TCM Osteopenia Osteoporosis

TCM Osteopenia Osteoporosis. Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the many different forms of medicine that exist around the globe. Most people from the UnitedStates, Canada and Europe are familiar with Allopathic medicine that emphasizes prescription drugs, surgery and other technical procedures to treat specific medical conditions.

Many of those used to the Allopathic medical tradition, look to TCM Osteopenia Osteoporosis to give them a specific herb or treatment that will reverse their bone loss. But justtaking a pill or supplement is NOT the way that TCM works. It follows an entirely different medical system.

If you want to use TCM you owe it to yourself to spend a bit of time getting at least a rudimentary understanding of how the system works, how Traditional Chinese Medicine views the human body, the causes of illness and how remedies are applied.

Importance of education

After many months of searching I finally found a video series that is not all hype and offers clear explanations and solid background. I have also included links to some pages on thissite that discuss specific TCM treatments that have been subject to scientific studies and show to have a positive effect on bone growth and/or fracture prevention.

• Introduction to Traditional Chinese medicine for those who were not brought up in this health care tradition. The speaker is Anna Carlin, R.N., Ph.d.
  1. Introduction to TCM , a video that 'teaches' and does not try to 'convince' you to buy anything. I like thisvideo teacher because the way she teaches, is also the message of her teaching. Form and content 'cohere".
  2. TCM and the Law of Opposites
  3. Harmonizing the Opposites
  4. The Five Fundamental Substances
  5. Vital Energy within the Five Phases
  6. Uniting the Vital Energies
  7. The Eight Principles of TCM Diagnosis
  8. Ancient Acupuncture Channels
  9. Locating Accupuncture Points
  10. Complete healing of Body, Mind and Spirit

• In light of these basic principles, the following forms of treatment have been found useful for treating bone loss:

• Acupuncture as a Osteopenia, Osteoporosis treatment: Acupuncture and bone density
• Tai Chi - Some impressive bone density studies and a link to lessons/program
• TCM Osteopenia Osteoporosis and Bushen
• Gushukang Osteopenia Osteoporosis for stronger bones
• Green Tea and Bone health
• Herba Epimedia and Bone density

In the coming months I hope to add some pages to this section on TCM and bone density. There appears to be much more opennessto TCM among medical research facilities in the USA. And thereare now so many medical doctors and researchers in China trained in Western scientific approaches that there are many more articles about TCM being published in scientific journals.So, do return to this page again.

Obtaining supplies Sometimes readers contact me asking where to obtain individual herbs or supplements. Thus far I have found no reliable source online - other than those listed on the products page. In one sense this is helpful because it will encourage readers to contact a TCM practitioner for adviceand direction.

Most practitioners can provide you with the necessary herbs and concoctions and their advice for your specificsituation should be followed. TCM is a powerful system. It is not wise to use it without the necessary knowledge.
