Nervous
System Overload
By
Dr. Daoshing Ni
Do you feel anxious every morning because you feel you have too much to
do? Do you feel anxious at night because you failed to accomplish all
that you set out to do? Does worrying about things keep you awake at
night? Do you frequently run out of time in the day to exercise or look
after your health? Do you feel like a "slave" to your life
circumstances and not the "master"?
If you answer yes to many of these questions, you may be suffering
from an overloaded nervous system or what we often call Life Overload
Syndrome. It is usually due to your daily activities putting too much
stress on your nervous system and causing you to feel imbalance and
stressed all the time.

Treating Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome with Acupuncture: Let the Energy Flow
By Mark Giuliucci
It's
all about the chi.
For thousands of years, practitioners of Chinese medicine have believed
that blockages in the body's "life energy" — chi — are responsible for
illness and disease. Acupuncture and other traditional Chinese
treatments seek to restore the natural flow of chi and return the body
to harmony.
Yet you don't have to believe in ancient theory to believe in the power
of acupuncture. Many Western researchers contend that acupuncture's
benefits can be explained in their terms.

Mistranslation
of Chi
By James Lee
The ancient Chinese once thought that Chi was the
micro-substance that makes up all the matter in the universe. Thus, the term Chi
has a great influence in Tradition Chinese Medicine (TCM). The term Chi has many
meanings depending on the context in which it’s being used. For example, Chi by
itself means air. However, in Chi Kung, we are involved in breathing methods.
Therefore, Chi means breathing in this context. Thus, Chi Kung is an ultimate
breathing method.

ASK THE DOCTOR
Q:
Can you suggest some herbs for inflammation of my lower
back? It's killing me.
A:
If this is an emergency, please call 911. Any health
care facility would give you that advice. First of all, we must
follow the first rule in TCM: make a thorough diagnosis before giving the
patient an herbal medicine....
