Traditional Chinese Medicine & Self-Care By Ty Johnson
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been preserved and passed on for thousands of years, and techniques and knowledge of the craft have essentially remained unchanged through time. Chinese medicine revolves around the concept of Qi; the vital life force flowing within human beings. Yin and yang represent the opposite and complementary components of our Qi. An alteration in the yin or yang of an individual can lead to the occurrence of disease or illness. However, when our Qi is in balance, total health can be achieved. Jaclyn Schlindwein, licensed Acupuncturist, Eastern Medicine Practitioner, and founder of Magic Moon Medicinals, carries on the traditions of TCM as she works to improve the health and wellness of her patients by revolutionizing holistic self-care. Schlindwein grew up in the Pacific Northwest and established her bond with the earth from a young age. Memories of running barefoot along the edges of the Salish Sea remind Jaclyn of her grounded roots, and she continues her nature-inspired life by working as an environmental educator in the Caribbean and Hawaii. During this time, she also served as a naturalist for Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ambassadors of the Environment program. Following her environmental work, Schlindwein started her journey into the field of Chinese medicine. After receiving her master’s degree from the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, she started her own practice. The mission: advocate for the ultimate happiness, health, and wellbeing of her patients. Face the Current reached out to Schlindwein to discover more about the story of Magic Moon Medicinals.
