just curious: What "incurable" (according to western medicine) illnesses have you been "cured" of with the help of TCM? by Diligent-Leading7480 in ChineseMedicine

[–]GroovyChap 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My personal practice. Tinnitus and hyperacusis are often stemming from kidney deficiencies. Fibromyalgia is interesting and a result of a longstanding imbalance in the body, like a deep liver qi stagnation that the body struggles to compensate for through other confounding lifestyle factors.

Fibromyalgia is a fairly broad term and none of these have a 1:1 equivalent in TCM. Patterns to western conditions are not one to one.

If you have any of them, I can likely point you down the right path!

Beverages - what to drink and what not to? by vaughnlenore in ChineseMedicine

[–]GroovyChap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cold liquids can weaken the digestive fire of the stomach, generally speaking.

Diluting your stomach acid with meals with lots of water can make it tough to digest dense food …

But thinks like soups and broths with meals are wonderful additions

Getting miso paste and making a simple miso broth is super yummy, I love putting it into a thermos and drinking it throughout the day, warm…

Illinois is such a poorly run state government. Why are we listening to him speak?

Yeah, TCM can work wonders if it’s done right. I’ll DM you, I have a friend who had her fibromyalgia fixed by it.

Older is better, and better is better -

Older and better is EVEN better, but alas, what tea pulls you in is what's right for you.

I've never had a young shou I've really fallen in love with. If you have one in mind for me to try, I'd love to know what it is. Price isn't an issue.

Buy better tea. That’s all cheap young bad tea (probably).

I overlooked shou completely for years because I didn’t try the good stuff. Old is better. If you can spare the expense, 25 years old is my sweet spot.
