Tibetan Herbs

[Sunya]

so i'm going to try out some Tibetan Herbal formulas, they are pretty hard to find unless you have access to a doctor. the 2 most popularly prescribed formulations are available over the net. I found a good souce at http://www.siddhienergetics.com and am going to give them a try. Agar 35 and Semde

 

there is an article about the two herbs on Bluepoppy written by Bob Flaws, whoever is interested in a TCM point of view on the herbs.

from what I can gather...

 

both are prescribed for rLung disorders, rLung is wind and is equivelant to the Sanskrit: Prana and Chinese: Qi

 

Semde is for rlung disorders of the central channel, or 'chong mai' while Agar 35 is for rlung disorders stemming from disharmony of organs which results in malnourishment of the 'heart spirit' (in TCM terms)

 

taken together: they are complimentary and the spirit is uplifted, channels are helped to clear, and body is brought into balance.

 

i'm going to start a daily regimen and whoever is interested I can report back with the results I have. i'm healing myself of energy disorders stemming from bad diet and pot smoking.

Cool. I will be interested to read about your results, mikaelz.

[Vajrahridaya]

Me too, that's awesome! It'll probably take about a month to really feel it.

 

I may want those herbs too!

well so far i've been taking agar 35 for the past 3 days. I take it at night, and it knocks me out, and makes me really tired the next day.. quite groggy. very relaxed but I dont like the grogginess. Someone that I spoke with who tried it said he took it for 3 weeks and the first couple days he was groggy then felt 'blah' then after about a week he balanced out and felt great. he thinks the first days its balancing you out and makes you feel tired. I guess i'll have to keep holding on hoping this goes away

 

i've also felt sore throats and have been sneezing, so maybe its bringing to the surface latent sicknesses

taking herbs self-prescribed without the least knowledge of them is a sure way to filch yourself up.

 

Have at it.

If you read the actual thread, he does have knowledge of what he's taking and why.

[Aetherous]

I would generally agree, but from what I've read, agar-35 is okay to be taken by most everyone.

I read the thread.. and I wasn't talking to him.

yep. good advice. but, these two herbs are safe for everyone with no negative side effects.

I ordered the agar 35 yesterday, so it will come in a few days I'm guessing. I do have some issues with anxiety, which most likely will be resolved soon anyway, but oh well...it will be fun to try this out and see any effects.

please tell me you asked for capsules and not pellets??? the pellets have to be chewed before swallowing and taste like tree bark. i've done it before, you get used to it.. but I suggest capsules if you have sensitive taste buds

[Aetherous]

Didn't specify on the order....I don't mind tree bark.

As Tibet is a district of China, in the upper central portion of China, I would think that the book of Chinese medicine would be of interest

http://www.amazon.com/Barefoot-Doctors-Man...s/dp/0780800095

 

It contains all of the herbs and remedies of all of China that Mao Tse Tung's doctors thought worth preserving.

The Tibetans don't at all think of themselves as part of China. But, Tibetan medicine is a mixture of Chinese and Indian as well as ancient local stuff. Tibet is kind of right in the middle of ancient trade routes.

Tibet has a culture, religion, and language completely distinct from China. this goes for Tibetan medicine as well, which incorporates elements from native Tibetan medicine, Chinese, Persian, a lot of Indian, and some Greek as well.
