Want an easy way to incorporate a medicinal herb into your diet? Chinese red dates, or Da Zao, can be found at Asian grocers. They’re wonderful at building Qi and Blood. Da Zao also calms the Shen (Mind). So they’re great for fatigue, dry skin and hair and poor sleep. Throw a few into your soups and stews for added health benefits.

Did you know that pesticides, heavy metals, parabens and phthalates may affect your chances of conceiving? A literature review has found that these endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are associated with reduced s***m quality, hormonal imbalances, increased risks of pre-term birth and complications during pregnancy (Fattan et al 2017).

Living a low-toxicity lifestyle is important for women and men who are trying to conceive. Here are some tips:
🌿Switch to DIY cleaning recipes with ingredients like vinegar, baking soda and essential oils. They’re easy to make and affordable. Or, choose plant-based and fragrance-free commercial alternatives
🌿Avoid smelly things like perfume, candles, air fresheners and fabric softener
🌿Reduce plastics, like disposable coffee cups and plastic food containers. Switch to glass and stainless steel containers, stainless steel straws and beeswax wraps
🌿Switch to plant-based and natural skin and hair care products. Look for paraben-free products, and have a go at making your own face cleansers and body butters
🌿Choose clothing made from natural fibers like cotton and wool

What’s your favourite low-toxicity living tip?

Does your hair break easily? Is it dry and brittle? You may have a deficiency or weakness of your Liver Blood and Kidney Qi. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, Blood nourishes the hair, and a loss of Kidney Jing can lead to weak and thinning hair.

To build Blood and Kidney Qi, add bone broth to your diet. You can add it to soups and stews for extra punch, or drink it like a hot tea.

Acupuncture is not the same as dry needling. While similar needles are used, there is a world of difference between the two practices. These differences relate to how points on the body are selected for needling and the level of training required. Check out our new blog post that explores the similarities and differences between acupuncture and dry needling. Check out our new blog post for more: http://bit.ly/4nvGk5i

Period pain is the pits. It can last for days, can cause you to miss work and important events, and creates a lot of anxiety when you know it’ll only happen again in a few weeks. Traditional Chinese Medicine is very helpful in treating this frustrating condition – it gets to the root of the problem, rather than being a temporary relief of pain. And know that pain is NOT a natural part of being a woman – you can actually experience a pain-free period. Book in with me to find out how.

Here’s a simple recipe for a healing chicken broth. Broths are an amazing way to strengthen Qi and Blood, and boost Kidney Jing. Bone broths are rich in collagen, amino acids, calcium and phosphorus. They’re fabulous for everyone, but particularly important for new mothers, nursing mothers and those with osteoporosis. Consuming broths on a daily basis is also an important way to hydrate.

You’ll need:
About 1.5kg of chicken bones (raw or cooked)
1 onion, roughly chopped
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp garlic, finely chopped
1 tbsp sea salt
4 bay leaves
2 tsp mixed Italian herbs

Throw all ingredients into a slow cooker or large saucepan. Add enough water to cover the bones by about 5cm
Slow cooker - cook on low for 24 hours
Saucepan - bring to the boil, and simmer for 3-4 hours
Strain liquid, and discard other ingredients

The broth will keep in the fridge for five days. Otherwise, freeze to enjoy later

💦 Damp can manifest in the body in different ways. Damp is basically an accumulation of fluids in the body. The root cause of this accumulation is often when our Spleen is tired, or deficient. The Spleen works hard every day to turn the food and drink we consume into Qi and Blood, and it also processes all the information we receive from the world. This is a big job, so, Spleen Qi Deficiency is very common. When the Spleen is tired, it can’t process fluids properly, and Damp builds up. Damp can show up like this:
💦 Feeling heavy and slow, particularly in the morning
💦 Dull headaches
💦 No appetite
💦 Sticky tongue coating
💦 Bloating
💦 Oedema
