Feeling Old and Tired? 3 Ways to Fire Up Your Qi

As a licensed, nationally board-certified acupuncturist, I love that 5000-year-old healing practices have an important role in so many modern lives. Another valuable nugget based in ancient Chinese medicine? The idea that everything important begins with one force: qi. Qi (pronounced "chee"), in Chinese medicine, is the life energy driving the Universe--both that outside us and that within us. It is your essence, and it's responsible for your balance and health. Your happiness, peace of mind, and wellbeing all reflect the flow of qi throughout your body and life.
