According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, the ear is viewed as a microsystem and often used to manage health issues of the entire body.
The centre of the earlobe, in particular, is the primary point for the eyes. Hence, why piercing the lobe and wearing a stud or hopped earring is thought to stimulate the acupoint and therefore improve our eyesight, more specifically, symptoms of eye strain and blurred vision.

As a side note, I pierced both my ears 42 years ago at aged 18, which for a male back then was both controversial and attracted intense derogatory aspersions, that thankfully, has become quite popular now even with young boys at my daughter's primary school.

"Reaching Tian (Heaven/Sky) to pick the golden peach" is believed to be the oldest Qi Gong practice that improves both physical and mental well-being, as observed by those who could reach high above to acquire food for their family/community.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, breathing in through your nose while reaching high above your shoulder to grasp an imaginary 'peach' (heels stay on the ground) activates the Lung, Liver, and Kidney meridians simultaneously. Balanced Kidney Qi helps to anchor the Lung Qi and assists with Lung Qi rebellion (cough, hiccups), and the grasping aspect while stretching the flank is crucial in promoting the smooth flow of qi in the body as tendons are governed by the Liver Qi and subsequently regulates all our emotions.

Perform it 3, 5, 7 or 9 times left and right (odd numbers aspire to Tian) with your tongue gently touching the roof of your mouth like you pronounce the letter 'L.'

Hegu, known as Joining Valley, is a potent Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupoint located on the dorsum of the hand, between the 1st and 2nd metacarpal bones, midway on the 2nd metacarpal bone on the radial side. It is classified as the Yuan-Source point of the Large Intestine Channel (LI-4), the Command Point of the head and face, and the 'Master Point of Pain.'

It can be either needled or massaged by applying finger and thumb pressure in a circular motion and is indicated for diseases of the head and face: i.e., external pathogenic headache and bodyache, dizziness, congestion, swelling and pain of the eye, nasosinusitis, nosebleed, toothache in the lower jaw, lockjaw, deafness, mumps, swelling of the face, facial paralysis, facial tic, swelling of the pharnyx and inability to speak. It is also used for aversion to cold, fever, febrile disease, anhidrosis (no sweating), hidrosis, dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, labour/childbirth induction, gastric pain, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, dysentery, hemiplegia, finger spasm, pain in the arm, infantile convulsion, manic psychosis and irritability.
It is frequently used in conjunction with LIV-3 to activate 'The Four Gates' to strongly move the qi and blood in the body in order to remove stagnation and alleviate pain in conjunction with other acupoints.

Please note: Important Contraindication - LI-4 is strictly forbidden during pregnancy as it can induce labour or cause uterine contractions, potentially leading to miscarriage.

Originally called Anmo, Tuina Massage is the cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with over 5,000 years of history and refinement and the precursor of acupuncture via the use of mineral-rich pointed stones called 'Bian Shi.'

Tuina massage aims to move qi to eliminate stagnation and rebalance the body’s energies to promote healing and is often combined with acupuncture and herbal medicine to assist the management of musculoskeletal, neurological, and internal conditions.

"Gōng Xǐ Fā Cái" - Year of the Yang Fire Horse.
In Chinese astrology, the Horse is known for its confidence, intelligence, responsibility and independence. The Fire element adds a fast-paced transformative dynamic, characterised by intense energy, passion and ambition to chase our goals towards independence. It encourages bold actions and represents a breakthrough for many, with rapid progress regarding big life changes, yet also carries the risk of burnout if not managed with wisdom and self-care.

Yintang, known as the 'Hall of Impression' or 'Third Eye,' is a powerful Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupoint located midpoint between the medial ends of the eyebrows (glabella). It can be either needled or massaged by applying light finger or thumb pressure, or wiping upwards towards the hairline to calm the 'Mind' and induce immediate relaxation for managing anxiety and insomnia, and effectively clearing frontal headaches, vertigo and sinus pressure or congestion in conjunction with other acupoints.

Ear Shenmen (Spirit Gate) is a crucial acupuncture point for calming the 'shen' (spirit/mind), reducing anxiety, improving sleep and alleviating pain by balancing the nervous system to promote homeostasis. Located in the triangular fossa of the upper ear, it's a key point in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for mental health and well-being. It's used with needles or ear seeds for continuous gentle pressure to calm the mind to reduce stress, anxiety, tension and overthinking. It improves sleep by promoting relaxation to help with insomnia. It can alleviate both physical and emotional pain, including headaches, and it rebalances our emotions to foster a sense of centeredness and well-being.
Note: It's one of the five points in the NADA protocol to manage drug and alcohol cravings and withdrawals.
