EP 17: Understanding the Balance of Life Through Oriental Medicine with Steve Delvo: Part II
Welcome to the second part of our interview with sage Oriental medicine practitioner Steve Delvo. Today we continue our conversation into the power of Oriental medicine and how it can help us lead balanced and healthy lives. Early in our discussion, we ask Steve when people should use his services. His answers highlight a common medical issue — that many patients only seek help when they feel discomfort, and often not as a preventative measure. We then touch on the history of acupuncture and acupressure before Steve shares a story about how he used cupping to heal a patient — before Steve, they had been struggling with their injury since 1977. A key part of Oriental medicine, we explore how diet impacts your health and energy and, from mucous in our throats to developing IBS, how our bodies give us feedback that tells us to change our diets. Diving deeper into his practice, Steve unpacks the eight pillars of Oriental medicine and explains how having the right attitude is the most significant aspect of the healing process. Near the end of the episode, we reflect on the Oriental method, which favors a holistic and considered approach versus the ‘quick fix’ of going to a Western doctor. Tune in to hear the second part of our fascinating talk with Steve and learn more about how Oriental medicine can impact your life.
