Ancient Biohacking
*Non-medicated anemic symptom relief through the form of pressure point pinching using high tension fabrics
Using the Tonalpohualli (Aztec destiny calendar) to find out your Tonalamatl (divinatory birthday) I sought out my medical destiny. Before colonial rule, the Aztecs had many systems put in place regarding an individual's past, present and future.
Within these systems exists the Tonalamatl, one of the divinatory calendars in charge of a person’s destiny that shows what kind of life they might live, among that comes pre-determined medical diagnosis.
I researched my predetermined destiny and it concluded with blood-related conditions, interestingly enough I have dealt with anemia most of my life so I decided to base my research regarding my experiences with anemia.
