Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), also known as “spastic colon,” is a common disorder that affects the digestive system and causes disruptive symptoms. Many of these symptoms can be managed through diet, lifestyle changes, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including acupuncture and herbal remedies. 

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the organs are more than just physical structures; they have emotional, spiritual, and elemental attributes that align with nature and the seasons. The heart, associated with the Fire element, governs circulation, mental clarity, and emotional well-being. 

The modern world is changing rapidly, forcing our bodies to adapt constantly. Our food supply is increasingly depleted of essential nutrients, and our soil and water are contaminated with antibiotics and harmful fertilizers. These contaminants enter the food chain, leading to weakened immune systems, antibiotic resistance, and the rise of superbugs like MRSA. Poor nutrition and excessive antibiotic use significantly impact intestinal health. However, there are ways to maintain a healthy gut and overall well-being. 

Moxibustion is a powerful healing technique in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) that involves burning mugwort (moxa) to stimulate Qi flow, strengthen blood circulation, and enhance overall health. 

Types of Moxibustion: 

• Direct Moxibustion: Moxa is placed on acupuncture points and burned, with scarring (intense) or non-scarring (gentler) techniques. 

• Indirect Moxibustion: Moxa is held near the skin for a warming effect, often combined with acupuncture. 

Did you wake up unable to turn your head without experiencing pain? Do you feel stiffness in your neck? A stiff neck is a condition that typically develops when the head and neck muscles remain fixed for extended periods, possibly due to an awkward sleeping position. However, it is becoming increasingly common among youth and middle-aged individuals who spend long hours working on laptops in air-conditioned environments. 

From the Rainbow TCM perspective, cervical stiffness is often caused by the pathogenic factor of cold, which blocks blood circulation and results in pain. Rather than suffering, here are some quick remedies to alleviate discomfort: 

Depression and anxiety occur when the emotional body signals that certain emotions must be recognised, felt, and ultimately released. These emotions come up to the surface to get our attention. The body goes through fight and flight mode and perceives those emotions as threats. The stress hormone- cortisol is released. When excessive cortisol is released into the bloodstream through our digestive wall, the body may experience nervousness, nausea, rushing energy, and stomach ache accompanied by diarrhea, constipation, bloating, and headache on the temple, forehead, or top of the head.  

All of us can focus and move our attention around different parts of our bodies. And although this practice may be effortless, it also has the potential to be highly healing. Many times, what is important is what we ignore because it is the simplest.

When we move our attention and consciousness through meditation, we proceed with subtle energies almost invisible in our bodies. With that flow of energy that we move consciously, we invite the dissolution of blockages.
