FLU or COLD – - A Chinese herbal prescription.
A flu or cold usually goes away in a few days if you rest enough and drink a lot of water. However, the herbal prescription will help you recover faster, especially if you have a stubborn cough. It also reduces all the discomforts of the flu while you are recovering.

For elders, kids, or those who are weak, don’t wait for the flu to go away by itself. Take the herbs to end the flu sooner and prevent it from degenerating into something serious like bronchitis or pneumonia.

The prescription should be written according to what kind of symptoms the patient has, and the severity of those symptoms:
1) Fever or high temperature
Lian Qiao
Huang Qin
Zhi Zi
Di Gu Pi
2) Cough, phlegm and nasal congestion
Chuan Bei Mu
Sang Bai Pi
Qing Pi
Zi Su Ye
Pi Pa Ye
3) Indigestion requiring mild purging
Zhi Shi
Fan Xie Ye
4) Weak respiratory system (depending on the patient)
Bai Bu
Zi Wan
A combination of 13 herbs are recommended.

There are other symptoms requiring no treatment, because they will go away automatically when the flu is reduced, e.g. tiredness, aches and pains, or lack of appetite. These symptoms are your body’s natural reaction to the flu. It would be a mistake if herbs are prescribed to lessen those symptoms. Why? Those symptoms all require strengthening herbs which are “hot” in nature. The herbs you use for the flu have to be “cold” in nature. Thus you would create a conflict in your prescription. This conflict would result in lessening the overall effect of the herb package, and even worse, prolonging the flu. If those symptoms still remain after the flu is gone, something else is wrong and should be treated from a different angle by strengthening the body.

Drink one to two cups (8 oz each) of herb tea a day.
Chinese herbs are very effective in reducing the various discomforts of the flu and shortening its hold on you.
Most flu patients need less than five days of herbs to completely recover.
While you recover from the flu, remember to rest, drink more water, eat light meals, and avoid greasy, peppery, deep-fried and barbecued food.

This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:
* Severity and nature of the symptoms based on observation and discussion of the problem with the herbalist.
* How weak is your body and how much herbs you need to help you fight the flu.

Therapeutic gemstones, a unique form of energy medicine, can help with natural weight loss. Therapeutic gems are an alternative therapy that help a person to lose weight naturally without harmful side effects.

Ideally, a weight loss plan helps you create a healthier way to live and enables you to become more energized and full of life. A healthy plan not only helps you lose weight effectively, but also works with your body to address the underlying causes of weight gain, so you keep the weight off. Therapeutic gemstones are natural and effective tools for supporting a healthy weight loss plan. They can help relieve craving, stimulate metabolism, and increase energy.

Unhealthy weight gain has become a worldwide issue. Today one in three adults on our planet is overweight, and one in ten is obese. Weight gain is such an epidemic that health experts have even coined a term for it: “globesity.”

In the past, most people didn’t have access to as many high-calorie foods as we now do, and life required much more physical exertion. With the comforts of modern living, we have the doubtful luxury of getting heavier than ever. Yet, for our health and well-being, we need to stay slim. The good news is that, for someone who is overweight, even a small amount of weight loss can make a major difference in the healthy functioning of every part of the body.

In my practice as a naturopathic physician, I’ve found some surprising and effective tools for supporting progress toward healthy weight. I often recommend using therapeutic gemstones. These gems produce consistent and often remarkable results. Simply by wearing therapeutic gems around your neck, you can experience continual support from the gems’ healing energies.
