Chinese Wisdom for Mental and Emotional Health

Battle stress, depression and anxiety

Harmony ~ Such a Beautiful Word!

The Peaceful Interaction of Body, Mind and Emotions

A Wondrous Place where there is Healing, Nourishment

and Growth!

The Place in Ourselves where Everything is Right!

For one torn apart by the violent winds

of emotional and mental imbalance ~ the

body is not whole but in disarray! lack of

harmony creates health breakdowns!

Some Symptoms that Show We Are Out of BalanceNervousness

Hysteria

Anxiety

Insomnia

Exhaustion

Depression

Anger

DefensivenessInsomnia

Restlessness

Jumpy

Irritable

Fear

Frustration

Defensiveness

Hypersensitivity

Tension

Neurosis

Racing thoughts

Weeping

We can say that these are just the normal up and down emotional reactions to life.

When a mood, reaction or feeling becomes chronic or disruptive, it creates continual tension within ourselves and with our fellows, and that becomes very uncomfortable. These can become a storm in our lives creating havoc!

There are many people who have “always been angry,” “never have slept well,” or have always been “low” or “moody.” They have lived with an imbalance for so long they feel it is “just the way they are made.”

Can Herbal Formulas Really Do the Job?

Can they Truly Restore Harmony?

Wonderful News!Wonderful News!

They Can and Do!

Body, Mind and Emotions are Interconnected

• Feeling edgy, depressed after the flu or a cold is the body telling us we are out of balance.

• Herbs can have amazing “side effects” – sleeping better, feeling l b i h icalmer, being happier.

• Emotional reactions arise when a body is out of balance.

• Using traditional Chinese medicine, the whole body can become more harmonious.

All elements are connected with emotional reaction.

We are considering only working with 2 Elements.

Traditional Chinese Medicine uses One Formulation Only.

We are considering using up to 4 Formulations at a time!

Using the Fantastic Four

Use combinations of the Fantastic Four ~ how do we choose which ones?

Check your client’s “pulse.”

Listen to them they will “tell you” what their issues areListen to them, they will tell you what their issues are.

•You say you’re stressed, do you feel like you’re tightly wound?

•Do you sleep well at night? Is sleep restless? Have you had a loss?

•Are you frustrated, irritated, feeling explosive?

•Depressed? How long have you felt that way?

We don’t solve deep-seeded issues with just herbal help. But we feel that, with the traditional herbal formulations, we give the client (and ourselves!) “feet.”

Then we can work better with other nutrients and herbs to help them towards wholeness.

What Has Worked for Us!

W s mbinati ns f th TCM’s list d n a r g lar basis W s

A. Stress Relief TCM ~ jumpy, edgy, anxious

B. Nervous Fatigue TCM ~ sleepless, hurt, burned out

C. Liver Balance TCM ~ angry, frustrated, irritable

D. Mood Elevator TCM ~ depressed, “low,” unable to function

We use combinations of the TCM s listed on a regular basis. We use them freely and without fear that there will be any “side effects.”

• Singles of the “Fantastic Four” work wonderfully for their specific purposes – you just have to “use enough.”

• 1 2/day is good maintenance after change has • 1-2/day is good maintenance after change has taken place.

• 1/day can be used with a formula that is added to balance a program.– With underlying anger, add a touch of Liver Balance.

Using Enough

• 1/hour is what we use when there is a crisis situation and using a single.– Then reduce to 1 every 2 hours, then to 3/day.

f f f f• 1-2 of each formula before a stressful situation and 1-2 afterwards is excellent!
