Teena asked:


I think that unversal healthcare would be detrimental to the advancement of human medicine. Drug companies would tirelessly to develop a breakthrough drug or a cure for a disease because they know it would be a huge payout. Would they have such a large incentive if the government would be paying them?

Also, I heard that universal healthcare would result in everyone getting healthcare, but it would involve long lines. Everyone would get treated for cancer and not worry about the bill but they would have to wait 6 months for treatment.

What are your thoughts?

Basically, Chinese medicine is based on a wide concoction of different herbs strategically and carefully blended and combined to balance the flow of energy in the body. The concept of energy flow Yin Yang is what differentiates the old Chinese way of medicine.

It is very common these days to find medicines labeled as natural or herbal medicines. In a medical store one can easily find millions of dietary supplements and medicines for various diseases. The history of medicinal plants goes back more than 5000 years ago. The use of these plants as medicines can be studied in the ancient texts of Chinese and Egyptian papyrus. Additionally, Ayurveda and traditional Chinese Herbal medicine text have explained the systematic use of these medicines.

The scientists found that people in various parts of the world use similar plants for same purposes. And, in the 19th century, with advent of chemical analysis, scientists performed the extraction of active ingredients of the plant. They modified the extractions with some other chemicals to give the improved results. In later history, the chemists also began to make their own modifications and herbal medicines; which tended the shift of herbal medicines towards the pharmaceuticals only.

It has been studied by the World Health Organization that 80% of the people rely on herbal medicines in the primary aspects of better health. The increasing dissatisfaction from the prescribed allopathic medicines, observing their side-effects on the body and high cost have made them to turn to natural ways to treat the disease. In this regard, herbal medicines have come as the best alternative to the people. The Chinese herbal medicines are considered to be the best treatment option in the science of herbal plants. In the late twenty century people have realized the benefits of natural products; therefore, the utilization of these medicines has increased significantly. But there is a specific way to use them. In many herbs used in herbal alternative medicines, the active ingredient is not known which actually affects the body.

A single herb contains many ingredients of benefit to the body. A number of factors are involved in improving the quality of the herb and its components. The environment in which the plant is grown has the major effect on the quality of the herb. The soil, climate, bugs, altitude etc are the primary factors that need to be taken care for the healthy growth of the plant. In many of the herbs, the whole plant is not useful. Only one part of the plant is used to correct the problem. Therefore, many herbalists extract the active agents of that plant such as roots, leaves, flower, seeds etc. Every part of the herb has number of components which can not be generated synthetically or pharmaceutically, that’s the only reason the herbalist use the extracts of the medicinal plant.

It is recommended to the customer to take the herbal medicines only after consulting the professional herbalist. Though these herbal medicines do not have any side-effect but it would be better to consult the doctor first. He will also suggest you which medicine would be best suited for you.
