Always like to share my experience with Chinese Medicine. “ I only can help very few people who came to my clinic one by one, welcome anyone wants to learn from my experience ”. This saying changedOne of my patient told me that he is going to add acupuncture coverage for his employees (more than 1800 people)in 2020 . I said “I am so proud myself”, and he said “you should “ I feel my hard work for my patients have been very appreciated. I never thought that one day I can help people more than one by one . Thank you all my patients for making my life meaningful

Moxa  艾灸  8/14/2019

8/8 was the date of Autumn coming. (立秋）.

Nature’s energy start to turn downward and inward . As Chinese Medicine point of view, it’s very healthy if our body follows nature. Therefore now is the good time to tonify our internal energy. Using moxibustion (艾灸）—-burning dried mugwort leaves is away to help with the tonification process.

Based on Western diagnosis, adrenal exhaustion , cancer patients of weak consultation, and multiple miscarriages can use moxibustion daily to tremendously help your body heal with the support of nature in Autumn. Any other individual diagnosis needs to be evaluated on an individual basis.

To use the moxibustion kit you place the container between your pubic bone and belly button, in the front (关元：lower Dian Tian) , and at L2 level (命门：gate of life) in the back , (position shown in pictures). Allow to burn until not warm in both positions. You can get moxa kit at Amazon.

Chinese Medicine is all about energy, not the chemicals, so I only use non-processed mugwort, not recommend smokeless.

Diet wise we can increase some food in white color to nourish our lungs, example of white pear ( one of my favorite fruit).

Enjoy the autumn !!!

<<黄帝内经>>：素问– 四气调神大论篇第二 (Yellow emperor’s internal medicine: su wen # 2)

是故圣人不治已病治未病， 不治已乱治未乱，此之谓也。夫病已成而后药之，乱已成而后治之，譬犹渴而穿井，斗而铸锥，不亦晚乎！

So the saints have not only to treat disease, but treatment of the disease before they occur. Do not wait until the chaos has happened before going to management, but management before it happens. If the disease has occurred, then go to treatment, just like you dig a well when you feel thirsty,  or you make weapons just before the war takes place. Is it not too late yet?
