Scarface- The jiagolon was pretty good but a bit expensive since I purchased the chinese medicine on my own. I decided replacing it with panax ginseng since they both are great for circulation. Far as adrenal goes, adrenal are in the loop of the kidney so really start focusing on on the main body organs-KIDNEY, LIVER, HEART, & STOMACH and allow your body to recover. Solidfood- Cordyseps is great! I love it because its also attacks the liver in a fantastic way and if you research the name, its great for oxygen as well as spleen qi. and regardless of the matter, cordyceps can be a lifetim ...

Reishi has been shown to be a powerful herbal help to clear allergies and allergic reactions as well as candida overgrowth. Many doctors report Reishi as the herb of choice for candida sufferers. Candidiasis is a fungal overgrowth of candida albicans which throws off hundreds of its own foul waste products into your body, creating all kinds of symptoms, such as chronic fatigue, poor digestion, bloating, vaginal or rectal itching, headaches, back pain, etc. HOWEVER, CANDIDA ITSELF IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

Leaky Gut Syndrome is often the real basis for chronic fatigue syndrome and pediatric immune deficiencies. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the spleen is responsible for repairing the intestinal lining of the small intestine, and prolonged Leaky Gut easily depletes spleen Qi. If spleen deficiency and liver stagnation coexist there will often be food stagnation. In conclusion find ways to heal the spleen/liver and blood/lympathic qi   [End]

For example, the kidneys are represented under the area of the eyes. A person may have kidney imbalance if there are bags or discolored skin under the eyes.
