WE HAVE heard it all before – it’s the new year and of course we have overindulged in the holidays.
This is the time we start looking at the fad diets or grand ideas of taking up running again!
Why do we do this?
We do it because our body tends to be feeling worse for wear. We have had a few weeks off to relax and take note of where we are mentally, physically and emotionally, before we get swept up in the mania that is our lives.
You would like to set things right!
So what is the answer to the bloating, weight gain, irregular bowel movements, lethargy and fatigue, which are the outcomes of a stagnant system?
It’s important to work with your body and understand how your unique system works.
In Chinese medicine we do not look at the human body as a separate entity from the mind or emotions, instead we work on the whole to achieve balance.
At the rate of knots that our world moves, we all tend to lose touch with ourselves and our bodies, not taking time to learn and understand what is best for us.
We look at the whole, not just the body but your life and using acupuncture, diet, exercise, herbs and meditation.
This is to regulate a balance that can achieve healthy outcomes for your mind, body and spirit.
