Why you ache:
When there is chronic pain from an injury it is because the trauma lingers. Micro abrasions in the muscles lead to plaques that calcium attaches to and builds upon till there are physical knots in the muscle that blood does not circulate into. Your muscles are no longer nourished.
What needs to happen is to get into the muscle and break up the adhesions, and deposits, this is done with physical and herbal supplements.
Physical supplements are: yoga, massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, anything that challenges the body to push itself past comfort.
Herbal supplements are to invigorate the blood and move the qi (energy) of the body to illicit a healing process once again, not mask it, which is what most pharmaceuticals do.
Why you should Build your Immune System:
Eating foods that are rich in vitamins and Qi (pronounced "chee") will help you build up your immune system so that you are less susceptible to every virus that your kids or office mates bring in. There is a classic herbal formula named “Jade Windscreen” that has been used for thousands of years to protect, put a protective screen around you, to prevent illness. When this is taken at the first signs of illness, that’s as far as it goes, it can also be taken daily to keep you healthy.
Ever wonder what is in “Airborne” and why it works so well? It is Chinese herbs, similar to the “Jade Windscreen” formula, plus electrolytes for your body to absorb these herbs and keep hydrated with water.
Drink water!
It is the best and simplest way to improve your health. When your body is hydrated it functions properly. Your muscles are lubricated decreasing stiffness, your internal organs are able to detoxify and pump blood which is crucial for life.
