Sally Abrams Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

In Chinese medicine, while some disease is caused by external factors, the primary cause of the disease is our emotions. Western medicine has come into agreement with one simple word – stress. You are more likely to contract a major illness, such as cancer, during times of high stress, whether the stress is from a good event such as marriage or the birth of a child, or a “bad” event such as being fired or the death of a loved one.
