History of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)

[guohua]

Great idea for a thread - as I am currently in China, I often have acupuncture, cupping and other TCM methods. 

One thing that I find great is Wormwood, which comes in many different formats and is great for aches and pains.  It is amazing and whether it is the heat or the plant which makes the difference, something definitely works for me when I use that.

Actually it is Both, The Heat helps to maximize the Herb, you may notice, that a lot of external herbal treatments combine heat.
This plant (Absinthium) which is a Weed in America grows in many people's yards.
 We also call the treatment you are receiving Moxibustion (Moxa), Excellent treatment for Pains and Aches and Arthritis.
