The significance of acidity in our diet is one of the primary reasons why the body has stagnant lactic acid permeating throughout your entire system, which is what slows and redirects the natural flow of circulation. This might not seem like a big deal to most, in fact many have made mention that it was their belief that lactic acid in your body was normal. Yup, definitely normal. But unfortunately, while normal, it is extremely detrimental to your overall health, and most of all; it's not natural. This lactic acid is what gets into your joints, muscles, and connective tissue, changing the overall circulation in your body, thus causing numerous ailments that are felt by the everyday person. Anything from tension in muscles around your neck, shoulders, and back, to Migraines and Tendinitis are all symptoms of issues that are the end result of poor circulation due to lactic acid.
Having our body in a state of increased acidosis is not a natural occurrence but all too normal, thus because it is not recognized by general Western Practices as being an issue, normal problems in the body are diagnosed as separate issues all together. Back Pain for example is diagnosed as muscle tension in/around the Erector Spinae Group, commonly known as the ESG's. Treatment methods for this ailment ranges, but it is general thought that to fix this issue, you must balance the tension in these muscles by strengthening the abdominal muscles. This doesn't address the real reasons why the muscle are "tight" in the first place. The muscles in the back literally have too much circulation moving through them, causing such tension and restricting any decent range of motion as you move. This is all because the flow of circulation trying to go through the abdomen is impeded just enough to reroute normal flow. Good circulation through your abdomen is extremely important for a healthy and pain free life. Being too acidic fights that possibility and usually wins, mostly because we are consistently too acidic.
Using the knowledge and techniques of Sennin-So Shiatsu we focus on relieving tension in the back by opening the congestion in the abdomen. Doing this allows a balance flow of fluid leaving the heart and traveling through the core to the lower extremities. When we do this, we eliminate back pain and tension in minutes, whereas treatment methods of other practices like Physical Therapy and Chiropractic work takes weeks and even months and in most cases clients end up getting little to no relief.
Ever heard your stomach start to "growl"? What do you think that is? Could it be your stomach telling you you are hungry? (Like most believe.) Or could it be that because you are hungry, the stomach organ has decreased in size (nothing inside of it), increasing the space in the abdomen, and decreasing the pressure on your circulation trying to move through, allowing it to move faster and more normal down toward the feet, thus making the gurgling sound. In Sennin-So Shiatsu, we know that we have this congestion moving when we hear your stomach "talking to us"(gurgling). In many cases, the gurgling is also when a client's Migraine pressure in the head is balancing throughout the body, draining out of the upper portion of the body, and eliminating the symptoms of what people feel when having a Migraine.
Being too acidic is one of the main root factors for our culture's all too normal ailments. There is a link to the left that also talks about balancing the ph level in the body and what also can happen if you do not through their research. I found it very interesting, you might also.
