Understanding Your Body Constitution in TCM

Traditional Chinese Medicine identifies 9 body constitutions — from Qi-deficient to Phlegm-damp to Yin-deficient. Knowing yours changes everything: what you eat, when you sleep, how you exercise. I took a constitution assessment last year and discovered I'm Yang-deficient. Since adjusting my diet (more warming foods, less raw salad) my energy has noticeably improved. Consult a licensed TCM practitioner for a proper assessment.
