Drink More Water to Reduce Stress Says Chinese Medicine Practitioner on Sharon Kleyne Hour

Drink More Water to Reduce Stress Says Chinese Medicine Practitioner on Sharon Kleyne Hour










Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) June 19, 2014

Psychological stress can cause the human body to lose water and become dehydrated and diseased. Conversely, physical dehydration, or loss of water, can cause psychological stress. Because of the complex relationship between stress and water, any treatment for dehydration or stress must include drinking more water, reported Chinese Medicine Practitioner and presidential appointee Effie Chow, PhD, during her June 16, 2014 interview on the Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water radio show.

Effie Chow was born in China and grew up in a traditional family. After moving to the United States, she became a registered nurse. Although she supported Western medical practice, she concluded that Traditional Chinese Medicine, particularly Qi-Gong, had enormous potential value in maintaining health. Chow is Founder of the East-West Academy of Healing Arts in San Francisco, has authored several books, and in 2000, served on President Clinton’s White House Conference on Complimentary and Alternative Medicine.

The globally syndicated Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water® radio show, with host Sharon Kleyne, is heard on VoiceAmerica and Apple iTunes. Kleyne is Founder of Bio Logic Aqua Research, a fresh water, atmosphere and health research, and product development center. Natures Tears® EyeMist®, a 100% pure water mist, is the Research Center’s global signature product for dry eyes. Effie Chow is a frequent Sharon Kleyne Hour guest.

In the traditional Chinese healing discipline of “Qi-gong,” according to Chow, water is one of the “Five Elements of Life.” The others are earth, fire, wood and metal. Qi-Gong philosophy teaches that each element controls a different part of the body and a different emotion, and that water is the element that integrates all other elements and prevents dehydration. The organs most directly affected by water are the kidneys and bladder.

The words “Qi-gong,” Chow explains, mean “life force.” Since life on Earth can not exist without water, and since human bodies are 75 percent water, water is recognized in Qi-gong as the basis not only of all life but of the essential life force that sustains life.

A large percentage of her patients, says Chow, show symptoms of both emotional stress and physical dehydration in addition to their health complaints. Kleyne adds that the aging process is basically a dehydration process – the skin becomes thin and dry, the mouth produces less saliva, the eyes produce fewer tears, etc. Chow and Kleyne agree that increasing one’s daily water intake can significantly slow the aging process. Kleyne cautions that no two people are alike, we each have different water needs, and we all age differently.

Chow recommends drinking four glasses of water upon rising in the morning and Kleyne recommends drinking at least eight glasses per day in addition to all other fluid intake.

Traditional Chinese Medicine, according to Chow, always includes looking at the general health of the whole body and finding out what’s going on in the patient’s life. If the patient complains of a cold, Kleyne adds, the practitioner can treat the cold symptoms but should also investigate whether the patient’s lifestyle might be making them more susceptible to colds. Dehydration can increases susceptibility to colds and many other diseases.

Qi-gong teaches that the body is a microcosm or the Earth and the Universe, Chow explains. The body even has its own humid atmosphere, says Kleyne.. If the body dries out, the skin reacts the same way the skin of the Earth reacts – the surface dries up, life slows down, and it takes much longer for disturbances to repair themselves. Disturbances in both the body and in the Earth’s ecosystems have a domino effect that can result in many additional unintended disturbances.

And the cure could be as simple as an extra glass of water each day.

Western Consumers Seek Wellbeing in Online Chinese Herbal Medicine Store








Torrance, CA (PRWEB) September 24, 2008

Since its founding in 2004, sales at online retailer Chinese Herbs Direct have increased some 50% each year. The business carries over 20 different lines of Chinese herbal formulas, making it the largest store for such products on the Internet — a title it will likely retain for the foreseeable future as new herbal medicines are being added to the website each month.

Key to the success of Chinese Herbs Direct is strong demand for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) among U.S. consumers, many of whom are aware that western drugs are often designed based on extracts from natural herbs like those used in TCM. Further strengthening the case for TCM’s effectiveness in consumer minds is the fact that these traditional herbal formulas have been refined through centuries of use, and are still being used by hundreds of millions of Chinese today.

Strong demand by itself does not generate sales, however; a supply of product that meets consumer needs in precise fashion is needed. Chinese Herbs Direct has created just such a supply by carefully listening to its customers, and by providing them with good information about the herbal formulations it sells.

The company’s early research revealed that some western consumers hesitate to buy China-made herbal formulations because of manufacturing quality concerns. Rather than trying to change a hardened consumer perception, the owners of Chinese Herbs Direct located a GMP-certified factory in the U.S. capable of mixing herbal formulas. Using raw herbs grown in both the U.S. and China, the factory now makes the website’s exclusive “Advanced Formula” line of traditional Chinese medicines, which are sold alongside the company’s traditional branded formulas from China.

Chinese Herbs Direct management also realized early on that consumers were frustrated by lack of good information on the Internet about traditional Chinese herbal remedies. Still another communication-related complaint was about Chinese labeling, which consumers often found difficult to understand. In response, Chinese Herbs direct dedicates itself to providing quality information about Chinese herbal formulas. The site maintains a clearly-written reference section about various herbs, herbal formulations and herbal treatments. In addition, all CHD products use US-styled, FDA-compliant labeling.

Zachary Ling, founder of Chinese Herbs Direct, says, “As indicated by our extremely rapid growth, U.S. consumer demand for alternative, Eastern herbal formulas is quite high. The bulk of CHD’s sales now come from repeat, happy customers, though we continue to get hundreds of new daily visits from consumers new to the world of Chinese herbs.”

Based on his experience with CHD, Ling has now launched herbal niche business in the hard-to-find areas of Ayurvedic Herbs and Pet Herbs. The two sites, ayurvedicherbsdirect.com and petherbsdirect.com, are already experiencing healthy growth.
