Ancient Chinese Healing with Marijuana Seeds

Months before Jade Goody’s death from cancer, the tabloids pictured her tucking into a bag of marijuana seeds. Jade had heard that they had been used in ancient Chinese medicine as a cure for cancer and feeling that she had nothing to lose, decided to try munching hemp seeds in between her chemotherapy sessions. It’s not just cancer that marijuana seeds have been known to cure. All the ailments below can be cured with hemp seeds and whilst most parts of the hemp flower have been used in medicine it is the seeds that contain the most effective components for long term health.

Childbirth Aid

Munching on marijuana seeds is said to alleviate the pain of a difficult delivery and help out during postpartum recovery. A packet of hemp seeds can also bring on an overdue birth or help with blood deficiencies during pre or post-pregnancy. The ancient Chinese have also been known to use hemp seeds to alleviate retained placentas in mothers that are just beginning to breast-feed and to help increase the milk flow.

Anthelmintic

Anthelmintic is a term given to drugs that help destroy and dispel parasites, including worms, in the body. It is thought that marijuana seeds have these properties and they are therefore prescribed to patients suffering from worms and parasites.

Anti-inflammatory

Next time you come up in a painful rash don’t reach for the anti-histamines or anti-inflammatory medications. Hemp seeds are said to be an effective anti-inflammatory and work in soothing or reducing inflammation.

Antiseptic

If you’ve cut your hand or have a nasty looking blister on your feet then marijuana seeds are said to be an effective antiseptic; so get munching! The seeds can stop sepsis occurring and are said to prevent bacterial growth.

Anti-atherosclerotic

Hemp seeds can break up long standing problems with the blood flow and restore the blood, pulse rates, veins and arteries.

Menstrual Problems

Marijuana seeds are believed to be able to treat many different types of menstrual problems. However, they are most commonly used in ancient Chinese medicine as a corrective cure to help regulate periods.

The Aftermath of a Stroke

Zhong Feng is a neurological impairment that occurs as the result of a stroke. One of the symptoms is excess sweating and hemp seeds are commonly prescribed to help deal with this side-effect.

Ulcers and Sores

Most homeopathic medicines that are used to treat ulcers and sores contain marijuana seeds somewhere in the ingredients.

Demulcent

Hemp seeds have demulcent properties and can be used to soothe, protect and nurture your intestinal membranes. This means that marijuana seeds are often recommended to patients suffering from Crohns disease or Ulcerative colitis.

Constipation

Hemp seeds relax, loosen and stimulate evacuation of the bowels; therefore the seeds are commonly used to treat constipation. Even in today’s modern China, hemp seed oil capsules are still the most commonly prescribed remedy for constipation.

High-Blood Pressure

Marijuana seeds are recommended for patients suffering from high-blood pressure as munching on hemp seeds is said to be able to reduce blood pressure.

Popular Ancient Chinese made from rice and bean flour. What is it?

It is believed that, along with all the spices, gems, silks, and the like, brought back to Europe by early traders (most notably, Marco Polo) was a food that has become one of the most popular dishes in the world. What was this product, which the ancient Chinese made from rice and bean flour?

Can’t seem to find this answer. Can someone try to find it. I will put best answer.

The answer is most certain to be noodles made from rice or bean flour.
There is some dispute over who originally came up with the idea of mixing water and flour to create noodles.
The Arabs claim to have been the first to use dried pasta, as a means of preserving flour during their forays across the desert.
Regardless of their origin, we do know that the Chinese have been feasting on noodles for approximately 2000 years, since the Han dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD). In fact, some experts believe that the Italians got their first taste of pasta when Marco Polo returned home from his long trek across China with a host of exotic food items, including noodles.
What do make of that?
