ARTEMISIA ANNUA Common names: Qinghao, Sweet wormwood. General Information about Artemisia Artemesia annua, (sweet Annie or sweet wormwood) is a bitter herb that is both a prophylactic and for treatment of malaria.

The plant Artemisia annua has been used for many years by the Chinese to treat malaria. This plant is as successful in treating malaria as the conventional drugs, and without having any of the unpleasant side-effects. Prevention. In order to achieve adequate antimalarial plasma concentrations it is advisable to administer two oral doses of 500 mg per day.

You'll love this one: "Kailan in Oyster Sauce"\nVery Chinese - Very Easy!\n\nJust buy some fresh Kailan and chop the leafs from the stems.  Very quickly dunk them in boiling water until the leaves turns a darker green and the stems are tender.  Remove, drain and serve with a good oyster Sauce (try Lee Kum Kee Gold Label) and a sprinkle of sesame oil.

Be cautious just in case I would say...\n\nI once was in Northern China with my husband and a whole group of Chinese-Singaporeans. We were told by our Chinese guide that we should not eat nor drink in restaurants (all kind of hepatitis A,B etc and all). The local population was not bothered though.\n\nBut us, Caucasians and Singoporean-Chinese alike were warned not to eat anything nor drink any water in restaurants. Just in case......and that was from a local Chinese guide.\n\nWe all had all our numerous shots before-hand though..but did not take the risk.\n\nSo, basically :  I don't know but better consult other expats over there..

I'm a student nurse studying mental health nursing, on our course we do child and adolescent placements which mostly consists of ADHD and family difficulties, which are often interlinked, but the most effective herbal remedy I heard people using was fish oils, Omega 3 with a high concentration of EPA and DHA being the most efficient. This works by improving the circulation of blood to the brain, improving concentration but as yet I have not heard of a herbal remedy that works for all aspects of ADHA. I did work with a few people who had taken FOCUS but did not benefit greatly from it. Although everybody is different and different remedies will work differently for each person. The main thing to look out for with herbal remedies is if they interact with any other current medication. Hope this helps.

The World Health Organization has approved indoor use of the pesticide DDT. DDT, a chemical that repels and kills insects, will lower the death rate in malaria-affected regions, such as Africa, Asia, and other countries as well. The organization believes that appropriate use of DDT can temporarily control malaria DDT, to this date, remains the only pesticide for this task. However, the opposing side of DDT, the Pesticide Action Network North America, argues that it may cause health problems in children. The side effects include premature birth and development delay. Early forms of DDT also had effects on the environment, including the thinning of bird eggshells and population decline in certain species. The spokesperson of PANNA also insists that malaria can be treated with other less harmful chemicals. One of the less harmful chemicals, pyretheroids, was banned.\n\n\nim not sure about that end part. thats not the end is it??

Good old vitamin c, and lots of it. Don't be afraid to take 3 or 4 grams divided over the day. Echinacea, a herb, is excellent for boasting the immune system. Once a cold has started to develop, vitamin c and echinacea are as powerful a combination as you can get. Take the echinacia P variety.

Warm baths, chamomile tea, a B-Complex vitamin daily, lavender scented things (soap, shampoo, dishwashing liquid, candles, incense).  Also prayer and/or meditation is helpful to some, as is exercise.  Eat properly, and get enough rest.

Hi, Kelly!  I am a Reiki practitioner and an Herbalist, and a mom of 2 boys who have ADHD, one of whom was agressive - much, much less now. \n  I agree with the Oatstraw (Aveena Sativa) and the dietary recommendations.  Since there is very little way to stop all preservatives (school lunch, parties, etc) I also give my boys Flax Seed Oil as it has been proven effective as a blood cleanser.  It also has the Omega 3 fatty acids that people with neurological problems are deficient in.  Cinnamon is wonderful also...it helps keep their blood sugar stable, and helps metabolize any extra sugar.  Other than that, I just make sure their multivitamin is high in B, C and Zinc as those are deficiencies in People with ADHD as well.  \n\nI am at windstarhealing.com if you have any questions.  Good luck!

This would be difficult as the Chinese are not very open to foreigners.  I knew a Congolese doctor work at Zhongshan Hospital in Guangzhou, who was the most intelligent guy I ever met, but he could not renew his contact because the Chinese he was looking after did not want to consult a black doctor.\nCount on at least tens years study of Chinese characters so that you are able to write a basic prescription.\nTry asking on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/teflchinalife-UNMODERATED/ for some other expert expat opinions.

The best way to help prevent influenza infection is to get an influenza vaccination each year, usually in early November. Unfortunately, immunization (administration of vaccine) against influenza is approved only for infants 6 months of age and over.\n\nUntil your infant is old enough to take vaccinations, you should look into home remedies and try to look for baby food with some of these ingrediants.  I looked up some for you:\n\n~ GINGER = best\n~ GRAPEFRUIT\n~ BASIL LEAVES\n~ GARLIC = dont know if thats good for infant but works.\n~ for more, visit link below\n\nhope i was helpful :)
