Consider size, constitution, timing, and other    factors affecting each unique person. Frequent use (as often as every twenty    minutes) may be required in certain circumstances. With more experience and    some anticipation, you won't need to consume a large quantity of herbs. The    suggested maximum amount per day is 24 capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContinue with the Basic Way for a couple of days to ensure restoration of righteous chi. When the process is complete, the system is often stronger for having been challenged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eBuilding Righteous Chi\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriental medicine focuses on nourishing a functional and  well-designed system. Here in the west, we are much more familiar with  chasing the symptoms that are the result of a failure of the system. To  work in the Chinese way requires an understanding of \"chi.\" This is an  elusive term that is impossible to translate and difficult to define.  Whether it can be pinned down or not, the presence or absence of chi is  easily identified.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The next time you are in a public place  attempt to assess people's level of chi. Who are the ones that are  robust, vital, and healthy? It's not necessarily the biggest or the  strongest. Vital healthy chi might even be most present in the children  you see. Notice the light in the eyes and the spring in the step. Look  for inner strength and outward glow. A smile is a good giveaway because  that person is projecting a feeling of well-being and an attitude of  confidence. When your righteous chi is strong, you radiate good health.  You feel protected, nourished, and able to flow with the alternations of  daily life. Righteous chi is an extremely valuable commodity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Without strong, freely-flowing chi you are left vulnerable, weak, and  unable to cope with the multitude of invasions virtually lurking  everywhere. Recirculated air, unfamiliar foods, traumatic injuries,  anything that challenges our health is called \"vicious chi.\" If the  invading force is strong and the chi is weak, the Chinese say that an  \"unwanted guest? may enter the house. Why is it that the unwanted guest  constantly disrupts the lives of some and goes unnoticed by others?  Building righteous chi prevents the unwanted guest from draining energy  and causing chaos in the body, mind, or spirit.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Fluctuations in  weather are a good example of an assault on our bodies. In Colorado, we  might awaken to a temperature of 32 degrees and, by afternoon, we are  peeling off the layers as the thermostat climbs to 65. If it's a day in  January, we could be looking at a sudden cold snap where the temperature  drops twenty below by nightfall.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The natural cycle of things  would dictate that fall is a time of harvest and consolidation, yet for  many, especially women, this time becomes one of extreme activity.  Children start school and there is an onslaught of holidays. Though  often enjoyable, the harvest\/consolidation time becomes filled with  cooking, shopping, driving, doing, and on and on. The righteous chi is  further weakened as the vicious chi becomes stronger. There is increased  stress and an increased number of viral and bacterial invasions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Chinese medical philosophy is highly tuned to seasonal shifts and it  would benefit us to pay attention and anticipate their effect. During  the fall, we begin to move indoors and here we encounter another demand  on our systems. We are literally stepping into an incubation chamber. It  can be found in classrooms and shopping malls - anywhere people gather.  Using heaters and fireplaces to stay warm causes alternate cold and dry  heat that results in dehydration - another invasion.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  Experience the distinction between chasing symptoms and strengthening  righteous chi. While battling symptoms, an inordinate amount of energy  is spent attacking the invasive factors that are seen as the cause of  the illness. The resultant symptoms are branches of the disease and only  they are addressed while the root is ignored. We are offered  antihistamines to open nasal passages, suppressants to quiet a cough,  pain relievers to handle body aches. Side effects are often part of the  process like feeling buzzed, drained, or dried up.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Building  righteous chi supports the idea that you can be in charge of your life  and not live in a prison of expectations and stress. Obligations give  way to creativity and then become endeavors that are more fulfilling.  With health and strong chi there is movement and the unwanted guest  cannot penetrate. When strengthening the system, you do not stimulate,  stifle, or eliminate, but rather bring about balance at the deepest  levels.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e There has been much talk in women's circles about  boundaries and their importance. As we are pressed by the demands of our  jobs, relationships, and responsibilities, we tend to contract away  from life. We close doors and put up walls for protection. In so doing,  we close the doors to nourishment and hinder the ability to assimilate  experiences. The result is a relative disharmony between the energy we  are utilizing to protect ourselves and that which is meant to keep us  strong and nourished. We literally rob our righteous chi to support the  perceived need for protection. The digestive function is particularly  vulnerable to invasion by the stresses of modern life and these  boundaries. It is fine to increase protection if we also allow  nourishment to occur.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The body is a good design. When  functioning at its optimum level the unwanted guest has no chance to  move in and invade. With righteous chi the symptoms are taken care of by  the appropriate system be it digestive, immunological, or simply raw  constitutional strength.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Now is a good time to take advantage  of the fabulous benefits of the Chinese system of acupuncture and  herbology. It's the way to learn about yourself and what influences your  well-being. Think back to that group of people you were studying. Can  you pick out who will be sick tomorrow? You will certainly be able to  identify those who won't be by assessing who has strong chi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 Capsules\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2  Capsules\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Servings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFACTS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"4\" border=\"0\"\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd height=\"40\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"sfServings\"\u003eServing Size:\u003cstrong\u003e 2 Capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e      Servings per Container:\u003cstrong\u003e 30\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd bgcolor=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/images\/clear.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"2\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"4\" border=\"0\" class=\"sfColumnTitles\"\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd width=\"270\" height=\"19\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e    \u003ctd width=\"124\" align=\"right\"\u003eAmount Per Serving\u003c\/td\u003e    \u003ctd width=\"90\" align=\"right\"\u003e% Daily Value*\u003c\/td\u003e  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"4\" border=\"0\" class=\"sfColumns\"\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd height=\"3\" colspan=\"3\" bgcolor=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/images\/clear.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"2\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e  \u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd valign=\"top\" width=\"270\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCold Snap Blend:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e •       \u003cstrong\u003ePhragmites\u003c\/strong\u003e (root) - Rhizoma Phragmitis Communis Recens       (xian lu gen)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eForsythia\u003c\/strong\u003e (fruit) - Fructus Forsythiiae       Suspensae (lian qiao)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eJapanese honeysuckle\u003c\/strong\u003e       (flower) - Flos Lonicerae Japonicae (jin yin hua)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eBurdock\u003c\/strong\u003e       (fruit) - Fructus Arctii Lappae (niu bang zi)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eSoybean       - \u003c\/strong\u003eSemen Sojae Praeparata (dan dou chi)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eLophatherium\u003c\/strong\u003e       (leaves) - Herba Lophatheri Gracilis (dan zhu ye)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eBalloon       flower\u003c\/strong\u003e (root) - Radix Platycodi Grandiflori (jie geng)\u003cbr\u003e •       \u003cstrong\u003eChinese thoroughwax\u003c\/strong\u003e (root) - Radix Bupleuri (chai hu)\u003cbr\u003e       • \u003cstrong\u003eSchizonepeta\u003c\/strong\u003e (herb, flower) - Herba seu Flos Schizonepetae       Tenuifoliae (jing jie)\u003cbr\u003e •\u003cstrong\u003e Pinellia\u003c\/strong\u003e (root) - Rhizoma       Pinelliae Ternatae (ban xia)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eJujube\u003c\/strong\u003e (fruit)       - Fructus Zizyphi Jujubae (da zao)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eScullcap\u003c\/strong\u003e       (root) - Radix Scutellariae (huang qin)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eOriental ginseng\u003c\/strong\u003e       (root) - Radix Ginseng (ren shen)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eChinese mint\u003c\/strong\u003e       (leaves) - Herba Menthae Haplocalycis (bo he)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eGinger\u003c\/strong\u003e       (root) - Rhizoma Zingiberis Officinalis Recens (sheng jiang)\u003cbr\u003e •       \u003cstrong\u003eLicorice\u003c\/strong\u003e (root) - Radix Glycyrrhizae Ualensis (gan cao)\u003cbr\u003e       • \u003cstrong\u003eDong quai \u003c\/strong\u003e(root) - Radix Angelicae Sinensis (dang       gui)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eWhite peony\u003c\/strong\u003e (root) - Radix Paeonia Lactiflorae       (bai shao)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eSichuan lovage\u003c\/strong\u003e (root) - Radix Ligustici       Chuanxiong (chuan xiong)\u003cbr\u003e • \u003cstrong\u003eRehmannia \u003c\/strong\u003e(root) -       Radix Rehmanniae Glutinosae Conquitae (shu di huang)\u003c\/td\u003e    \u003ctd valign=\"top\" align=\"right\" width=\"124\"\u003e 1.2 g\u003c\/td\u003e    \u003ctd valign=\"top\" align=\"right\" width=\"90\"\u003e** \u003c\/td\u003e  \u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd height=\"2\" colspan=\"3\" bgcolor=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/images\/clear.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"2\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"4\" border=\"0\" class=\"sfFooter\"\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd width=\"597\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e* Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
