Talking about poop shouldn’t feel embarrassing. In TCM, your bowel movements are honest little messengers — like walking into the house after your husband had the kids and instantly knowing exactly what went down. From runny to rocky to needing enemas, nothing is “gross.” It’s just information that helps your acupuncturist understand your whole system and support you with real, woman-centered care.
