Listen Later

Michelle Smith went from working corporate world working 12-14 hour days and got burnout, galanga fever/ mono, chronic fatigue, didn't have a menstrual cycle, and severe acne. Chinese medicine is the main practice and has so many branches like qi gong, acupuncture, herbal remedies and moxibustion. Discusses the 5 different elements and how to work with them to improve your health and incorporate them in your daily practices. The seasons of your moon cycle. Endometriosis and how severe it can be. Changing the language around periods, "periods sucks" to "I love getting my period" makes a huge difference. Changing the language around pains. A normal period in Chinese medicine would be pain-free, with no clots and bright red color. When we stop accepting the pain in our cycles it trickles into every area of your life. Finding a good Chinese medicine practitioner means making sure they are licensed and generally acu should be pain-free. Remember that you are in control as the patient and never to give your power away to the practitioner/ doctor. How male partners can support their woman during her cycle. Removing shame around their period. Matching your cycle with your yoga practice.
