The Chinese Herb Health & Longevity Show

In this episode, Dr. George and John and I talk about formulas for Qi and Blood.

Qi is considered the “Commander” of Blood and Blood is the “Mother” of Qi, so these two systems are related and that is why we discuss them together.

We recommend taking herbs every day because tonic herbalism focuses on protecting against disharmony and preventing deficiency.

If we are proactive and stay on top of our health, we can stay in balance as much as possible and achieve ongoing health and wellness. If, for whatever reason (usually stress of some kind), we lose balance, then tonic herbs also help bring us back into alignment.

This episode will shed light on various formulas that help to maintain this balance and also address those times when we might feel a lack of energy or weakness in the body.

Some of the formulas we go into detail about include: The 4 Gentlemen, Ginseng & Astragalus, and Ginseng & Longan, describing the activity, purpose and proportion of each of the ingredients, and how they move various energies in the body.

We talk about who benefits most from each of these formulas and also offer tips on how best to integrate a new formula into your existing routine.

Listen to this podcast now to learn why tonic herbs and formulas for Qi and Blood help to raise your vibration, and assist you in making better choices on a daily basis!

This is Dr. George and in our latest podcast, John and I delve deeper into the theory behind building optimally balanced formulas according to classical Chinese medicine.

We start off with Jing formulas, the most important being Rehmannia 6. Rehmannia 6 is an incredibly important “Mother” formula based on which many other formulas have been created.

  • Which six ingredients make up this powerful formula and specifically what does each one do in the body?
  • How much of each ingredient is represented in a standard dose?
  • How can the base formula be modified to address things like excess heat or dryness?
  • How would you know which formula variation is right for your specific situation…including geography?

In this podcast we answer all these questions, including even what time of day is best to take the different variations of Jing formulas in order to achieve their best effect, and understanding how to find a great kidney point on the body that you can press to help tonify kidney energy.

Rehmannia grows in parts of north and northeastern China, and is the main ingredient in the Rehmannia 6 formula. It has been used successfully in Chinese medicine for over 2,000 years, primarily to treat yin deficiency.

In Asia, Rehmannia has been used for many conditions including: allergies, high blood pressure, anemia, constipation, cancer, diabetes, fever, eczema, bacterial and fungal infections, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, insomnia, and pain relief.

In this episdode, Dr. George and John start a discussion, which we will expand on later, about the theory behind developing Chinese herbal formulations.

Have you ever wondered why certain herbs are put together to make a formula? Perhaps you wanted to understand better how to make formulas yourself that are specific for your individual program.

This information can even help you build an amazing tonic elixir beverage that suits your particular needs on any given day.

Putting different herbs together in a formula is not a random process. How many herbs are too many? What is the appropriate dosage of herbs in a formula?

There’s so much wisdom and tradition that goes into each and every formulation and by listening to this podcast (and also some special upcoming episodes) you can start to gain better insight into this respected tradition.
