Sleep is an extremely important time for the body to heal and repair itself. Trouble sleeping can not only mess you up the next day, but in the long run, insomnia can weaken your system, and make you especially vulnerable to stresses and illness.
Chinese Medicine recognizes many causes of insomnia, and a common one is what we call “Blood Deficiency.” I’d like to explain Blood Deficiency, and share a very simple recipe you can use to build your Blood.
Large scars can come from any kind of trauma: accidents, injuries, surgeries, c-sections, etc. In Chinese Medicine, we recognize subtle energy channels, and large scars may affect how energy moves through the area. The c-section is especially problematic, as the incision typically cuts through multiple major meridians. Most people think the scars they have will never go away, but that doesn’t have to be true.
