easily.\" \"I sleep badly and my skin is dry.\" \"Stiff shoulders, period pain and a low mood that will not lift.\"<br>Does any of that sound familiar?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It may come down to <strong>your constitution leaning one way<\/strong> inside you.<br>Not enough to take to a doctor, but left alone it carries on.<br>The yakuzen constitution check is there to sit quietly alongside signals like these, in the grey area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese medicine holds that constitution lies underneath how you feel.<br>Which is exactly why knowing your own constitution is the first step in daily care and in settling how you eat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\\ Free to take \/<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p

bulb, egg, strawberry and the like)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blood stasis type<\/strong>: warm vegetables that get the blood moving (eggplant, vinegar, pak choi and the like)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Qi depression type<\/strong>: aromatic ingredients and herbs that move qi (onion, citrus)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Phlegm-damp type<\/strong> vegetables that drain
