jianzhi https://www.echineselearning.com/blog/?p=8005268 “斜杠青年(xiégāng qīngnián),” or, “Slashers”, are people who make multiple income streams simultaneously from different careers.

“斜杠(xiégàng)” literally means “slash” in English, and refers to the “/” (particularly the key on the computer keyboard). The term was coined by Marci Alboher, a New York Times columnist, in her book One Person/Multiple Careers, in which she used “slashers” to refer to people with multiple occupations and identities.

The concept of “斜杠(xiégàng)” as it refers to people or lifestyles entered China and immediately took hold in youth culture, becoming a popular fashion and life attitude among young people, and amassing hashtags and search hits on social media platforms.

斜杠青年(xiégàng qīngnián) Slashers

斜杠(xiégàng) slash

Examples:

wǒ yǒu hěnduō péngyǒu dōu shì xiégāng qīngnián

我有很多朋友都是斜杠青年。

Many of my friends are slashers.

nǐ xiǎng chéngwéi xiégāng qīngnián ma?

你想成为斜杠青年吗?

Do you want to be a slasher?

Why is the concept of a “slasher” so popular in China?

Looking back, it’s easy to see that since mankind entered the post-industrial era, the service industry gradually risen in prominence, with mass production giving way to more personalized touches, and individuals creating their own value – a large part of people’s focus is shifting back to quality from quantity. Human creativity is once again being valued, and is increasingly dependent on individual autonomy and self-motivation.

This generation of young people is no longer limited to the stability emphasized by the previous generations. They are more open-minded, more eager for innovation and freedom, and more open to pursuing the realization of self-worth. Autonomy, diversification, fun, independence…these allow the “slasher” to adapt to his or her environment in this era of continuous reform and innovation.

Social and professional competition are becoming increasingly fierce, and being multitalented is a huge plus, as it makes it easier for an individual to avoid being replaced by AI or automation. Additionally, the implementation of such improvements also means that the knowledge and skill requirements of the younger generation are getting higher and higher, and another skill means another way to make money.

Therefore, the emergence of slashers is not coincidental, but rather the product of developments at the macro and micro levels.

As companies have laid off dozens if not hundreds of employees due to this year’s epidemic, many people are now unemployed. More and more of them realized the benefit of being able to pivot – they thought that their career or life was going in one direction, but now they have to change. Teachers have become network anchors, and company men are now modeling. The street stall economy has picked up, and some companies have even begun implementing a “shared employees” model.

Here are some famous “slashers”,you may think that they are a bit old, but when they were young they actually had multiple identities.

Su Shi

Poet / essayist / calligrapher / painter / philosopher / gourmet…

His poems, verses, and prose are all highly recognize, and his skill with a calligraphy and paintbrush are nothing to shake a stick at. He is a rare “all-rounder” in Chinese literature and art, recognize among the elite in the field in all of China’s thousands of years of history. In addition, he is also a politician who speaks truth to power, a gourmet, and a health expert.

This man is truly 优秀(yōuxiù) – “Excellent”!

A:  wǒ bǐsài déliǎo dì yī míng

A: 我比赛得了第一名。

A: I won first place in the competition.

B:yōuxiù

B:优秀!

B:Excellent!

tā shì yī míng yōuxiù de zhōngwén lǎoshī.

她是一名优秀的中文老师。

She is an excellent Chinese teacher.

Many familiar celebrities are also slashers.

Jack Ma

Entrepreneur / iInvestor / philanthropist

The founder of Alibaba, a well-known entrepreneur, and a successful investor and philanthropist, Jack Ma’s passion for his work and determination to succeed have made him extremely well known the world over.

Jackie Chan

Actor / director  / producer / screenwriter / singer / stuntman

Jackie Chan’s name is a familiar one – a well-known figure in the acting world, he was one of the first Chinese film stars to really make a splash in Hollywood. In recent years, however, Jackie Chan’s name has appeared across industries not only related to the big screen.

So… do you want to be a 斜杠青年?

jianzhi https://www.echineselearning.com/blog/?p=8005342 People have a special day set aside for nearly everything it seems. For example, October 25th is World Pasta Day. Well, China also has unique special days, like Standards Day that was celebrated a few days ago on October 14. China’s Standards Day marks the anniversary of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

The aim of World 标准 (biāo zhǔn, standards) day is to improve the recognition of the importance of international standards on world economic activities. It supports the requirements and demands of products for commerce, industry, government, and customers.

In this case, the World standards day could be seen as a gift sent to tens of thousands of staff engaged in standardized work. It is essential to their wellbeing, productivity, and longevity.

标准(biāo zhǔn) : n. standard


标准的(biāo zhǔn de): adj. standard

Examples:

zhè xiàng chǎn pǐn de zhì liàng yǐ dá dào biāo zhǔn .
这项产品的质量已达到标准。
The quality of this product has reached the standard.

tā shuō bù liǎo biāo zhǔn dì pǔ tōng huà .
他说不了标准的普通话。
He does not speak standard Mandarin.

Origin

On October 14th, 1946, representatives from 25 counties gathered in London and decided to establish a new organization with the objective of promoting international coordination on industrial standards.

On October 14th, 1946, the first worldwide celebration on world standards day was held.
China has re-entered the ISO as of 1978 and decided to have the celebration on October 14th every year by reporting stories related to the topic as advocated by ISO in that year.

Various international organizations

International Organization for Standardization – ISO

For example: ISO 9001, quality management system
ISO 14001, environmental management

International Electrotechnical Commission – IEC
For example: lithium battery standards for IEC619602000.11

International Telecommunication Union – ITU
For example: ITU BS.1770 loudness standard

All of IEC, ISO, and ITU are standardizations set to provide solid foundations on green buildings for designers, “建筑师 (jiàn zhù shī) architects”, engineers as well as all buildings owners and government. Through the standardization of IEC, ISO, and ITU, the intelligence and greenness of buildings are linked, which boosts new types of buildings to reach these two requirements.

建筑师( jiàn zhù shī): n. architect

Examples:

tā yě shì yī míng cóng yè jiàn zhù shī.
她也是一名从业建筑师。
She was also a practising architect.

zhè dòngdà lóu shì àn nà wèi jiàn zhù shī de shè jì jiàn zào de .
这栋大楼是按那位建筑师的设计建造的。
The building was constructed from the design of that architect.

Topics by year:

48 anniversary in 2017: Standards make cities smarter.
49 anniversary in 2018: International standards and the fourth industrial revolution.

50 anniversary in 2019: Video standards create a global stage.
And the topic for this year (51 anniversary) is “Protecting the “地球(dì qiú) planet” with standards”.

地球(dì qiú) : n. planet / earth.

Examples:

lán jīng shì dì qiú shàng tǐ xíng zuì dà de shēng wù.
蓝鲸是地球上体型最大的生物。
The blue whale is the largest living thing on the planet.

xǔ duō dòng wù yǐ cóng dì qiú shàng xiāo shī le .
许多动物已从地球上消失了。
Many kinds of animals have vanished from the earth.

There are standards for nearly everything. And with that industry leaders can be held more accountable, workers can have a better quality of life, and the environment will hopefully be maintained with more sustainable practices. Everyone can benefit from industry standards.

With the environment in constant decline, this year’s topic is increasingly important.

What standard do you think needs to be implemented and what standard do you think is the most beneficial for mankind and the planet alike?

jianzhi https://www.echineselearning.com/blog/?p=8005316 As the old saying goes: The master teaches the trade, but the apprentice’s skills are self-made (师(shī)傅(fù)领(lǐnɡ)进(jìn)门(mén),修(xiū)行(xínɡ)靠(kào)个(ɡè)人(rén)). In language learning, the mentor’s and the learner’s effort are the two most important things, but that doesn’t mean they can’t make the most of the tools at their disposal. As a Chinese teacher all these years, I have always kept an eye out any Chinese learning APPs that might help my students.

Recently I find one such APP that I think is great for self-learning: Du Chinese, an APP for improving Chinese reading and learning in general, and I’d like to walk you through my review.

What are the advantages of Du Chinese?

What immediately jumped out to me is the APP’s simplicity. The functions are not too complex, making it extremely user-friendly. With only 4 main tabs, users can easily find the content they’re looking for, and after exploring for only a few minutes I was quickly able to grasp almost all of the functions. Learners who are on the go and are looking to make the most out of their limited time will find the user interface to be very user friendly.

Du Chinese’s logical progressions and rich content are also its strong suits.

New users are prompted to choose their Chinese level, following which they will be directed to content that matches their ability. This means that the burden of selecting which content is appropriate for learning is not on the users – they don’t have to sift through mountains of inapplicable material to find something that they can actually learn from! Whether lessons or stories, there is a clear designation of expected proficiency and even the relevant HSK level. Users can adjust their level any time, and in doing so filter the content they are directed to accordingly.

The second advantage of Du Chinese is the rich content available, rich in terms of both quantity and quality. This is especially noteworthy given the fact that the APP is free! Having explored other available options, I can tell you that it’s difficult to find a balance between appropriate pricing and legitimate quality; however, when I tried Du Chinese’s free lessons, the functions and different ways to learn were truly incredible. There are so many things that users can do, such as adjusting the speed, viewing the English translation, and hiding the pinyin to push learners to improve their fluency and natural language recall. The articles and stories maybe simple, but this means that every learner can use them to fit their habits or needs.

How do I suggest Du Chinese improves in the future?

Even though I think Du Chinese is really great for self-learners, and the content is very useful as-is, I hope that more detailed explanations and insight into the teaching points will be added in the future. I believe that if the Du Chinese team can make these tweaks, it will become even more popular.

My favorite features of Du Chinese

Saving words and setting study goals are my favorite Du Chinese features, and are worth highlighting.

When the users study articles, they can save and consolidate words that they want to review, and can access those words in the second tab at the bottom of the APP. As a Chinese Mandarin teacher, I know the importance of consistently reviewing unfamiliar words while they are still being processed in the brain, and I always push my students to study those words again and again. To me, the ease with which students can learn, review, and even re-learn words makes “saving words” my favorite feature.

As for each student being able to set their own study goals, this is done in the settings tab. Once again reflecting the strong logic with which this system was designed, learners can choose their study goals so that the content pushed by the system matches what they want to do. I’ve always believed that students can only achieve their goals if they actually set goals, and this is especially true for students who may find more motivation from outside sources to learn Mandarin rather than internally. As such, setting study goals is the perfect place to start.

Overall recommendation and final thoughts

If you are looking to improve your Chinese reading and listening by yourself, or are already doing so, this APP is a good choice for you. The articles and stories are short and interesting, so even if you don’t have a lot of time on your hands, you can still study one or two lessons per day, confident that you are learning appropriately for your current Chinese level. You can enhance your reading and listening skills, learn new words, and expand your grammar proficiency in the process.

jianzhi https://www.echineselearning.com/blog/?p=8005287 斜杠青年(xiégāng qīngnián),” or, “Slashers”, are people who make multiple income streams simultaneously from different careers.

斜杠(xiégàng)” literally means “slash” in English, and refers to the “/” (particularly the key on the computer keyboard). The term was coined by Marci Alboher, a New York Times columnist, in her book One Person/Multiple Careers, in which she used “slashers” to refer to people with multiple occupations and identities.

The concept of “斜杠(xiégàng)” as it refers to people or lifestyles entered China and immediately took hold in youth culture, becoming a popular fashion and life attitude among young people, and amassing hashtags and search hits on social media platforms.

斜杠青年(xiégàng qīngnián): Slashers

斜杠(xiégàng): slash

Examples:

wǒ yǒu hěnduō péngyǒu dōu shì xiégāng qīngnián

我有很多朋友都是斜杠青年。

Many of my friends are slashers.

nǐ xiǎng chéngwéi xiégāng qīngnián ma?

你想成为斜杠青年吗?

Do you want to be a slasher?

Why is the concept of a “slasher” so popular in China?

Looking back, it’s easy to see that since mankind entered the post-industrial era, the service industry gradually risen in prominence, with mass production giving way to more personalized touches, and individuals creating their own value – a large part of people’s focus is shifting back to quality from quantity. Human creativity is once again being valued, and is increasingly dependent on individual autonomy and self-motivation.

This generation of young people is no longer limited to the stability emphasized by the previous generations. They are more open-minded, more eager for innovation and freedom, and more open to pursuing the realization of self-worth. Autonomy, diversification, fun, independence…these allow the “slasher” to adapt to his or her environment in this era of continuous reform and innovation.

Social and professional competition are becoming increasingly fierce, and being multitalented is a huge plus, as it makes it easier for an individual to avoid being replaced by AI or automation. Additionally, the implementation of such improvements also means that the knowledge and skill requirements of the younger generation are getting higher and higher, and another skill means another way to make money.

Therefore, the emergence of slashers is not coincidental, but rather the product of developments at the macro and micro levels.

As companies have laid off dozens if not hundreds of employees due to this year’s epidemic, many people are now unemployed. More and more of them realized the benefit of being able to pivot – they thought that their career or life was going in one direction, but now they have to change. Teachers have become network anchors, and company men are now modeling. The street stall economy has picked up, and some companies have even begun implementing a “shared employees” model.

Here are some famous “slashers”,you may think that they are a bit old, but when they were young they actually had multiple identities.

Su Shi

Poet / essayist / calligrapher / painter / philosopher / gourmet…

His poems, verses, and prose are all highly recognize, and his skill with a calligraphy and paintbrush are nothing to shake a stick at. He is a rare “all-rounder” in Chinese literature and art, recognize among the elite in the field in all of China’s thousands of years of history. In addition, he is also a politician who speaks truth to power, a gourmet, and a health expert.

This man is truly 优秀(yōuxiù) – “Excellent”!

A:  wǒ bǐsài dé liǎo dì yī míng

A: 我比赛得了第一名。

A: I won first place in the competition.

B:yōuxiù

B:优秀!

B:Excellent!

tā shì yī míng yōuxiù de zhōngwén lǎoshī.

她是一名优秀的中文老师。

She is an excellent Chinese teacher.

Many familiar celebrities are also slashers.

Jack Ma

Entrepreneur / Investor / philanthropist

The founder of Alibaba, a well-known entrepreneur, and a successful investor and philanthropist, Jack Ma’s passion for his work and determination to succeed have made him extremely well known the world over.

Jackie Chan

Actor / director  / producer / screenwriter / singer / stuntman

Jackie Chan’s name is a familiar one – a well-known figure in the acting world, he was one of the first Chinese film stars to really make a splash in Hollywood. In recent years, however, Jackie Chan’s name has appeared across industries not only related to the big screen.

jianzhi https://www.echineselearning.com/blog/?p=8005253 Did you know that the Chinese language is changing at an unbelievable pace? Don’t worry, you will still be able to speak using everyday conversation words and phrases. The rapid change that you need to keep up with, however, is on the internet and with the ever-evolving world of slang. Slang is not only fun, but it helps you sound more native and trendy too. It’s hard to keep up on your own so let’s look at 5 words and phrases that you will most likely encounter while talking to younger generations and while browsing social media.

1.996 (jiǔ jiǔ liù)


“996” is the work schedule timetable that exceeds legal working hours and is in violation of the labor law of the people’s Republic of China. It refers to the working schedule of going to work at 9 a.m., getting off work at 9:00 p.m., resting for 1 hour (or less) at noon and in the evening (totaling a working day of more than 10 hours), while working six days a week. This represents the prevailing overtime culture in China’s internet enterprises.

In 2019, a project called “996icu” was launched by GitHub. Programmers exposed the popular internet company and boycotted the online company’s 996 working system.

Example:

wǒ fǎn gǎn zhè jiā gōng sī de jiǔ jiǔ liù gōng zuò zhì.
我反感这家公司的996工作制。
I dislike the working schedule of 996 in this company.

2.有内味儿了 ( yǒu nèi wèi er le)

This is a popular phrase on the internet. In the northern accent, it is customary to read “那 (nà)” as “内 (nèi)”, which means to have that feeling. It is generally used to indicate whether the things mentioned above are authentic or to appreciate the authenticity of things imitated.

Example:

A: Jack! wèi shén me nǐ yòu huàn le fà xíng ?
A: Jack! 为什么你又换了发型?
A: Jack! Why did you change your hairstyle again?

B: yīn wèi wǒ zuì jìn kāi shǐ mí méi xī le
B: 因为我最近开始迷梅西了。
B: As I have been a fan of Messi lately.

A: Em… què shí yǒu nèi wèi er le.
A: Em… 确实,有内味儿了.
A: Em… Really,有内味儿了.

3.豪横 (háo hèng)

“豪横” is a dialect in Beijing, which means bullying, bold and unconstrained, and powerful. In addition, the person being described has a strong character and backbone.

Example:

tā háo hèng le yī shēng , jué bú huì xiàng dí rén dī tóu .
他豪横了一生,绝不会向敌人低头。
He has been 豪横 all his life and will never bow to the enemy.

4.我太南了 (wǒ tài nán le)

“It’s so hard for me” came from a video on Tiktok where sad music accompanies a tight shot of an old man’s eyebrows and empty eyes. Then he says, “it is so hard for me!”.

Because “difficult” and “south” are homonymous, some people say “我太南了,” which is also the emotional expression of ordinary netizens hoping to release the pressure of life when uttering this phrase.

我太南了: It’s so hard for me!

Example:
zěn me yòu yào jiā bān ? wǒ tài nán le.
怎么又要加班?我太南了.
Why do I have to work overtime? It’s so hard for me!

5.我不要你觉得,我要我觉得 (wǒ bú yào nǐ jué de , wǒ yào wǒ jué de)

“我不要你觉得,我要我觉得”, I don’t want to know what you think, but what I think.
This phrase comes from one of China’s variety shows and reflects people’s disgust of overbearing personalities.

In this variety show, the store manager makes himself the center of importance and often ignores other people’s opinions on matters regarding the day-to-day operations of the restaurant. He displays his blind self-confidence and impulsive behavior incisively and vividly.

wǒ bú yào nǐ jué de, wǒ yào wǒ jué de.
我不要你觉得,我要我觉得.
I don’t want to know what you think, but what I think.

zhè gè shì qíng bù xū yào tǎo lùn.
这个事情不需要讨论.
There is no need to discuss this matter.

Listen to me. I have the final say (what I say goes).
听我的,我说了算.

Have you seen any of these phrases while on various social media platforms? Maybe you’ve heard them on TV. Now you know what they mean! You’ll be sure to see them pop up more often now that you have learned about them. Chinese netizens are clever and quick to come up with new words and phrases by combining other words or by adopting phrases seen on shows and assigning them whole new meanings. Just remember that slang words come in and out of popularity so check back often to stay on top of China’s lightning-fast slang evolution. What slang have you heard lately that you are unsure of? Leave a comment and let us know.

jianzhi https://www.echineselearning.com/blog/?p=8005225 Chinese medicine is nearly as old as Chinese civilization itself. Yet it continues to be used, even in 2020. It is sometimes combined with modern medicine and is said to speed recovery time from illness and injury as well as enhance overall wellbeing. Since well being is becoming more important in western countries, Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, is gaining popularity.

The most popular forms of Chinese medicine are relative depending on who you ask. What is currently popular revolves around trends and what media portrays Chinese “医学 (yī xué) medicine” to be. Since the wellness movement has really exploded, people from all over the world have begun to explore TCM. It has deep roots that have developed over thousands of years and includes mind and body treatments, such as acupuncture, cupping, taichi, as well as herbal remedies to prevent and cure diseases.

医学(yī xué): n. Medicine

Examples:

tā cóng shì yī xué .

他从事医学。

He pursued a career in medicine.

tā rè’ài yīxué

他热爱医学

He loves medicine.

Let’s explore TCM treatments a little more in-depth.

Traditional Chinese medicine is oftentimes used to address the following ailments:

Allergies

Anxiety

Arthritis

Depression

Diabetes

Fertility

High blood pressure

Insomnia

Obesity

Although conventional treatments in modern medicine are based on a diagnosis and is used to treat individual symptoms, in TCM, the treatment is determined by what the underlying imbalance might be. For example, a person with insomnia may have difficulty sleeping because of an imbalance such as a kidney yin “不足 (bù zú) deficiency”, spleen qi deficiency, or blood deficiency. The TCM is used for the cause and not the symptoms of the cause as modern medicine tends to do in some cases.

不足(bù zú): n. deficiency/shortcoming

Examples:

wǒ hái yǒu hěnduō bùzú zhī chù.

我还有很多不足之处。

I still have many shortcomings.

tā yán chóng shuìmián bùzú,

他严重睡眠不足。

He is severely sleep deprived.

The first question is the deficiency of practical vocational skills and academic knowledge.

The Traditional Chinese Approach

Rooted in a philosophy known as Taoism, traditional Chinese medicine is based on the theory that all of the body’s organs mutually support one another. Therefore, in order to be healthy, an individual’s organ functions must be in balance. This balance is attained, in part, by harmonizing yin and yang, two opposing but complementary energies that are thought to affect all life.

Another approach in traditional Chinese medicine is to harness vital energy called “qi” or “chi”. This energy force flows throughout the body by certain pathways, also known as meridians. According to this theory, disease, as well as emotional, mental, and physical health problems, develop when the flow of qi is blocked, weak, or excessive. Restoring the flow of qi is considered essential to balancing the yin and yang and, in turn, achieving wellness.

Typical Procedure

During a standard appointment with a TCM practitioner, they first assess your overall health by doing “舌头( shétou ) tongue” assessment. In TCM, it’s thought that different areas of the tongue reflect the health of five corresponding organ systems: liver, lung, spleen, heart, and kidney. Next is a simple pulse assessment, and a general physical exam. The exam would identify any Imbalances or qi blockages.

舌头( shétou ):n. tongue

tā shēn chūle shétou.

他伸出了舌头。

He sticks out his tongue.

shétou kěyǐ fǎnyìng yīxiē shēntǐ wèntí.

舌头可以反映一些身体问题。

The tongue can reflect some physical problems.

If the practitioner identifies an imbalance in one of TCM’s organ systems, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the person has a physical disease in that organ.

The liver, for instance, helps to regulate the smooth flow of qi. If a person has “liver qi stagnation”, the energy is said to be blocked, resulting in irritability, anger, or depression, a bitter taste in the mouth, indigestion, and a pulse that practitioners describe as “spastic”.

A “kidney yin deficiency”, on the other hand, is associated with a dry mouth, hot flushes in the afternoon or evening, tinnitus, and forgetfulness. The tongue is usually reddish in color with little or no tongue coating. Practitioners describe the pulse as “wavering”.

Treatment Methods

There are many different therapeutic methods used in traditional Chinese medicine, the most popular being acupuncture. Since traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes individualized treatment, healing methods vary widely from patient to patient. These methods often include:

⁨ 1. 针灸 (Zhēnjiǔ) Acupuncture: Though acupuncture’s roots lie in TCM, it is used as a western treatment for a variety of health concerns.

⁨ 2. Acupressure: Finger pressure is applied over acupuncture points and meridians.

⁨ 3. 拔罐 (báguànr) Cupping Therapy: is a practice that involves briefly applying rounded inverted cups to certain parts of the body using a vacuum effect. Some proponents suggest that the drawing of the skin inside the cups increases blood flow to the area.

⁨ 4. Diet and nutrition: Foods are thought to have warming/cooling properties and are said to have specific healing properties.

⁨ 5. Herbal medicine: Herbs and herbal tea may be suggested.

⁨ 6. Moxibustion: A practice that involves burning an herb near the skin to warm the area over acupuncture points.

⁨ 7. Exercises: such as “太极 (Tàijí) tai chi” and qi gong.

中草药 (Zhōngcǎoyào) Chinese herbal medicine

Rather than prescribing individual herbs, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine typically combine a variety of herbs in formulas selected depending on the patient’s individual needs. These formulas may be given as teas, capsules, tinctures, or powders.

Currently, there are about 12,000 kinds of medicinal plants in China. Here are just a few ”草药 ( cǎo yào ) herbs”  commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine:

中草药(Zhōngcǎoyào): Chinese herbal medicine

草药 (cǎo yào): n. herb medicine

Examples:

zhōngcǎoyào hěn kǔ。

中草药很苦。

Chinese herbal medicine is bitter。

tā bù rèn shi zhè zhǒng cǎo yào .

他不认识这种草药。

He doesn’t recognize this kind of medical herb.

1. Astragalus: The Chinese name of the herb, Huang qi, is considered to be one of the most important herbs in traditional Chinese medicine. One of the main uses of astragalus is to improve immune function. It is said to work is by increasing the production of immune cells. It may also have mild antiviral activity and help with the prevention of colds.

2. 人参( rénshēn) Panax Ginseng: Going back to ancient times, Panax ginseng was used to increase energy and stamina and to give the immune system a boost. It has been shown to improve cognitive performance, mainly short-term memory too.

3. Ginkgo biloba: is an antioxidant-rich herb used to enhance brain health and treat a variety of conditions. Although dietary supplements typically contain extracts of the plant’s leaves, Ginkgo Biloba seeds are commonly used for healing purposes in traditional Chinese medicine. to preserve memory, as well as promote recovery from stroke.

4. Ginger: herbalists have used the root of the ginger plant to relieve stomach problems. With its natural anti-inflammatory effects, ginger is also commonly used to treat arthritis, high cholesterol, menstrual cramps, and other health conditions.

5. Gotu kola: is believed to have antimicrobial, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, and memory-enhancing properties while others assert that it can also aid in asthma, depression, diabetes, diarrhea, fatigue, indigestion, and stomach ulcers. When used topically, Gotu kola is believed to help speed the healing of wounds and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars.

Always check with a professional before trying any herbs that you are not familiar with. Everyone reacts differently. If you’re considering trying traditional Chinese medicine, seek a qualified practitioner. Even in 2020, TCM can be useful and effective for modern problems.
