Are you tired, anxious, or feeling flat… and your blood tests say everything’s “normal”?

You might be experiencing blood deficiency—one of the most common patterns I see in women at Shine Health.

In Chinese Medicine, blood is your body’s deep nourishment. When it’s depleted, you may feel:
✨ Exhausted no matter how much you rest
✨ Scattered, anxious, or emotionally flat
✨ Trouble sleeping or irregular periods
✨ Dry skin, dizziness, or low libido

I’ve written a full article explaining what causes blood deficiency (from both a TCM + naturopathic perspective), what makes it worse, and how to start rebuilding from the inside out. 💪
Plus, I’ve shared one of my favourite healing recipes: Chicken and Red Date Soup—a traditional TCM tonic to nourish blood and calm the nervous system. 🍲

👉 Swipe through this carousel to learn the basics
👉 Then head to the link in my bio to read the full blog article or comment BLOOD and I’ll send you the article

📍If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. Reach out to book a session—I’d love to help you feel like yourself again.

Happy International Women’s Day

07/03/2025

Endometriosis Awareness Month

March is Endometriosis and Adenomyosis Awareness Month. Thousands of women suffer from these conditions daily in silence.
Hallmarked by
🚩Heavy and or irregular periods
🚩Pelvic, Hip or Back Pain
🚩Digestive issues
🚩Fatigue and low energy
🚩Pain during in*******se
🚩Infertility and reproductive issues

According to Naturopathic and Chinese Medicine philosophy, the root causes of endometriosis and adenomyosis are Oestrogen dominance, poor liver detoxification, immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation, poor circulation and blood flow and poor stress adaptation. Chinese medicine diagnoses are associated with Liver Qi stagnation, Blood stagnation, Cold in the uterus, Kidney Yang deficiency and damp, phlegm or toxic heat accumulation.

Key strategies to help
🥦 Diet & Lifestyle Changes
* Anti-inflammatory, hormone-balancing diet, eliminate xenoestrogens, optimize gut health.
* Include Warm, blood-moving foods (ginger, cinnamon), avoid cold/raw foods.
🍶 Herbal Medicine & Supplements
* Omega-3s, NAC, DIM, CoQ10, probiotics, magnesium.
* Custom herbal formulas to reduce inflammation, regulate menstruation, support healthy stress response, improve liver detoxification
📍 Acupuncture, Moxibustion & External Therapies
* Weekly acupuncture for circulation, stress reduction, hormone balance.
* Castor oil packs, cupping, infrared sauna for detox & blood flow.

By integrating Naturopathy with Chinese Medicine philosophy and Acupuncture, we can:
✅ Address root causes (hormonal imbalance, inflammation, circulation).
✅ Provide symptom relief (pain, bloating, fatigue, mood).
✅ Support long-term healing with a personalized health plan.

NOT ALL IBS IS THE SAME

IBS is common but not all IBS sufferers have the same symptoms.

Some people get alternating constipation or diarrhoea, some get bloated, some have smelly stools or a lot of pain, others may feel very fatigued, have brain fog or frequent loose bowel motions.

Identifying which pattern is part of your condition is what I look for during a consultation. It enables me to prescribe you the right herbs, the right nutrients and acupuncture points

The most common patterns I see in clinic are
* Spleen Qi deficiency - the person is tired, weak, has a puffy body with frequently loose movement and often has food intolerances
* Liver Qi stagnation invading the Spleen - The classic stress pooh. The person could have alternating constipation or loose stool, bloating and flatulence and everything is usually worse with stress or emotional upset
* Cold in the Large Intestine - The person typically feels cold and constipated with hard to move stool.
* Damp Heat in the Large intestine - This is usually associated with an infection or parasite. Very smell stools, with frequent bloating and pain

If you have IBS and recognise any of these reach out or book a free 15 minute call.
