True. In fact, smelling the bottle could provide a dose. The reason for 3
pillules and not just 1 is a statistical concern that one pellet in the
bottle may not have gotten coated in the succussed fluid, and if you give
three you are to some degree certain that a dose was given. But a child could
consume an entire bottle of Chamomila as one dose, which would just be a
waste. Given periodically (in this example say of teething, a
non-constitutional complaint), the same amount of pillules could accomplish a
lot more.

Very interesting information. What makes you say that it is due to HEAT?
What is your experience in this area? Are you a doctor? You sound very
competent on the topic, but I have always read research indicated it was
hormones, not heat….

I read in a book about two herbs for hair loss. It says:
Two herbs, Fructue viticis and Radix argelicae are reported to inhibit
loss and promote growth…
What are these herbs? Is there a common name for them?
Thanks

Well, I speak as a practitioner of East-Asian Traditional Healing, the system
of healing that developed acupuncture (and other arts).
The concept is surprisingly simple. Heat rises. As Heat accumulates in any
acupuncture Channel, it tends to rise along that Channel, in some cases even
subverting the normal flow of that Channel’s Qi (roughly, =energy). Ask
yourself why baldness develops _where_ it does. Doesn’t it seem odd that male
pattern baldness should progress in specific areas? Even if hormone-caused,
why this pattern?
ETH offers a theory. In acupuncture Channel theory, the upper corners of the
forehead are the highpoint of the Stomach Channel. Heat accumulating in that
Channel due to coffee, alcohol, skipped and delayed meals, and excess
consumption of Heating foods like flesh foods or spicy, greasy foods will
rise to that point and scorch the hair roots. In the same area is the
zigzagged Gallbladder Channel, which accumulates the Heat of frustration,
anger, and "Liver system" imbalance, and scorches hair roots along the sides,
in the narrow ‘V’ patterns so often seen in aggressive men. Baldness in the
back of the head is due to Heat accumulating in the Bladder Channel, and is a
warning sign of prostate problems.
The value of this theory begins to become clear when those patterns of
balding are correlated to phenomena of imbalance in the related systems. So
the recommendation is to Clear Heat from your body and your life, both to
spare your Organs and your hair.
Note that some cases of balding are not due to Heat, but it is by far the
usual concommitant Pathogenic factor in the West, given our orientation to
ambition and our penchant to run on empty (which also produces a kind of
internal Heat from Emptiness, like a car low on oil. That Emptiness Heat is
another cause of balding, but this will progress slower, and is more likely
in those with fine hair). Grayness without balding is due to a separate
mechanism, for another post.

Interesting. Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Mine seems to be the normal frontal V starting to set in. I don’t drink
coffee, don’t smoke, and have never drank alcohol.
What herbs should be taken to cool this area?
Thanks

Why those that will enter the Stomach Meridian and selectively travel
to your forehead, of course. Naturally, they must have "Cooling"
properties as well because, "You can’t be too careful" dontchaknow.

How many people have you treated herbally for hair loss? How many
successfully grew back hair?

The issue in cases where external Heat sources aren’t a factor is skipping or
delaying meals. Since the Heat is rising from the torso, Cooling the area is
less the issue than Cooling the Hot Organs. How is your own sense of body
temperature? Are you ‘warm-blooded’?

Is there any research to prove this? If so, could you please cite it?
(If you can’t, you should state so. Otherwise, you’re a quack…)

Ignore this guy. He’s unfamiliar with medical research going on in his
field. He’s basically into spouting his dubious philosphy. I’d bet he
*does* help *some* people. Although there’s absolutely no evidence
supporting the philosphy he espouses, some of his remedies probably
do work. This is not unusual, because in most folk medicines (and ETH
as practiced by this guy is certianly folk), there are parts of it
do indeed work. Medievel ‘demonic’ philosphy promoted drilling holes
in people’s skulls if they had bad headaches, to let the demons out.
This worked sometimes, because some of the people *did* have high
intracranial pressure, and drilling holes released the pressure.
Here, the medievel doc did the right thing, for all the wrong reasons.
This is a common experience with folk medicine in general. I’m
conserned that without scientific grounding, Paul probably fits in this
group. Paul is certianly well-meaning and truely cares. However, he
lacks the scientific background to protect himself and his patients from
folk medicine that does not work. Paul typifies a true-believing crank:
a kind, sincere, honest man who happens to be totally unscientific in
his approach, who doesn’t respect science, and can easily and unwittingly
endanger the health and welfare of others.

Hmmmm. This relates to some discussions I have been involved in recently
about the history of science and technology. In reality, science does not
usually precede technology, but rather the other way around, and this was
especially true in the past.
Medieval doctors and modern doctors alike used treatments that worked but
they didn’t know why. The explanation may come much later.
Therefore, society develops an explanation for why the treatment works
based on the current paradigms. If your paradigm does not include demons,
then the medievel doctor seems ridiculous to you. I doubt that the
first trephining happened because someone said "Gee, there must be demons
in your head, let’s let them out". More likely the value of this
procedure was discovered accidentally or through experimentation and the
explanation came later.
Sooo, alternative medicine may work in many cases but the explanations
are not consistent with your paradigms.
DragonSlayer, I welcome evidence, scientific or anecdotal, to refute the
claims of people on this list. I even welcome your opinions. However, I
request your respect for the other posters and readers. You don’t need to
protect anyone from "cranks". I’m sure we can all make up our own minds
about how to have healthy lives. (-:
