Fu Zheng therapy

Medical researchers in China found that Fu Zheng therapy (or Fu Zhen therapy) helped to protect the immune system from damage resulting from chemotherapy or radiation. This, in turn, helped to increase cancer survival rates. Fu Zheng therapy also helps to control pain, improve overall quality of life and has, in some cases, stopped the spread of cancer within the body.
Here are some of the key Chinese herbs used in Fu Zheng therapy:
  • Astragalus is noted for its immune-building effects.

  • Atractylodes increases white blood cells.

  • Codonopsis enhances the growth of red blood cells, assists in T-cell formation, and increases the level of antibodies in the blood.

  • Ganoderma strengthens T-cell and macrophage function (both are types of white blood cell).

  • Ginseng may be responsible for killing cancer cells.

  • Ligustrum is used in cases of rapid deterioration of the body.

According to several studies carried out in China, Western cancer therapies prove to be more effective when used in conjunction with Fu Zheng therapy.

New research reveals that acupuncture prevents brain cell loss in memory areas of the brain. The new laboratory findings also show that acupuncture improves cognition. The researchers note that these findings suggest that acupuncture is a potential treatment for cognitive impairment disorders and Alzheimer’s disease.

The hippocampus is one of the first regions of the brain that suffers damage in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Using the Morris water maze test, the middle-aged mice used in the study who received acupuncture showed significantly less cognitive deficits. The combination of improved maze test results combined with greater preservation of brain neurons prompted the researchers to suggest that acupuncture may help human subjects suffering from cognitive disorders. The researchers note, “Thes...

whispered shadow,

 T he eternal dance between yin and yang. Yin, the whispered shadow, the elusive essence that cradles the soul in its tender embrace. A murmur of quietude, a recess of contemplation, yin resides as the dormant womb from whence all life finds its genesis. And then yang, the unrelenting vitality, the surge of fervor that propels the spirit forth. It blazes in the zenith sun, an unrestrained crescendo of existence. Yang is the crescendo of action, the fervid call to movement and assertion, the pulse of life's heartbeat echoing through the corridors of time. This dance, this ceaseless intertwining, as intricate as the inner workings of the mind, as elaborate as the stories spun through the ages. It is a dance of harmony, where yin and yang find their equilibrium, where the symphony of life attains its most harmonious chord.
