In this article, I'm going to describe my life path until becoming a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
My life before discovering traditional Chinese medicine
I come from an IT vocational degree (BTS). I worked for many years in this sector. The IT profession has plenty of advantages. When we're young and motivated, it's very easy to find a job, with a correct salary. In my career, I never experienced unemployment, but that doesn't erase the bad sides.
For ten years, my life boiled down to:
- Working in companies, on computers. The IT world is ultimately quite dehumanized. Everything has to work at all costs, otherwise it's thousands of euros of losses for the company. You have to be fast. There's little human contact. And then a computer, when it doesn't want to work anymore, it won't work. Machines are stubborn, annoying, stressful.
- I did a lot of sport to relieve the stress of work and escape my personal problems. Ah, rollerblading, my favorite sport! On them, I felt so free.
- And of course, I went out regularly, drinking more than was reasonable.
- The last point was my diet, which wasn't healthy.
All of that wasn't good for my health, really not, but I didn't necessarily realize it. I was young, in apparent great shape. What could possibly happen to me?
The hepatitis
After a big workout, I fainted. I was taken to the emergency room, where I stayed for several days.
When you find yourself in hospital at 29 for a liver problem, you tend to ask yourself questions about your lifestyle.
My illness being of viral origin, the doctor couldn't offer me any medicinal treatment.
So I found myself for long weeks dealing with great fatigue and abdominal pain, with as only option a fat-free diet.
The discovery of traditional Chinese medicine
After several weeks in this state, without really getting better, I received the advice to go see a trusted traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
An acupuncture practitioner? I had vaguely heard about it and didn't understand how simple needles could bring me well-being when the hospital doctors hadn't been able to help me more.
Having no other choice, I made the decision to try this approach I didn't know.
From the very first session, I felt much better. After a few sessions, the pain had become anecdotal. And I was able to start eating almost normally again.
That's how I discovered traditional Chinese medicine.
Career change
I'm naturally curious. After this experience, I really wanted to understand how it works. How, with simple needles, it's possible to soothe so many physical tensions?
That's where my desire to change careers was born. That's also where my desire was born to pass on to others what was passed on to me.
So I propose to you, through this blog, to discover an age-old way of thinking that I'll try to make accessible to as many people as possible.
