On Friday I was on the radio for my first time & it was fun! Josh, the Feel Good Fella naturopath at work invited me as his guest & we had a chat about gluten-free diets as last week was Coeliacs week. Here are a few interesting tips for improving DIGESTION in general by nourishing your Spleen & Stomach energy. Fennel seeds are great for the digestive tract and Nutmeg is beneficial for the small intestine. Most of immunity is in our gut so take a good probiotic. Did you know that over-thinking decreases your Stomach Qi actually decreasing stomach acid needed for digestion? Healing starts within with your mind-body connection. Meditation and deep breathing excersises like QIGONG strengthen the body so that it can heal itself. Bring awareness to your innate inner strength of the body-mind instead of any weakness. Where your mind goes, Qi flows! “Heavenly Pivot” an acupuncture point also known as ST-25 on the Stomach Meridian is located at the center of the body about 2 thumbs-width either side of the belly button. The nature of this point is poetically illuminated by Lonny Jarrett, “Heavenly Pivot empowers grace through transitions by strengthening our balanced relationship to center. It empowers the virtue of being able to move dynamically in any direction, and plays an important role in cultivation of primordial Qi as a foundation resource in health and healing.” This point reflects the principle within Chinese Medicine where a human being is the connection between heaven and earth. This acupuncture point Regulates the intestines, Spleen and Stomach Resolves dampness and damp-heat Regulates Qi and blood and eliminates stagnation Come try Japanese Acupuncture with Kerry Posniak, call 5223 2370 to book.
