The New Year of the Fire Rooster should bring fresh challenges requiring quick wit and practical solutions!
According to the Chinese Five Element Astrology Calendar, each zodiac year is connected to one of five elements: Gold (Metal), Wood, Water, Fire, or Earth. 2017 is the Year of Female Fire Chicken. The color of Fire in Five Elements system is related to Red. Therefore we can say 2017 is a Red Chicken, Fire Chicken or Red Fire Chicken year.
For people born under this sign, the Fire Rooster is trustworthy, with a strong sense of timekeeping and responsibility at work. A fiery sign that will light up every room, the Fire Rooster is as dynamic on the inside as he is on the outside. These natural leaders have the gift of very sharp organisational skills as well as a charisma that’s hard to miss – they will find it easy to rise above, work independently, efficiently and find success.
Public and private administration jobs, military careers or police jobs are highly favored. A Year of the Rooster is often marked by brilliant success for those who have endured with patience the draining and often solitary build-up of a business project.
Rooster is the only bird included in the Chinese zodiac. The New Year (also known as the “Spring Festival”) is the longest holiday in China and is of great importance. Chinese New Year’s celebrations last two weeks, and are accompanied by many traditions, like cleaning the home leading up to the holiday and dragon dances. Firecrackers are often set off at midnight and people hand red envelopes to one another (called yasui qian) as a sign of happiness and good luck.
They can also be used to treat many chronic pain conditions. One aspect of women’s health where herbs can be extremely beneficial is both for infertility and annoying symptoms related to menopause like dryness or hot flashes.
Herbal therapy, after dietary therapy, is perhaps the most widely used Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment modality. TCM relies on herbal therapies both for the treatment of illness and in the optimization of health and prevention of disease.
Although there are literally thousands of traditional herbal formulas for just about every condition imaginable, a formula is almost always modified by the practitioner to suit the subtle nuances of the condition and constitution of the patient, making each formulation highly individualized.

It is used in a variety of ways from small cones which are placed directly over the skin to warm particular acupuncture points, or in the form of a Moxa stick which hovers over an area of the body to warm. It’s an effective tool for nourishing or moving energy. This method is very effective and pleasant for treating cold diseases, Qi deficiency, Qi stagnation and Yang deficiency. The length or duration of moxibustion should not be shorter than 10 minutes. Moxa is often used as a technique supporting acupuncture.
This method is an effective way to warm up, to move stagnation and remove toxins. Cups in Chinese medicine are placed on acupuncture points (this can be done simultaneously with acupuncture), along the course of the meridians or one can use the mobile cup. Static or moving, cups are very effective at moving stagnant energy and stimulate blood flow, especially effective for muscular skeletal aches, pains and tension. Plastic suction cups are frequently used within a massage therapy session to alleviate tension knots.

In every province of China, there are large schools of traditional Chinese medicine, research institutes, and teaching hospitals, where thousands of practitioners each year gain training in the use of herbs. The written heritage of Chinese medicine is quite rich. Ancient books are retained, with increasing numbers of commentaries. New books are written by practitioners who have had several decades of personal experience or by compilers who scan the vast diverse modern literature and arrange the results of clinical trials into neat categories.
Chinese Herbal Medicine, along with the other components of Chinese medicine, is based on the concepts of Yin and Yang. It aims to understand and treat the many ways in which the fundamental balance and harmony between the two may be undermined and the ways in which a person’s Qi or vitality may be depleted or blocked.
Many of these conditions, especially in their chronic forms, create great difficulty for conventional medicine, whilst Chinese Herbal Medicine has a great deal to offer. The results that can be expected and how long a patient will have to take the herbs will depend on the severity of the condition, its duration, and the general health of the patient.

In October 2012 in the Archives of Internal Medicine, an analysis of 29 well conducted studies involving around 18,000 patients found that acupuncture is effective for treating chronic pain.
In traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture is linked to the belief that disease is caused by disruptions to the flow of energy, or qi, in the body. It stimulates points on or under the skin called acupuncture points or acupressure points, releasing this qi. The qi then travels through channels called meridians.
Historically, treatments date back to at least 100 B.C. when an organized system of diagnosis and treatment using needles was first described in writing in China. However, the practice likely precedes this written history.
In an official report, Acupuncture: Review and Analysis of Reports on Controlled Clinical Trials, the World Health Organization (WHO) has listed the following symptoms, diseases and conditions that have been shown through controlled trials to be treated effectively:
