Eat to calm anxiety
There are several Chinese medicine syndromes that cause anxiety and the one I see most frequently in my clinic is Heart Blood Xu. If you have Heart Blood Xu, making a few simple changes to the way you eat and what you eat can make a big difference. Follow the advice below and you'll notice a change within 2 or 3 weeks. How to eat Eat in a relaxed environment Take a short rest after eating Eat slowly and chew your food well Steam, boil, stew or stir-fry your food Eat raw fruit

Personality test: How hot is your Fire?
According to Chinese medicine, there are five aspects to our mental-emotional world. These are often called the Five Elements. Each Element influences how we think, feel and relate to the world in a different way. The Fire Element enables us to feel joy and love, to give and receive warmth, to be close to people when it is appropriate, and to keep our distance when we need to. Take the test and find out how balanced your Fire Element is.
