For people who want to cultivate the deepest energy to
An alternative to treating each symptom separately is to cultivate deep energy and how all the organs work together as a system to heal all symptoms and hidden causes.
The Chinese medicine herbal framework has 3 key concepts called the 3 Treasures:
Jing is considered the deepest root energy and is associated with the kidneys, reproduction, brain, and bone marrow.
(Notice they did not say “adrenals” that is the magic word for westerners who think this gland is the key to energy, isolated from other systems. Expanding to the HPA axis does not help much. Just because adrenals are on top of the kidneys does not mean they finally figured it out: the Western mind moves toward something smaller and more reductionist. )
These body parts might seem unrelated to the Western specialized and fragmented mind, but the ancient Chinese herbals who observed bodies and nature carefully were able to make some connections. I call one connection “creation energy.”
Why kidneys are the root energy organ I have never seen fully explained in western scientific terms. I think it has to with how kidneys balance minerals in the body since electrolyte minerals like magnesium, potassium and sodium are so essential to energy production as cofactors for other foods, without which we develop food intolerances, like to dairy.
Sexual reproduction is creation energy.
Bone marrow produces stem cells that specialize to regenerate organs, and create blood cells including white blood cells for immunity.
Brain is obvious in importance and regulates rest and decision making in health. The brain is also creative.
MEAT
The most direct solution in Chinese medicine follows like cures like: eat kidney meat to rejuvenate kidneys.
At the worst of chronic fatigue kidney meat made the biggest difference.
Placenta can also be used as it is part of reproductive energy.
Cooked bone broths are overrated in my experience and not mentioned much in herbals to my knowledge.
HERBS
Herbalism presents so many choices and people mostly only know about the more heavily marketed and expensive ones: like reishi, cordyceps, ginseng, deer antler, etc.
Chinese medicine also provides the core concept of yin and yang energy that cuts across all of the above 3 treasures.
Yin Jing is where you start to generate when the most exhausted.
The fastest acting yin jing tonic I know of is dendrobium.
Yang jing at the other end of the spectrum includes deer antler, seen as a source of testosterone and growth factor for when all the basic organs are working and you can increase performance. This does not work until yin jing is rejuvenated and, when not, feels over stimulating and unbalancing.
Yin is feminine and mother comes first.
Yang is masculine and father is for when you are strong enough to go out into the world.
Cheaper more balanced herbs for any stage and the long run are things like gynostemma and star anise, a common cooking spice, which is “for” just about everything. Things like these are for deep energy that may lean different ways like warming or cooling.
For best results I use as raw powders in capsules or in bulk ground in a coffee grinder if not already a powder.
Teas use heat that destroys nutrients.
Extracts and teas do not provide the whole plant with its fibers that may be prebiotics that feed good bacteria.
It depend what it is: reishi needs to be extracted, with some products using water and alcohol both.
FAT
Chinese herbalism does not mention fat as much but I did find a nutrition book by a French chi gong master utilizing some ancient transcripts at Muwangdui from around 200 BC. I forgot her name and the book title.
She mentions dairy (which would have been raw) and eggs.
Dairy is milk and cheese from sheep, goat and cow or buffalo.
These have cholesterol in raw form, the most utilizable form with all enzymes to help digestion and no nutrients destroyed by heat.
Cholesterol and the animal fats in which it found have many functions the body and does not have to eaten in moderation.
The brain and nerve sheathings are very high in fat and cholesterol.
Fats can help absorb toxins.
Every cell uses cholesterol.
Sex and stress hormones are made from cholesterol.
It’s not just the cholesterol since hormones are not the point, but everything contained in the fat: fat for energy, vitamin A, minerals, etc.
Both have sulfur and amino acids used to produce glutathione as a major antioxidant.
Cholesterol is also a component of bile, along with lecithin found richly in egg yolks.
Milk and eggs are actually the two most complete foods and thus “for” everything.
Of course many people are allergic to these foods, especially when pasteurized or cooked and other reasons relative to a gut wrecked from antibiotics and toxins.
SUN
Sun is related to water which is what the kidneys regulate and symbolize.
Sun charges the water of the body like a battery.
Through Einstein’s photoelectric effect photons generate electrons.
This is explained in Pollack’s theory of exclusion zone water and Cowan’s theory of cardiology.
I don’t know any Chinese medicine references to sun, but it may be taken for granted as must people were probably outdoors a lot. Except perhaps the elites that spent time indoors to keep their skin white and had to compensate with tonic herbs for energy and keep their sex drive high. I use more herbs in the Michigan winter to compensate and it makes a huge difference.
Deep energy is “for” everything.
It’s conceptual, not A to B, take this for that.
It’s root cause level of energy to fix and do everything.
It’s more about a few underlying patterns that determine the surface manifestation symptoms.
TESTING
I energetically test to select what I need using muscle testing on myself.
I can test from pictures in online catalogs and Amazon and narrow it down by categories rather than test every single option so it only takes a few minutes.
This is much faster than diagnosing and analyzing and then trying to deduce what I need.
People have complained there is so much variability in Chinese medicine recommendations either in the pulse reading or in choosing from many possible options, although it can be helpful to help give direction.
Energetic testing is more like the instinctive eating animals: you move directly toward the solution you resonate with.
Animals don’t assess their needs in their minds, they move around toward what they crave and try things. I watched deer bite one thing at a time in my garden until they found what they liked, usually the flowers go first, maybe like eating bee pollen.
It’s fun to see patterns in 2-3 things I selected, in what those herbs are for, and then reverse engineer the explanation that can help focus further testing of solutions.
- reverse aging at 50 or 60
- or 25 year olds with chronic fatigue that feel 80
An alternative to treating each symptom separately is to cultivate deep energy and how all the organs work together as a system to heal all symptoms and hidden causes.
The Chinese medicine herbal framework has 3 key concepts called the 3 Treasures:
- Jing: the deepest energy that feeds the other organs.
- Chi: the energy of organs working together.
- Shen: the heart-mind-spirit rooted in the body that constitutes the level of peace you feel for rest and to make better health decisions.
Jing is considered the deepest root energy and is associated with the kidneys, reproduction, brain, and bone marrow.
