Emotions can be complex 🤔 but working through them doesn't have to be! Many times the answer involves engaging in activities that stimulate the release of dopamine in the brain 🧠, promoting feelings of pleasure, motivation, and reward. 🏆

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in how we experience pleasure and maintain motivation. Choosing activities that provide positive 📈, healthy dopamine boosts, rather than quick-fix sources 📉 like social media or junk food, builds healthier habits, boosts your mood, and improves your overall well-being.

In Chinese medicine, emotions and organs are deeply interconnected. 👤 Each organ is associated with specific emotions, and an imbalance in one can affect the other. Emotions are narrowed down to 5️⃣ basic feelings and are associated with an organ system in the body:

😤Anger with the liver
😱Fear with the kidneys
😊Joy with the heart
😭Sadness and grief with the lungs
😨Worry with the spleen

Maintaining emotional balance is crucial for the health of the corresponding organs, and vice versa. Practices like acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary adjustments, and qigong are often used to restore harmony between the emotions and the organs in the body.

Cold and flu season 🤧 has arrived, making it the perfect time to stock up on herbs 🌱 that support and strengthen your immune system!

Many herbs contain natural compounds that can enhance the body’s defense mechanisms. 💪 Herbs are a natural source of antioxidants✔️, have anti-inflammatory properties✔️, and provide antibacterial effects✔️. They are nutrient-rich, containing essential vitamins and minerals as well as adaptogens.

Using herbs is often part of a holistic approach to health, focusing on prevention and overall well-being rather than just treating symptoms. Compared to synthetic drugs 💊, they are considered gentler with fewer side effects. They have a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, like Chinese medicine, for enhancing immune function and overall health. 🏥

〰️Cupping Therapy〰️ is an ancient practice, rooted in Chinese medicine, that involves placing specialized cups on the skin to create suction. Check out just a few of the many benefits of cupping:

✨Boost Circulation: By increasing blood flow to the affected areas, cupping helps speed up muscle recovery and reduce pain.
✨Reduce Inflammation: The suction reduces inflammation, aiding in faster healing of injuries and chronic conditions.
✨Detox the Body: Cupping draws out toxins from the body, encouraging natural detoxification and boosting overall health.
✨Promote Relaxation & Reduces Stress: The soothing effect of cupping can reduce anxiety, helping both body and mind relax.

🙋🏽‍♀️Interested in trying cupping? - Make an appointment at one of the on-site clinics at our Chicago, New York, or San Diego campus locations! - https://www.pacificcollege.edu/patients
