Six Signs of Good Health

One of the most common questions patients are concerned about: "When will I finish the course of treatment? Or how long will I carry on the treatment?" The practitioner of acupuncture often fails to reply it; the answer lies with patients themselves.

The goal of an acupuncture and Chinese medicine treatment is not only to relieve your symptoms, but help you to restore the balance of energy flow and thus good health. When the six signs of good health appear, our mission is accomplished and your treatment is finished. Watch out for them:

1. Sleep well: Sleep all night through and feeling refreshed when you wake up in the morning.

2. Eat well: A good appetite at meal times and satisfied with a regular amount of food. Poor appetite, bloating after meals and craving of sweet and sugar are the warning of a sluggish digestive energy.
3. Have a bowel movement the first thing in the morning and the bowel should feel emptied thoroughly when the job is done.
4. Good urination. The first urine in the morning should be a large quantity, light yellow colour. Urinate 5-6 times throughout the day by drinking an average amount of water. There a good force for passing urine.
5. Hands and feet are naturally warm; face and body are generally cool, no matter whether you live in Dubai or Alaska. Cold or clammy hands and feet, or uncomfortable warmth of the body and face means unbalanced energy flow and poor circulation.
6. Yang sign, probably the least discussed topics in public, indicates abundant energy flow in the body. For men, often called the "morning glory", is a natural erection at waking up. For women, more tenderness of the nipple of women should be noticed in the morning.
