According to the CDC, in 2023, 24.3% of adults had chronic pain. In this engaging talk, Dr. Julia Lee will discuss natural reasons why the body manifests pain, what the healing process for pain may look like, strategies to cope with pain during the healing process, and beneficial attitudes that support pain relief. Some common areas of pain (such as knee, lower back, shoulder, neck, headache) will be discussed from the perspective of meridians running through those areas, as well as organs that pain can be referred from. This talk is also suitable for caregivers and family members of those with chronic pain, to learn more about how to communicate with and support loved ones going through pain.

This program is part of the Santa Clara County Library District's celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month.

Just as our bodies can heal naturally from physical cuts and wounds, Chinese medicine teaches that our integrated bodymind systems have the capacity to heal naturally from life’s challenging experiences. We will discuss foundational concepts of natural healing and practice some basic breathing and mindfulness exercises together. The talk will include information on reducing risks of some common diseases.
