Acupuncture / Types of pathologies treated with acupuncture:
Digestive System Energetic Balancing Through Pulse The Japanese recommended a simplified approach to taking a radial pulse, which is equally appropriate for work in acupuncture, which targets energetic circulation in the meridians. The Chinese pulse is reserved for diagnosing and used in pharmacopeia and is thus much more appropriate for using herbs. Nonetheless, essential information can be drawn from the pulse that can add to diagnosis and treatment in acupuncture. Energetic Diet The distinctive character of the Chinese energetic diet resides mainly in the classifying of foods according to their energetic nature, which derives mainly from the dichotomy of yin and yang. Over the centuries, Chinese doctors have observed the effects of food on the body and spirit. They classified them according to their refreshing or warming action, or, in other words, according to which foods increase or slow down the metabolism, what calms us or activates us. In terms of diagnosis and energy, this is interpreted through the symptoms associated to states of excess or deficiency in heat, cold, and through the sensations of weight or heaviness (humidity) or signs of dryness (dry skin, dry hair, etc.). The Chinese energetic diet can make a big difference between poor and excellent health. By bringing the necessary adjustments to your diet, you can ease the healing process and reduce the possibilities of the problem recurring. |
