It’s time to heal America. Prevention through proper nutrition and channeling universal energy is the answer to our healthcare quandary. Ancient Eastern Medicine teaches us how turmeric, lemon, ginger, and raw honey boosts the immune system, or how the gut functions as the second brain, with intricate hormonal pathways centered around a thriving microbiome. Eastern practices have paved the way towards holistic health and is finally accepted by the West with functional medicine at its core, looking at the whole person, not just using prescription medications.
Long before we had modern technologies, such as sophisticated MRI machines and blood testing capabilities, ancient healers were mapping the invisible—tracing energy through meridians and balancing yin and yang like master musicians tuning an instrument. Acupuncture, for example, was founded in China approximately 3,000 years ago, with the first documentation in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, dating back to 100 BCE. It was then outlawed in China in 1822 and again in 1929, dismissed as superstition by those turning towards modern medicine. Like America, where Eastern practices only recently gained respect, acupuncture is now covered through insurance. Health isn’t something you buy; it’s something you cultivate, one meal, one breath, one conscious practice at a time.
