Wheel of Health for 2024 Based on TCM

The Wheel of Health is based on the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Let’s break it down to each month.

January - Preservation
This is the time to nourish the Ying energy in your body. It is a good idea to dress warm outside to prevent a cold/flu. It is important to keep your head, neck, hands, and feet warm in the cold weather.
 
Diet: Eat more foods with a warm nature such as stews and soups. Dark color foods such as black beans, sesame seeds, and chestnuts are very tonic to the kidneys.
 
February – Raise the Yang Energy
 
When everything comes back to life in spring, you should get up early and be physically active. After the beginning of spring, the weather can still be dry, therefore, hydration daily is very important. In early spring, the weather changes drastically, from warm to cold, so you should not take off your winter clothes too quickly, especially the elderly and those with weak immunity should be more conservative and keep warm outside.

Diet: The diet should incorporate some spicy, sweet, and warm foods.  Eat more foods with a sweet nature, such as dates, yams, leeks, spinach, etc. Less sour taste foods such as tomatoes. The sour taste enters the liver and has astringent properties, which is not conducive to boosting the rising of the Yang energy and the release of liver energy. Sun Simiao, the king of Chinese medicine in the Tang Dynasty, said: "In spring, it is better to reduce sourness and increase sweetness to nourish the spleen." Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the spleen and stomach meridians work together. The energy in the liver meridian rises in spring, and excessive energy in the liver meridian can affect the energy flow in the spleen meridian. Therefore, in spring, you should eat more foods with a sweet nature and less sour taste foods, which nourish the spleen meridian. Eat more foods that help release the Yang energy, such as onions, parsley, cilantro, leeks, etc.

What Can Methylene Blue Do to Your Health?

Methylene blue is a synthetic chemical compound in the medical field and other fields. It has been used as a therapeutic medicine for a variety of purposes throughout history. It was first synthesized in 1876 by Heinrich Caro, a German chemist, and was originally used as a dye for textiles. This dye has been used in treating various health conditions and is known for its versatility and effectiveness in its applications. In the early 20th century, methylene blue was used as an antimalarial drug. During World War I, it was used to treat gas gangrene in soldiers. It was also used to treat urinary tract infections and methemoglobinemia, a condition in which the blood cannot carry oxygen effectively.

Methylene blue works by acting as a redox agent, meaning that it can act as both an oxidizing and reducing agent. Depending on the conditions, this allows it to act as an electron donor or acceptor. Methylene blue therapy has also been shown to have a positive effect on the function of mitochondria, which are the energy-producing organelles in cells. By improving the function of mitochondria, methylene blue can help improve the overall cellular health of the body. One of the most well-known uses of methylene blue is for methemoglobinemia, a condition in which the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood is reduced. Methylene blue acts as a reducing agent and helps to convert methemoglobin back to hemoglobin, allowing the blood to carry oxygen more effectively. In addition, methylene blue has also been used to treat cyanide poisoning, as it can help detoxify cyanide and improve the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.

Methylene blue is also used as a diagnostic tool in various medical procedures. For example, it has been used to visualize the urinary tract during cystoscopy and to identify bladder cancer cells. It has also been used to treat conditions such as jaundice in combination with light therapy, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The primary ways that methylene blue benefits the body are its role as a nitric oxide inhibitor and an estrogen antagonist. It helps improve thyroid function and increase the metabolic rate and overall energy production. You may not be aware that REDOX (reduction-oxidation) reactions are vital to the electron transport chain (ETC). The ETC allows mitochondria to pump protons out of the mitochondria and generate ATP. Methylene blue makes REDOX reactions more efficient because it can accept and donate electrons. This increases ATP and energy production.

Here are some amazing health benefits of methylene blue.

• A blood-brain barrier-permeable antioxidant that can cross the blood-brain barrier and act as an antioxidant in the brain.
• Supports mitochondrial functions and boosts energy production.
• Improves memories and helps treat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
• Helps relieve depression, emotional traumas, and PTSD.
• Provides antibacterial and antiviral properties that help treat urinary tract infections and sepsis.

Regarding the dosage of pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue, 0.5–2 milligrams daily per kilogram of body weight is a common dose. Adverse effects of methylene blue can come from chemical impurities, so it’s important to use only pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue. Methylene Blue transforms from an antioxidant to an oxidant at excessive dosages, so less is more with this one. Larger doses may also harm your gut bacteria, and it is not recommended if you have high blood pressure.

7 Golden Pits to Boost Your Health and Detoxification

Did you know that there are seven pits in the body called the Golden Pits in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)? These areas are often located in the conjunction points between joints and tendons. Regular stimulation of these areas with your hands can help detoxify the body, reduce fatigue, release blockage in the meridians, and improve your health in many ways. Let’s dive into it.

The Lumbar Triangle

The lumbar triangles are the two hollows in the waist on the back, located on both sides of the connection between the buttocks and the lumbar vertebrae. The most important place in the lumbar triangle is the "Lumbar Eye Acupoint", which is located right on the lumbar triangle. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the waist on the back is the temple of the kidney meridian, which governs the Qi or energy. Regular massage on the Lumbar Triangle can not only relieve lower back pain but also help regulate menstruation and relieve pain caused by energy blockage in the spine. Especially for people who stay in an environment with A/C all year round, regular massage of the Lumbar Eye Acupoint on both sides of the waist can enhance energy flow in the kidney meridian and prevent arthritis and chronic pain later on.

How to do it? Make fists with both hands, press the Lumbar Eye Spot with your thumb joints, rotate and massage 30-50 times until the spot is sore, then rub this spot on both sides with your palms up and down with moderate pressure, and rub quickly until the waist becomes warm. You can also use your fists to tap the Lumbar Eye Acupoint with light pressure. Repeat the tapping 15-30 times around the lumbar triangle regularly. The best time to perform this exercise is in the evening between 7 pm to 9 pm when the energy is peaking in the kidney meridian.

The Most Important Key for Your Health and Well-being

Research shows that more than 80% of body fat leaves the body through exhalation, which suggests the lungs play a critical role in successful weight loss. Enhanced oxygen generation through breathwork promotes fat burning and the elimination of toxins, which further supports weight loss. Breathwork not only helps burn fat but also increases athletic performance. This is the reason athletes and trainers incorporate various types of breathwork and breathing techniques during their training. Let’s shed light on this from energy medicine, the prana is our life force and we channel this life force through our breath. Death occurs when we stop breathing, but our heart can still pump. Your breath brings oxygen and life force - Prana into your body. When you are physically or emotionally stressed, it affects your breathing patterns. Breathwork is consciously controlling and manipulating our breath for the health improvement and elevation of our consciousness, which has been used for centuries in many ancient traditions. Breathwork helps calm your mind and bring balance, peace, and harmony to your body. Did you know the most powerful medicine to overcome anxiety and depression is breathwork?

Did you know that the number one cause of oral cavity is mouth breathing? It affects the oral microbiome and pH levels in your mouth. Breathing through the nose also prevents dry mouth. Nose breathing can improve the oral microbiome and help increase the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a colorless, odorless gas produced by nearly all types of cells in the body. It is a vital molecule produced in your body that impacts many aspects of your health. It helps blood vessels dilate to promote proper blood flow, other health benefits include improved exercise performance, managing diabetes, lowering blood pressure, and better brain function. It can boost your heart function by making blood platelets less sticky. It also has antiviral and antibacterial properties.

You may not be aware that the breath-holding technique in breathwork increases the production of mitochondria. Which is the fountain of youth and the source of energy for the body.

Let’s talk about the benefits of emotional well-being. Breathwork helps nurture your soul at a deeper level and provides emotional balance and resilience. Regular breathwork practice can help you stay grounded, motivated, focused, and overcome challenges in life.

Now it is time to dive into the ancient techniques of breathwork and their amazing health benefits, please check my recent video.

The Connection of Emotional Traumas and Toxins

Most emotional traumas are likely linked to past lives, for example, if you suffered from emotional trauma related to being betrayed and abandoned by someone, very likely there was a karmic connection with that person from the past life and this can be revealed from the division charts in Vedic Astrology or age regression from a hypnosis session. The current life is the continuation of a past life, often we are too focused on the current life without diving deep into what might have occurred in the past life especially when we are conditioned to this evidence-based environment with the limited application of our five senses. But there are more than five senses, what about our intuition? Believing is seeing! Which is a revolutionary way to reprogram our thinking patterns and belief system.

Trauma is not what happens to you but what happens inside you. All the traumas affect you long after the traumatic events ended because the energetic imprint of trauma remains in your body and energy field until you are able to release, heal, and move on.

Fascia is made of collagen Nano-tubule helix and elastin; it is an information network that channels consciousness throughout the body. Fascia stores cellular memories including past lives. Fascia communicates through vibrations and it is associated with meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Meridians are like highways for the energy to run up and down in the body. Emotions have electromagnetic fields. Did you know that emotional traumas draw more toxins into the tissues? Which means toxins can accumulate in our body due to emotional traumas. Fascia is also interconnected with the lymphatic system, this is why lymphatic drainage can help release emotional traumas that are stuck in the fascia and meridians. What about the scars? Which are often related to traumatic events in our life, the trauma imprint can be trapped in the scars after the traumatic event. Scars intersect and disrupt the lymph flow, which contributes to lymphatic congestion. Scars are considered energetic blockages in the body, which can draw more toxins to that area. For example, C-section for women can not only affect their gut health and immunity but also leave a physical and emotional imprint on the body. 

The ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine treats the body as a whole and focuses on the energy flow in the body. Skin scraping is an ancient technique from TCM to help release emotional traumas and physical pains in the body. It not only promotes lymphatic flow to support the detoxification process in the body but also helps the body heal at the emotional and physical levels. Very often, we focused on the liver detox but overlooked the importance of lymphatic drainage. Your liver and lymphatic system work very closely together to help remove toxins from the body. When toxins are stuck in your lymphatic system, they trap more water in your lymph flow, which can manifest as stubborn weight gain, this is lymphedema in disguise. Now, let’s add the emotional traumas into the picture regarding weight gain. From energy medicine, weight gain is caused by layers of emotional baggage we have unconsciously carried. From Western medicine, we do have evidence of why emotional traumas contribute to weight gain because they trap more toxins in your fascia and lymphatic system. Let’s look into unique ways to release these emotional traumas that have been stuck in our bodies and energy fields. A good lymphatic drainage can help release emotional traumas especially when it combines with the ancient techniques to work both on the fascia and meridian system.
