Chinese herbal medicine uses natural mineral, plant, and animal substances as medicine. These substances have minimum side effects when taken at the right time for the right condition; taken wrongly, they can be harmful.
For example, the herb astragalus (huangqi) taken alone should be used with caution by those who have high blood pressure or high fevers due to acute infections.
It is essential for anyone who wants to benefit from Chinese herbal medicine to consult a doctor of Chinese medicine for evaluation based on the theories and diagnostic techniques of Chinese medicine, including pulse and tongue reading.
When evaluating a patient, the Chinese medicine practitioner first has to identify which meridians and organ systems are out of balance. For example, liver and stomach meridians are often affected in indigestion. The practitioner has to determine the nature of the energy imbalance, such as too much or too little energy or energy that is stagnated, blocked, or moving in the wrong direction.
Take acid reflux as an example. It may be stagnated liver energy affecting the normal flow of stomach energy, which is now moving in the wrong direction. If it has been a chronic condition, the patient can get very tired and malnourished.
Emotional distress, anger, and especially resentment often cause liver energy stagnation. Patients with this type of imbalance may also suffer from migraines, depression, insomnia, irritable bowel, and chronic pain in deep tissues.
When the Chinese medicine doctor has gathered all the information and comes up with diagnoses of energy imbalance, an individualized Chinese medicine remedy is formulated.
In most cases, four types of herbs are included in the formula. The first is called emperor. The emperor represents the herbs that treat the main symptoms and their underlying causes.
The second is called minister. The minister helps the emperor to do a better job and also treats accompanying symptoms and their underlying causes.
The third is called assistant. The assistant is the herb that helps both emperor and minister but also harmonizes the formula and eliminates possible toxins and side effects.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Manhattan-based infertility clinic Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York (RMA of New York) has announced the results of a study aimed at identifying the primary motivations behind women who choose to undergo elective oocyte cryopreservation.
What Makes A Woman Freeze: The Impetus Behind Patients' Desires To Undergo Elective Oocyte Cryopreservation by Georgia Witkin, Ph.D., et al., will be presented in an oral session on Monday, October 14th from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the 2013 annual meeting of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) to be held from October 12th through the 17th in Boston, Massachusetts.
The research reveals that women undergo elective oocyte cryopreservation, or "egg freezing" for a variety of social reasons. In her presentation, Dr. Witkin reports that women who had electively chosen to freeze their eggs were commonly concerned that someday they might not medically be able to conceive due to health problems. In other words, they did equate social egg freezing as much a "medical" treatment as an "elective" one.
Other women who participated in the study wanted to preserve their option of future fertility because at the time of consultation, they were neither interested in becoming a single mother by choice nor did they have a partner with whom they wanted to create embryos. The authors also found that egg freezing patients were not yet uncertain whether they wanted to have children in the future.
Georgia Witkin, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist at Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York, counsels women when they consider options for cryopreservation of their eggs. Witkin speaks frequently to the media regarding the topic of egg freezing, and has contributed to articles with The Huffington Post and the Chicago Tribune, citing egg freezing as a matter of control and choice for women who decide to undergo the procedure. In many cases, women who choose egg freezing as an option are uncertain whether they want to have children in the future, however they do not want to miss the opportunity in case they later decide that becoming a parent is important to them. Others may wish to preserve their fertility until they are able to find a partner with which to have a family.
Witkin reported that egg freezing enables women to relax and think more positively about pursuing a career or other life experiences. It can also allow a woman to think less of potential fertility problems, especially in the realm of dating and relationships, and to focus on other aspects of building relationships and forming more positive bonds with potential partners. In all of these cases, oocyte cryopreservation provides a viable option for women who are uncertain of their future reproductive plans.
Georgia Witkin, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist at Reproductive Medicine Associates of New York, as well as an assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Reproductive Science and in the Department of Psychiatry at Mount Sinai Medical Center. Co-authors of the study include Ann Tran, M.D.; Joseph Lee, B.A.; Lisa Schuman, LCSW; Lawrence Grunfeld, M.D.; and Jaime Knopman, M.D.

LA JOLLA, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 14, 2013) - A comprehensive reimbursement guide for regenerative medicine was released today at the third annual Stem Cell Meeting on the Mesa Regen Med Partnering Forum. This guide was developed by the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM), an international organization representing the regenerative medicine community, and comprises a series of white papers designed to help regenerative medicine companies navigate the reimbursement process.
As with all therapies, regenerative medicine products will need to go through a rigorous evaluation and approval process to receive coverage and payment by public health plans and private insurance. This guide was developed to provide information on the coding, coverage and payment processes, as well as address some of the unique issues regenerative medicine therapies may face along the way. While not specific to any one type of regenerative medicine product, these briefs provide companies with early warnings about pitfalls that can be avoided with proper planning and action.
"We believe it is critical to design and implement a reimbursement strategy early in a product's development process, and this guide will offer valuable, timesaving assistance to companies in the regenerative medicine field," said Antonio Montecalvo, Director of Customer Support Services, Organogenesis Inc., and Chair of ARM's Reimbursement Committee. "The potential for regenerative medicine products to cure diseases is tremendous, and we want to help companies bring these therapies to patients as quickly as possible, which, even after FDA approval, will not happen without adequate health plan coverage."
Specific areas covered in this document include:
"One of ARM's goals is to provide our members with the tools they need to succeed in the marketplace, and this resource will certainly provide a lot of reimbursement assistance. We hear over and over from companies and their investors that this is a topic on which they are seeking guidance," said Michael Werner, Executive Director of ARM. "We are also developing additional tools to help regenerative medicine companies with the development and commercialization of their products."
The Regenerative Medicine Reimbursement Guide is available online at http://alliancerm.org/reimbursement
About The Alliance for Regenerative MedicineThe Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM) is a Washington, DC-based multi-stakeholder advocacy organization that promotes legislative, regulatory and reimbursement initiatives necessary to facilitate access to life-giving advances in regenerative medicine. ARM also works to increase public understanding of the field and its potential to transform human healthcare, providing business development and investor outreach services to support the growth of its member companies and research organizations. Prior to the formation of ARM in 2009, there was no advocacy organization operating in Washington, DC to specifically represent the interests of the companies, research institutions, investors and patient groups that comprise the entire regenerative medicine community. Today ARM has more than 140 members and is the leading global advocacy organization in this field. To learn more about ARM or to become a member, visit http://www.alliancerm.org.
