What is 8 Constitution?
When the dynamic of your organs are in harmony, the body is deemed healthy. When a strong organ becomes too strong, and a weak organ becomes too weak, the body fails to maintain its adequate balance, hence sickness follows. Disturbed immune function, malfunction of nervous system, pain and emotional symptom can occur in this unbalanced state.
8 Constitution medicine is a type of immunotherapy which can find the cause of illness through monitoring right/wrong elements in individuals. It aims to restore immune system in balance. It may encourage you to follow constitutional diet, regimens depending on the constitution, in order to treat and prevent disease. Over time, these diets and regimen will convert the body to a balanced state. Any food, medication or treatment that is beneficial for one person may not have the same consequences even they present same problems. Environment, occupation, emotion, type of sports, or other activities affect ones health; and with constitutional difference in between each person, the effect will vary dramatically.
