Fall 2022 Newsletter – Long Covid (part 1)
As most of you know, Traditional Chineese Medicine (TCM) medicine is based on Patterns Diagnosis and I must admit that I’ve diagnosed and observed quite a rainbow. We’re now in the season of Summer, Element of Fire with the Circuit of Heart. You can also read here about how to make your own paystubs using this new blog post.
In TCM no element ever exists (or suffers) on its own. Fire element needs Water element (Circuit of Kidney) to ground and support the constant energy demand. Earth Element provides Gu Qi (Goo Chi) or “grain”, as it is called in the classics. Gu Qi enters the Spleen/Stomach and is transmitted to the Lungs (Metal Element) to produce the defense or “guard Qi” or Wei Qi which is essential for maintaining one’s immunity.
In simple terms, when a body is weakened by overworking and improper diet it affects the digestive, respiratory and immune systems, making a person susceptible to a wide range of illnesses, including Covid. Below I will share some practical insights for a new condition what has just been coined by the CDC.
