As the child of a middle-class working family, “There is no free lunch—you need to work extremely hard to earn your living” was deeply ingrained in my brain from an early age. So when I embarked on a career after university, I spared no ounce of energy, performing my utmost.
There was extensive long distance travel, last-minute urgent work assignments, sleepless nights because of work-related pressures. Of course, this relentless lifestyle began to affect my health.
Two years ago my menstrual cycles were haphazard. When I did have a period, it was problematic at best. None of this should have been happening to a 32 year old, but it was.
So I went for a physical and was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome). PCOS led to a horrible hormone imbalance. My periods became so irregular that I began to experience none at all. To all intents and purposes, I was entering menopause!
Naturally, I started seeking the advice of specialists in the field. Most told me PCOS is very common these days, with the frantic lifestyles most women lead. The physician said I could take medicine to force my period, but I didn’t want to have to rely on medicine to regulate what should have been a natural process.
That’s when I recognized the full import of the phrase, “Health is Wealth.”
I knew something was wrong with my body. I began to read and research extensively about nutrition, toxins, traditional Chinese medicine, and folk therapy in China.
During my research, I found information about the “Yao”(瑶族)，a tribe in China. The Yao have a habit of taking a botanticals-based bath every day after working hard on their farms. What amazed me was that the women from the Yao Zhu tribe do not suffer ANY (zip, zero!) gynecological problems at all!
I made changes to my diet to incorporate nutrient-rich foods, became more disciplined in my lifestyle (taking quality rest hours, incorporating exercise into my daily routine, avoiding alcohol as much as possible, and soaking my legs in warm water every night, etc.). I also take a botanicals-based bath twice a week. With this new regimen, my body slowly regained its strength and my period cycle returned to normal.
I realize now how amazing all this has been. By ensuring the smooth flow of primary and collateral energy channels (经络) in our bodies and the effectiveness of acupuncture points (穴位), it is absolutely possible to achieve (or reclaim) a robust, vibrant body.
In this blog, I will share the lifestyle changes I have made, along with DIY Traditional Chinese treatments. I hope you will bookmark this page and follow me. And if you have any friends suffering from irregular periods or a high-stress existence, I hope you will share my blog with them. The more the merrier. I mustn’t keep these amazing discoveries to myself. So many women are experiencing the same maladies. It’s time for all that to END!
