The problem with herbal remedies is that it is impossible to control for the exact quantities of the components. The chemicals in a mint leaf that are helpful will vary from leaf to leaf making exact dosage impossible.
Modern Medicine distills the herbs down to those active components and allows for precise dosages to be created.
not necessarily. Just as there are good car manufacturers and lemon makers, there are good reputable herb suppliers and there are third rate dealers. This same goes for the storage. Also, if one knows herbs one knows that each herb has it’s ideal place of growth – an herb may grow better in a high altitude area than at sea level, etc. Others need damp dark caves to grow well.
I somewhat agree with grandprix but i think that herbs do have benefits for your body. Maybe not in the same way as “prescribed” by TCM doctors (take this and you’re flu will go away.. etc)… but i still think its healthy to take herbs
The biggest problem is that those chinese pots that hold the herbs are probably made in factories that are polluted which means the herbs are tainted. If you are true hippie/holistic believer, you would be growing those herbs in your backyard.
you’re a typical westerner who thinks science only exists in the west. please read up on history and history will have you know that the east were WAY advanced in medicine in ancient times. there is a science to TCM if you bother to read up about it. dumb fuck.
Mythology, just like your “facts”? Like how “99.9%” of american drugs are herb-based? Unless you’re going to back up your insults with viable facts, don’t bother trying to act like they’re justified. The last thing I need is some high schooler pulling crap out of their ass just because its what you think is sceience, when it’s obvious you have no idea what the scientific process is.
I just gave you books full of scientific research performed by western doctors. You’re just as bad as that other guy- so convinced your own opinion is right without any real evidence. Do you care to back up your insults with facts? Or is it just “common sense”?
You obviously have no idea what Science means, or is.
Chinese “medicine” is devoid of it for a start – just like you of common sense.
Get conned if you like. Your loss.
Expensive mythology.

think you should go do some research. Here are some good books on the subject.

RESEARCH: Science wouldn’t be anywhere without it
..their primary pharmaceuticals- including germany! Many plants/plant derivatives are highly effective against many forms of disease- for example? Morphine is a plant derivative, and is among the strongest of painkillers. Reserpine(An exotic plant) is used as a powerful sedative in mental health institutes today the worldover. So to brush off chinese medicine, a subject with tomes and tomes of scientifically tested and proven effectiveness, simply because you think “they haven’t been tested”, I
That statement isn’t exactly accurate. Maybe.. 20% of currently used drugs are manufactured with plant derivatives. Actually the vast majority of them contain -mox derivatives(Mold spores of a sort; as an antibiotic), animal hormones(Usually for treating mood, sleep and hormonal disorders) or synthetic chemicals(everything else). Plants are generally only used in very menial diseases in the continental US, such as headcolds, minor infections and fever. Though 81% of the world over uses plants as
Pills have NOT destroyed the nation. Fantasist.
For your information 99.9% of all Western medical drugs are derived from plants. Unlike Chinese quackery, ours are scientifically tested.
SCIENCE – the means to the truth.
I would also Like to know what TCM did to you that you are so against it? What? Did an herb kill your child? Did a big bad orange peel ruin your life?
BTW: Financially? A bag of herbs is 5 dollars..
I am going to school to get my PhD in TCM. I will have to flee the country soon after I graduate because of big pharma now controlling the Canadian medical sect completely. It will be soon that people have to take pills, there will be no other option.
I tells you that TCM works. It also tells you that people are loosing faith in the modern medical system for being nothing but a product of greed. Corporations need to make money off these pills, ¨come get your pill and for all the side effects there are more pills and for those there are more pills..¨. No one at the top would like that there is a way for people to cure themselves just by having a greenhouse. And sorry, I meant modern Medicine, not science.
I would rather spend my money and time on something that could only make me stronger then subject myself to the pills that have destroyed our nation. The two take a different approach to medicine, it is true. TCM would rather help the body help itself then give it a quick fix so it learns to depend. All pills are based off of herbs, this is a fact. Recently in Canada the movement of TCM became so large the big pharma tried to ban it. What does that tell you?
“Everything science knows is a result of TCM” <– Proving you’re a complete idiot.
Modcrn Science is Western with its roots in ancient greece.
Ignoramus – keep letting the TCM morons con you both medically and financial.
QUACKS promoted by ignorant morons.
Plants extract….
yeah…you’re right.

where do you think the chemicals in the pills come from?
That’s the problem with Western medicine, it only ever treats the symptom but never the actual problem/cause.
where is this shop ?
