Therapeutic gemstones, a unique form of energy medicine, can help with natural weight loss. Therapeutic gems are an alternative therapy that help a person to lose weight naturally without harmful side effects.
Ideally, a weight loss plan helps you create a healthier way to live and enables you to become more energized and full of life. A healthy plan not only helps you lose weight effectively, but also works with your body to address the underlying causes of weight gain, so you keep the weight off. Therapeutic gemstones are natural and effective tools for supporting a healthy weight loss plan. They can help relieve craving, stimulate metabolism, and increase energy.
Unhealthy weight gain has become a worldwide issue. Today one in three adults on our planet is overweight, and one in ten is obese. Weight gain is such an epidemic that health experts have even coined a term for it: “globesity.”
In the past, most people didn’t have access to as many high-calorie foods as we now do, and life required much more physical exertion. With the comforts of modern living, we have the doubtful luxury of getting heavier than ever. Yet, for our health and well-being, we need to stay slim. The good news is that, for someone who is overweight, even a small amount of weight loss can make a major difference in the healthy functioning of every part of the body.
In my practice as a naturopathic physician, I’ve found some surprising and effective tools for supporting progress toward healthy weight. I often recommend using therapeutic gemstones. These gems produce consistent and often remarkable results. Simply by wearing therapeutic gems around your neck, you can experience continual support from the gems’ healing energies.

JOINT PAINS – - A Chinese herbal prescription.
Everybody has suffered from joint pains one time or another except those at very young age.
Causes of joint pains:
• Age will definitely worsen your joint pains.
• Overexertion in work, sports or other activities.
• Overexposure to cold, wind and damp such as insufficient clothing to protect the body against the elements.
• Not enough rest due to work, travel, and other activities.
• Sudden change in weather especially humidity.
• Uric acid from food, known as Gout in Western medicine.
• A previous joint injury may result in periodic pains after recovery.
• Flu or cold can cause temporary aches and pains, which will disappear when the flu passes.
Nature of joint pains:
• Long-term condition subject to occasional flare-ups triggered by the causes described above.
• Aging causes more pains, possibly deformation of joints too.
• Joint pains accompanied by swelling are more serious.
• Very difficult to cure joint pains completely. Expect only improvements in the following areas: intensity of pains, duration, degree of swelling if any, and the frequency of flare-ups.
• A certain degree of tiredness always accompanies the pains.
• Painkillers or numbing with ice can only reduce the pains but cannot get to the roots of the problem.
External treatment:
• Gentle and slow exercise such as Tai Chi, Yoga, or swimming.
• Heat treatment with pad or lamp.
• Massage by people or machine.
• Acupuncture.
* Various oitments with different ingredients.
Internal treatment:
The Chinese approach is to enhance the blood circulation with herbs. The Chinese name for joint pains is 風濕病, literally translated as “wind damp disease”. This is related to the observation that joint pains become more acute in windy and damp weather conditions. The herbs used to enhance blood circulation will flush out the wind and damp, as well as cold absorbed by the body from the environment. Improved blood circulation also helps reduce swelling. The effects will last much longer than external treatment since the herbs also strengthen the bones and tendons.
The basic prescription for joint pains is focused on strengthening blood circulation, bones and tendons. It also tries to expel the environmental factors being absorbed into the body such as wind, damp and cold:
1) Blood circulation
Sang Ji Sheng 桑 寄 生
Gui Zhi 桂 枝
Du Huo 獨 活
Ｗu Jia Pi 五 加 皮
2) Bones and tendons
San Qi 三 七 （田 七）
Niu Xi 牛 膝
Gu Sui Bu 骨 碎 補
Bu Gu Zhi 補 骨 脂
3) Expel wind/damp/cold
Jiang Huo 姜 活
Fang Feng 防 風
Bi Xie 箄 解
Ze Xie 澤 瀉
A combination of 12 herbs is recommended.
Drink one cup (8 oz) of herb tea a day, preferably in the morning to allow time for dissipation of excess heat.
This is just one formula with countless variations depending on:
* How acute is the pain and where.
* Any swelling and where.
* How sensitive is your body to the strengthening herbs.
