Episode 3: Syndemic Model for Complicated Disease, Damp as a Syndemic 'Biosocial' Factor, Learning to Treat Trauma with Needles, & Adjusting to Shifting Seasons with "Autumn Begins" Solar Term
During this week's episode, we begin looking at a paper to learn what the 'syndemics' model of disease is, why it reminds us of East Asian medical approaches and perspectives, and how the concept of "Damp" might be a valued concept to include in addressing complex 'biosocial' complexes of disease formation and complication. We follow up by talking about the challenges of identifying with 'Chinese Medicine' in a politically complicated time, the value of building trust between doctor and patient, and how acupuncture can be a type of exposure-therapy to therapeutic 'trauma' or discomfort. We end the discussion by focusing on the current solar term named "Autumn Begins", which marks a clear transition from Summer to Autumn and comes with a list of ways (including a soup like this) to offset Damp-Heat conditions in the weather/climate and how to prepare mentally for the arrival of Winter.
