[DISCLOSURE: I may earn commission if you click and purchase through my CHORUS affiliate link-in-bio] Chorus is a digestive Chinese herbal formula that I use in the clinic for many of my patients of all different patterns (that’s our way of having diagnoses), and now I am excited to share about it here because chances are, my patients are just like you. If you suffer from indigestion, constipation, nausea, drink beer and eat hot Cheetos, then you may benefit from Chorus. Let me explain: indigestion in Chinese medicine speak is better known as “food stagnation.” There are different reasons why food might get stuck in our stomach and not be processed properly. One of the main reasons is stress and negative emotions, but truthfully it’s the modern day diet we eat. It’s hard to change lifestyle habits and we deeply suffer when we’re not doing right by our ancestors and eating an ancestral diet. So we need adaption: Modern Day Problems = Modern Day Solutions.

This is how I helped my patient fix their 4 month old burning tongue syndrome in 5 days with Chinese herbal medicine. This is an educational case study, and not medical advice. #herbalmedicine #chinesemedicine #acupuncture #tonguehealth #burningtongue

This is one of my favorite acupressure points to do on anyone when they are feeling nauseous 🤢, anxious 😥, have heart palpitations 😵‍💫, or have a stomachache 🥴. You just need to remember your 3 fingers to locate PC6 (Pericardium 6) point. If it works for you, you can even sustain the results by putting a lightly taut elastic band around it or tape a piece of bean on the spot. PC6 is so effective, it’s probably one of the most studied acupuncture point in clinical research for postoperative nausea and in children. 🔬 Let me know if PC6 has ever helped you 🥰 Safe for kids and everyone 🥰 #acupressure #nausea #antinausea #chinesemedicine #healthhack #morningsickness

🥄 WHAT IS GUA SHA? Gua sha is a traditional Chinese healing technique, used for the last 3,000+ years that involves scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool: spoon, stone, and metal. The practice involves applying pressure to the skin in long strokes with mild to firm pressure. 🔬 RESEARCH Gua sha originated in the countryside, which was considered folk medicine. In a 2007 gua sha research study (Nielsen et al) conducted in Germany, researchers utilized laser doppler imaging on 11 “healthy but stressed” subjects, including doctors and nurses who had ‘normal’ myalgia pain and evidence of ‘sha’ based on palpation. They established a baseline scan for each subject before gua sha, and then scanned each subject 10 times, once every 2.5 minutes following gua sha, and then performed a follow up scan 2 days later. What did they find? 🔍 They found a 400% increase in microperfusion (surface circulation of blood) for 7.5 minutes following gua sha, and a significant increase for the full 25 minutes following treatment that was studied. Scans returned to baseline at the 2-day point. Every subject experienced a decrease or complete resolution in pain and a better sense of well being.  Even though this small study was pioneered over 14 years ago, it began to open the gate for the validity of Chinese medicine. 📖 🇨🇳 💡HOW DOES IT WORK? In the ancient Chinese medicine text: gua sha increases qi and blood. Essentially, by creating friction on the skin will generate an increase in heat. This heat allows the qi (aka “oxygen”) and blood to move in areas of stagnation. Usually where it’s painful, chances are there is what we call ‘sha. 🥹 BENEFITS 🫰🏼decrease pain: neck stress, shoulder pain, back pain, headaches 🫰🏼improves stress, which can help with insomnia 🫰🏼regulates allergies 🫰🏼supports digestive health Comment below on your experience or with your questions ♥️ No medical advice, just healthy tips 🥰 Please advise with your medical doctor for kids and those who are expecting 👧🏻 🤰🏻 #guashamassage #guashatutorial #chronicpain #insomnia #bodyguasha #fascialrelease #painrelief #chinesemedicine

Drink (more) hot water. 🔥 💦 Drink it for all seasons, all the time. (Yes even summertime). Make it a habit! 💧 CHALLENGE:
But if that’s too much all at once, then try it for 3 days aka 72 hours to SEE how you FEEL. DID YOU KNOW? In 1862, a cholera (acute diarrhea by infection) epidemic broke out in Shanghai, killing up to 3,000 people a day. The south of China, on the other hand, remained untouched by the disease. At the time, Chinese southerners drank more hot water than northerners. This health hack was cemented as the gold standard of traditional Chinese medicine. Hot water and beverages were seen to rid humidity/dampness from the body, which is another fancy way of saying improving digestion and improving fluid metabolism, so you don’t feel sick and/or bloat. 🤰🏻 MODERN DAY HEALTH BENEFITS Any time you go to a Chinese restaurant, you may be served cold water, but you will be served hot as well. Traditional Chinese medicine doctors will ALWAYS advise to drink hot water no matter the severity of the patient’s illness or season. Will you give it a try?
