Balance is always important. Especially when healing.
To keep things flowing smoothly it’s important to have balance. Focusing more on one thing and forgetting or ignoring others creates a situation that is not harmonious – and this can cost you greatly further down the road.
Balancing energies has been a big area of focus in Eastern medicines for thousands of years. It’s something that isn’t really talked about in our evidence-based Western medicine, but is crucial in, for example, Traditional Chinese Medicine. And when we speak of balance, this also applies to how we combine and use the techniques each of these approaches offers.
This is an interesting and important point that Dr. Felicia Yu, an integrative medicine physician with a specialty in traditional Chinese medicine and culinary medicine, brings up in this talk – that Western and Eastern medicine can be viewed as the Yang and the Yin, which also means that knowing when to use one approach, and when to look to the other is essential.
In this interview, you’ll discover:
- What are the blind spots of Western medicine and how Eastern medicine can complement your healing.
- How yin and yang energy affect your recovery.
- Different modalities that can help you resolve chronic and acute pain.
- Hands-on work: 4 acupressure points to keep your energy flowing.
