Recovery is non-linear. I like to remind my patients that their symptoms, especially if they have been chronic, may get worse before they get better and this is completely normal. Some weeks may feel like a drastic improvement while others may feel like you are back at square one…but when we take a look at the big picture, you ARE making strides. There is no such thing as living in “perfect health” because our bodies are dynamic beings - ebbing & flowing in & out of balance. Chinese medicine meets the body right where it is to harmonize its’s physiological and emotional functions. Healing naturally takes time, so be gentle with yourself through the process.
