🩸 World Diabetes Day (Nov 14)

Title: Beyond Diabetes: How Blood Sugar Balance Affects Women’s Health

World Diabetes Day reminds us that blood sugar balance matters for everyone — not only for those with diabetes.

In my clinic, I often see women with PCOS, fatigue, or hormonal changes who show early signs of insulin resistance. This means their cells don’t respond well to insulin, leading to sugar cravings, weight changes, and mood swings. Over time, this can increase the risk of metabolic issues like diabetes.

The good news? Small daily habits can make a big difference.
🕊 Eat regular, balanced meals with protein and whole foods.
🌿 Move your body every day, even gently.
💧 Manage stress and get enough sleep — these support healthy hormone and insulin balance.

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, we look at how the Spleen and Liver systems interact with digestion, mood, and energy. When these are in harmony, the whole body feels more stable. Acupuncture and herbal support can assist your body’s ability to regulate itself naturally.

You don’t need to have diabetes to start taking care of your metabolic health.
By balancing blood sugar, we balance energy, mood, and hormones — helping you feel grounded and clear.

✨ If you’ve been feeling tired, craving sugar, or struggling with hormonal changes, consider a holistic consultation to support your wellbeing.

At our clinic, every step forward is a victory worth celebrating! We want to share some encouraging progress from a wonderful patient.

A 66-year-old man came to us feeling very unwell. He was dealing with the challenges of advanced prostate cancer and COPD, feeling extremely weak, with no appetite, shortness of breath, and painful headaches.

We've been working with him closely, and after several visits, we are thrilled to see such positive changes:
✨ His PSA level dropped from 21 to 17.
✨ He has gained over 1 kg (2.2 lbs) and his appetite is returning!
✨ The chest pain is completely gone.
✨ His headaches are "much less."
✨ Most importantly, he simply "feels better."

Seeing his energy improve and his symptoms ease is why we do what we do. Our goal is always to support the body's own healing abilities and improve our patients' quality of life.

We are so proud of his determination and happy to be part of his healthcare team.

Individual results may vary. Treatment outcomes are unique to each patient.

👁️✨ Do your eyes often feel tired or itchy — especially in windy or seasonal weather?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, eye fatigue can be linked to tension around the brow and forehead area, or an imbalance in the Liver channel, which nourishes the eyes.

Try this gentle self-care sequence:
1️⃣ Rest a warm towel over your closed eyes for a minute.
2️⃣ Gently press under your brow bone with your fingertips.
3️⃣ Use your knuckles to lift your brows upward toward your hairline.
4️⃣ Slowly move your eyes up, down, left, and right — to release tension.

This mindful routine relaxes the muscles and helps Qi (energy) circulate more smoothly through the eyes and head. 🌿

☀️ 立夏 (Lì Xià) - The Beginning of Summer is Here! ☀️

Feel that? The energy is shifting. Today, we welcome 立夏 (Lì Xià), the 7th solar term in the traditional calendar, marking the official start of the summer season.

This is a time of vibrant growth and expanding energy. As an ancient saying goes, "At Lì Xià, all plants and crops grow tall." 🌱 It’s a perfect reminder for us to embrace the fiery, active energy of the season and direct it toward our own growth and passions.

How can you celebrate and stay balanced this Lì Xià?

🥚 Try a Fun Tradition: Challenge your family to stand a raw egg on its end today at noon! It’s said the balanced forces of the sun and moon make it possible, bringing good luck for the season.

❤️ Nourish Your Heart: In Traditional Chinese Medicine, summer is linked to the Fire element and the Heart organ. This is the time to:

Eat light, hydrating foods.

Incorporate "bitter" flavors like bitter melon and dandelion greens.

Enjoy red-colored foods like cherries, watermelon, and red beans to cool and calm the heart.

Sip on refreshing teas like chrysanthemum or mint to clear summer heat.

Let’s step into this bright new season with open arms and vibrant energy. Wishing you all a summer filled with sunshine, joy, and wonderful growth!

This review stopped me in my tracks and filled my heart with gratitude. 🥲

When you're given a diagnosis like adenomyosis and told your options are limited to hormones or surgery, it can feel hopeless. But stories like this one are why I am so passionate about offering a different path.

A patient recently shared her journey, and with her permission, I want to share a part of it with you:

"I have been seeing Jane since April this year, and her treatment of acupuncture and herbs provided me with almost instant relief. She’s helped me get my cycles under control and relieve me from incapacitating pain and discomfort... and saved my uterus. I am truly grateful for her care and support."

This is more than just a 5-star review; it's a story of reclaiming health and hope. If you, or someone you love, is navigating similar challenges with women's health, chronic pain, or heavy bleeding, please know that there are other avenues to explore.

I invite you to share this post with anyone who might need to see this message today. Hope is powerful.
However, stories like this one are why I am so passionate about offering an alternative

🌸 Spring Energy & Potassium — Supporting the Body’s Natural Renewal

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is the season when Yang Qi begins to rise — nature’s energy awakening after winter’s stillness.

Foods that sprout or grow upward, such as bean sprouts, peas, spinach, and young greens, reflect this same spring movement of renewal and expansion. 🌱

Many of these foods are naturally rich in potassium, a mineral that helps your cells stay balanced and energised. In this way, spring foods not only mirror the rising Qi — they also support the body’s natural rhythm of growth and renewal.

At AcuNatural Health Bowen Hills, we encourage gentle, seasonal adjustments — eating fresh, light, and vibrant foods that move with spring’s energy. 🌿

Morning stiffness? You're not alone. 🙌

Those stiff, puffy fingers when you wake up are your body's way of waving a little flag—it could be a sign of "stagnation" or a slowdown in your natural energy flow.

The good news? You can help get things moving with some simple, mindful practices:
✨ Ten-Finger Wheel Turn: Interlace your fingers and gently rotate your wrists 10 times each way.
☀️ Sunshine on Your Back: Catch 15-30 minutes of morning sun (before 11 am).
🛁 Warm Foot Soak: A 15-minute warm foot bath with ginger slices can encourage circulation.

It’s about listening to your body and supporting it with consistent care.

💫 Save this post to try the finger wheel turn tomorrow morning!
