Body as Ecosystem

Chinese Medicine expert and host Brodie Welch talks with colleague Joe Moceus, L.Ac., about one of the central principles of Chinese Medicine: the notion that the body is an ecosystem rather than a machine to be fixed.   Like a tree with lots of branches, the same root cause can give rise to a number of very different symptoms.   In this episode, we touch on:  Why Chinese Medicine focuses on patterns of disharmony rather than symptoms  If it's happening in nature, it's happening in us as well  How everything in the body affects everything else  The cycles of 7 and 8 and the phases of our lives  The Imbalance Continuum and the importance of treating beforehand  Brodie's acupuncture orbit  Treating to balance the energy within but also to balance it with our lives.    Resources:  Beinfield and Korngold Between Heaven and Earth  The Basics of Chinese Medicine, with Brodie Welch, L.Ac.   For more information on Chinese Medicine and to stay in touch with Brodie, visit www.brodiewelch.com
