Nohr has studied classical Chinese medicine in China, under the tutelage of Suzanne Robidoux and master herbalist Dr. Feng Shi Lun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"x-gradient-bottle-img-wrap x-post-img-bottle-to-right\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/David-Nohr-body.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Turk\" style=\"max-width: 90%!important;width:250px;heigth:333px;\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The former translated and edited over 20 professional Chinese medical textbooks related to acupuncture and Chinese medicine, while the latter is chief physician at the Ministry of Health Sino-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing and the founder and president of the Hu Xi Shu Classical Medicine Research Institute in Beijing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if someone comes into your clinic with a laundry list of health complaints, and you\u2019re David Nohr, not any brand of herbs will do.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With your desire to heal your patients and the scrutiny of herbal masters looming large in your conscience, how do you select a brand of go-to herbs with so many competitors on the market?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As recently as a few years ago, Nohr was purchasing from several different brands. But last year, ActiveHerb introduced its line of new and improved single herb extract <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/product-list\/single-herb-extracts\/\" class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">granules<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/extract\/\" class=\"retail-link\">granules<\/a>. Nohr\u2019s search for a go-to brand of Chinese herbs was finally over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe granules have been a game-changer for my practice,\u201d says Nohr, who was raised in the African country of Zimbabwe until age 11. \u201cClassical Chinese medicine calls for high dose of certain herbs but the problem with many brands is that in order to get a dose of herbs down to the standard 5:1 extract ratio, fillers and binders are added to them,\u201d explains Nohr.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/extract-line.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staying True To The Roots Of TCM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most practitioners don\u2019t necessarily follow the tenets of classic Chinese medicine, which involves a very precise methodology of diagnosing patterns. These days, a more integrative approach between western and eastern medicine is practiced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Nohr\u2019s training and approach to healing adheres to oriental medicine orthodoxy, which does not evaluate an illness purely based on the symptoms a person is showing. Rather, classic Chinese medicine analyzes complex patterns of disharmony in the body, using as a guide, the 8 Principles of Diagnoses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, classic Chinese medicine practitioners such as Nohr, most often eschew the use modern herbal formulas. Instead, they stick to formulas that have been time-tested and proven for over 2,000 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Quality Matters For The Most Sensitive<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For somebody with a strong digestive system, the binders and filling agents that are added to many brands of herbal granules, to comply with industry concentration standards, may not pose a problem. However, for Nohr\u2019s most sensitive patients, the quality of the herbs can be immediately noticed, and not always in a positive way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"x-short-quote-right\">The granules have been a game-changer for my practice<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have patients who come in for the first time and tell me that a specific herb or formula didn\u2019t work for them, and actually made their problems worse,\u201d says Nohr. Nohr explains that it wasn\u2019t necessarily the herbs that weren\u2019t working. Rather, the problem was that his patients were reacting to the fillers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nohr says he has personally experienced a bad reaction to a formula, after being exposed to mold in his former home. \u201cI would get foggy headed and dizzy, and the formula I was taking at the time was not helping.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>High Concentration Herbal Extract Granules With No Fillers&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nohr regards the herbal extracts used in ActiveHerb products to \u201cHave gotten better and better.\u201d He explains, \u201cIf I prescribe a classic herb for one of my patients and ActiveHerb sells it in the granule extracts, that\u2019s where I\u2019m getting it from,\u201d he says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a perfect world, however, Nohr wouldn\u2019t prescribe any of his patients granule extracts. Instead, he would have his patients use herbs the classical way, with raw herbs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAmericans are notoriously non-compliant with raw herbs,\u201d says Nohr, explaining: \u201cIt takes a lot of time \u2026 you have to double soak the herbs, and your place ends up smelling like dirty socks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nohr acknowledges that ActiveHerb extract granules are far easier to use than raw herbs; within seconds they can be used as an instant hot tea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For Mathematically-Challenged Practitioners<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>But the challenge of using ActiveHerb extract granules, says Nohr, is that with the higher concentrations of certain herbs, if math isn\u2019t your strong suit and you\u2019re a practitioner, it could make prescribing a formula of different herbs problematic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"x-gradient-bottle-img-wrap x-post-img-bottle-to-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Single-Herb-Extracts\/Long-Gu-Dragon-Bone-Extract-Granules\" class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/extract\/longgus.gif\" style=\"height:300px;weight:180px\" alt=\"TotalTonic&#x2122;\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/extract\/longgu.shtml\" class=\"retail-link\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/img\/extract\/longgus.gif\" style=\"height:300px;weight:180px\" alt=\"TotalTonic&#x2122;\"><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Nohr references the herb, <a class=\"ahw-link\" style=\"display:none;\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/Single-Herb-Extracts\/Long-Gu-Dragon-Bone-Extract-Granules\" target=\"_parent\">Long Gu<\/a><a class=\"retail-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/extract\/longgu.shtml\">Long Gu<\/a>, an herb that\u2019s used in clinical applications for anxiousness and withdrawal symptoms. Long Gu extract granules have a concentration factor of 30X, meaning one gram of the granules is the equivalent of 30 grams of the raw dried herb.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to do the math when every single herb has a concentration of 5:1. But a small challenge to using granules of different concentrations is that some math is required. This is where ActiveHerb&#8217;s&nbsp;easy to use conversion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherbwholesale.com\/calculator\" target=\"_parent\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">calculator<\/a> comes in handy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cActiveHerb\u2019s new line of granules is the closest you can get to using raw herbs,\u201d says Nohr, adding, \u201cWith ActiveHerb you\u2019re getting less fillers, and when fillers are used, they are natural. As a result, you\u2019re getting more of the natural compounds in the raw herb, which greatly reduces the chances of side effects.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Cautionary Tale Against Self-Prescribing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nohr is devoted to using classic herbology and principles in his practice. As such, he advises people who use Chinese medicine against self-diagnosing and taking one-size-fits-all formulas. He also doesn\u2019t recommend taking formulas long after a symptom has disappeared.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can have 10 people come into my practice with insomnia, and all 10 people may get different formulas,\u201d says Nohr. \u201cOne person might stay on a specific formula for a long time, while another person might only need it for a month,\u201d adds Nohr.&nbsp;<br><br>Nohr explains that taking a specific herb or formula can create a state of excess or deficiency. Taking a Blood tonic for too long, Nohr cites as an example, can lead to an excess of blood-building, which can create blood stagnation and digestive problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Nohr realizes that not everybody is able to visit an acupuncturist or herbalist on a regular basis. \u201cThere is some merit to experimenting with your body, just like with food. And if you feel great taking a specific formula, then by all means, keep taking it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For more information on David Nohr, visit <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redtonics.com\"><em>www.RedTonics.com<\/em><\/a><em> or call 619.277.2375.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a highly-in-demand Chinese Medicine physician, Dr. Nohr explains how and why ActiveHerb helps him practice Chinese medicine, as it was practiced thousands of years ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1694,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[18],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Meet David Nohr: Practicing Ancient Wisdom; Dispensing a Modern Solution - Activeherb Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dr. David Nohr, acupuncturist, explains how ActiveHerb helps him practice Chinese medicine, as it was practiced thousands of years ago.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.activeherb.com\/blog\/david-nohr.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Meet David Nohr: Practicing Ancient Wisdom; Dispensing a Modern Solution - Activeherb Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"David Nohr is a Classic Chinese Medicine herbalist and physician.
