Spending long hours sitting in an air-conditioned office may feel comfortable, but this routine quietly disrupts your body’s natural balance and blood circulation over time.
💢 The Hidden Costs of Sitting All Day
Sitting for long hours slows blood and qi circulation, leading to:
Stiff shoulders, back, or neck
Swollen legs or varicose veins
Sluggish metabolism and gradual weight gain
Poor digestion or bloating after meals
From a TCM view, prolonged sitting weakens the muscles and energy flow, gradually turning the body into a low-metabolism state.
❄️ The Cold Air Factor
Working long hours in cold air-conditioned spaces causes:
Cold hands and feet
poor blood circulation
Menstrual discomfort or irregularity in women
Shoulder or joint stiffness
Fatigue, headaches, or light insomnia
For most office workers, “long sitting + cold air” = double circulation blockage, making the body more prone to fatigue, soreness, and hormonal imbalance.
🩺 How TCM Helps Restore Balance
At Han Yi Tang, treatments are tailored according to each individual’s body type and symptoms. Common therapies include:
Acupuncture / Cupping / Moxibustion
Herbal prescriptions
Meridian massage and body treatments
The goal is simple: to restore warmth, improve flow, and bring the body back to balance.
🧘♀️ Easy Office Self-Care Tips：
👉 1. Move every hour
Stand up, stretch your shoulders, or take a short walk to boost circulation.
👉 2. Swap cold drinks for warm water
Warm water supports metabolism and helps the body expel dampness.
👉 3. Keep your waist and abdomen warm
Use a small shawl or heating pad to protect against cold invasion.
👉 4. Relax your eyes and neck
Do simple neck rolls or upper-back stretches to relieve tension from screen work.
Dr’s Reminder
“Sitting itself isn’t the problem, it’s staying still.
When your circulation slows down, your metabolism and immunity drop too.
Regular movement and proper TCM care keep your body active, warm, and balanced.”
