Attention is paid to factors like diet, stress, sleep quality, digestion, energy, and other aspects thought to the nervous system function.
Further assessment focuses on environmental influences. This may include the type of work performed, exposure to cold or air conditioning, seasonal changes, emotional stress, and other daily influences that may place stress on the nervous system.
By understanding both the internal health of the body and the external factors affecting it, Chinese medicine aims to identify how the body became vulnerable and how the meridian system can support recovery and restore balance.
