“Prevention is better than war”

In fact, Chinese medicine by a subtle analysis of pulse and tongue, arrived to detect early signs of disease. We must remember that the disease (for Chinese doctors) first appear in the meridians from superficial to deep. We can say that the physical manifestation of a disease (runny nose, unspecified pain) is the sign of a disorder of energy first. The body consists of layers of energy and physical layers.
This is a totally Western dfférente our vision.
It is not more but different.

Concretely, we recommend four sessions a year if possible change of season (today it is increasingly unwanted) as a precaution.

Why?

We know that every season change, the body must adapt more or less successfully to changes in temperature etc. Every season, the body may develop a disease mapping. For example, if moisture, joint pain may wake up: in summer (heat and humidity) and winter (cold and humidity).

Hence the interest to come a little earlier if you indentifies peak periods in the recurrent disease: for example, every spring allergies, headaches exacerbated in the summer, rheumatism accentuated in winter or summer. If you tend to have a dry house (regardless of body fluids for example) this may be exacerbated during periods of heat.

Unless you of vital energy, the more adaptation to the changing seasons will be difficult. This is the typical case of people catching cold systematically lower airflow at the slightest drop in temperature.
Or people catching gastroenteritis rehearsal …There is no inevitability to this. Acupuncture helps to stimulate “peaceful” energy of the body’s defense.

Moxibustion gently stimulates these strategic points to increase energy security and innate energy gained from food. Nutrition based on the teachings of Chinese Medicine is essential capital itself.
We all possess an innate energy that comes from our parents, ancestors etc. …Like genes, we have what I call “a map or energy code” unique.

It is often represented by the flame of a candle is to say if it is essential but fragile. The texts tell us that without the energy gained, this innate energy out and we do not exceed the age of five.
The energy gained is a mixture of energy provided by food and drink and the air we breathe. Here’s why breathing is so important in all disciplines as Asian Yoga, Qi Cong, Tai Ji and martial arts in general.
When we speak of drinks in Chinese medicine we talk about tea.
I shall return to the virtues of Chinese tea now scientifically proven.

The “how to eat” Chinese is very different from the French gourmet dining for example. Sun Miao and if we already said that six centuries AD:

“Whoever does not know can not live to eat.”

In Chinese medicine, health is really on our plates away from the aesthetic considerations or calories. Indeed, to preserve or improve their health, the Chinese cook with the seasons …They already use the herbal base mixed with their food to control a particular disease.

But what is it anyway?

The body contains about 400 acupuncture points by counting those who are outside of the meridians and are being discovered even today.
These points are fully identifies and mapped using anatomical. From ancient China, Chinese doctors knew perfectly anatomy. They knew enough physiology.

Acupuncture points are usually distributed on the main path of the meridian to which they belong. These issues stimulated by the needles (in rotation left / right or right / left or removal / insertion more or less rapid) are used to:
- Clear the blocked energy
- To strengthen such a body or organ as such and to enhance their physiological functions.
- Can calorifier certain points through the sagebrush on the sleeve of the needle: very effective in cases of BI (pain) or by a motion ‘cool’ areas.

yes but what is a point of acupuncture?

The ancients symbolized the points as nodes that can be seen on the stems of bamboos. These are not the bones, tendons, or the flesh and skin, so what?

According to archaeological research and modern, these are ALL the interstitial spaces of the body. Indeed, the body is made up of ‘empty’ and ‘full’: it contains envelopes that surround the muscles, ligaments that hold up the organs adjacent organs, viscera etc … there are ‘empty ‘and’ full ‘which follow one another and it is between these empty and full as these points are located. This is so in nature, observe the arrangement of atoms etc. …

Always remember the idea that energy is carried in the body through the meridians and by / in the acupuncture points. Americans talk about the latest research of the energy states in the reticulocytes of the body.

Acupuncture points are where the IQ between floats, moves and spell.
Idea of ??movement, Chinese medicine is not static. So should we be surprised to feel like waves, or heat, or tingling, or electricity, or freshness, or heaviness once the needles inserted.

Contrary to an erroneous idea, that does not ‘evil’!

It is a fact rather surprising to feel his body ‘alive’ through sensations new energy for us, but it is the ‘proof’ that the energy work is done.
Breathe deeply and relax. Enjoy this unique moment when your body and mind are restored, to harmoniously rebalance on the road to health …

In a modern world where we no longer have time for anything, not even to say hello, remember to appreciate the time you spend your practitioner of Chinese medicine …

it has become, alas, rare enough to point out ….
