CHINESE HERBAL COMBINATIONSHorizons,
September
An introduction to NSP’s new line of Chinese TCM herbal concentrates. Includes a list of NSP Chinese concentrated formulas and the systems they support, a discussion of the concentration process and a quick look at the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Concentrated Extracts Are Here NOW MORE POWERFUL IN CONCENTRATED EXTRACT FORM Chinese herbalists have spent thousands of years developing and perfecting their herbal formulas in accordance with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The Chinese approach honors the interaction between the body’s systems. The result? Powerful herbal formulas that work to promote harmony in the body. Nature’s Sunshine’s Chinese herbal formulas are now available in a more pure and potent concentrated extract form, called TCM concentrates. In NSP’s unique extraction process, the herbs
are first combined in their proper proportions. The active constituents are
drawn out and preserved, leaving behind any unwanted or unneeded parts. The
entire herb formula is percolated at a temperature low enough to minimize
evaporation and the breakdown of active constituents, but high enough to allow
the synergistic interaction of herbs to occur. The result is an herbal extract
formula that is pure and potent. In fact, each capsule of the extract is at
least four times as potent as the regular herbal combination. This is different
than Western philosophy, which concentrates individual herbs and later combines
them.

Principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine Chi Chi is an invisible flow of energy that circulates throughout the body along defined meridians. Chi is responsible for health and well-being. Obstruction in the flow of chi leads to illness. Yin and Yang Traditional Chinese Medicine holds that wholeness is the unity of opposites, represented by yin and yang. Yin is passive and receptive, while yang is active and aggressive. The interaction between yin and yang keep the world in motion as night turns into day and winter leads to spring. Proper balance of yin and yang lead to well being. The Five Elements The creation cycle depends on the five elements—wood, fire, earth, metal and water—working together. Wood burns to feed fire. Fire’s ashes become earth. Earth gives its core to create metal. Metal causes condensation, producing water. Water nourishes plants and trees, creating wood. Ancient Chinese herbalists noticed a connection between these forces of nature and the body’s functions. Each element is associated with a body system and a pair of organs—one yin organ and one yang organ. Appropriate interaction between the partner organs leads to wholeness and health.
