ADHD in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) ☯🌿

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is understood as an imbalance of Qi (energy), Shen (mind/spirit), and organ dysfunction, mainly involving the Heart, Liver, Spleen, and Kidney systems.

πŸ”Ή TCM Causes of ADHD

1️⃣ Heart & Shen (Mind) Imbalance

In TCM, the heart houses the shen (spirit/mind). When the Heart's Qi is weak, the shen becomes restless, leading to hyperactivity, impulsiveness, and difficulty focusing.

2️⃣ Liver Qi Stagnation & Liver Fire

The Liver controls the smooth flow of Qi and emotions. If Liver Qi is stagnant or transforms into Liver Fire, a child may become easily frustrated, angry, or have emotional outbursts.

3️⃣ Spleen Qi Deficiency & Phlegm Misting the Mind

The Spleen is responsible for digestion and thinking. Weak Spleen Qi leads to Phlegm accumulation, which "mists the mind" and causes brain fog, difficulty concentrating, and restlessness.

4️⃣ Kidney Essence Deficiency

The Kidneys store Jing (Essence), which supports brain development and focus. Kidney Deficiency can contribute to learning difficulties, memory issues, and slow cognitive processing.

Does the high cost of eggs affect any diseases? 🐣πŸ₯šπŸͺΊ #Eggs #EGGprice #Eggcostincrease #Chickenflu #Acupuncture #NewYork #Foresthill

Egg costs have increased dramatically as of February 2025 for several reasons. 1. Bird Flu Outbreak: To stop the virus from spreading, millions of egg-laying hens have been culled due to a serious avian flu outbreak. More egg-producing birds have been sick since January—roughly 14.7 million—than in 2023. As a result, the amount of eggs produced has decreased by 4.5% from the year before.  2. Supply Chain Disruptions: Due to a sharp decline in the number of chickens that lay eggs, there is now more competition among buyers, which has raised prices. New York, the Midwest, and California have all seen increases in wholesale prices to $7.24, $6.84, and $8.35, respectively. Although somewhat lower, retail costs have nevertheless increased significantly. 3. Policy Decisions: The present administration's directives to eliminate more than 100 million chickens to combat avian flu have further reduced egg supplies, which has led to an increase in prices. 4. Trade levies: By upsetting supply ...
