» Stress
Thank you for filling the questionnaire and it is my pleasure to discuss
the issue you mentioned in your paper. Of course anxiety is a very delicate
condition that must be looked from many angles. A recent survey showed
that 70-90% of us feel stressed at work and outside. Stress is easy to
lead to problems in central nervous system, cardiovascular system, digestive
system, respiratory system, musculoskeletal system, and immune system,
endocrine and reproductive system. There are several ways to manage stress.
Traditional Chinese medicine is very effective to stress. It looks into
your over all health condition not only as prescribing drugs; for example
the use of meditation, you may start with 5 minutes a day. Every day try
to isolate yourself and slowly focus on your breathing. Take deep breaths
and try to slow down the heart bit. If you start with 5 to 10 minutes a
day and build up to half an hour a day you will feel the difference. For
calming down we also recommend you to take long walks and be as close to
nature as you possibly can. If you live in the city, try to get away. Urban
life is a stress oriented “way of life”, that certainly aggravates
your condition. Try to regularly have a “ nature time” at the
sea side , in the mountains …. But get away from the cities. This
is a must. You must reconnect to nature, ultimately with yourself.
You should cut down immediately on all dairy products, including milk and creams; also if you can try to cut down on red meat.
A diet with fresh mixed vegetables, mushrooms with lots of garlic, and cut down on starches and the use of bread and sandwiches. Also many fresh fruits are good for you as the natural sugar has many benefits to the brain that is needed when the stress levels are high.
We highly recommend you stop drinking the English tea, which is highly industrialized and try for a few weeks the use of pure Chinese Tea, pure with no added sugar or milk. Oolong , Puerh are both excellent to give you an over all general balance. If you try you will notice the difference. Teas are a first step to this new way of balancing your health.
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses various treatment modalities, including acupuncture, moxibustion (applying heat to the skin), cupping (applying suction to the skin), gua sha (scraping the skin), massage, dietary and lifestyle recommendations, exercise and stress-reduction techniques, and herbal medicine.
Herbs used in Traditional Chinese Medicine include the following: American Ginseng, Asian Ginseng, Astragalus, Bitter Melon, Bupleurum, Chinese Scullcap, Corydalis, Dong Quai, Eleuthero, Fo-ti, Garlic, Ginger, Ginkgo biloba, Green Tea, Licorice, Ligustrum, Maitake, Reishi, Schisandra, Shiitake.
The reality is that many of the drugs that you have taken, as you well know have serious side effects and long term implications. The Chinese approach may be slower , but offers no side effects , and it will allow you to look for a way , to feel better not only when you take a “ drug “ but to precisely allow you to let your body to be free from drugs and replace and produce the chemicals that you need naturally.
