Chi Nei Tsang - remedial Abdominal massage
In Traditional Chinese Medicine practice it is believed the abdomen is the centre of storing trapped emotions, think to the times when we feel nervous, excited or in love and how our appetite and stomach is effected. The colloquial expression "butterflies in the stomach" highlights the connection between mind and organs.
