The Strength and Amazing Unity of the AAFederation

As a lot of societal stressors continue to appear in the lives of many, the AAFederation has always been a great group of individuals who pursue the prosperity, comfort and safety of the Asian American Community by creating public awareness, research and development in the United States of America. Although I have heard of the AAFederation, I have never participated in any events that they have provided until I got in touch with a friend of mine. @sonofdimsum (who you can find on Instagram) shared an interesting link with me. As I clicked the link, this image showed up and it instantly grabbed my attention. Soon after, I decided to join this specific virtual activity. I was so impressed and happy to be a part of something so personable! I learned a lot about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which I never thought of researching or learning much about until today. TCM has been used for more than 2000 years for treatments, illness prevention, and diagnostics. In this specific virtual activity, I learned about Gan Mai Da Zao Tang, a (herbal formula) used for treating depression. This formula includes Gan Cao 9g, Da Zao 8 pieces, Fu Xiao Mai 12g which was discussed during the virtual workshop. This workshop was beautifully done and raised my awareness in self love, along with Chinese spiritual practices/Qi Gong knowledge. A big thank you for @sonofdimsum for introducing me to the AAFederation and a big thanks to Giovania Tiarachristie (Certified Massage Therapist, Reiki practitioner, Coach & facilitator), trî chung (somatic trauma & pain recovery specialist, health educator) and Y Thuan La (Nationally Certified Acupuncturist, Tai Chi / Qigong Teacher) for hosting a space where people can feel accepted, safe and supported!
