The chinese way

Recovering from health problems can be helped by doctors and treatments - but all over the world you will find different ways of doing so. In Berlin, we have the center of traditional chinese medicine at Charité, in old St. Hedwig Hospital in formally jewish Spandauer Vorstadt.
My collegue Doris had told me a lot about it since months, they had helped her fight her allergies. So when I was told I was suffering from allergies myself, I called them and asked for an appointnment.
I was lucky, they asked me to come the very same day, and since then I'm being treated with acupuncture and eating according to their advices. I'm supposed to strengthen my middle by eaten hot or warm food, spiced up with lots of ginger, millet and oats for breakfast, chicken broth ever so often.
My sinusitis is better already, and some head aches vanished the very hour I was lying in one of their rooms with needles in my arms, legs and ears. Quite relaxing, really.
A few more appointments, and my body should be strengthened enough to go on without the weekly treatment. :)
