💡 Did you know that your grandmother carried you in her womb? 💡(In your mother’s ovaries) What?!

The egg which formed you was present in your grandmother’s and mothers reproductive system so everything they experienced influences your genetics. I still find this incredible 🐣

💡 AND- Epigenetics allows us the hope that what choices WE make now has an influence in what genes can be switched on and off, and has influence on our future ancestral lines too if they continue.

Thoughts? What actions can you make today/this week? More acupuncture? 😉

It’s not just about what we eat but how we eat as well. Some healthy eating guidelines from Recipes for Self-healing by Daverick Leggett.

✅ Eat Simply
✅ Eat lightly
✅ Reduce sugar
✅ Include a few naturally fermented foods (if tolerated)
✅ Seperate sweet foods and fruit from the main meal
✅ Drink between rather than with meals
✅ Avoid too much cold food
✅ Chew well
✅ Relax and sit comfortably when eating
✅ Trust your body
✅ Enjoy your food

Which one do you find the hardest? Is there something you feel inspired to focus on this week?

Things to Know About Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) 🪡📜
1️⃣ TCM Takes a Holistic Approach
Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at the body as an interconnected system. It considers physical, emotional, and environmental factors when assessing health.
2️⃣ The Concept of Balance is Central
Balance between opposing forces—often referred to as Yin and Yang—is fundamental in TCM. Many practices aim to support this balance within the body.
3️⃣ There are many different styles of acupuncture from dry needling, 5 element, balance method to neoclassical.
4️⃣ Individualised Care
Practitioners consider each person’s presentation and tailor approaches accordingly. Lifestyle, diet, emotional well-being, and overall constitution are all considered.
5️⃣ TCM Includes a Range of Practices
It’s not just acupuncture—TCM also includes Chinese herbal medicine, dietary recommendations, cupping, moxibustion, and movement practices like Tai Chi and Qi Gong.

🌿 Understanding medicinal herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), herbal formulations have been traditionally used as part of a holistic approach to health. Each herb is selected based on its properties, including flavour, temperature, and its role within TCM principles.

TCM herbal formulations are traditionally combined in specific ways, with consideration of balance and harmony. They are often used alongside other TCM practices, such as acupuncture.

🔎 Why do acupuncturists feel the pulse on both wrists? 🪡

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), pulse reading is a key part of assessing overall health. Unlike the standard radial pulse used in Western medicine, TCM practitioners feel six pulse positions—three on each wrist—at different depths.

This approach helps provide insights into TCM organ systems and supports the development of a tailored treatment plan.

Keep a water bottle handy and sip throughout the day!

💧 Another important tip: Aim to drink water consistently throughout the day, not only for the acupuncture treatment but for your heath in general.
