Oriental Medicine & 20/21

Across the county and world, health systems are being stretched thin due to the CV  19 pandemic. While western systems and forms of medicine reach their limits, some are turning to different forms of medicine. In San Miguel County, several practitioners are using integrative medicine to serve the community and support the work of the medical center. Joshua Geetter is a licensed acupuncturist and a clinical and production herbalist. He focuses primarily on Chinese medicine.

“What’s most prescient and efficacious for us right now, especially with ‘shelter in place’ and social distancing would be the herbal medicine, which happens to be the standard of care in the ancient Chinese medicine for epidemiology” says Geetter.

Chinese medical adages say… “You don’t begin digging a well when you are thirsty. You don’t begin to forge a sword when the battle has already begun.”

Over the last 2000 years there have been 320 documented epidemics in China. Because of this, a great deal of knowledge and wisdom has been gained with respect to halting transmission and protecting life.

This is the most cogent and succinct yet thorough discussion of CV - 19 in Traditional Chinese Medicine that we have found. Click here to watch the full video.

"We are now facing a challenging pandemic, the outbreak of CV - 19. As practitioners ourselves, we would like to share important information on how this virus is being treated in China in this presentation. We'd like to invite you to learn how YOU can take a stand against CV - 19 with TCM and how you can utilize the tools and modalities used in China to help prevent the spread of this virus."

Viral infections often start with a sore throat, proceed to the respiratory system, and end with a fever. In my 45 years of healing practice, I have found nothing that can compare with essential oils for dealing with these symptoms. Everyone should have the essential oils that we mention herein on hand, before they are infected so they can deal with the infection from the start instead of having to wait a week or so to get them. The sooner you start, the more effective the treatments will be. According to the ancient Chinese adage, “Do not wait until you are thirsty before you dig your well,” and “Do not wait until the battle starts before you sharpen your sword.”
