A Business Opportunity

I like natural therapies, and I have a penchant for Chinese Tuina. It is a kind of massage in China that most people follow to maintain their health. In addition, many people put a high value on elements of health and detoxification. Tuina is the best natural therapy to keep a body in a balanced and healthy condition in China. Tuina not only makes the body relaxed, full of vitality, but it also makes the skins get better and better. My first experience of Tuina was eight years ago because I needed to recuperate when my first son was born. Now that I am in Chicago and lost many nourishments of life, I was overwhelmed with longing for those days of Tuina.

It is hard to find a traditional Chinese Tuina shop in Chicago. Most of them are focused on acupuncture, not traditional Chinese Tuina. I tried some shops,but there were not basic services for customers. There were no reception services that serve the customers. For example, the shop did not provide water, seats, or built a person document for customers. The atmospheres seem that people are waiting in a hospital, not in a cozy relaxed Tuina shop. The essence of Tuina are acupoints, massage techniques, and some traditional Chinese medicine. eventually, I found a place to go but did not feel relaxed after the massage because they did not press the right acupoints, and I just felt like a sharp pain on the skin surface. In addition, I could not fall into a deep sleep when I had Tuina in Chicago.

Considering that there are different concepts about Tuina, I miss the traditional Chinese Tuina. I think I cannot find the traditional Chinese Tuina available here because there are different concepts about Tuina. I had seasonal skin allergies of my hands, and I can solve the type of problem by Tuina. In addition, sweating is a normal form of perspiration, but comparing the weather between Southern China and Chicago, it was hard for me to sweat in Chicago. Hence, my allergies have been getting more serious. Luckily, I gave birth in China because I could take good care of me combine traditional Chinses medicine such as ginger, Ay Tsao, and some other special medicine with Tuina. For the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, algidity would be raided into a person, especially the women who have given birth. I have a nostalgia for Tuina with Chinese medicine that makes me comfortable and healthy.

Due to my tired body, I have tried many Tuina shops in Chicago, and I had some ridiculous experiences at these places. First, there are no specific services for women. I remember that I went for a back massage in Tuina shop. In addition, I was lying face down on the bed without clothes, and a man-massagist worked on me. After that, my husband was amazed that I was willing to have a male message therapist, and he suggested that I don’t go to shop without female massagists next time. Furthermore, I understand that it is hard to serve Chinese medicine in Chicago, but I cannot believe that they use the Iron oil named “WongToYick Wood Lock Medicated Balm” to my whole back. It is a smelly oil which only old people use in China. In addition, I hate that smell, and I never thought I’d use the“WongToYick” oil in such big area of my skin.

Consequently, it has been a long time since I have relaxed my muscles, relieved my stress and improved the circulation. In addition, I really miss the days that I can go to Tuina one time in a week. Finally, I gave up finding traditional Tuina shops in Chicago. I bought some tools and tried to have Tuina by myself and my family. I think the best way to be healed nostalgia is accept and learn it. Moreover, I feel similar to me in that they would like to that they need to have a place to relax. At least, I think this is a business opportunity, and I can create a place which brings Chinese Tuina, Yoga and painting that makes people relaxed. Therefore, do not worry about why something bad in our life. Sometimes a bad thing can be turned into a good one that it all depends on people’s mindset.
