Ren-17 (Shanzhong) is the Front-Mu point of the Pericardium (protector of the heart), located on the midline of the sternum in the depression level with the fourth intercostal space, and is known as 'Chest Centre' or 'Upper Sea of Qi.'
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it's used to regulate qi, unbind the chest and descend rebellion of the Lung and Stomach. This translates to opening the airways for breathing issues like cough, asthma and chest congestion, calming the heart to reduce anxiety, stress and chest pain, aiding digestion to resolve acid reflux and vomiting, and benefiting the breasts to support lactation. It can be activated using needles, guasha or with massage combined with deep breaths.

TCM dietary advice can start with learning food energetics, listening to our bodies, and using food as medicine to create internal harmony. We often recommend warm, cooked meals from fresh, whole ingredients while avoiding extremes.
Basically, foods are either cooling (Yin) or warming (Yang), and with simple education, you can adjust your current food intake to assist in rebalancing your qi.
We often recommend reducing or avoiding Cold/Raw foods like iced drinks, large raw salads, etc, and Damp/Greasy foods like dairy, deep-fried, and oily foods as these can weaken Spleen Qi affecting digestion.
We also suggest avoiding excess Pungent/Spicy/Heating foods like chilli (unless needed to expel dampness in hot climates), sugar, alcohol, and highly processed foods as these cause inflammation.
With the end goal of moderation to enjoy all foods, we advocate eating slowly in a peaceful setting, chewing well, and stopping at about 70% fullness.
To start your TCM journey call Dr Davey now on 0417164627 and "Bon appétit." ☆

A young man once asked a wise monk how to stop overthinking. The monk replied, "It's because your mind is trying to defend itself from the imagined fears of tomorrow. Yet who can see tomorrow? Any glimpse into the future is only the product of your imagination. If your imagined troubles are produced by the mind, and the mind works tirelessly to come up with solutions, it becomes like the cat chasing its own tail.

The remedy for this is twofold. First, recognise that our thoughts are not reality. The vast majority of our worries never come to pass. Second, accept that the future will bring what it will bring, release what is out of your control, and then do what you can with whatever comes. By this twofold action, your mind transforms from a cat chasing its own tail to become a mighty river embracing and flowing with whatever is in its path.

Recognise that your mind seeks solutions to its own imagined problems. Trust in the future. Do the best with what is in your control and let go of the rest...
This is the way."

Acupuncture can help to reduce scarring by improving blood flow, promoting collagen production, softening hardened tissue, and reducing pain and itching. Fine needles are inserted directly on (pictured) or surrounding scars to break up adhesions, encourage skin renewal, and reduce colouration.

Feeling tired? You’re not alone.
Fatigue can present for many reasons - busy schedules, stress, poor disrupted sleep, or ongoing health concerns. A third of the world’s population suffers from 'unexplained' fatigue and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a unique framework for understanding these patterns of disharmony and supporting your overall well-being.
In TCM, fatigue may relate to imbalances in the body’s systems. An individualised treatment plan may include acupuncture, massage, cupping, herbal formulas, and lifestyle or dietary advice. These approaches aim to support your body’s natural capacity for balance and resilience.
If you’re feeling persistently tired, it may be helpful to speak with a qualified practitioner or your primary healthcare provider. , we offer a calm, supportive environment, and we’re always happy to discuss whether our services may be suitable for your needs.

Moxibustion is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy that involves burning dried mugwort (moxa) to invigorate local Qi and blood, open up the channels and expel Cold and Damp. Mugwort is believed to have medicinal properties that enhance therapeutic effect and can be applied either directly to the skin in small cones or indirectly by holding a lit moxa stick above an acupuncture point or area. Moxa is used for various conditions; including musculoskeletal pain, gastrointestinal issues, boosting the immune system to assist against colds and flu, and can be used to help turn a baby in a breech position before birth.
Note: Moxibustion should be performed by a trained and skilled practitioner to avoid burns or other injuries.

"Whatever floats your boat. Acupuncture works!" Acupuncture promotes the flow of Qi... and endorphins, purinergic signalling, μ-opioid receptor binding, electron transfer, and autonomic balance. Its mechanisms can be explained in both TCM theory and Western Medicine.
