3. Herbal remedies: Use herbal supplements or teas that align with your constitution type to support your health and well-being.
4. Acupuncture and tuina: Consider acupuncture and tuina (massage) treatments from a licensed TCM practitioner to balance your energies.
5. Stress management: Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, yoga, or qigong to manage stress and maintain balance.
6. Exercise wisely: Choose exercises that suit your constitution type, such as gentle stretches for a delicate constitution or more intense workouts for a robust constitution.
7. Monitor and adjust: Regularly assess your health and adjust your habits and treatments as needed to maintain balance and prevent imbalances.
8. Consult a TCM practitioner: Schedule regular check-ins with a licensed TCM practitioner to monitor your progress and receive personalized guidance.
