The very word herb conjures up greenness, naturalness, gentleness and healing. Indeed, these are exactly the qualities of herbs, and the Western world has realized that the common herb is the bais of all medicine. If you are after a Chinese herb, the chances are that it is available now in the West. Many herbal cures are explained on the internet, and many natural herbs are available in tea, capsule or other forms for use in home cures and treatments for diseases and ailments.

Healing herbs are plentiful. In fact, every herb has one healing property or another. Take tea tree oil. This powerful oil comes from an Australian bush and has powerful antiseptic and antibacterial properties that are now widely used all over the western world. The Bach flower remedies are also widely used, especially the most famous one, called Rescue Remedy. With the opening up of China to the west, a wealth of Chinese herbs and the accompanying herbal wisdom have become available to us too.

Whereas about 50 years ago no one had a herb garden any more, now everyone has some kind of herb garden, whether a full blown traditional knot garden or simply a pot of thyme on the kitchen window sill. Just about everyone alternates between coffee, Ceylon tea and a herb tea, while many people refuse to touch traditional refreshments and drink herbal teas exclusively.

Finally there has been a massive return to medicinal herbs in the form of supplement treatment, aromatherapy and many other therapies. Inform yourself about herbs and enjoy them!

Chinese food is a specialty that many people love. The menus are different from what we know. Here, a ravioli with steam in a Chinese restaurant, offering buffet for few dollars. Good appetite and eat well.
