Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Adventures in Herbalism ! Being in the natural Health field - I get asked all kinds of questions . It is important to note that we do not diagnose , or treat disease . What we do mostly is Nutritional counselling . Question - I eat right , plenty of fresh fruits and vegies , drink plenty of pure water , take food enzymes , exercise , have regular bowel movements ,food water sleep balanced - yet still feel tired and rundown . answer - the Chinese teach that for the Chi to be balanced all things must be working together . We Americans recognise the symbol of the ying and the yang - simply means balance . With that in mind lets re-examine the question , diet looks good , water pure - that great . OK - those two items look good - but there is something most people miss - What about air ? are we Breathing good clean air? Chinese Alternative medicine teaches that we receive energy from the air we breathe . You can live a couple of days with out food and water . But can not live more than 2 or 3 minutes without air . Breathing poor quality air can shorten your life , cause chronic disease , take away from your quality of life , in short make your life miserable ! The cause of feeling tired and run down just may be a lack of oxygen - fresh air . According to the EPA , The air inside your home or office has up to 10 times higher concentration of harmful pollutants than outdoor air . While this may surprise you- consider this list of possible contaminates in your home or office . 1. Bacteria and mold . Mildew bacteria viruses, dust from air vents . 2. Toxic or poisonous vapours - avoid using pesticides - now linked to ALS , and cancer . Remember if it kill the bugs - it will kill you . - Attacks the central nervous system . 3. Household cleaners - can be very toxic - chlorine gas . 4. dust mites , allergens . 5. off gasses from paint wallpaper , wood varnish, carpet , vinyl floor covering , chlorine gas from tap water . Doctors and scientist and Natural health professionals are now linking many serious health problems to the growing number of contaminates we breathe . Is you families health being threatened by the air inside your home . Probably ! How many cancer causing agents are we breathing in daily ?Did you know that we are exposed to more Toxins in 15 minutes , than our great grand parents in their entire life . This one of the reasons the cancer rate is skyrocketing - in my opinion . Does any one in your home suffer from allergies , asthma,breathing problems ,sinus or ear infections , nasal congestion , headaches , skin or eye irritations ? Could it be that the air you are breathing dailey is the cause ? Think about it , our homes are sealed tightly to make them energy efficient. So where does the fresh indoor air come from ? If you sleep in a closed room , say 12 X 12 - how long does it take for the oxygen to be depleted - wake up still tired ? The Answer may be you need good clean air in your home ! The fastest way to get the whole family sick is to circulate sick air through the heat vents in your house . The same aplys at work , somebody gets a cold , and every body in the building gets sick . Airborne ! Chinese herbal medicine teaches that you need good clean air , to combat any chronic condition . Pure food - Pure water - Pure Air .
