Скачать или смотреть TCM TREATMENT PRINCIPLES FOR BIPOLAR DISORDER

The patterns of disharmony guide us toward treatment principles to help resolve symptoms and even cultivate a deeper state of healing. Interestingly, diet is extremely important here as it is a primary cause of phlegm. A more severe and concentrated form of Dampness, phlegm has a destructive effect on the flow of Qi, but can be mitigated by avoiding excess sugar, dairy, and fried or fatty foods, as well as being present and calm during mealtimes. Following a TCM pro-metabolic dietary framework would also help prevent Dampness and phlegm. A comprehensive treatment protocol would also entail moving Qi, nourishing the Heart and Spleen, draining excess Fire, nourishing Yin, invigorating the Blood, and calming the Mind. Of course, acupuncture, Chinese herbs, diet and lifestyle adjustments, and meditation and movement can all help the body return to balance—especially when guided by a doctor of TCM.
