Body & Mind

Description

Zika fever is a mosquito-hosted welcome party that suddenly turns into a lingering festival of fever and malaise. Its fleeting euphoria leaves behind souvenirs of joint pains and mental fog as unexpected gifts. The more loudly one preaches prevention, the more it proves to be a cunning magic trick that masters human anxiety. A symbol of paradox, it sends everyone rushing to splurge on mosquito coils just after the health news segment ends.

Keywords

acne

Acne is the silent insurgent of the skin that launches attacks on your confidence and sense of cleanliness at the most opportune moments. Though often regarded as the youth’s exclusive domain, it sneaks upon anyone and mocks those who overestimate their self-care abilities. Revered by the beauty industry as a prosperous source of income, to the afflicted it is a ruthless piece of art that enforces nothing but pain and stares.

acupressure

Acupressure is a traditional trial of courage that entrusts bodily pain to another’s fingertips, piercing the armor of emotion to buy tranquility. The pads of the fingers are gentle like massage, yet liberate pain as if on a battlefield. It vows never to let pain escape, yet for a moment, it allows one to forget pain itself.

acupuncture

Acupuncture is a ritual of inserting slender metal needles into mysterious points called "tsubo" under the guise of self-suggestion. One paradoxically revels in self-healing by choosing a different kind of pain to avoid invisible enemies. Claimed to adjust the flow of "qi," yet the true calibration depends entirely on the practitioner’s discretion. Straddling tradition and science, it offers solace to believers and fosters skepticism among doubters.
