My doctor is a general practitioner and an osteopath. But he also devotes himself to Chinese medicine. He recently suggested me to try to solve my stomach trouble with acupuncture.
He told me about equilibrium, yin and yang... He said I had a "yin gap" in my stomach... :confused:
He also told me that in Chinese medicine food is divided into yin and yang, and that the thing is to balance both in your organism. Roughly, yang are vegetables and fruit: just what I eat the least, safe in summer... In a word, he meant I was all wrong as far as eating and, with the help of acupuncture and yin & yang principles, I could get rid of that stomach bug... Well, why not?
This and the rest sound very interesting, but before being pinned like a hedgehog, I'd like to get views from members here who have experienced Chinese medicine (or still are "adepts")...
The only one in my family who tried acupuncture is my father, who tried to quit smoking cigarettes with the "help" of acupuncure in the Pyrenees 25 years ago...
He got his ears pinned during an afternoon, and couldn't smoke... until the afternoon after. We had a walk in the mountain with my family, and on the way back, the first thing he did was stop at a tobacco seller's to buy a couple of packs of Gitanes. He was as pale as snow, literally. :eek:
So, he stopped smoking for one day... Maybe my stomach will leave me alone for about as long?
But my dad is a very special case.
Before being pinned myself like a hedgehog, I'd like to know the views of members here who may have experienced Chinese medicine (or still are "adepts") for any reason... Thanks!
