Human beings are part of nature. All beings are governed by the Laws
of Nature. When we abide by the Laws of Nature there would be peace and
harmony. When we go against it, then, there would be chaos and disaster.
The deforestation and the emission of gases from industrialization have resulted in the green house effect on our Mother Earth.
Health is the most precious thing in life. without it, even with all the wealth in the world, one can never really enjoy life.
Research
made by scientists shows that human beings could live to about 120
years. However today the average life span of mankind is only 60 to 70
years. This means that man only live half of the actual life span. More
tragically, many people spent their last phase of this shortened life
span in and out of hospital or bed-ridden because of illness.
Let's look at the ills of modern living that contribute to the cause:
1]Water
pollution - Effluence containing lead, mercury and other heavy metals
discharged by chemical plants, weed killers, pesticides and fertilizers
used onto the ground are polluting the ground water which we drink.
2]Air
pollution - Emission from factories, automobiles, ashes and smog from
open burning and forest fires, radioactive dusts and molecules from
nuclear tests are relentlessly released into the air, which we breathe.
3]Pollution
at homes and offices - Paints used in home and office furnishings,
detergents and chemicals used are contaminating our homes and offices.
4]Toxins
in food - Various colorings, preservatives, growth hormones,
antibiotics and insecticides are found in meat, seafood, fruits and
vegetables we consume everyday.
5]Drug induced diseases - The many
drugs that are consumed everyday and the chemicals contained are found
to have caused new diseases.
6]Bad habits and life styles - Excessive eating, alcohol, smoking and late nights have become part and parcel of modern living.
7]Stress
- Family commitments, hectic social and business engagements, and
complex interpersonal relationships are some of the contributing factors
of stress.
These factors are taking a heavy toll on human health.
Under existing living conditions, it has been estimated that an average
adult would take in 3 to 5 kilograms of toxins and harmful substances
coming from eating, breathing and through the skin in a year. This is
the root for the alarming increase in the various types of disease and
cancer today.
Since the appearance of mankind on earth, they had
been collecting and eating plants for food. They discovered that some
plants could alleviate ailments or cause it to disappear. Thus, the
knowledge on the curative aspects of plants could be traced back to the
existence of mankind.
China, especially, has a long history with
vast and rich experience in the use of herbs for health care and
treatment of illnesses. One of the earliest books and records on
medicinal herbal plants was written more than 2,000 years ago in China.
Traditionally Chinese medicine dates back to more than 5,000 years and
the efficacy has been proven with time. The uniqueness of traditional
Chinese medicine is in its formulation. When herbs are combined and
balanced, the effect becomes synergistic. The wholesome goodness of
Mother Nature should not be overlooked. The effect may be slow but it
would not give rise to bad side effects.
For Good Health:
