Thanks for this! Really interesting. I stopped having my period around 35 so almost ten years now. 😳

[@nashiaanzar7497]

❤ Thanks

[@RealZayComo]

Can you do a male version as well when you get some free time ? 🙏

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

I don't have any free time :) ...all my time is expensive and allocated, but I will make time to do this, its a great topic :) thanks for your interest in Chinese medicine

[@RealZayComo]

@@chinesemedicinepodcast yes I understand, you are a very knowledgeable women I’m sure you are very busy but ok that’s great I’m looking forward to it, thank you 😀🙏👌💪

[@rachelsweets]

Thank you ❤❤❤

Oh. Which herbs for heart fire. Insomnia . Males. Thank you.

[@petraszilagyi]

How would this relate as a person in their mid 30s who a few years back had a hysterectomy (due to large fibroid tumors and heavy bleeding for a year)? The hysterectomy was abdominal surgery, as fibroids were to large to bring through v canal. Been struggling with low yang since.

Very interesting video. So it seems like TCM has a tendency toward allopathy -- IE treating the symptom and not the root cause

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

What makes you think that?

[@SpiceBear]

@chinesemedicinepodcast I meant that TCM seems somewhat allopathic, not CCM. So for the instances of damp heat and heart-fire, you mentioned that TCM gives cooling herbs, which alleviates symptoms temporarily. Whereas CCM gives warm/hot herbs to support/guide the body's yang. Definitely seems like CCM has the more root cause approach. I just went to a Chinese herbalist today (pretty sure tcm). She gave me an instruction sheet that says "If the tea tastes bad, your tongue is working" 😁😂

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

@@SpiceBearyes you are on the right track here. But TCM dosent think they are treating just the symptoms with the cooling herbs! they think /are taught they are treating the root (the heat). if its like a yin qiao san for a sore throat for example thats taken from a different system (Wen bing) that thinks heat direclty invades the body so its needed to be cleared, while the shang han lun system sees that heat as the bodies own yang coming up to the throat and dosen't 'clear it' like that...yes some 'cooling' herbs are used in the shang han lun but not as many, or often. hope thats helpful (FYI the shang han lun is the text of the han dynasty central to the practice of classical herbal medicine)

[@SpiceBear]

@@chinesemedicinepodcast I hate to ask but do you think you could help me find a CCM practitioner near me?

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

if I know one, yes. you can email me your country/area/suburb - [e-mail] is the best one

[@savagebunny1440]

Thanks for the video. Bit late to the party srry. Does applying external heat sources like a heat pack or deep heat in the kidney area do anything to build Yang. Thnx

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

acupuncturists use Moxa / Moxibustion to build yang. so in theory yes, but I think the application of the heat needs to be dry heat/ infa-red heat, targeted heat at the acu points rather than generalized heat. if you are seeing an acupuncturist, they may be able to show you /teach you how to use self-moxa. its something that can be done in self use but you need proper training otherwise the risk of burning yourself is higher

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

also this is a great question :)

[@savagebunny1440]

​@chinesemedicinepodcast oh awesome thank you. Yes they did moxibustion on the bottom of my foot. Kidney point. I think I could do that too. Thank you 🙏

Hi Marie will magnesium help moisten the bowel over a period of time if taken regularly ?

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

it does seem to moisten dryness. Foods that can do this would be a teaspoon of hemp seed oil / crushed hemp seed in food, a day, as needed , - first thing (i.e. best one to try), if cant get that try sesame oil.

[@lisaolivia8300]

@chinesemedicinepodcast so a teaspoon of hempseed oil everyday plus add crushed hempseed to food everyday?

[@lisaolivia8300]

@@chinesemedicinepodcast am I best getting hemp seeds in the shell or de shelled ?

[@chinesemedicinepodcast]

@@lisaolivia8300 NOT BOTH, either of these, both wouldn't be necessary... you could start with one or the other and see how your bowels go, if good you wouldn't need more of it. If not, you could add another teaspoon of either and go from there. This is generic info and not a prescription to you individually. I am recommending you speak to your own TCM /CM practitioner about the utility of foods as medicine.

[@lisaolivia8300]

I've ordered the oil, hopefully it makes a difference. Thank you for your help 🙏 😊
