Traditional Chinese Medicine Spices Natural Treatment

The Chinese have introduced their traditional form of natural treatment in Cameroon

The use of natural plants to do treatment in Cameroon has been on an increase. Each day there are new kinds of treatments which some traditional doctors claim they have discovered to cure particular diseases. there is always a crowd that follows these so called healers because of maybe frustrating situations they have faced using conventional medicine or otherwise.
With the coming of the Chinese in Cameroon they have brought their own form of natural treatment. There are even Cameroonians who have gone to china and learnt the traditional treatment and are now practicing it in Cameroon
Practices include treatments such as Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary therapy, and massage. There is also the ginseng plant which is used in food drinks, lotions, among others and it is said to be very effective in cleansing the body system.
Talking to one of the Chinese Traditional Medicine, TCM, doctors who is Cameroonian, he said TCM has formed a unique system to diagnose and cure illness. The TCM approach he said is fundamentally different from that of western medicine treatment of illness which is based primarily on the diagnosis and differentiation of syndromes.
The TCM approach treats organs as the core of the human body. Tissue and organs are connected he said through a network of channels and blood vessels inside the human body.
Treatment is not based only on the symptoms, but differentiation of syndromes. Therefore, those with an identical disease may be treated in different ways, and on the other hand, different diseases may result in the same syndrome and are treated in similar ways.
The typical TCM therapies he added include; acupuncture, herbal medicine, and what they call qigong exercises. With acupuncture, he said, treatment is accomplished by stimulating certain areas of the external body. Herbal medicine acts on organs internally, while qigong tries to restore the orderly information flow inside the network through the regulation of iQ. “These therapies appear very different in approach yet they all share the same underlying sets of assumptions and insights in the nature of the human body and its place in the universe”, he said.
