WHAT IS CHINESE MASSAGE?

palaceherbalspa@aol.com (Palace Herbal Spa) — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 08:32:01 GMT

WHAT IS CHINESE MASSAGE? By Jone Guo, Chinese Medicine Expert, State certified therapist.

To answer this question, we need to know what Chinese medicine is, because Chinese massage is a branch of it.

Chinese Medicine, or Traditional Chinese Medicine, was created by Yellow Emperor about 5,000 years ago. And recent studies show that the use of Chinese herbs can date back to about 10,000 years.

I-Ching, or the Book of Yi Jing, was also created at the same time, which points out that everything in the universe is made of two things: Yin, and Yang. Yin is the definition for black, dark, female, night, etc, while yang is the opposite: white, bright, male, day, etc.

Almost all people know the sign of yin and yang. They must exist in perfect balance and harmony, or things will go wrong.

And this is the foundation that Chinese Medicine is based upon. We, each one of us, the body is built with yin and yang with its natural balance. And when the body is “off-balance”, which means when you have too much yin, or too much yang, you are sick.

When you have too much yin, your yang will be depressed, and you will suffer with symptoms like weak muscles, weariness, cold hand, cold sweat, impotence, etc.

When you have too much yang, your yin will be depressed, you will suffer from hypertension, headache, hot flesh, trouble-sleeping, etc. I see many of my clients suffering from having too much yang in the body.

When your body is out of balance, there should be NO delay to receive treatment to bring the balance back to your yin and yang. Or the so called “evil energy” will go deep into your meridians and cause much serious sickness.

There are twelve meridians inside one’s body, they operate according to different time of the day, and they move in a big circulation witin 24 hours. These meridians relate to different organs, and along them, acupuncture points are stationed.

Chinese medicine consists of herbs, acupuncture, cupping and moxibustion, and massage. All of these methods target your meridians and acupuncture points. When you are sick, it means a certain part of your meridian is not working well. It is just like a stream, flowing inside your body, when it is clogged, the downstream will be short of energy supply, and upstream may have too much of it. Chinese medicine will unblock this part of the channel, so the chi, or life force, will flow freely again. Your balance of yin and yang will be back, and you are healthy again.

Massage, called “mo-sa”, in ancient China, is a great natural way to bring back people’s health. It will target your meridian channels and acupuncture points and give you ultimate healing result that no other massage can achieve. Chinese massage is natural medicine, Chinese massage is therapeutic massage. A massage therapist is a Chinese Medicine doctor in China, who has profound knowledge of meridian network and its working features, their doctrine is: “Magic hands bring back the springtime.”

Christmas Gift: Warm Your Heart With Moxibustion

palaceherbalspa@aol.com (Palace Herbal Spa) — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 04:52:00 GMT

Christmas is just a few days away, and Palace Herbal Spa would like to present this present for you as a heart warming experience.

Moxibustion is a cone, or a stick, made of Chinese sage to heat up the acupunture point to treat chronic diseases, and common ailments. When winter comes, especially during the wet or snow season, moxibustion is widely used by people to drive away or prevent cold or chill.

I am here to off you this very simple way to do it:

I understand that you may not be able to get moxibustion supplies here in San Diego, but you can use cone incense instead. Put the cone in the cone burner, burn the incense, put your fingers around the burning, let the heat go up to the center of your palm (Be careful, do not burn yourself).There is one primary acupunture point called lao gong--Labor Palace, on the Pericardium Channel. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, you have 5 hearts: two on your hands, two on your feet, and they are all connected. So warming your Labor Palace will warm your heart and mind, and your whole body too. When you feel chill, do this simple moxibustion for ten minutes, you will feel warm from inside out! Please recommend to friends, a few dollars investment worth a million!

See Labor Palace Point:

Moxibustion, using cone incense:

You can choose your favorite incense. I recommend lavender if you have trouble sleeping, and rose if you are in low spirit. Sage will be the best to fight cold and chill.

Light Swedish massage is NOT for winter.

palaceherbalspa@aol.com (Palace Herbal Spa) — Fri, 03 Dec 2010 09:53:00 GMT

The light Swedish massage is NOT suitable for winter massage. It is good for the lungs which belong to autumn. For winter, massage should be firm and deep, since it is the season of the kidney. Kidney loves firm and deep massage because it rules the muscle and bones. According to Chinese Medicine, winter massage can help give you a stress-free and healthy body for the next spring. Experience winter massage, at your Palace.

It is the Season of the Lung

palaceherbalspa@aol.com (Palace Herbal Spa) — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 06:46:00 GMT

Dear Patron,

As mentioned in our previous message to you, in autumn, your lungs will dominate your health. And now, autumn is in full swing. It is time to trade frozen yogurt, smoothies for hot soups and steamed vegetables.

It is vital to use warm food to ward off the cold "evil" energy which can affect your meridian channels. Also, lungs connect to your skin, so get covered and stay warm.

We would like to provide a list of things that can balance your qi in this season:

Apples, cranberries, pears, figs, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, broccoli, squash, ginger, cinnamon.

Also, pls be advised that since the color white is for the lungs in Chinese Medicine, any produce with white color can benefit your lungs so as to bring overall health to your body.

These include: white turnip, lotus roots, pears, etc.

For how to receive autumn massage at our spa, refer to our previous message regarding "autumn massage".

Thanks!

HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL, SEPT 22

palaceherbalspa@aol.com (Palace Herbal Spa) — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 19:14:00 GMT

HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL, SEPT 22

Tomorrow, Sept 22, will be the Chinese Mid-autumn Festival. According to Chinese culture, on 15^th of the Eight Month of the Lunar Calendar, the moon will be the fullest, and it is time for families to gather, lovers to send blessings to each other, and time to celebrate for the year’s harvest.

Moon cakes, a moon-shaped treat made with all sorts of fillings such as nuts, meat, dried fruits, is the main theme for mid-autumn. It symbolizes unity of families or companies, and harvest that is given by God (the Up Sky). To go with moon cakes, people drink laurel wine, have jasmine tea, tie guanyin( Iron Guan Yin Buddha), and Longjing(Dragon Well).

Mid-autumn is official holiday in China, it announces both the official and natural change of the season, so “how to take care of your health” in autumn is the major topic on all TVs and newspapers.

Traditional Chinese Medicine regards Mid-autumn as the turning point from yang(summer) to yin,(starting tomorrow). Drinking tea has become more favorable for people to balance yin and yang inside the human body. In the summertime, people have stored too much yang and drinking tea(yin) at mid-autumn can help bring back yin energy. Once yin and yang are balanced, you have achieved great health.

But if you have already had too much yin in your body, please avoid drinking too much tea. A few sips will be fine, and too much will affect your health. People having stomach or kidney problems should avoid tea, especially green tea or iced tea. Please note that drinks such as coffee and coke belong to yang. If your body is already loaded with yang, you must avoid drinking coffee or coke. To give you a general idea, see the following:

Food of yin: duck, fish, cucumber, lettuce, green tea, etc.

Food of Yang: beef, cheese, goat meat, garlic, onion, coffee, etc.

A lot of food is neutral, such as: pork, potato, etc.

Note: salt belongs to “fire” and it is yang. Do not eat to much salt. Beef is already yang enough, adding salt is like putting oil on fire for your body.

If you eat beef & cheese daily, you must avoid drinking too much coffee. Too much yang will bring damage to heart, liver, and kidneys. It will also cause damages to your memory and intelligence. You will feel hot and sweaty even the room temperature is only 68 degrees (kidney deficiency). Too much yang is also the cause for hypertension.

If you cannot live without beef and cheese, then green tea is the best solution to bring back the yin in your body. Also, on Mid-autumn, the moon is full and it is the best time to absorb yin energy from it. The power of full moon will activate your channels and it is the best time to do some yoga, have some massage, or a spa.

Tomorrow is the festival, and Palace Herbal Spa would like to ask you to have a get-together for your family at our spa, and we would also like to send blessings to you all. We wish you great health and a wonderful harvest for the year of the tiger for your family and business.

Thanks for choosing Palace Herbal Spa as your “Palace”

HOW TO RECEIVE MASSAGE IN AUTUMN

palaceherbalspa@aol.com (Palace Herbal Spa) — Sun, 12 Sep 2010 03:04:00 GMT

HOW TO RECEIVE MASSAGE IN AUTUMN

Autumn has come. Season has changed and we, as part of nature, have changed too.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, when autumn comes, the dominant organ of summer, the Heart as fire, is to be replaced by the Lungs.

Lungs, as gold, dominate your health in the fall season, and this organ rules your skin and hair. So taking care of your lungs has become crucial, and at Palace Herbal Spa, we will provide services that will enhance your lungs so as to bring great therapy to your body and soul.

Since lungs rule your skin and hair, whole body massage becomes very favorable for rejuvenating and nourishing your skin from head to toe. Massaging your skin with therapeutic oil will enhance your lungs. And targeting your lung meridian and its acupuncture points will give you ultimate healing effect that no other type of massage will be able to achieve. Autumn massage is Chinese massage.

A chair massage at our spa on the bladder channels on your back, emphasizing on the lung points will also help you. And a foot reflexology with lung reflex zone as the center point will also be very beneficial.

To coordinate the services we provide, you can do the following to enhance your lungs: Find a great area with fresh air, do the “yin and yang” lung exercise.

Yang: deep breath, about 5 minutes.

Yin: Exercise light coughs, about 12 times.( light cough only!)

This is a Traditional Chinese Medicine exercise which will balance the yin and yang and bring great benefit to your lungs. After this, you are ready to come to our spa to have your favorite massage.

Remember: TCM prohibits hot bath with massage. So do not have Jacuzzi or hot shower before or after massage, especially in the autumn time when your lungs dominate your health. See more info on our website: www.sandiego4massage.com

Thanks so much your time!

Magic Hands: Chinese Massage for Osteoporosis

palaceherbalspa@aol.com (Palace Herbal Spa) — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 20:39:00 GMT

Magic Hands: Chinese Massage for Osteoporosis

Dear Patron, I believe many of you have received my booklet regarding the 12 meridians, your life channels. If you still don’t have one, please come to the counter of Palace Herbal Spa to get one, I still have some copies left.

One client recently requested about menopause and osteoporosis therapy. And I would like to take this chance to show you how and why Chinese massage can help with these problems.

According to Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, Osteoporosis, commonly referred to as brittle bones, is a syndrome leading to reduction in bone mineral density, and architecture and changes in the variety and amount of proteins in bone. The patient is at an increased risk of fracture. A hip or spine fracture would require immediate hospitalization and surgery. Spinal or vertebral fractures can result in loss of height, severe back pain and deformity.

There are various risk factors linked to the development of Osteoporosis:

-80% of cases occur in women, as they have lighter and thinner bones and lose bone rapidly post menopause.
-Age reduces bone density.
-Heredity and genetics determine if one is at risk.
-A smaller and thinner person is at a higher risk
-An adult who has broken one or more bones during their adulthood.
-There is a greater likelihood of people of Caucasian, Asian or Latino descent to develop osteoporosis as compared to Africans. -Women with low estrogen levels.
-Men with low testosterone levels. Testosterone may be low due to high alcohol intake and insufficient diet. -A diet lacking in calcium, vitamin D, phosphorous and essential vitamins.
-Too much of animal protein in the diet can lead to loss of calcium through the kidneys.
-High consumption of sodium.
-Inactive lifestyle combined with smoking and alcohol abuse increase the risk of osteoporosis.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) centers on the balancing of energy (Qi) in each human being to achieve overall wellness. According to TCM, the loss of kidney Qi and blood stagnation are mainly responsible for osteoporosis. Kidney rules over bones, to balance the kidney is to keep the bones in good order.

Acupuncture/acupressure massage has been shown to treat Osteoporosis. When the specific points are subjected to pressure, the nerve stimulation works towards building calcitonin, the hormone responsible for recalcification of bone and reducing bone pain. Research done at the Chengdu University, Sichuan Province of China, have proven the positive effects of acupuncture towards increase in bone metabolism.
The tried and tested ancient Chinese preparations coupled with acupuncture offer promise in treating the root causes of osteoporosis and bone disease, providing a beneficial environment to the body and enhancing bone health.

If you have menopause and osteoporosis problems, I suggest you get the following treatment at our spa:

30 min ginger foot reflexology spa, plus half hour table massage.

Ginger is one of the best Chinese herbal medicine to restore chi (life force) to the kidney( Kidney means your kidney and reproductive organs). And a reflexology concentrating on the center of the bottom of the feet (kidney zone) and the heel of the feet (reproduction area), can help with many ailments. After this foot spa, come to the table, and let the therapist massage on your back and lower back (bladder channels), and your belly( Conception Vessel, stomach channels, etc). This combination of holistic health care will give you great treatment for the menopause and osteoporosis problems.

Recommended: Drink Ginger Hot Tea after you get home from our spa. Chop some fresh ginger, boil for 15 minutes. Add honey. Taste the wonder of natural medicine.

Mother’s Day: Why Orange Is So Good?

palaceherbalspa@aol.com (Palace Herbal Spa) — Fri, 07 May 2010 23:34:00 GMT

Mother’s Day: Why Orange Is So Good?

Dear friends, Mother’s Day is coming, and I have filled my glass compote with oranges again in my Escondido and La Mesa Spas.

This time, I found some genuine Chinese oranges, those which belong to the Chinese Medicine food therapy. This type of orange not only serves as a symbol of good luck in China, but also brings health to people in many ways.

An orange a day,

Builds a healthy lady.

Chinese orange belongs to the “warm” medicine, and its properties as the “Yang”, can fight many diseases, ailments, or discomfort. Chinese Medicine believes orange is one of the best fruit to fight or prevent cancer and stroke. And ladies love to use it since 5,000 years ago to keep their body in a healthier state.

I have one short formula of Chinese orange to fight menstrual pain:

Half pound “orange meat”, which means oranges with no peels. Cut into small pieces, and boil for 3 minutes. Put in bowl for 2 minutes, and then add honey. Serve while hot.

When you come to our spa this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, please don’t forget to get one Chinese orange at the counter!

Happy Mother’s Day to You All!

Year of Tiger: How to Achieve Good Fortune & Good Health

palaceherbalspa@aol.com (Palace Herbal Spa) — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 08:48:00 GMT

Year of Tiger: How to Achieve Good Fortune & Good Health

“Palace” needs to give huge thanks to all of our royal patrons during the past week—the week for the Chinese New Year and the Valentine. Our therapy service has broken record in both of our spas: La Mesa, & Escondido.

I have received a lot of request asking about the year of the tiger, so the following short article, I hope, will bring you some benefits in this New Year!

What is the Year of Tiger

There are twelve earthly branches, starting from the rat. Then it is the ox, then the tiger. According to ancient myth, they were appointed by Shijiamoni, the Buddha. The year of the tiger is:

1962, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010.

What A “Tiger” Should Do in His or Her Year

For this person, both good energy and bad energy will fight to dominate, so one must exercise extra caution to avoid troubles, and use good faith and meditation to bring good energy to its extreme.

In China, when the New Year comes, this person will wear red string as necklace, anklet, bracelet, red underwear, and a red belt. For the house, wind chimes, sun catchers, crystal balls can also ward off bad energy. You can get red string or cord from any craft store.

What All People Should do

According to I-Ching, in year 2010, there could be a water shortage for the world, and refugees could roam. Saving water will be everyone’s task.

2010 will bring great benefit to the “East” and the “West”. Business or homes with doors opening to the east or west will receive better fortune.

On the contrary, it will bring bad energy to the “North”, and the “South”.

So if you plan to open a business, do not choose the location with the door opening to the north or south. If you already did, do the following:

Keep your door closed, or hang a yellow, gold, or sparkling curtain to ward off bad energy. Move your office desk; let it face east or west. Do not let it face north or south. If you are unable to move it, put plants with yellow/golden leaves to attract good energy.

Great fortune comes from the east in the Year of Tiger. Use plants to attract good energy: plants with yellow/gold leaves or stripes. Put them on the east side of your room, preferably near the window. An “east room” in a house will be the perfect place.

The foyer: this area is called “Xuan Guan”, where both good energy and bad energy tries to occupy. Use bonsais (symbolizing long life and good fortune), and plants with yellow/gold colors to bring good Fengshui.

In the Year of Tiger, meditation becomes more important. It purifies one’s mind so no bad energy can affect you. Remember, you have good things hidden in the west or east. Good luck to you all!

HOW TO RECEIVE "SPRING MASSAGE"

palaceherbalspa@aol.com (Palace Herbal Spa) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 23:46:00 GMT

HOW TO RECEIVE SPRING MASSAGE

Feb 14th is the Chinese New Year Day, the beginning of the Tiger Year, also the first day of the springtime, according to the Chinese calendar.

This year, the Chinese New Year coincides with the Valentine’s Day, and it is believed the luckiest new year day of all: A “double happiness” has arrived at everyone’s doorstep.

Chinese medicine was given to the people by the “Medicine God” about 5,000 years ago. According to its theory, one's organs belong to the "five elements": gold(metal), wood, water, fire, & earth. In the spring-time, liver, being wood, dominates all other organs. Chinese spring massage will target meridian channels and acupuncture points that relate to the liver. We human beings, as part of nature, also revive like all other plants and animals. To keep your liver in a healthy state will heal all your other problems in the springtime, as it says in the Yellow Emperor's Classics:

"Liver, roots of limbs, the soul of all organs."

To coordinate with our spring massage, this is what you should do:

1) food: Drink Chinese gou-ji tea. Eat chicken soup. Goat/sheep meat also nurishes the liver.

The following plants will also help the liver: spring bamboo shoots, spring herb mix, young chives,

asparagus, bean sprouts.

2) Outside activity: Get out from your house or office. Get sunshine to rejuvenate the liver. A walk in the sun

in a wooded area is the best choice. Remember: your liver is like a green tree in the spring time.

3) Liver belongs to the sun. So do not stay too late at night.

I wish you can share this info with your friends and families. And I will stop here for today, because in "Zen", "Less is more".

STORY BY JONE: WHERE IS THE POWAY BOY?

palaceherbalspa@aol.com (Palace Herbal Spa) — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:28:00 GMT

WHERE IS THE POWAY BOY?

Last week, after meeting my friends FP & SY in my spa in Escondido, I went back to Poway, to find some clothes in the Salvation Army. I had a few employees in my wholesale warehouse telling me they have some relatives in Mexico that are in urgent need of old winter clothes. And they asked if I had any. I said yes.

So I was standing in line at the counter to pay for some jackets I bought, and here I saw a boy, about 14 years old, with his mom, paying for two swords they had just found in the store.

The big sword lying across the counter really caught my eye--from the shape I could tell it was an authentic Samurai sword, and it had a Japanese signature on the wood handle.

I could not help crying out: “ My God, such a nice sword.”

The mother told the boy to be quite, and asked me about the sword. I said this Samurai sword is hand-forged, with no sharp edge—it is for peace and it can ward off evil spirit when hanging inside the house.

I paid for the clothes and went out to my van at the parking lot, which is just about 20 feet away from the store’s entrance. In front of my car, it is a fire wood plant; there is a huge pile of firewood against the fence, with the magnificent as the background. “This can be a nice painting.” I thought, and just at this time, from my back mirror I saw somebody running towards my car window.

It was the boy who bought the sword. I rolled down the window, and he was holding the sword as if presenting a gift to me: “Take this sword, it means much much more to you. Please take it.”

I was stunned, and for a moment, I did not speak. “Do I have to pay you?” I said in a low voice.

“No, please have it”.

“Thank you so much” and I added: “God bless you”. The Poway Mountains

I pulled out and turned right into Poway Road with the clothes I bought, and the old Samurai sword. I suddenly realized that I even did not ask for the boy’s name. I believed he was now with his mom, also on the Poway Road. They could be driving towards those mountains.

I sped up to 50 mph. I knew soon I would do a painting in my studio.

CHINESE MEDICINE PROHIBITS HOT BATH FOR MASSAGE

palaceherbalspa@aol.com (Palace Herbal Spa) — Mon, 04 May 2009 06:23:00 GMT

CHINESE MEDICINE PROHIBITS HOT BATH FOR MASSAGE

Oriental massage is based on Chinese acupuncture theory. The purpose is to unblock the Meridian Channels in your body, so as the "chi", or life force, can flow freely. It is a very sophisticated process which will usually last one hour to make it really work. During this process, your tissue will be filled with more blood and will become tender, and your nerves become much more active. At the same time, those invisible channels throughout your body will work with your nerves and blood network to fight the "evil energy", which is normally called pain, soreness, joints problems, or any other ailments.

Chinese medicine prohibits "hot bath" for massage. A hot bath, in American sense, can be various things: a hot spa, sauna, Jacuzzi, hot tub soak, hot shower, etc.

It is highly recommended that the client shall not take a “hot bath” at least two hours prior to the massage, or, two hours after the massage. The hot bath will damage your tissues, and give complication to the nerve system. It will be contradictory to the meridian channel management process.

We recommend you take a light, quick warm shower before or after the massage. If you do need a hot bath, Jacuzzi, wait for at least two hours after the massage. And remember: drink plenty of water after the massage before using your hot bath. This will help your body to return to its normal state, and help it to detoxify as well.
