The Tupi indigenous people have named a natural phenomenon that provides a perfect description of how nature is directly affected by astronomy. The Prororoca, the great roar, is the creation of a tidal bore
which causes the Amazon River to flow against its current. It is so named due to the loud sound that is made by the ocean and river colliding, causing the largest river in the world to flow against its current. This powerful effect is perpetuated by the moon’s increasing proximity to the Earth, causing the high tide to shift the powerful Amazon upriver. If the human body is approximately 70% water, why would we believe that this atmospheric shift could not affect our internal environment just as it does the great Amazon?
The Earth is in constant change, and so are our bodies. The seasons are crucial to consider as we strive to create harmony for our body through the support of acupuncture. The four pivotal times with the most atmospheric, energetic pulls that occur for the human body in the United States are:
Autumnal equinox: September / October
Winter solstice (low tide): December / January
Vernal equinox: March / April
Summer solstice (high tide): June / July
And, OH! How things can change quickly. Ailments arise like back strain, insomnia, headaches, fast heart rate (tachycardia), anxiety, fainting spells, dizziness, numbness in our limbs when we awake in the morning, jock itch, skin rash, spontaneous sweating or hot flash, nausea/vomit and flaring temperaments of all types! Why do we suffer like this? According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, these symptoms are messages the body sends asking for support.
