Three Basic Understandings of Plant Medicine
To best understand the force and functionality of this women’s natural care product, it’s important to understand medicinal plants.
Medicinal plants tell an ancient story of holistic healing, one that weaves cultures from around the world into the same blanket of philosophy- plants have the power to make humans feel better. An important note to make about the relationship between plant and person is that each person shares a unique experience with every herb they consume. However, the basic element that herbal professionals agree about is that herbs serve particular functions when they are consumed. Here are a few basic foundations of herb medicine:
- Herbs help the body move out stagnation and waste. If the body is experiencing sluggishness, irritability, or congestion, herbs move out the old to make way for the new.
- Herbs promote holistic healing. Their vitamin and mineral content helps the body heal itself by promoting proper form and function.
- Herbs provide a boost in the overall energy of the body by helping it heal and detoxify. This naturally allows the body to increase its day-to-day energy levels.
Libido Femme as Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Medicine has a history of five thousand years and is an integral part of this botanical blanket, woven together with the common goal of bringing the body back into balance with a natural world.
Smooth flow of Qi is the key to optimal health
The Western Dilemma and the Meaning of Qi
Too often, Chinese medicine is made to fit into the mold of western medicine, which can alter the understanding of how these herbs work within the body. Unfortunately, this kind of alteration can misrepresent the ancient depth of plant-human connection. To best capture the heart of Libido Femme and the herbs within it, we had Dr. Janine Mahon chime in to explain Qi.
“Qi is all of life.
When we live in harmony with change we not only can harness the energy of the season but prepare ourselves to live optimally in the next season of our life.
Ancient Chinese philosophers studied the unique patterns of the seasons (from daily to the cycles within a lifetime) and how to best live in balance with nature. The Chinese classic, I Ching (the Book of Changes) was created to provide guidance on how to live in harmony with change.
The life force that is found within the cycle and all of life has been named Qi. Chinese medicine is the application of Chinese philosophy which is the study of Qi and all of its stages and transformations. There are many forms of Qi. Gu Qi comes from the food we eat. Zhong Qi comes from the air we breathe.
Chinese medicine aims to balance Qi disorders. Qi can be stagnant, deficient, rebellious, and sinking. There is no one cure for all, everything is individualized. A headache has many causes, you need to understand the state of the Qi to make the best choice.
Smooth flow of Qi is the key to optimal health.”
