This is Part 2 of a series.

Master Yan sent us this: "Depression, Joint Pain, Yellow Skin, Poor Sleep — Actually One Problem You go to the hospital but they can't find anything. Yet the problem is real and present. ------------------------------------------------------- 1. Do You Have These Problems? Joint pain, especially in the tendons and bones — ache here, hurt there. Frequent leg cramps, and varicose veins becoming more noticeable. Yellow skin, no glow, no matter how much you care for it. Severe ha

Two years ago (April, 2024), shortly after getting my Kirlian camera, I took my son to see Master Yan with his 7th kirlian photo: How I would read this photo now differs from what I knew then. Now I can see that his mental health and self-care were not in place, he was coping by dissociating, and he didn't have sufficient hormonal regulation to pump garbage out of his body, and sleep might be a challenge. If he were an adult, and not my child, I would have started trying to r

Most people think of diabetes as a blood sugar problem. RestoreChi and TCM see it differently — and the difference matters because, by the time blood sugar shows up in a test, the body has already been compensating for a long time.

This video shows the many uses for the old RestoreChi Water Card, but when it came to taking a bath, those who carry a lot of “dampness” (congestion, heaviness, recurring inflammation) needed to use 2-4 cards at a time, and feeling better often came at the cost of severe detox symptoms (nausea, dizziness, sweating it out). You would also often see sticky thick yellow discharge on the walls of the bath after draining the water, and you would need to charge your shampoo with th

If you have been recommended to see Master Yan, you may be surprised to hear that you don't have to wait. You can start renting the RestoreChi Specialty Speakers now — or you can wait until Master Yan is in town. This article helps you make that decision. Master Yan visits 3–4 times per year.
