govern pain. To learn

Patent Herb: Curin Wan
Most Chinese herbal formulas require a prescription from a
qualified practitioner before they are wise for a lay person to take. Not so
with Curin Wan (also known as Pill Curing,
Healthy Quiet Pills and various other names depending on the manufacturer). This herbal combination is very safe and effective and is a
great addition to your medicine cabinet.
It is indicated for acute digestive disturbances, whether
that be an intestinal flu, food poisoning, abdominal cramping and bloat, pain
and difficulty passing stools, diarrhea, stomach upset, gas, and motion
sickness. It is also mild and safe enough to use with morning sickness and can
be used for headache related to digestive difficulties.
Any practitioner of Chinese Medicine will likely have them
available. You can also find them at
Chinese grocery stores and for sale on the web.
Good luck with it and let me know how it goes!

US Military Approves the Use of
Acupuncture for Pain
This is a great development considering the military is
quite a conservative institution (to say the least). They are looking for what works, though, and
is simple and cost effective. They are
also investigating the use of acupuncture for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,
more on this in future newsletters. For
more information
