Understanding good health as a continuous journey with daily commitment is key. Balancing yin and yang, as well as understanding your emotional state, are vital for your overall well-being. During your acupuncture evaluation, we’ll discuss potential imbalances by exploring the following:
1. Body Temperature: How do you feel? Are you generally too warm or too cold? Both extremes can indicate internal or external imbalances.
2. Energy Levels: Are you consistently tired and fatigued, or do you often feel agitated and on edge?
3. Digestion: From a Chinese Medicine perspective, we’ll discuss how food choices impact your health.
4. Bowel Movements: We’ll review the Bristol Stool Chart and discuss how factors like hydration influence your bowel movements.
5. Sleep: We’ll discuss the importance of consistent, quality sleep and its impact on your overall health.
6. Stress: We’ll identify ways to manage stress and anxiety to support your nervous system.
– Yin Suggestions: Mindfulness practices, deep breathing, meditation, and acupuncture.
– Yang Suggestions: Spending time in nature, exercise, and ensuring adequate recovery.
7. Emotions: How would you describe your overall emotional state today?
8. Pain/Recovery: We’ll discuss the four phases of inflammation and how they impact recovery time.
Remember, achieving and maintaining good health is an ongoing process. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
