The erratic weather has made some people sick... If you have a sore throat, go to any chinese medicinal hall and ask for a remedy for sore throat, containing "qian1 zhang1 zhi3", bumblebee and plums.

When you buy cordyceps, make sure you're buying from a reputable medicinal hall. There have been known imitations containing LEAD in the cordyceps, as sellers try to increase the weight of the cordyceps and earn more by selling less.

Herbs - Traditionally, herbs have been administered in a number of different forms. They have been boiled in water and taken as a tea, made into pills, tinctures, powders, and as topical plasters. Today, herbal companies have developed other forms (capsules, tablets, granule teas, tinctures) that are more convenient and palatable. Over 1,000 herbs are used in TCM. They are overwhelmingly used in formulas rather than individually.
Acupuncture -- Using very thin, disposable needles, the TCM practitioner will place needles at specific points on the body in order to rebalance and unblock the flow of Qi (vital energy). Used to treat both symptoms and the underlying condition, acupuncture is a powerful medicinal form. When used in conjunction with herbs, acupuncture will strengthen and expedite treatment. The needle insertion feels something like a mosquito bite. Many people find the experience of receiving acupuncture relaxing and pleasurable.
Moxibustion -- Often combined with acupuncture, moxibustion entails the use of bundles of dried mugwort in the form of a cone or stick. The bundles are burned, like incense, and placed at specific points on the body. Moxibustion has numerous functions, including warming the Qi of the body in order to increase its flow.
Tuina -- A kind of external manipulation employing over a dozen different techniques such as stroking, kneading, rubbing, pressing, knocking, and vibrating, including many of those techniques used in Shiatsu and acupressure massage. Tuina is often used as an alternative to acupuncture. It is based on general TCM theories, including the use of channels and points. Tuina is excellent for both tonifying (strengthening the body's resistance) as well as eliminating pathogenic factors.
Tai Qi -- Literally translates as "supreme ultimate," Tai Qi is practiced throughout China. There are many forms of Tai Qi, each consisting of a set of fluid movements that help balance the flow of Qi in the body, calm the Shen or mind, and promote good health.
Qi Gong -- Literally translates as "Qi cultivation," Qi Gong is comprised of static and moving exercises that enable the practitioner to strengthen and rebalance Qi. Qi Gong can take the form of a ritualized daily exercise like Tai Qi or can be executed by a medical practitioner in order to heal patients. -

really?Originally posted by the Bear:mooku, antelopes shed their antlers annually
hee. i dunno mah. [oh dear.]
I mean, I didn't know. When I was younger, I heard that it was cruelty to the poor antelopes because their antlers were sawed off, leaving them defenceless.
How do they shed them? You mean they just fall off naturally and grow new ones? -
