Chicken or Lean Pork with Ginseng Shreds
COOKING TIME: 1 HOUR SERVES 4
The ginseng called for in this recipe is not the root itself, but the thin, stringy roots that extend from the main stalk. The Cantonese call these shreds yong sam soe, which literally means the "beard of the ginseng root". The beard, as it were, is a mild form of the potent root and makes a good introduction for those who are consuming it for the first time. It is extremely palatable, with only a slight bitter taste and is good for restoring the body's 'heat'.
TCM & Backache
Four out of five people will be crippled by backache at sometime in their lives. In severe cases it can effect one's normal life and working capacity.
Baby Eczema with TCM
Baby eczema is one of the most common illnesses in babies. They may suffer from it from birth. So what causes baby eczema?
Asthma
Asthma is a common ailment. Those who develop it appear to accept the condition and learn to live with it. The problem however is treatable with Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Arthritis
One in fifty of the U.K. population suffer from rheumatoid arthritis alone. This does not include rheumatic arthritis, osteo-arthritis and others.
Many people think it is a disease without hope, as one paper puts it, "the cause is unknown and there is no cure".
As practitioners of Chinese medicine, we take a different view. Rheumatoid arthritis and all other types of arthritis are controllable and reducible if not completely curable.
Alcohol Addiction & TCM
To "go for a drink" is one of the most popular social activities in the UK. Young people start to drink as soon as they reach the age of eighteen and a lot of people only see their friends regularly in the pub. A friend told me how he went to work abroad and that a year later, when he returned, he found his friends at the same time in the same pub.
TCM and Acne
Most of us suffer from acne at some point in our lives. For some it is very mild and hardly noticed, but for other it can be more serious and quite distressing. What are the causes of this condition and how does TCM handle it?
