4 basic elements for health

I would like to share 4 basic elements for maintaining or achieving health with you:
1) Nutrition intake: sunlight, air, water (enough water intake), microelements (mineral, vitamin, etc.)

2) Emotion: this is associated with stress that you ever find a way to release. Does the job fit for you? A happy or nice family relationship, etc.

3) Life style: this is hard to simply describe what a good lifestyle is (more detail will be talked about next time). Basically, go to bed before 11pm, sufficient sleep, and have 3 meals at certain time (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and not over-eating and hunger), etc.

4) Exercise: suitable load of exercise.
These 4 elements are easy to say, but hard to achieve. Can you make it? If you can, you will become healthy.

和大家分享一下,健康的四大条件:
1)营养摄取:阳光,空气,水(摄取充足的水分),微量元素(矿物质,维他命等),饮食均衡。

2)情绪:生活压力是否适当释放,工作环境适不适合,家庭关系和不和睦等。

3)生活习惯:是否按生理时钟作息,11点前睡觉,三餐定时定量等。

4)运动:适当的运动量。
这四个要素,看起来都很简单,但却不容易做到,你做到了吗?如果你能做到,你就拥有健康。

Case: Infertility by blocked fallopian tubes, 输卵管炎性梗塞的不孕

A 36-year-old female, had married for 10 yrs and had never been pregnant. She was diagnosed as infertility caused by blocked fallopian tubes. She had tried many methods to get pregnant, including Western and Chinese medicine. None of these had worked. Since getting 2 treatments of acupuncture and Qigong healing from us, she has got pregnant within 2 months.

This is not only contributed to our acupuncture and Qigong healing, but also to the methods that she had tried before. Those methods still had been helpful for her, just like accumulating enough water in a reservoir. And then we made the correct diagnosis, like finding a right water gate to make water flow. Therefore, only 2 treatments looked like a miracle, but it also included other contributors.

36 岁妇人结婚10年,一直不孕,看遍了中医和西医,各种方法都试过,都没有效果。 经过我们两次气功和针灸的治疗,不到两个月的时间,她就怀孕了;这个病例给我们带来一个讯息,这功劳不全是我们的针和气,我们认为前面她所看的中西医,对他的帮助是一定有的,就像水库一样,水没有积到一定的水量,开闸门是没有水出来的,前面中西医所做的是铺垫的作用,等我们能完全对证治疗时,就看到效果了。两次的治疗看似神奇,原因就在这里。

Common Cold, 感冒

Can you believe that acupuncture can prevent colds and flu? Can make you recover from colds and flu faster?

Acupuncture to Get Better Faster - If you have already come down with a cold or the flu, acupuncture treatments can help relieve symptoms you are currently experiencing including chills, fever, body aches, runny nose, congestion, sore throat and cough. While bringing some immediate relief, treatments will reduce the incidence of an upper respiratory tract infection and shorten the length of the illness.
Acupuncture for Prevention - Acupuncture and Oriental medicine can prevent colds and flu by strengthening the immune system with just a few needles inserted into key points along the body's energy pathways. In Oriental Medicine, disease prevention begins with a protective layer around the exterior of the body called wei qi or defensive energy. There are acupuncture points known for strengthening the circulation of blood and energy and for consolidating the outer defense layers of the skin and muscle (Wei Qi) so that germs and viruses cannot enter through them. If you catch colds easily, have low energy and require a long time recuperating from an illness your wei qi may be deficient.”(1)
