Stagnation Diet
Feel like you’re stuck in that proverbial rut, spinning your wheels, and watching life pass you by?
Well, we’re here to tell you that this rut is not proverbial at all. Qi stagnation is very real, and that sense of being stuck is only slightly more pleasant than banging your head against a wall.
Maybe you feel like there’s something sticky on the bottom of your shoe that’s slowing you down in work, love, or money.
In Chinese Medicine, Qi stagnation is a constriction or suppression of emotional and creative energy. We stifle our sense of self and try to be who we think others want us to be. This may start with early trauma, but eventually it becomes a self-generating pattern. In other words, holding stuff in gets you — and your Qi — stuck.
You may benefit from the Stagnation Diet if you experience one or more of the following:
Frustration
Feeling stuck
Irritability
Depression
Anxiety
Muscle pain and tension
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Hormonal imbalance
Abdominal and menstrual cramping
Tender breasts
Headaches
A lump in your throat
Give yourself a pat on the back. You’re here to choose the foods that will increase your body’s energy, balance your emotions and clear your mind. Welcome to your gut-brain connection.
We’ll set you up with foods that’ll lighten you up and get your Qi moving again so you can reclaim your most gorgeous, juicy self.
