Before beginning any kind of new lifestyle regimen or resolution, it is important to address existing health concerns first before they get worse. For example, if you have been experiencing chronic pain or fatigue due to an underlying medical condition such as high blood pressure or arthritis, it is essential that you seek medical advice from qualified health advisers in order to obtain an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. It is extremely important to take proactive preventive measures through lifestyle adjustments such as dietary modifications and physical activity.
Taking a holistic approach means being mindful of all aspects of your life - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual - when striving for better health and wellness this new year. This includes focusing on nutrition by choosing nourishing whole foods; engaging in regular physical activity; getting enough restful sleep; finding ways to manage stress levels; connecting with nature; cultivating positive relationships; connecting with yourself spiritually; practicing mindfulness; and more. By addressing all aspects of our lives we are able to create sustainable balance that leads us towards achieving true wellness from within.
Don't wait till you are sick and feeling unwell before taking actions! Preventive care should be made a priority this new year as prevention is always better than cure! Prevention involves taking proactive measures such as regular health screenings for early detection of illnesses so that proper treatments are put into place before they become worse. It also includes learning more about our own bodies – understanding body constitution becomes the foundation whereby Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnoses and treats similar illnesses – so that we can find out which diet, lifestyle and exercises works best for us according to our needs in order to maintain good health all year round!
Discuss your health status and find out about your body's constitution with our team of TCM professionals Dr. Li and Coach Maggie, we are here to help you each step of the way.
It is no secret that taking care of our bodies can help us live longer and healthier lives. But beyond physical health, there are other benefits to good health and wellness as well. Studies have shown that individuals who prioritize their health often experience increased levels of happiness, better mental clarity, lower stress levels, improved concentration, greater productivity levels at work, stronger relationships with family and friends—the list goes on!
Now that we understand the importance of making health a priority this year, let’s discuss how we can actually do it. First things first—make sure your goals are realistic. Don’t set yourself up for failure by setting goals that are too ambitious or unattainable. Start small and make manageable lifestyle changes that you can stick with over time. Drink more water each day; take walks around your neighborhood after dinner; invest in a gym membership; enlist the help of a friend who wants to achieve similar goals—these are all great places to start when trying to reach your health goals for the year!

Traditional Chinese medicine describes special acupoints that lie along meridians, or channels in our bodies. And it is believed that unblocking meridians through body scraping (Guasha) or massage can effectively enable a smooth flow of Qi in your systems and repunish organs' and overall vitality.
There are 12 major meridians connect specific organs or networks of organs, organizing a system of communication throughout your body. The meridians begin at your fingertips, connect to your brain, and then connect to an organ associated with a certain meridian. According to this theory, when one of these meridians is blocked or out of balance, illness can occur.
In today blog, let's focus on the eye care, one of the most important feature of our face. There are 6 important acupoints around the eyes that can help us reduce eye pressure and wrinkle around the eyes effectively and safely.
To guasha these 6 acupoints correctly, please follow these 2 directions of the upper part and lower part of our eye sockets:
📍Sibai point - it is the acupoint of the stomach meridian of Foot Yangming. Great for reducing dark circles and bags under the eyes. We recommend to scrape along this points 3-4 times a day to lighten the dark circles and reduce the under eye bags!
📍Tongziliao point - Tongziliao is the starting point of the gallbladder meridian.
We recommend to scrape the Tongziliao point for 5 seconds each time, 2 times a day to best reduce the appearance of the crows feet!
⚠️ Regularly guasha the eye area can also effectively relieve eye fatigue, prevent myopia, and improve vision.

Among the five internal organs in our body, the kidney is the main storage of essence (body's vital energy), and it's the innate foundation and the root of life. Poor kidney function can cause many common health problems, such as low back pain, baldness and white hair, poor energy, frequent urination or even nocturia, etc.
In order to maintain healthy kidneys, besides well known healthy habits such as good sleep patterns, balanced diet, avoid smoking and excess drinking, etc, stimulation into the Kidney Meridian through these key acupressure points can help!
In terms of dietary therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that if you want to nourish the kidneys, dark-colored foods can help nourish the kidneys, more dark-colored foods in the long term can be helpful for strengthening the kidneys, such as black beans, blackberry, mulberry.
The acupoints, such as Yongquan acupoint, Shenshu acupoint, Taixi acupoint, combining with kidney nourishing teas, and TCM supplements can help maximizing the effect with half the effort.
Yongquan Point is a key point on the Kidney Meridian of Foot Shaoyin. It is located at the intersection of the anterior third of the midline of the sole of the foot, which is the depression in front of the sole of the foot when the toes are flexed. "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" says: "The kidney comes out of the spring, and the spring is the heart of the foot." It means that the qi of the kidney meridian is like the water of the source, which comes from the feet and pours out to irrigate the whole body and limbs. Therefore, Yongquan Point plays an important role in maintaining wellness.
Taixi acupoint is the most critical acupoint in the kidney meridian, which brings together the source of vitality of the human body. The ancients also called it "one of the nine points of Huiyang", which has a high effect of restoring yang qi and saving vitality from exhaustion.
Taixi acupoint is located in the place where there is cartilage behind the ankle, and frequent stimulation of Taixi acupoint has a high effect on improving kidney function. Stimulating for five minutes a day has a very obvious maintenance effect on the human body. It is best to stimulate the effect better when the kidney meridian is flowing, that is, from 17:00 to 19:00. When massaging, you can use your thumb to press, or you can use some tools to massage. Usually massage until there is a feeling of soreness and numbness.

After sitting for a prolonged period of time, the wrong postures will be a contributing factor to knee pains, backache, low back pain, and spinal numbness! In worse cases, even causing lumbar muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation.
Bad sitting posture 1: Crossing Legs
Sitting with overlapping legs, which is a bad sitting posture.
Bad Sitting Posture 2: Crossing Ankles
Sitting with your ankles crossed, which is a bad sitting posture.
Under the influence of these two sitting positions, the inappropriate angle between the thigh and the calf leads to a change in the position of the knee joint. Maintaining such sitting position for a long time will easily cause the cartilage in the knee joint to wear down, and it will become more and more serious as we age.
If your knee only makes an occasional "clicking" sound, when walking, going up and down stairs, running and jumping, or you are experiencing knee pain caused by standing or sitting for a long time, now is a good time to pay attention to your body and start correct exercises to prevent further damages.
(The picture is accelerated, the actual action can be slowed down)
Coach Maggie demonstrates this exercise as shown in the video above. After lying down, lift your heels, straighten your legs and slowly lift them up to the limit you can bear, and then slowly fall down (you don't need to fall back to the bed/ground during the process). Repeated lifting and lowering slowly, at a constant speed, until some soreness and fatigue, you can stop and put your legs down.
(The picture is accelerated, the actual action can be slowed down)
Coach Maggie demonstrates this exercise as shown in the video above. After lying on your back, lift your feet up, simulating the action of stepping on a bicycle in the air, alternating your legs back and forth. The process is uniform and slow, and when you feel sore and tired, stop and rest.
(The picture is accelerated, the actual action can be slowed down)
Coach Maggie demonstrates this exercise as shown in the video above. Sit on a chair, hook up your toes, place a sandbag on your ankle (you can use a bag of 500g salt instead of a sandbag), and then slowly lift your calf and lower it slowly (no need to land). Evenly and slowly, stop and rest when you feel sore and tired, and fall back to the ground.
To make your knees "stronger" and more "wear-resistant", these exercises on a daily basis are recommended.
Last but not least, as a friendly reminder, if you often need to sit for a long time, please be sure to get up and move around regularly, find time to practice the above exercises, always remind yourself to maintain correct sitting and standing postures to protect your knees and overall health!

Perfect and glowing skin is widely regarded as a sign of good health, which is largely depends on three major factors:
1) Your digestive system is functioning well to absorb the nutrients from the food,
2) Your excretory system to efficiently eliminate waste products,
3) Your hormones are balanced.
Continuing from the last week's topic Skincare Essentials for Spring, in this blog, let's learn about the important acupoints that can help regain a good health, hence transform your skin conditions!
Acupressure has been used in China as a beauty therapy for decades with proven effectiveness. Acupressure is to help improve skin condition, firm up facial muscles and connective tissues that have weakened due to aging over the years.
1. Quchi Point / Shousanli Point
These two acupunts belongs to the Large Intestine Meridian, and are located at the top of the horizontal line of the elbow bent at a right angle, and about 1 inch down from the elbow (as shown on pictures above).
Stimulating these two points can help strengthen the digestive system and excretory system, clear away excess heat in body, and reduce inflammation and alleviating allergies.
2. Sanyinjiao Point
It is an acupoint on the Spleen Meridian of Foot Shaoyin, located on the inner side of the calf, about four finger widths above the tip of the inner ankle. It has the effect of promoting blood circulation and dredging collaterals and regulating skin allergy symptoms.
3. Xuehai Point
It belongs to the Spleen Meridian, located where the palm is clasped on the knee and the thumb is pressed. Stimulation can help invigorates and cools the blood, dispels blood stasis (cause to pale and dull skin complexion), harmonizes menstruation, balances hormone.
4. Liver Meridian on Face
The Liver Meridian is responsible for the replenishment of the blood for growth and renewal by filtering, detoxifying, nourishing, and storing blood. It regulates the amount of blood circulating, withdrawing and storing it when resting or sleeping, and releasing it during exercise.
Insufficient rest, irregular sleeping pattern and emotional imbalances could cause blockage along this meridian and the function of Liver organ, hence it reflects on the face as dark spots, especially on the cheekbones below the eye.
Regular massage and Guasha will help fade the dark spots and improve the overall complexion. (see Dr. Li's Liver Meridian Facial Guasha Video below)
* Acupressure alone is not a magic wand that can instantly make your skin glow. But they are trigger points to help you regulate your digestive system, and balance hormones. Along with a balanced diet, regular exercise regime and a healthy lifestyle, you will be on the right path to a brighter skin complexion!

As the temperature rises, the skin becomes dry, begins to peel, prone to rashes, acne, etc., and the problems go on from there.
In addition to sun protection while outdoors, the following practical methods are highly recommended for spring skincare regime:
Do you always feel dry after washing your face, the skin on your face often feels tight and lacks elasticity when you touch your face with your hands.
Another indication of dryness is when you look in the mirror, if you find that your complexion is dull, the skin around your eyes has fine lines, your skin feels itchy or dry and peeling after taking a shower, and your face is prone to oily T-zone but your cheeks are getting drier, that means your skin is an urgent need of correct hydration.
Due to the gradual rise of the temperature in Spring, the secretion of sebaceous glands has also begun to flourish, and the climate in early Spring is relatively dry, the skin is more prone to dryness and cracking.
Moisturizing is the first important recommendation of Spring skincare. But how do we moisturize for a better skin condition?
4 Things to do for Hydration
1) The most important thing is to maintain the body's hydration level, by drinking sufficient amount of water every day. Drinking water can be easily forgotten, so set several alarms to prevent yourself from forgetting to drink water when you are busy. In addition to hydration, drinking plenty of water is also for detoxification and discharge of waste from the body.
How much is enough? According to The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is: About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men. About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women.
2) Mornings and evenings are important times to replenish the skin's hydration, by using mild and natural hydration massage oil and skin lotions (be sure that these products are something you have used before, or products with natural ingredients to prevent further allergy).
3) Regularly apply a moisturizing and hydrating facial mask to retain moisture on the skin. If you already experience cracking or visible dryness after washing face, you could also try applying fresh Aloe Vera juice (fresh from Aloe leaf if possible) to the face for 10 mins, before showering. Do this 3 times a week, you will notice significant difference in your skin's complexion!
4) Humidity in the air is also important. It is recommended to use a humidifier with an essential oil dispenser, tree oil and lavenders are both good choices for Spring time!
In Spring, the temperature changes greatly, and it is windy and dry, which can easily make sensitive skin unable to adapt. In the season of blooming flowers, pollen and catkins flutter in the wind, making sensitive skin more prone to allergic reactions such as skin eczema and rashes, causing redness, dryness, peeling, and itching.
When allergic reactions such as skin redness, itching, and dryness occur, do not touch it with your hands, and do not use hormone ointments indiscriminately. Long-term use of hormone ointments to reduce inflammation can easily lead to sequelae of skin atrophy and hyperpigmentation.
In case of facial allergic reaction, you can use pure cold water to wet compress for emergency treatment. An effective and natural plant to relief skin allergy is Aloe Vera, ideally fresh from Aloe Vera leaf. Always have a piece of leaf in the fridge ready for relieving skin reactions. They can also be applied on a regular basis to treat dryness and skin eczemas.
Aloe Vera is a plant that can easily survive, even in a pot, so having the plant is a good idea, whether you have a large backyard or a cozy patio.

Facial edema, wrinkles, and puffiness around the eyes are the most stressful things for many of us in the mornings. Commonly, the well-known way to avoid bloating is to lower the salt intake. In fact, there are other helpful everyday habits you could do to easily help with bloating.
In this article, we have summarized the 5 key lifestyle adjustments and a bonus 3-min Acupressure Massage to help you ease facial edema, and enjoy a more radiant complexion in the mornings!
Reason 1 for Facial Edema: Not drinking the right amount of water | Drinking water at the wrong time
Drinking too little water will slow down the body's water circulation function, and it will not be able to discharge excess water normally. In addition, swollen faces may also be caused by edema caused by too much water intake, especially within 2 hours before bedtime. It is recommended to drink "2000c.c of water" every day during the day time to maintain normal physiological functions, avoid taking too much fluid and salt in the evening time.
If you often stay up late or having poor quality of sleep, resulting in lack of sleep, it will also lead to a swollen face. Having a poor sleeping habit, such as staying up late, can lead to lower lymphatic circulation, interrupting the functioning of Gallbladder Meridian, causing the various wastes accumulated in the body harder to be discharged, and higher water retention in the body.
11pm-1am is the time of the Gallbladder and in order to wake feeling energized the body should be at rest before 11pm. At 1am is when our liver energy starts to flow, and the liver is the main detoxifying organ in the body.
Reason 3 for Facial Puffiness: Eat cold & raw food often
Some people like to consume cold drinks and raw foods, especially in the summertime. Eating cold and raw food, TCM explains that the nature of cold food increases the burden on the digestion system, and after the body's constitution becomes colder, blood circulation will deteriorate as well, and the body will accumulate more water, which will also likely lead to edema.
Reason 4 for Facial Puffiness: Salty, deep fried and heavy foods
Eating too much salt can cause bloating. Excessive intake of salt in food will increase the content of sodium-ions in the body, and cause an imbalance in the electrolytes in the body, and allow water to stay in the tissues and cause edema. Therefore, it is recommended that you eat lighter flavor and fresh food to stop the bloating, especially for the last meal of the day.
Reason 5 for Facial Puffiness: Too much stress
Excessive stress in daily life will easily lead to irregular lifestyle, and slow down the operation of the body's lymphatic system, and eventually cause body edema and often facial edema.
Coach Maggie shows you how to reduce facial puffiness easily - 3 minutes acupressure massage for a more radiant complexion and firmer skin!

Do you know? There is a kind of fat called Bloatedness, which is caused by heavy humidity. Today we will take a look at how the moisture in your body turns into fat step by step, and making you fat.
How is moisture formed?
In the body, there are two organs that manage water, one is the kidney and the other is the spleen. The kidneys love water, while the spleen hates water and loves dryness.
Kidney yang energy reacts with food nutrition to generate body temperature and heat, and water is evaporated and transpired upwards. The spleen is in charge of the stomach and intestines, absorbs the water in the body into the blood, the blood transports the water back to the kidneys, and part of the water is made into urine, thus forming the circulation of body fluids.
For a healthy person, the strength of the kidney and spleen are comparable, but what if the spleen is deficient?
So a lot of wetness, that is, moisture will accumulate in the body in large quantities, and the tongue will be soaked in water and become large and swollen, covered with thick and white tongue coating, and there are tooth marks on the edges.
Moisture tend to accumulates in the lower body, abdomen and legs. They are mixed with fat, making people look fatter. There is also a lot of water and wetness in the pulled stool, that is, diarrhea, loose stools, and unformed stools.
These water and dampness accumulate quickly. Some weight loss prescriptions use diuretic methods to increase the body’s drainage capacity, which can be effective quickly.
Do you know? The phlegm you spit and the fat in your belly are pretty much the same thing!
Dampness is produced by spleen deficiency. The body usually has a place to store moisture, which is the lungs. According to Chinese medicine, "phlegm is produced by the spleen and stored in the lungs."
Moisture is stored in the lungs and forms phlegm, which fills every alveolus, but the air inhaled by the lungs can evaporate the phlegm and vaporize it.
Exhaled out of the body with the breath, a process called gasification.
Moisture and fat are relatives, and both are called phlegm-damp in Chinese medicine, and they are also the prey of lung qi transformation. Lung qi fills the whole body. The more qi, the quicker it will evaporate the moisture in the body; the lung qi enters the blood and mixes into qi and blood.
Fat people generally have symptoms such as spleen deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, and if their body fat is taken out, the rest will be as thin as a stick. 140 g of fat = 70 g of fat + 70 g of flesh and blood.
Fat people who are weak often go on a diet and exercise to reduce fat as soon as they arrive. The correct way is to supplement the body. The addition of the body and the subtraction of fat are done together. Only doing subtraction will eventually reduce more diseases, but weight loss is still ineffective.
Only by properly conditioning the spleen and stomach and replenishing qi and blood can we truly lose weight successfully, and fast!
Summarize the above questions
1. Obesity is first caused by spleen deficiency.
2. Moisture causes spleen deficiency
3. The combination of strengthening the spleen, removing dampness, and nourishing qi and blood can lead to healthy weight loss without rebound.
To lose weight for fat people caused by heavy humidity, they should start from the above three aspects.
How to remove dampness and lose weight?
We recommend a few acupoints for dampness and weight loss, and they are so easy to perform at home!
1. Zhongwan
Zhongwan acupoint is the meeting place of the organs, the spleen and stomach are the outer and inner sides of each other, and both are the foundation of postnatal transformation. They work together to dissolve water and dampness in the body. Therefore, massaging Zhongwan acupoint can effectively warm the middle and dispel cold, strengthen the spleen and remove dampness, and harmonize the stomach.
2, Fenglong point
Chinese medicine believes that the spleen is the source of phlegm. Disorders of the spleen and stomach, stagnation of water and dampness, and accumulation of phlegm caused by various reasons can be solved by massaging Fenglong acupoint. Fenglong acupoint has the effect of dispelling dampness. It can effectively remove turbidity.
3. Shiehai point
Xuehai acupoint belongs to the spleen meridian of Foot Taiyin and is an important acupoint for the treatment of blood disease. Xuehai acupoint can nourish blood and activate blood, invigorate the spleen and remove dampness, dispel wind and relieve itching. It is an important acupoint for preventing and treating diseases. , the moisturizing effect is very good.
In fact, it is not difficult to remove dampness and lose weight. The most important thing is persistence and finding the right method.

Many friends often have the above problems. Many people think that this is not a serious disease, but they should also pay attention to it.
Body edema is closely related to kidney function and blockage of the kidney meridian. Dysfunction of the kidneys and blockage of the kidney meridian can easily cause the water to stop.
Since the bladder meridian and the kidney meridian are external and internal meridians, the bladder is responsible for cooperating to discharge the "wastewater" in the body.
If these two meridians are not qi and blood, it usually causes edema of the lower extremities and ascends to the face. If the bladder meridian is blocked from the buttocks, there will be more diseases of the lower extremities, and varicose veins are a typical phenomenon.
Kidney meridian and bladder meridian (exterior and interior of each other), a major symptom of blockage is lower limbs, face and eyes edema!
Poor qi and blood circulation, insufficient kidney qi, it is recommended to do more meridian dredging exercises, eat less salty and cold food, and master the following 4 health care methods, take care of the body's kidney qi, qi and blood circulation, and help to cure body edema question.
The kidney is a core organ of the human urinary system and plays the role of main water. The understanding of this point is the same in Chinese and Western medicine. The dysfunction of the kidneys is the most likely to cause the water to stop. The "Huangdi Neijing" calls the kidneys the root of water. Kidney governs water and relies on the transpiration and qi transformation of yang qi in the kidney. The yang qi in the kidney is the foundation of yang qi of the whole body. Only when the yang is warm can they maintain their normal functions.
The kidneys are in charge of the metabolism of water and fluids, that is, through the warming and steaming of kidney yang, water is transformed into qi and circulated throughout the body. Therefore, once the kidney yang is insufficient, the water in the body will be cold and not melted, and it will accumulate in the body and cause flooding, which will lead to a series of diseases with abnormal water metabolism.
The movement of water and fluids in the human body depends on the promotion of qi, so that the spleen, lung, heart and kidney qi can function normally. The kidneys and bladder are about the outside and inside (work together to expel the "wastewater" in the body), so the imbalance of the kidney meridian will make the bladder gasification unfavorable, and the body will accumulate fluid and cause edema.
Method 1: dredging meridians and collaterals - Qi and blood circulation

Method 3: Traditional Chinese Medicine Maintenance - Invigorating the Kidney and Strengthening the Heart

In holistic medicine, the 12 meridians of the body are the main trunks that support the movement of qi and blood in the body.
The meridians and collaterals are interconnected with each other to form a network of "qi" (energy), "blood" (nourishing substances), and various body fluid circulation, and connect them. The body surface, limbs, and viscera maintain the normal physiological functions of the body. Therefore, if the "meridians" are unobstructed, qi and blood can run smoothly throughout the body, and the viscera, skin, muscles, bones, joints, and other tissues can be nourished, and the body will not suffer from illness; otherwise, If due to bad habits, such as long-term incorrect posture causes muscle stiffness, blockage of meridians, and obstruction of qi and blood transport, after a period of accumulation, pain and discomfort will appear first, and more serious diseases will form.

Health-related issues:
Q: I know that Li Natural Healthcare has a good course, and my friends are also taking it. I am a mother of two children. I don't sleep well, my body is stiff, and I am prone to pain. Which one is more suitable for me?
A: Coach Maggie: Many middle-aged friends have these troubles. It is recommended not to do strenuous exercise 2 hours before going to bed. We can do a decompression mat exercise 30 minutes before bed. First of all, we want to loosen the spine, welcome to watch our spine maintenance exercise video. The spine is our central nervous system. After the spine is unblocked, the body and mind will get a good pressure relief, and the symptoms of low back pain can also be relieved. Next is to clear the gallbladder meridian of the body, help insomnia, light sleep, and ease fatigue problems. Welcome to our full-body stress-relief exercise video before bed. In terms of courses, it is recommended to choose meridian exercise.
Q: My skin is not very good and my complexion is dull. I want to learn about women's maintenance. Which course is more suitable for me?
A: Coach Maggie: I suggest Dr. Li's "Women's Anti-aging Course", from facial meridian scraping, meridian scraping, wrinkle removal, and visceral maintenance, women's ovary, and uterus maintenance and anti-aging.
Q: What can I do to relieve neck pain?
A: Coach Maggie: Daily care is very important, don't wait until you have neck pain or cervical spine problems to start paying attention! Here are instructional videos for daily computer pain relief and cervical spine disease prevention!
Q: What acupoints can be massaged for poor sleep?
A: Coach Maggie: Follow the pressure-lowering ditch behind the ear to the Fengchi point at the back of the head, use acupressure or scraping to relieve pressure, and use pad exercises to soothe the spine.
Q: Can black and white tablets be taken with vitamins? Can men take it?
A: Coach Maggie: Li Natural Healthcare's products are 100% natural herbal extracts, so they are absorbed the same as food. It can be taken with vitamins. Men can take black tablets to help sleep quality at night and the body's detoxification function.
Q: I am prone to spots on my face. Is there any way to lighten and prevent them?
A: Coach Maggie: It is easy to get spots, you need to pay attention to whether you have symptoms before menstruation? For example headaches, mood swings, blood clots during periods, etc? If you have entered menopause, is the syndrome more obvious? This shows that in the case of liver stagnation, first of all, the treatment method of soothing the liver and regulating qi needs to be combined with the exercise conditioning method of soothing and regulating the liver meridian. Suggestions for internal use: female black and white ingot set, soothing and nourishing tea, external treatment: facial meridian scraping to lighten spots, and meridian exercise focusing on liver and gallbladder meridians. Adjustment of daily life: fall asleep before 11 p.m. (time for detoxification of the gallbladder meridian!)
Q: My husband is taking SPINE HEALTH, and his spirit has improved significantly now, and he is not tired all day long. I have low back pain before my period, can I still take it?
A: Coach Maggie: SpineHealth Revive is a purely natural health product that helps to supply sufficient blood to the spine and nourish the kidneys. Low back pain before menstruation can be relieved with health care dosage, because of its effect of promoting blood circulation and removing stasis, the menstrual period will be smoother.
Q: Is hysterectomy surgery, or after menopause, is the black and white subscription still effective?
A: Coach Maggie: Part of the blood supply in the ovaries is endowed by the uterus. After the hysterectomy, the ovaries attached to the uterus will naturally be affected, the blood supply will be insufficient, the ovarian function will be reduced, the secretion of estrogen will be reduced, or it may cause women to have varying degrees of Reproductive lesions, leading to endocrine disorders. The endocrine regulation of the uterus and ovary forms a feedback system with the central nervous system. After a hysterectomy, this feedback link is destroyed, especially when the level of estrogen decreases, it will interfere with the normal secretion and metabolism of central neurotransmitters, which can cause different degrees of anxiety and depression symptoms, such as depression, anxiety, lack of interest, and insomnia. Dreams, memory loss, weakened immune system, and other symptoms.
Women's Day & Night Duo are the basic formula for women's maintenance, suitable for long-term use (you can think of it as a vitamin with herbal ingredients).
People with symptoms can be used for defense and conditioning, and people with symptoms will improve after taking it. If you are in menopause, if you have no symptoms of menopause, it is recommended to take two capsules in the morning and evening for a long time, as a basic maintenance formula for regulating qi and blood and preventing menopausal syndrome.
In addition, the more suitable for menopausal women's nursing regimens include various types of medicated teas:
These are the basics that can be used as our women's daily maintenance. Teabags can also be used as medicinal food bags for stewing soups.

"Smooth meridians" and "balance of qi and blood" are the criteria for judging health in holistic medicine. In other words, the meridians and collaterals are unclogged, helping the viscera systems of the whole body to function normally, with sufficient qi and blood, thereby improving gastrointestinal function, improving human immunity, and improving sleep quality."
According to the relevant data:
When a person reaches the age of 50, the stasis of the meridians and collaterals reaches about 50% (more than half), and the human body begins to age at this time.
At the age of seventy or eighty, the stasis of the meridians and collaterals reaches 70-80%;
But the current trend shows that the meridian blockage is obviously younger, because people because of long-term computer work and mobile phone use, lack of exercise, or incorrect exercise, seriously affect the circulation of the meridian, causing the body to push us all kinds of ⚠️ Warning Red Flag!
Therefore, "keeping the meridians and collaterals unblocked" is the highest principle of TCM health care, emphasizing that the basic purpose of the exercise is to take the concepts of meridian qi and blood circulation, spine health care, and posture habit formation as the basic purpose of the exercise. So as to achieve the goal of exercise self-treatment and health care.

Pollen always makes it impossible to go out and enjoy flowers? Why is there a problem with hay fever?
Chinese medicine believes that the physique of patients with hay fever is characterized by weak external appearance and deficiency of lung qi; the lung controls qi, opens the orifices in the spleen, and externally integrates the skin and fur. The clinical symptoms are mostly respiratory and skin discomfort, sneezing, runny nose, vomiting, conjunctival congestion, redness, itching, nasal congestion, etc. This kind of problem belongs to the problem of "the essence is empty and the standard is real". We should start with the treatment to eliminate the allergic reaction. Therefore, righting the body, consolidating the essence, and exorcising evil spirits are the principles of treatment.
