Take the TCM 5 Element Personality Quiz! Link in bio π Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views the human body and nature as interconnected and influenced by the same fundamental elements. These elements surround us at all times and are symbolic representations of different aspects of nature and the body's functions. The five elements in TCM are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. In both nature and humans, these elements are not just physical substances but also energies that flow and interact dynamically. When there are imbalances or disharmonies among these elements within the body, it can lead to illness or discomfort. Understanding which element you correspond to can provide insights into your physical constitution, personality traits, and potential health vulnerabilities.
Which is more painful? A needle the width of a few strand of hair or chronic pain/persistent symptoms of imbalance. Acupuncture is not painless. But neither are symptoms such as headaches, PMS, tummy aches, and body pain. Initially, in your Acupuncture treatment, you will feel the needles, but then your entire body will relax & usually you will drift to sleep on the table. Still worried?? We can also incorporate tuning forks into the treatment, so less needles are used. Aditionally, needles come in different gauges, and we have very thin 0.16mm needles that are used for near painless insertion. (For reference, the average injection needles guage used for a flu shot is 0.63mm.) Acupuncturist are trained to tailor the perfect treatment to your individual constitution and needs. If you have any questions, we are always here to help π
Okay don't hate π ... I love coffee too, and it was a great ally through College and that first year post-partum. But if you are getting an adequate amount of sleep, you should be waking up feeling rested. And if you're not, there might be something else going on π§ Coffee is not an energizer, it is a fatigue suppressant. Feeling fatigue is an early warning sign from the body that something isn't right! Listen to it! Ignoring it for years could manifest as a much bigger problem later on. Curious how your body is functioning? TCM and Acupuncture can give you some insight and help! π§ββοΈπ§ββοΈ
