JAPANESE
HERBS
Description
Herbs and plants have been used as medicine in every civilized
culture since the beginning of recorded time. It was not that
long ago that herbal medicine was essentially the only kind
of medicine available for the world's population - and we
did pretty well with it.
Eber’s papyrus
informs us that in 3,500 BC Egyptians chewed on myrtle leaves,
and we know that in America the native Indian chewed on the
bark of the white willow tree, to reduce pain, fever and
inflammation. It was not until 1829 that both of these
remedies were found to contain salicin (salicylic acid), the
active ingredient responsible for these benefits. Guided by
this ancient information, on March 6, 1889 the German company,
Bayer, patented aspirin. This is just one example of folk
remedies and simple cause and effect observations being far
ahead of science. Today up to 75% of the world population
still relies on herbal medicines. More than 50% of medicines used
in the U.S. are of plant origin. Eventually science catches up
to common folks, but only after first soundly condemning what
it does not understand.
Two famous 1,000 year-old Japanese herbal formulas,
keishi-bukuryo-gan (KBG) and hachimi-jio-gan (HJG), are other
examples of ancient knowledge being discovered and examined by
science today. They are used also in China where each has an
equally difficult name; KBG is known as gui-zhi-fu-ling-wan,
and HJG is known as bai wei di huang wan.
KBG has gotten a lot of interest in the last 20 years because
of its great reputation with several problems: various
menstrual and menopausal complaints(1-5), endometriosis(6)
and uterine fibroids(7-8), poor circulation(9-10) stroke(11) and atherosclerosis.(12) Because of the widespread use of
KBG to treat many conditions, a deliberate effort was made to
learn more about it and to determine if there were additional
areas of potential use. This investigation and study brought
out many discoveries about KBG and some might even apply,
indirectly of course, to PD.
HJG has also been researched extensively, confirming several
important areas in which it demonstrates possible use: fatigue(13), kidney disease(14-15) bone healing(16), benign
prostate hyperplasia(17-19), poor circulation(20), weak
immune response(21-26), insomnia(27), poor digestion(28,
29), osteoporosis(30), memory impairment(31), male
infertility(32), diabetes(33), and cataracts.(34, 35)
Don’t be confused by these last two paragraphs. They are
presented for two reasons: To show that extensive research has
been done on these two herbal remedies to understand how they
work. Second, to verify they actually do effect a wide and
diverse range of systems and areas of the body to influence
health. This information just displays that each can affect
the biochemistry of the body, that’s all. Which of the two
might be of help to you is discussed below.
Understanding
Acupuncture
There is no way to fully explain acupuncture and Asian healing
concepts here. It would take hours of reading for only a
slight understanding of what these herbs can do for PD.
Therefore, please understand the topic of this paragraph will
not be explained fully or provide a full understanding of
Oriental healing. With that in mind, according to the concepts
of acupuncture and yin/yang philosophy, PD is an example of
stagnant energy or chi. Yes, that’s correct. The acupuncturist
would approach the problem of PD from the entirely different
direction of simple energy, not the scar itself. While he or she
would admit there is a scar in the tunica albuginea and all
the other anatomy, chemistry, and physiology you know about PD
from a Western scientific basis, yet the acupuncturist would
ignore that Western knowledge and work from the entirely
different viewpoint of “stuck energy”. It sounds strange and
incorrect to the Western mind, but perfectly sensible to the
Eastern mind. So in this context – while recognizing and
agreeing the excess collagen build up created the scar in the
tunica does exist, and is the basis of PD – the acupuncturist
would temporarily ignore all of that, and approach PD
energetically. Since the acupuncture diagnosis is that the PD
lump is stagnant energy, treatment would be to simply get the
energy to move enabling it to spread throughout the body.
These two herbal remedies under discussion are part of a larger system of
acupuncture treatment that moves stagnated, or stuck, energy
that has precipitated into a lump anywhere in the body. These
are wonderful herbal products with amazing ability to
influence the body – just as they have for thousands of years.
Only one product is used – either KBG or HJG – based on body
type and constitution; they are not taken together. While both
have a widespread effect on multiple areas of the body and
health in general, each works best for a specific constitution
type. To get maximum benefit from either KBG or HJG it is
first necessary to figure out which of the two fundamental
types you represent. Although you might recognize yourself in
both columns, you will find one list describes you better than
the other.
Look at the lists below, and determine which of the two
describes you most closely:
|
KBG Type |
HJG Type |
1. Aggressive, forceful
2. Confident nature
3. High energy person
4. Doesn’t need much sleep
5. Ruddy, good color to complexion
6. Full face
7. Muscular or stocky body frame
8. Healthy nature, not sick easily
9. Likes cold
10. Dislikes heat
11. Prone to headaches
12. Good circulation
13. Shoulders ache |
1. Easy going, passive
2. Self-doubting nature
3. Low energy person
4. Needs a lot of sleep
5. Pale complexion
6. Thin face
7. Average or small bone frame, frail
8. Long medical history, gets sick easily
9. Likes warmth
10. Dislikes cold
11. Many problems with legs, weak legs
12. Cold feet and hands
13. Prostate problems |
Wide range of
benefits
KBG and HJG are effective in such a wide variety of conditions
because they each impact on many basic biochemical processes:
1. Free radical elimination
2. Improvement of blood flow
3. Strengthen immune response after injury
4. Promote functional organ activity
5. Improve red blood cell structure and function
6. Prevent progression of fibrous tissue buildup after injury
Science
Perhaps the most likely explanation for the potential benefit
of KBG to scleroderma, and perhaps KBG’s benefit to PD also,
comes from its strong free radical scavenging activity. What
is interesting to note about KBG is that the level and degree
of free radical activity is concentration-dependent, meaning
the greater the concentration or dose the greater the free
radical scavenging response.(36,37) With this in mind, you can
attempt to help yourself further by pushing the dosage to a
reasonably high level for maximum potential benefit. Further
studies have gone on to suggest this strong protection from
free radical activity inhibits the early stage of
atherosclerosis (38) in which fibrous tissue build-up takes
place in the walls of the blood vessels in response to free
radical release by PMNs. This same effect occurs in a similar
way in red blood cells.(39)
PD Connection
Of course, the last entry above, about preventing progression
of fibrous tissue buildup after injury makes KBG and HJG
important to PD. All of these findings are of indirect benefit
to PD. Each of the two herbal formulas work to move stagnant
energy, and from an Eastern standpoint this is why each can be
considered potentially beneficial to PD. One is not better
than the other. One is selected over the other based on how
your body energy works with the herbal energy of KBG and HJG.
Western research is currently taking a closer look at KBG than
HJG. This does not mean KBG is better or more effective than
HJG; it just means that KBG has a peculiar property that is of
keen interest right now to the researchers. It just so happens
KBG has a favorable effect on our old friend, scleroderma. As
reported in earlier sections, scleroderma is a condition of
unknown cause and irregular course of progression that causes
a hardening and thickening of fibrous elements of the skin.
Scleroderma has enough similarity to PD, to suggest that what
is beneficial to scleroderma has reasonable potential to also
help PD. So this is a double PD connection.
In both Japan and China KBG been used with success to treat
scleroderma, even though they do not have a clear explanation
for how and why it works. However, there is one research
report(40) in particular that is most close to PD, even though
once again there is no direct emphasis to PD. The abstract of
this study comments that KBG “significantly and selectively
inhibited collagen synthesis in a dose-dependent manner, with
a tendency of a stronger effect on scleroderma.” This is, of
course, a good explanation for why KBG is effective in
treating scleroderma, but it is also good news for those with
PD because of the similarity of tissue changes at the root of
both conditions.
If your body type directs you to use HJG, then that is the
formula you should consider. Do not be swayed by all the
publicity KBG has received. Maybe next year more research will
come out finding the same things about KBG are also true for
HJG. Just keep in mind that not only do these herbs do great
things for the body from an Eastern standpoint, but they can
be proven from a Western standpoint as well.
KBG and HJG are herbal preparations that have enjoyed popular
use in China and Japan, because of their widespread benefits,
for over 1,000 years. Just recently science has found good
evidence that they influence body chemistry and physiology in
beneficial ways. Also, from an Eastern or acupuncture
standpoint, KBG and HJG work to move blocked or stagnated
energy in the body. Either way you look at it – Western or
Eastern – they might be able to help your PD.
PDI recommends if you are strongly a KBG or HJG type of
individual, that you give serious consideration to the use of
that particular herbal formula. In other words, the more you
see yourself described in either type the more you could
benefit from the use of that remedy. The use of Oriental
herbals in your therapy plan gives you strong diversity of
direction and broadens your effort to support your tissue
response to PD.
Herbal Product
Recommendation
Honso Kampo Herbal Company utilizes Western methods to create
Eastern herbal formulas. The products and formulae from this
company are used in hospital and university research,
something that cannot be said of many similar companies. Since
1967 the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (the
same government office as the U.S. FDA that regulates
pharmaceutical manufacturers) has approved 148 Kampo formulas
for coverage and reimbursement in Japan’s national health
insurance plan. Today, 75% of Japanese MDs prescribe Kampo
formulas for their patients.
Honso Kampo Herbal Company has an outstanding reputation in
the field, and
PDI is proud to have their KBG and HJG products
available for your use.
Suggested Herbal
Therapy
Begin herbal therapy slowly, to accustom your body to the
various changes that will occur as a result of energy
movement. Start with two capsules daily, divided at the
morning and evening meal. After a week, increase to four daily
also divided at the morning and evening meal.
