What is Qi?

October 11, 2024October 11, 2024No Comment

If you begin to understand what is meant by “qi” in medicine, you’ll understand that Acupuncture theory isn’t as abstract as you may currently believe.

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine can help with so ma

Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine can help with so many things! I'm really looking forward to working with my patients so they can feel better. 😊

In general, I'm not "fixing" my patients- they also put in effort to improve their own health between appointments with a little guidance!

One of the (many) things that's so great about Chinese Medicine is the food therapy and lifestyle advice that supports patients between appointments and for the rest of their lives. It helps speed up healing and prevent the recurrence of old patterns that we shift using acupuncture and herbology. A patient's recovery is a joint effort and commitment shared by the practitioner and the patient themself.

If you're ready to feel better, but Western medical advice hasn't been able to help you, reach out to your local Acupuncturist (R.Ac) or Chinese Medicine Practitioner (R.TCMP). ✨️Would you try Acupuncture to improve your health and wellness or address a health issue?✨️

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? 😵‍💫 I ca

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? 😵‍💫

I can almost guarantee you’re breathing too shallowly (and quickly) throughout your workday. Find the time for this breathing exercise, or practice it during your next acupuncture appointment.

I promise you’ll notice a difference over time!

Have you tried this breathing exercise before? ✨️

"The dose makes the poison" is a classic toxicolog

"The dose makes the poison" is a classic toxicology adage. 💀 It describes that almost any substance can create harmful effects if you consume enough of it. For some things, this toxic dose is quite tiny, and for others, it's large enough that you'd have great difficulty reaching it.

In Chinese Medicine, it's well understood that too much of anything can throw your body out of balance. ☯️ Even something benign or even constructive like rest or exercise can be detrimental in a large enough "dose".

That said, your average person will never reach that threshold for exercise. 🤭

No substance is considered "good" or "bad"- we don't ascribe morals to food items and habits. However, there are certainly things that contribute to your symptom-inducing patterns and things that reduce them.

You may need different things at different times in your life, and your habits will most likely need to change in order to stay healthy and happy. 🤸‍♀️

If you need help correcting symptoms and bringing your body back into balance: DM your Acupuncturist / Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner! 👇

Irregular menstruation? Dysmennorrhea? Endometriosis? Heavy menstrual bleeding? Amenorrhea? PCOS? Fibroids? 🤕

This point regulates menstruation, eases pain, invigorates blood and transforms dampness (improves blood circulation and breaks up accumulations), calms the mind, harmonizes the Liver, tonifies the Spleen (improves digestive function), and more!✨️

Some small studies have shown that regular self-massage of this point (Spleen 6 / SP6) may be as effective as acupuncture at this point for relieving menstrual cramps. Add this to your self-care arsenal.

📍Find the tender spot or "dip" just behind the edge of your shin bone (tibia), about one hand breadth above your inner ankle bone (medial malleolus).

Massage for 3-5 minutes more than once per day for best results, for example: once before you get out of bed in the morning, and once before you go to sleep at night.

✨️Save this and try it in the morning and before bed!

⚠️ Don't massage this point when pregnant, unless specifically otherwise directed by your Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner.

Why not?! 👇 Repeat after me: I will not drink

Why not?! 👇

Repeat after me: I will not drink cold or iced water or iced coffee for the love of my digestive system, my metabolism, my fertility, and my menstrual period. 💕

Cold is a pathogen! ❄️
It constricts blood flow and causes stagnation, pain, and impairs yang (function). It weakens your digestion over time and can contribute to digestive disorders, menstrual disorders, and fertility issues.

🔥 Physiological heat and warmth = function and activity.
🧊 Cold slows down and impairs function.

It's very important to cover up your neck to protect it from the cold and wind. If you're someone who gets sick frequently or easily, this is your best piece of advice!✨️

Wind and Cold are pathogens in Chinese Medicine, and they love to enter through your exposed neck. When attacked by wind-cold, you might get a headache, an aching or tension in your upper back and neck like you "might be coming down with something", sudden tiredness, sore throat, and more. You might not feel these things right away. It might start later that night, or the next morning. You might even come down with a full-blown illness if your body has been trying to fight something off.

Keep your immune system strong by covering up your neck! 🧣

So, repeat after me: I will not leave the house without a scarf in cold and windy weather. ☝️

Send this to a friend and stay healthy this Fall! 💌

Get well. 🫶
