Chinese herbs address Bone Support and Bone Health

Chinese herbalism, from the very beginning of its development, has recognized the importance of the human body's skeletal framework. Traditional Chinese herb practitioners consider our bones as another organ of the body, a living tissue that plays key roles in sustaining our immune system. As a result, herbalists have been discovering and characterizing herbs that provided support for the various tissues of the skeleton, because just like every other organ, it is intricately connected to vitality and the well-being of our entire system. Bone health related problems are symptomatic of various internal imbalances. These can range from the less than optimal functioning of kidneys and liver, which modify vitamins for use in bone structuring, to the delicate acid-alkaline balance in the small intestines that are responsible for absorbing calcium.

Modern lifestyle has us consuming a lot of calcium leaching foods on a regular basis. The impact is only felt later into the years when bone related problems start to occur. Therefore, it is of critical importance that while addressing bone support and bone health the overall health of the body is made the focus. Western science has developed synthetic methods of reducing the impact of age on bones and overcoming loss by consuming artificial supplements to avoid various bone related maladies. The Chinese herbal tradition, on the other hand, has remained steadfast in its underlying philosophy that harmony can be, and must be, achieved naturally. Hence, all Chinese herbal formulas are developed for naturally strengthening internal body system. As a result, they boost vitality, and enhance the natural ability of the body to consume relevant nutrients from the food for better and healthier bones.
