Chinese herbal tonics have been used by billions of people for more than 4000 years. The science and knowledge behind the use of these tonics is breathtaking. Herbal tonics are used to enhance the energetics of the human body. They are broken down into 3 categories called the 3 Treasures. Jing is our primal energy, our life force and power. Qi (chi) is the energy we use on a daily basis to do what we do and shen is the energy or light we radiate to the world.
This is only a brief description. Consider a candle - jing is the wax we burn during our life, qi is the wick and flame which represents the energy we use daily while the light the candle emits represents the light we as humans emit. A big huge candle would be full of jing, while a little birthday candle would be short of jing and would burn out quickly...Which one do you want to be.
Consider your lifestyle. Are you adding or subtracting jing energy?
Tomorrow I will share with you on which are the best herbs to help build the THREE TREASURES.
