Traditional Chinese medicine was born
more than 4,000 years ago. It basically consists of the fact
that our energy, also called chi,
is in our body and what
surrounds us. If we manage to maintain the
balance of that energy, we have health,
which is what it's all about. In addition, the
important thing is to prevent before curing,
right? Elena. That's right, Carmen.
Chinese medicine is based on the concept
that chi or energy flows throughout
the body and what surrounds us. So,
whether that flow is in balance or in
harmony depends on our health and
how we strengthen this health. No, that's it.
Yes, there are different therapies with which
we can improve our
health. For example, look,
Chinese medicine
says that all of our energy, this one I was
telling you about, flows through a series of
meridians. There are 14 meridians in the
body. 12 of them are
bilateral. There are points through which
that energy flows to the body, it flows to the
outside. So, in acupuncture,
fine needles are inserted into those
acupuncture points, which
eliminates blockages and restores
blood circulation. That
energetic circulation we talk about acupuncture but we
can also use heat
to improve that circulation and our
health Yes that specific apia is called
moxibustion eh the moxas is the herb
Artemis well pressed or crushed the
pressed comes in the form of cigars and
can be applied on the
acupuncture points or throughout the meridian
and that heat produced by the herb
penetrates very intensely into the meridian
and causes the
correct energy flow to be reestablished Yeah another thing
that we must keep in mind if
we talk about maintaining a balance is to
release toxins that today is also very
fashionable because drinking juices eh
antioxidants and so on for that we
can also use suction cups there are no two
ways can you explain a little what
each one consists of yes eh the suction cups eh
or coping eh They are glasses that are placed
eh And on the skin and they create a
suction cup effect they can be fixed or they can be
mobile eh that can be applied for
example on the back which is the largest area
with a little oil and with the
suction cups Well, directing them
along the back to improve the
lymphatic energy blood flow,
releasing toxins is very, very effective,
and also stress and anxiety. So it not
only helps us with the issue of Well, that
toxin thing, but it also helps us
relax. So today it
is also quite useful, even for insomnia,
anxieties, yes, it can be useful, eh, if
we talk about needles, heat, winds. How not to
include massages in this type of
medicine? No, yes, Chinese massage is an
energetic massage called tuina. They
are a series of maneuvers and
manipulations that are done on the
meridians or on the joints and
muscles and they will
also improve, well, what it is about is improving
the energetic circulation of the
organism. eh, tuina is a very,
very effective technique in children
because the issue of needles in
children is a more complicated issue, they are not
usually used. And then, well, eh, you
can tell the parents yourself
how the therapy is applied and at home they
can apply it themselves. Well,
for colds, asthma or titis, they have
many applications, they can be very
useful and maybe even
fun to be like playing like this To get massages with with the parents with the parents Yes Within these massages we can also use something that is within our reach and they are the plants. What technique do we use the plants in? Well it is phytotherapy eh phytotherapy consists of prescribing a series of
plants that make like a cocktail eh and
that is going to have an effect on the
energy of the organism. The plants have
a certain energy that is
complemented with what you lack.
So, they are very
effective therapies but at the same time eh they have to
be prescribed by a professional of
Chinese medicine because they are very
powerful plants and we have to be careful with which
we get that cocktail of
plants that suits us well. The
same thing that we apply with the plants
can be transferred to food,
right? eh, food has a
certain energy, a certain
nature and a certain flavor eh
depending on how we cook it, it can
alter the energy that we have,
eh if you, for example, have eh a
cold, what I was talking about before, you have a
cold, it is not the same to eat a
cold salad as take that same
salad a little warmer with a
warmer food or or well or
directly a stew that warms you up,
that warms your body and that
helps you with that cold or whatever you
need, it is not the same to eat some
steamed vegetables than to make them in
the oven because the energy increases a lot, it
is a very Cali energy
and it can alter the energy of the
organism just as it is not the same to
eat a stew in the summer than a
salad, the outside temperature has
a lot of influence on your body, on the
inside, also adapting it a little depending on
the temperature and depending on the time, that would
end up talking about breathing,
something that I believe also has a lot of influence
on this state of well-being that
we are talking about and it can be very important in
the techniques of Oriental Medicine yes, the
cornerstone of Chinese medicine
in exercise is chikun, all
exercise is welcome because it will
improve energy but chikun is
a very slow exercise, eh, with a with
a series of exercises
combined with breathing that
reestablishes the correct flow of
energy and it is also an exercise that is
suitable for all ages, from
children to the elderly, we can all
getting in shape and practicing and carrying
out this type of exercises, that's it, and
also emotionally it's very good
because emotions can also
affect our chi, our energy,
not very important, emotions as
important as diet and
exercise, everything, everything that goes through your
mind is reflected in your body. Yeah, well,
thank you very much Elena, I think that
with this it's quite clear to us what
type of techniques we can use or
what type of resources can be
useful to maintain this energy and this
balance that Oriental medicine defends.
Thank you, thank you to [Music]
