Find-out Your Body Type

 After complete history and comprehensive physical assessment, your body

type will be diagnosed on your first visit. You will also be provided with the 

list of beneficial vs harmful diet; exercise; and etc.

 

What is 8 Body Type (8 Constitution)? 

Long period of studies and research have  shown that human beings can

be categorized  into 8 body type and according  to each 

constitution, they will have different diet,  different way of exercise and 

treatment.

The constitutions are the different patterns of organ relations and they are

grouped into 8.  Everyone is born with a certain constitution out of 8 

possible patterns.  It is one's own physiological destiny designed by God 

even before one is born.  If one lives a life as the way he is created, he will

remain healthy.  If one does not, he will suffer.  To know one's own 

constitution is the KEY to one's own well being.


We all sense that everyone is born different. 

Consider food for an example.  One person drinks a glass of milk and feels

a boost of energy yet another may head straight to the toilet with diarrhea. 

One person feels much better when they avoid eating meat; another feels

so weak that they can't function well if he tries to be a vegetarian.   

Another example is with the drug.  When penicillin was first introduced, it

was praised as a gift from God.  Yet people came to realize later on that

penicillin could potentially be as fatal as poison for some people.   This is

due to difference in constitution.  Certain drugs may be effective only for

certain constitution but not for all.

Why?  The answer is simple: We are born different.


Pathophysiology of 8 Body Type Medicine

People are not created equal.  We all have  distinct personalities and 

preferences as we  all have different blood types, fingerprints and

genes.  "Eight constitution medicine" explains  that it is because the 

characteristics of the  elements that constitute our body are different.

There are ten major organs in our body which are composed of 5 solid

and 5 hollow organs and they are responsible for the healthy function of

the entire organism.  The five solid organs are: heart, lung, liver,

pancreas, and kidney.  The five hollow organs are: stomach, small

intestine, large intestine, bladder, and gallbladder.

All of these organs have some visible anatomy and physiology.  However,

there are the INVISIBLE functions of these organs which we cannot see

through anatomy.  Each organ produces, stores, and distributes its own

unique vital life FORCE (Chinese culture calls it Qi).  A heart not only

produces the vital life force with the dynamics of fire but also distributes

the force of fire to all the other nine organs through meridians.  Meridians

are the invisible pathways through which the force can flow.  A kidney

produces and distributes the force with the dynamics of water, a liver with

the dynamics of wood, a pancreas with the dynamics of earth, and a lung

with the dynamics of metal. 

When the ten major organs are functioning properly in relation to each

other as they are constitutionally designed to do, the person feels well. 

However, when the natural harmony between organs loses its proper

balance, the person does not feel well.  The pathology is not in the organ,

but in between the organs.  Often patients go through several expensive

lab tests in the hospital only to be informed that nothing is wrong with their

organs.  The real pathology resides in the invisible space between the

organs (meridians).  Even when the organ itself shows definite pathology

such as an ulcer, the pathophysiology of the ulcer is not in the organ. 

It is really sad to see how many people must take multiple medications a

day for the rest of their lives!  The true holistic healing must heal the

relationship between each of the ten major organs. 


Etiology of 8 Body Type Medicine

What causes this disharmony between  the organs which was in proper 

harmony  when we  were born?  People do not live  the life as they should! 

They eat the wrong  food; pursue the wrong career; live in the  wrong 

housing; take bath the wrong way; etc.... 

The ignorance of one's own constitution will lead to a life style that

eventually causes the disharmony between the organs. 

The wrong diet is so far the major etiology of 8 constitution medicine. 

Every food has its own unique FORCE.  If we eat certain foods for a long

time, the particular FORCE of that food will increase the physiological

function of a certain organ whose FORCE it is identical with.

Take someone with Pulmotonia Constitution for an example.  He is born

with lungs that should produce about 100 watts (as a figure of speech) of

metal Force and normal people need only 50 watts of Force.  Then, we

can assume his lung is far stronger (or active) than other people.  For this

reason, he will make a good singer, a swimmer, a good doctor, and a

scientist.  But if he grows up in a dairy farm house, eating lots of red meat

and dairy products for years and years, the Force of his lung will go way

over 100 watts.  If his lung Force is around 140 watts, he will suffer from

frequent cough, asthma, and irregular bowel movements.  If it goes over

300 watts, he can even develop colon cancer.  This is why proper dietary

instructions are considered the most critical for patients at  8+1

Acupuncture Clinic. 


Treatments - 8 Body Type  Acupuncture

The best way to correct the disharmony between organs is to use 

acupuncture (8 constitutional acupuncture), regulating the five element 

points of each meridian of the ten major organs.  General acupuncture

points are not used since they do not have a direct command of the organ 

Force.  Herbs can be used for the preventative purpose. 

After patients are treated, they are instructed to live their lives according to

their own physiological destiny (constitution). 

If you eat right according to your constitution, you will maintain optimal

health.  If not, you will not only become weak but even your health can be

seriously deteriorated.  Foods not only function as daily source of energy

but what you eat constitutes you and build up your immune system. 

Foods according to your own constitution will strengthen your natural

healing power (immune system) which will protect us against all kinds of

disease, but foods harmful to our constitution will weaken our natural

healing power and make us susceptible to disease.  

This is the reason why you need to know your own Body-Type.
