Yay! we agree!
& I agree with YOU! I think that knowledge is power, and that that particular link is good because it brings up the "why" of insomnia...
I have had quite a lot of experience with Chinese Medicine. My X went through accupuncture school when we were together so I did learn a lot. I have recieved accupuncture, moxibustion, cupping & herbs. I have administered accupuncture, moxibustion and cupping (no, I'm not licensed).
When I was a kid I had eczema. For years. I was given all kinds of medicines. Nothing worked. Well actually, moving away from my dysfunctional family worked! As an adult, I have had 2 reoccurences, the second when I was with my X. We went to see May Ling, a Chinese doctor in Chinatown in Chicago.
We talked for a while, she took my pulse, looked at my tongue. She told me not to eat fried or spicy foods. or POPCORN! I asked why...popcorn seems so innocuous. She said because of the explosive way that popcorn "becomes"...I found that fascinating.
She also gave me these nasty, horrible, bitter herbs to make into a tea. In 3 days my eczema was gone. That, to me, was miraculous.
So, as you can see I am a huge fan...
You have to find a good practicioner, though.
Peace..I always enjoy reading your posts. You're right on. :)
