Is Chocolate Healthy for You?  What You Need to Know!

There aren't too many people that I know that don't like, or even crave chocolate. Why is this so?  Simply, chocolate contains certain chemicals that are known to improve mood, but research also shows chocolate to have many important health benefits.
The Heart of Chinese Medicine

In the Chinese medicine of centuries past, there is no such thing as a broken heart; it is simply impossible.

It is a weighty privilege to share a piece of Acupuncture theory that I am rarely able to speak about in the treatment room, but is quite literally at the center of the tradition.
The Heart is Emperor: Clear the Mind

In Chinese medical theory, summer is related to the heart, the emotion joy, the sound of laughter, the ability to sleep, and the function of speech and memory.

In western medicine we understand the function of the heart to be related to pumping the blood to supply the body with nutrients and oxygen.
