Chinese Herbalism
Chinese herbalism is the system of herbal healthcare developed
in Asia over the last 5,000 or more years. It is based on the
Great Principle of Yin and Yang and upon the principle of the
Three Treasures, as well as upon many other related principles.
It is the most sophisticated herbal system in the world. Today,
there are almost than 5,000 species of herbs and plants used in
Chinese herbalism. Chinese herbalism may include herbal
substances found in other parts of the world. For instance,
Agaricus mushroom is now an important part of Chinese herbalism,
even though it was originally discovered in the Brazilian
rainforest. American Ginseng is one of the most important herbs
used in Chinese herbalism, even though it originated in North
America.
Chinese herbalism is divided into different types of practice.
Superior herbalism promotes radiant health and longevity.
General herbalism is preventative. Inferior herbalism treats
disease after it has occurred. In general, Chinese herbalism, at
least theoretically, and as practiced by tonic herbalists,
emphasizes the superior herbalism. This system is what
distiguishes Chinese herbalism from Western herbalism, which
still focuses most of its attention on remedial practice.
Chinese tonic herbalism is the aspect of Chinese herbalism that
focuses on building radiant health and achieving longevity and
happiness.
