- Aging, Beauty & HairChinese herbal medicine is not reserved for treating illness and disease. In fact, many Chinese herbal formulas were created to enhance wellbeing, promote longevity, and even help us look and feel more beautiful. At Best Chinese Medicine, we believe in investing in our long-term health and beauty the herbal, natural way! Chinese Medicine Basics Chinese medicine takes a holistic view when it comes to beauty and aging gracefully. No beauty treatment in Chinese medicine is solely surface level! There are many things to consider, as our body’s imbalances and stressors often show up first in our face and overall vitality. Excess and Deficiency: Excess symptoms – oily skin, breakouts, cystic acne, irritations Deficiency symptoms – sagging skin, wrinkles, dryness Yin or Yang: Yang: deep, painful blemishes, redness, dryness, Yin: sagging, oiliness, puffiness Blood quality: Blood nourishes the entire body and heals our wounds. This is just as important a job in the face and skin as it is with our bones, muscles, and organs. Healthy circulation keeps our skin hydrated, clear, and youthful while slowing the aging process. Main Organ Systems: All systems: Chinese medicine takes all organ systems into account when looking at the face, as each organ pertains…
- Allergies, Asthma & Respiratory CareChinese medicine provides natural relief for respiratory issues like allergies, asthma, allergic rhinitis, sinus infections, cough, wheezing, bronchitis, and more. Chinese Medicine Basics As with all conditions, Chinese medicine takes a close look at both the symptoms and the root problem behind our respiratory issues. While we usually notice the strength of our symptoms (like a runny nose, itchy eyes, cough, or chest pain), it is common for issues like allergies and asthma to have a root weakness. To heal our Lungs, we must address both! Here are some common basics: Excess and Deficiency: Excess symptoms – phlegm, mucus, tightness, pain Deficient root – lack of energy, weak immune system, poor digestion Yin or Yang: Yang: thick, yellow phlegm, tight chest, fever, hot constitution Yin: thin, watery mucus, chills, cold constitution Main Organ Systems: Lung: In Chinese medicine, the Lung controls the lungs themselves, the nose, and the sinuses. To treat respiratory conditions, the Lung is a main target for healing. Spleen: The Spleen is responsible for maintaining our energy levels and immune health. Because weakened energy (qi) tends to be a root issue, the Spleen is also an important organ system in respiratory conditions. A weak Spleen system can…

- Arthritis & Joint PainArthritis and joint pain effects over 23% of all adults in the United States. This condition typically occurs when years of overuse begin to wear at the protective layers of the joints, which later results in pain, weakness, and poor mobility. While arthritis may be considered a natural part of the aging process, there are many natural solutions to relieving joint pain and improving arthritic conditions. Chinese Medicine Basics In Chinese medicine, arthritis pain is referred to as “bi syndrome,” a painful condition that attacks the bones and joints. Just as in Western medicine, Chinese medicine works to help relieve joint pain by reducing inflammation, but goes even further to restore the health of the tissues to prevent further damage. Weather and Arthritis: Arthritis sufferers often claim that they can predict the weather with their pain. This is due to the direct effect weather (especially cold fronts, dampness, rain, and wind) has on our bones and joints. The 4 Types of Arthritis: Zuo Bi: This type of arthritis, or bi, feels heavy and numb and is a caused by dampness. Re Bi: This type is sharp and painful and often involves swelling. Xing Bi: This type is not fixed to…
- Back Pain & SciaticaBack pain is one of the leading causes of pain, discomfort, missed work, and insomnia. A third of our population in the US suffers from back pain that affects daily life, and up to 80% of us will experience back pain in some way during our lives. Thankfully, surgeries and pain medications are not the only way to treat pain. Chinese medicine offers natural, effective, and strengthening treatments to help banish back pain and sciatica. Chinese Medicine Basics Back pain and sciatica can be very different experiences, but they are related in some ways to a Chinese medicine practitioner. Both result from one common issue – a lack of flow. A common saying in Chinese medicine says, “With movement, there is no pain. With pain, there is no movement.” When there is a blockage or stagnant flow of blood, fluids, or energy (qi), pain will occur. Stagnation and lack of flow is present in all cases of pain, but the source of this stagnation varies. Yin or Yang: Yang: hot, inflamed, sharp or burning pain Yin: cold, dull aching or severe pain Qi and Blood: Qi: When qi stops flowing properly through the back or legs, pain can occur. This…
