Four pillars of health.

In Chinese Medicine, there are four pillars of health. Foremost is spirituality/emotions.When the spirit is calm and the heart taken care of, health will persevere. The second pillar is food and nutrition. What we put in our bodies is incredibly important. What our bodies need and do not need affects the function of organs, blood, qi, and essence. The third pillar is herbs, as supplements when nutrition is inadequate. The fourth pillar is acupuncture: an aid in moving the qi and using the body’s own immune system to correct itself. Conventional medicine may be fast acting but it has side effects; acupuncture uses the body’s own immune system to repair itself, it may take longer, but there are no side effects.
