SPRING is in the air… The time of regeneration, new beginnings!
Ideal for cleansing.

In the Traditional Chinese Medicine each season has its own unique set of properties. So is the Spring associated with the Wood element, the element that governs the liver and the gallbladder. And these are the organs (and energetic pathways) that regulate a smooth flow of energy throughout the body.

Spring by Q.Health is the time for Body Detox & Relaxation
• Cupping (lymphatic drainage) massage
• (Liver) castor oil pack
And of course,
• Acupuncture
Aiming to help to restore a general mental and physical balance, a relaxation… from where the body is again able to regulate itself.

Springtime with Spring prices!
Now, temporarily:
• Intake & first acupuncture treatment (75 min) € 80
• Follow-up acupuncture treatment € 60
• Cupping (lymphatic drainage) massage (30 min) € 25
• (Liver) castor oil pack (30 min) € 25

Be most welcome!

LENTE (kriebels)... De tijd van regeneratie, een nieuw begin!
Ideaal voor het reinigen.

In de Traditionele Chinese Geneeskunde heeft elk seizoen zijn eigen unieke eigenschappen. Zo wordt de lente geassocieerd met het Hout element, het element dat de lever en de galblaas regelt. En dit zijn de organen (en energetische paden) die een soepele stroom van energie door het lichaam reguleren.

Lente bij Q.Health is de tijd voor Body Detox & Ontspanning
• Cupping (lymfedrainage) massage
• (Lever) castorolie pakking
En natuurlijk,
• Acupunctuur
Met als doel een algemeen mentaal en fysiek evenwicht te creëren/herstellen, en ontspanning… van waaruit het lichaam weer in staat is zichzelf te reguleren.

Lente met Lenteprijzen!
Nu tijdelijk:
Intake & eerste acupunctuurbehandeling (75 min) € 80
Vervolg acupunctuurbehandeling (45 min) € 60
(Liver) castorolie pakking (30 min) € 25
Cupping (lymfedrainage) massage (30 min) € 25

Van harte welkom!

TCM/Acupuncture: The four pillars of diagnosis (cont.)

Today I will talk about ‘The Ten Questions’.

Sometimes the client presents the symptoms even before I ask about them, other times I need to get the answers by asking question by question (which is totally alright!), and sometimes clients hurry in and they want the whole thing done as quickly as possible;) It gives me so much pleasure to see them relaxing as the treatments progress, and many times having this little 'acupuncture-nap' while under the needles. Marvelous!
So, many times, I will do the first treatments oriented to relaxation before to attend to some specific issue. Besides, I totally believe in relaxation. UNSTRESSING! Many of our diseases are stress-related answers from our body. In TCM/Acupuncture terms: sickness is a disbalance between Yin and Yang.

Well then, The Ten Questions.
The ten questions will, together with the other three pillars of diagnosis, help us to form a holistic view of the client’s (physical and mental) imbalances.
The ten questions are in fact ten themes, each with several sub-questions, which range in subject from the patient’s sleeping habits to their medical history.
We will ask if the client, for instance, feels cold or hot, when the client sweats whether it is a spontaneous daytime sweat, a night sweat... Each of this variants will lead to different diagnosis: Qi or Yang deficiency, Yin deficiency, etc.. Then different treatments will be required, accordingly. We will ask about the headaches: dull pain will indicate a deficiency condition, pain that feels ‘heavy’ a Damp condition, the frontal headache will be related to the Yang Ming meridians, the occipital..., each kind of pain will give different indications. And there are two very important questions as well and nobody is really used to them, and they are about the urine and the stools. People normally don’t watch what they do down there;), and it is also not an easy subject to talk about, as we know from the Psychology.

Let me tell you here a short story on that subject.
Dr. John Kellogg, who invented the cereal, was an integrative medicine doctor avant la lettre, who wanted to reform the medical concepts of his (and our) century and replace them by a preoccupation in healing body, mind, and soul.
In his medical spa, the “Battle Creek Sanitarium”, cereals were served as a meal, and he swore by it. That would lead to a healthy gut and consequently to a certain shape, consistency and smell of the stools. Then to show his patients what was meant by 'good stools' he would, so proudly, walk around showing his own results;).

Well, luckily the stool and urine are not the only indicators nor are the ten questions the only pillar of diagnosis.
We are oceans of information, and every wave will tell a part of the whole story! And remember, our story is not unique; It’s a collective human story disguised as something personal.
