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.

What is the definition of perverse energy in five element acupuncture

  In Five Element Acupuncture, the term "perverse energy" refers to an abnormal or disharmonious flow of energy within the body and its meridians (energy channels). It represents an imbalance or disruption in the natural circulation of Qi (vital energy) through the elemental pathways. Perverse energy can manifest in various ways, such as excessive or stagnant energy, energy flowing in the wrong direction, or energy being blocked or dispersed improperly. It is considered to be a deviation from the healthy and balanced flow of energy that supports overall well-being. When perverse energy occurs, it can disrupt the functioning of organs, meridians, and the mind, leading to physical symptoms, emotional imbalances, and a general sense of unwellness.
