Do you feel that your health is in decline? Do you get sick frequently? Do you often feel tired? Do you have trouble sleeping? Is it difficult getting up in the morning? Do you lack motivation to exercise and do activities? Do you feel depressed? Do you get upset and stressed more easily? Do you feel bloated? Do you gain weight and have trouble losing it? Do you have trouble with knowing what is good for you to eat to sustain your health? Do you lack the time and energy to cook nutritious meals? If you answered “Yes” to three or more of these questions, you may want to try the Raleigh Acupuncture medicinal cereal.
Raleigh Acupuncture Medicinal Cereal – How It Works
At Raleigh Acupuncture, we understand your struggle. Jinmei Xu is a fourth generation traditional Chinese doctor. She specializes in treating digestive system issues. Based on her thorough understanding of Chinese medicine and Chinese culture, she has created a system of Chinese whole health medicinal cereals known as “Zhou Liao” aimed to improve your whole health. “Zhou” (pronounced “Joe”) is a Chinese word for hot cereal. But Zhou has far more ingredients than what we typically have in hot cereal. By combining whole grains, legumes, flowers, seeds, nuts, plant leaves, and plant roots, Zhou not only nourishes the body, but also treats various diseases. “Liao” simply means “healing” in Chinese.
These unique Zhou formulas have been developed to improve your digestive function. Once improved, your body can transform the food you take into energy instead of excessive fat under the skin and around your belly. With abundant energy you will look forward to your daily activities. Eating Zhou will also help you relax at night and get a good night sleep, so you will feel ready to enjoy your life the next day. Zhou supports your internal organs’ function, enabling you to become healthier and more vibrant. The ingredients in these Zhou formulas change from week to week to support all your organs’ needs through the different seasons. If you are a patient at Acupuncture Associates of Raleigh, we can also tailor these Zhou formulas to your specific condition to better serve you.
Raleigh Acupuncture Medicinal Cereal – How to use
Use these Zhou formulas to replace or supplement one to three meals a day. Use them as a breakfast cereal. Simply add 1 to 2 teaspoons of honey or some salt for a healthy start. These Zhou formulas contain fiber and plant protein, giving you steady energy to keep you going until lunch time. Or for a quick, easy, balanced, healthy lunch, bring a soup container full of Zhou and heat it up in a microwave for a nutritious mid-day meal. For dinner, you can eat Zhou with some lightly sauteed vegetables for a light, easily digestible meal to rejuvenate your body without overworking your digestive system. This way, you will feel satisfied without feeling bloated after dinner. When your body is properly nourished, you will no longer crave sweets or salty foods after meals. This will help you lose weight without even trying.
How to prepare
Zhou is very easy to prepare. It takes the guesswork out of maintaining a balanced diet. Just add 7 cups of water and cook in a slow cooker overnight for 7 hours. This will cook enough Zhou for you for a whole weeks worth of meals. Alternatively, you can prepare the Zhou on high in a slow cooker for about 5 hours. When you ready to eat, just add some water, stir well and heat up in a saucepan or microwave oven until hot. Then you are ready to enjoy this well-balanced meal. You can also prepare Zhou in a pressure cooker for immediate use. Add the same amount of water, put in pressure cooker on high until boiling, then put on lowest setting on the stove to cook 40 minutes.

Asthma: They help people with asthma. People who suffer from asthma usually have issues with phlegm and with the Lung’s natural descending function being disturbed, causing coughing and wheezing. These Zhou formulas boost your digestive system to transform phlegm so that your Lungs can function better. To that degree, any diseases that are caused by phlegm can benefit from eating this Zhou formula. For more information on phlegm causing disease, please refer to my other article for the discussion of diseases caused by phlegm.
Fatigue/Depression: They help people who suffer from fatigue and depression. They help boost energy and eliminate toxins built up in the body. When your body inside is clean, you will feel lighter and be able to move out of fatigue and depression.
Cancer: They help to prevent cancer and help to shrink cancer growth. Cancer is a scary word but it is nothing more than cells growing out of control. The cause of cancer from a Chinese medicine perspective is that your body does not eliminate phlegm efficiently and the energy in the body does not flow freely. These two mechanisms cause a decline in the body’s proper organ function which can lead to abnormal cell growth (cancer). These Zhou formulas improve phlegm elimination and increase proper energy circulation in the body, therefore helping to prevent cancer and helping cancer patients heal faster.
Fertility/Pregnancy: They help women get pregnant and deliver healthy babies. Zhou cereals have ingredients that regulate and improve hormone levels. They improve blood circulation to the uterus and build uterine lining. They help to maintain and improve reproductive functions.
Cholesterol: They lower LDL Cholesterol level. They contain whole grains that have plenty of fiber to lower LDL. They also contain food-grade Chinese herbs to help the body to lower LDL Cholesterol levels. That is why they also keep the colon healthy.
Arthritis: They help with arthritis. Arthritis is caused by dampness accumulated in the body. That is why most arthritis sufferers feel more pain on rainy days. These Zhou cereals have ingredients that boost the body’s function to transform dampness and eliminate inflammation

What our Clients are Saying
My husband Arthur and I have used Raleigh Acupuncture bi-weekly for at least 4 years, for a variety of treatments, including general well-being. Both of us felt our ailments healed with the treatment. I initially visited for Irritable Bowel Syndrome – and had immediate relief… the practitioners are very professional and learned, and we have every confidence in them. Even though we pay out of pocket, we obviously feel that the acupuncture is worth it. We both highly recommend Raleigh Acupuncture – you won’t regret it!
About six months ago I starting getting debilitating fatigue, to the point where I could not exercise and had to drag myself through the day at work. The doctors said it must be stress, because there was nothing wrong with me. But when I went to Raleigh Acupuncture, they said that my digestion was weak. They said I was not getting proper energy from the food I was eating, so they treated my digestive system. I was amazed to see my energy increase after the treatments. Within 10 treatments I was back to my old self, exercising again and working through the day no problem. And as a side benefit, I started losing weight. They said this was related to my improved digestive function. Now my friends want to go because they see my energy back and see me losing weight!
I run a restaurant in town, and as you could imagine, it was impossible for me to lose weight. When I heard about Dr. Jinmei’s weight loss program from a friend I was skeptical. But I tried it anyway. I’m so glad I did. I lost 40 pounds during the program, and have kept it off ever since. And the amazing thing is that I didn’t have to diet! I kept eating the foods I wanted, but by using the tools she taught and getting the acupuncture, the weight just came off. Thank you Jinmei!
I have been a long time client and friend of Jinmei and Mark. I came to learn of their practice from a friend of mine who had remarkably lost a great deal of weight, when I asked how he achieved this accomplishment he pointed me to their practice. This goes back to 2008; my initial success with their program for weight loss was very quick and lasting. Jinmei always made a point to see how I was doing not only in the area of weight loss which initially brought me in but also she always was treating the total me asking about any concerns that she could help me with. I strongly recommend their practice; you will not find more results oriented, concerned or caring acupuncture practitioners.
