In written chinese, the character 魔 (mó) can mean : Demon, Devil, Fiend, wicked force, magic.

It is made of two components : - 麻 Hemp, Cannabis and - 鬼 Evil spirit So, a Demon is literally an « Evil spirit of the cannabis ».

The character 魔 was originally used to translate the sanskrit word मार (Māra) when the first buddhist missionaries came to China from India. In buddhism, Māra is the malignant Demon King who tries to stop Siddartha Gautama from achieving enlightenment by tempting him with visions and illusions. Māra is the dreaded Lord of Illusions. The reason for this translation is that the ancient chinese medicine was well aware of the psychoactives effects of the cannabis and its entheogenic properties, and therefore the link with the illusions of Māra is then simple and easy to understand.

Healing with Poisons: Potent Medicines in Medieval China

Healing with Poisons: Potent Medicines in Medieval China is a groundbreaking work delving into the realm of du, meaning toxic or poison, within Chinese pharmacy. Taking readers to China during the 3rd to 10th centuries, a crucial period for the systematic development of knowledge surrounding du, Yan Liu examines how physicians, officials, and other historical figures conceptualized and utilized potent substances. This book contributes to the ongoing scholarly discussion on pharmaceuticals and reveals the intriguing fluid materiality of medicines. It further challenges the notion that Chinese medicine is natural, mild, and predominately focuses on restoring the body's harmony.

Happy Lunar New Year! For 2023, we transition from Water Tiger to Water Rabbit. This is an extremely Yin energy more so than last year due to the fact that the Tiger's energy is so fast paced and merciless. The softer qualities of the rabbit suggest a more mild year for 2023. The rabbit is the Yin Water to last year's Yang Water zodiac, at least in Eastern Astrology.  Yin Water is yielding with quiet and calm properties but just like the nature of water itself can be very deep and mysterious carrying secrets in the dark. This may cause trouble when trying to distinguish the truth. The mind can be more prone to distraction from belief systems and perspectives so be aware of the thoughts and belief systems you reinforce with yourself.  The water element is also often associated with fear so be mindful not to weigh fear over logic. To mitigate this, silence is encouraged. Take time to silence your mind and make room for the wisdom that this year provides. Being gentle with oneself will be key this year.  You may also notice a more easygoing and cooperative energy this year as the rabbit is a pure Yin Wood sign. You will see these attributes manifesting in your environment and people in general will be more prone to having different viewpoints making a willingness to compromise more easy. to learn more about the Rabbit's influence on other signs you can check out the blog from @5elementsoracle in my newsletter https://mailchi.mp/chiforhealing/new-year-rabbit-6026297 #lunarnewyear #yearoftherabbit #chinesenewyear #fiveelements #yin #5elements #chinesemedicine #chineseastrology #chiforhealing #gaiacentricliving (at Middletown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnw0pCGusyF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Natural::Objects 2D Design: Formstorming 中药

Inspo:

中药 (zhōng yào) (chinese medicine)

中药 vs 西药 (chinese medicine vs western medicine)

Healing without tech

Apothecaries

Human body’s built-in methods of healing

Amish medicine

Witchcraft/rituals

The word we had to formstorm on was “natural.” I thought of nature, and of course thought of plants. I thought of different kinds of plants, and I thought of aloe vera. I thought of how aloe vera is good for inflammation and skincare, and that made me think of its healing properties. From there, I thought of cultures that have studied plants’ healing properties and turned it into a science. This made me think of chinese medicine 中药, as well as amish home remedies, witchcraft healing rituals, apothecaries, acupuncture (falls under 中药), and the idea of western v eastern medicine.

I drove to a chinese market nearby and took photos of their dried herbs, dried spices, and fresh produce. They offer vegetables and herbs not readily available in western supermarkets but are essential to most eastern asian households, both for culinary and medicinal reasons. Some spices used in chinese cooking are used in medicine too, it’s just considered a household item necessary to have, so I took photos of the boxes of bulk spices to emphasize their utility and why they’re sold in those amounts.

The rest of the images are from Pinterest from looking up the above topics and finding a connection between all of them to create one theme for these collages.

Does China Have a Universal Healthcare?

In investigating healthcare in China, I have learned some interesting things about how similar and dissimilar healthcare is to America. There is not a universal healthcare that Chinese citizens have to have, but according to The Commonwealth Fund, 95 percent of China was covered by at least one type of insurance plan. There are technically three types of healthcare that were placed at the near turn of the century. There is a medical plan called the Urban Employee Medical Insurance, which is required if you do not live in the city. The second type is also a type of care for rural residents of China, called the Newly Cooperative Medical Scheme. They merged this into a new insurance plan for their citizens that covers urban and rural areas.

Traditional Medicine

Along with basic biomedical health practices, practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine are very important to the culture. Traditional Chinese Medicine includes acupuncture, Tai Chi, and any and all herbal infused ingredients. Acupuncture, as you may all know, is when needles are inserted into the skin to stimulate certain areas under the skin. Tai Chi is along the lines of yoga. It combines calming movements with balance and stability being the emphasis. Chinese herbal products are plants, botanicals, and anything related to a dietary supplement that can cure physical and mental ailments.

In preventing illness and management, it depends on where you are located in China. If consulting an elderly family member in a rural area, Traditional Chinese Medicine will most likely be the answer. However, if you're in a densely populated urban area, your employer and the Chinese government will most likely urge you to see their equivalent of a general practitioner. 

Confucius

As I've mentioned earlier in this blog, Confucianism impacts China heavily in the countries daily lives and decisions. Confucianism also influences how the Chinese view death. It is taught that a person shouldn't be afraid of death. Another religion or way of living life, Taoism teaches that if a person has lived a good, moral life, then they will achieve immortality after death. Chinese people also don't like thinking about death, it is a taboo topic to talk about.

If I knew someone traveling through a humanitarian aspect or going to do healthcare work in a different country, I would give them some advice in practicing in a completely different culture than us. I would give them some advice in approaching respect within the family. They believe that the elders should make the healthcare decisions, so I would ensure that let people know how important it is. I would also caution them speaking about death unless I was sure a patient would be on their deathbed. Death is a taboo topic and very disheartening. In communication with their co-workers and patience, I would suggest listening attentively to what the patient wants to do. They may only want to do Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is a perfectly acceptable treatment, even if there is a biomedical route that is applicable.
