How to Stop Nighttime Urination With Acupressure and Herbal Remedies
Frequent nighttime urination, or nocturia, affects more than just sleep. It's often linked to hormonal imbalances, organ dysfunction, and chronic health issues. Research shows that people who wake up two or more times each night to urinate face a significantly higher risk of early death. Jonathan Liu, a Canadian professor of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), appeared on NTDTV's 'Health 1+1' program to share practical lifestyle therapies, including diet and acupressure. Drawing on clinical experience, he offers insights to help you better understand and manage nocturia effectively. Nocturia: A Warning Sign Liu noted that many medical conditions can trigger nocturia, including benign prostatic hyperplasia, diabetes or high blood sugar, overactive bladder, urinary tract infections, chronic heart diseases (such as heart failure), chronic kidney diseases, and sleep apnea.

Nature's First Aid: How Herbs Speed Up Fracture Healing and Soothe Pain
While crossing the street in laced-up heels, Erica Kuo—a certified clinical aromatherapist and herbal aromatherapy educator—tripped when one of her laces came loose. Acting quickly, she reached into her bag and applied arnica cream, an herbal salve she always carries for emergencies. A hospital visit later confirmed a fractured toe, and a fixation device was used to stabilize it. During the three-month recovery period, Kuo relied on herbal teas, botanical oils, and creams, which she applied directly to the injury, to relieve swelling and pain while supporting her body's natural healing process. Natural remedies, Kuo noted in an episode on Health 1+1, can effectively aid recovery and provide relief, alleviating the need for conventional painkillers.

Sudden Lapse of Vision Could Be a Sign of Stroke: TCM Diet May Clear Your Blood Vessels
Have you ever experienced a sudden loss of consciousness or choked while eating? These events may be signs of cerebrovascular disease, and you should seek medical attention promptly. However, for people with a higher risk of stroke, diet therapy based on their physical condition can help dredge blood vessels and prevent cerebral infarction. Transient Amaurosis: An Indication of Cerebrovascular Issues If you've ever experienced a sudden blackout in front of your eyes, were unable to see, and then quickly returned to normal, you've experienced transient amaurosis. Chen Huixuan, director of the Department of Neurology at Chang'an Hospital in Taiwan, stated on the NTDTV program 'Health 1+1' that transient amaurosis is like the eyes being covered by a black cloth from above, like a curtain that suddenly drops. In most cases, one eye will see darkness or even turn completely blind, and then automatically return to normal within seconds to minutes. It is a temporary and painless loss of vision.

On an episode of the 'Health 1+1' program, Zhang Weijun, fifth-generation successor of the renowned Taiwanese TCM family Huai Sheng Tang, shared a remarkable case.

Beating Cancer With the Heart: One Professor's Mindset Helped Him Stay Healthy for 15 Years
A 7.5-inch tumor, lung metastasis, and multiple rounds of treatment—Han Bo-Cheng, an honorary professor at Taipei Medical University, overcame all odds to defeat liver cancer. Fifteen years later, he remains cancer-free and attributes his recovery not only to medicine but to one powerful force: emotional healing. His story offers hope and insight for those facing cancer or any life-altering crisis. Healing from the Inside Out: A Cancer Survivor's Journey When you are diagnosed with cancer, how you face the illness and navigate treatment becomes a major concern for both you and your loved ones. For Han, the turning point wasn't just medical—it was emotional. In 2008, Han was diagnosed with liver cancer and discovered a massive 7.5-inch, 4.4-pound tumor. After undergoing surgery to remove two-thirds of his liver, the cancer later spread to his lungs. He endured 25 chemotherapy sessions, 12 rounds of radiation, and targeted drug therapy. When the cancer recurred three years later, he required another surgery. Since then, Han has remained cancer-free. Not only has he regained his health, but he also appears younger than his age—something he credits to a complete transformation in mindset. Emotional Healing: The Missing Piece in Cancer Recovery Han believes a crucial part of healing lies in addressing emotions. 'I am the root of all problems, and love is the answer to all of them,' Han said in an interview with NTDTV's 'Health 1+1' program—a central realization during his recovery.
