Meaning of HEalth to Me!!!!!!
As a physiotherapy trainee and a person who has knee injury due to sport, I always believe healing is not about seeing the best doctor or has the best medicine you can get. Healing is so subjective for me. When I was injured at the acute stage, I receive acupuncture treatment and he gave me an herbal wrap for 3 days. But, when I learn about soft tissue injury, heat is not a suitable treatment for acute injury. So, I asked my lecturer about Chinese herbal treatment, she said, that’s as well, because Chinese herbs induced heat into the injury and cause accumulation of fluids in the injured area, thus edema occurs. But, I was not satisfied with her answer as I, myself, who had injury and underwent herbs treatment, which worked for me. Yes, my knee healed but the knee is not stable and I have to stop my interest in Tae Kwan Do. My heart crashed and my life completely changed. Well, in my opinion the rate of healing of my the wound in my heart and spirit is much slower than the one in my knee. Therefore, eventhough my knee helaed but i still felt as though i am not heal yet. Why is this happening???? why am i feeling this way???
So, in here i want ask you you… what do u think about health to you???? is it only when u have fever and took two panadols???? Or more than tat???? i personally think is more holistic ways of life…….. i really wish i can reverse the day injured my knee…

babe.. healin is all bout gettin well,means both spiritually,mentally and of course s our aims are,physiologically & anatomically.. but yeah,it does make one’s think a bit deeper.. there’s more depth in ‘heal’ & yes,tis vry subjective.. but speaking d truth,our aims are physiologically.. hard but tis d truth.. if u think bout it,’pain’ is also very subjectives.. but 4wuts is worth,i think the best we could do is stick 2 reality & dat is science.. no matter how vast d interpretation goes,still we depends on it to save our skin.. juz an opinion,ur blog really catch my eyes..

From your blog, it seems to me you are more interested to know about healing than health. But since you want to know what health is to others,I shall share my opinion with you. Health is the fundamental to life. Without good health, one is unable to contribute fully to others. Why do we work ? Why do we fight to live ? To me, all this are so that mankind can continue to exist. Our purpose is to help others continue to live. Hence, only with good health can we achieve this.
