🍵❄️ Winter Wellness in a Cup: Ginger & Red Date Tea
Feeling tired, cold, or run-down lately?

One of my favorite natural remedies to support your immune system and keep you warm from the inside out is this simple, cozy drink: Ginger & Red Date Tea.

🌿 Why it works:
🫚 Ginger helps warm the body, boost circulation, and help with digestion.
🍎 Red dates (jujube) are sweet and nourishing — they help support your energy, immunity, and even mood.

Together, they make the perfect winter tonic to help you feel stronger and warmer.

đź«– How to make it:
• 10–15 slices of fresh ginger
• 6 red dates (pitted)
• Simmer in 2–3 cups of water for 15 minutes on the stove
• Optional: Add a little brown sugar or honey for extra warmth

Drink it warm, ideally in the morning or late afternoon — it’s like a hug for your body. 🤍

🙋‍♀️ Perfect for you if:
• You get cold easily (hands, feet, etc.)
• You’re recovering from a cold
• You feel tired or sluggish in winter

đźš« Skip this if you tend to feel overheated, have night sweats, or dry mouth often.

We did it! 35km walked, many laughs shared, and a great cause supported — the Bloody Long Walk is done and dusted!
Thank you so much to everyone who donated, cheered me on, or asked about the walk. Your support really helped push me through those final kilometres.
Events like this are a great reminder of why I do what I do — staying active, supporting community health, and finding balance through movement and recovery. As a Chinese medicine practitioner, I love helping others do the same in their own lives.
If you’ve got post-exercise soreness, fatigue, or just want to support your body naturally, I’m here to help with treatments like acupuncture, cupping, and herbal medicine.
Thanks again for all the support — now it’s time for a good stretch, cupping and well earned rest!

This Sunday I’m taking on the Bloody Long Walk — a 35km challenge to support Australians living with mitochondrial disease (mito).

I try to do an event like this each year — not just to support a good cause, but to have fun with friends on the day and to challenge myself through the training. As a Chinese medicine practitioner, I’m all about walking the talk when it comes to wellness, balance, and giving back.

This year, I’m walking to raise funds for awareness and research into Mitochondrial disease, known as mito for short, a group of genetic disorders that affect mitochondria which are responsible for producing energy in our cells.

If you’d like to support the cause, I’d really appreciate a donation via the link in comments. Every little bit helps!
Wish me luck for the 35km ahead!

🌿✨ A little piece of nature in the most unexpected place! One of my amazing clients surprised me with this beautiful terrarium—crafted inside a cupping cup! 💕

Cupping has been used for centuries in Chinese medicine to promote circulation, relieve tension, and restore balance. Now, this little cup has been given a new life, reminding me that healing and growth come in many forms. 🌱

Feeling so grateful for the wonderful connections I get to make through my practice. Thank you for this thoughtful gift! 🙏🏼💚

About Us

Dr Johannah Shergis and Dr Yuan Di met at university over a decade ago and co-own CMCD Holistic Health in Doncaster. They pursued clinical and academic roles, both receiving PhD’s before joining forces to bring together their experience in Chinese medicine to help people with a range of ailments. The Clinic welcomes a diverse clientele since it opened its doors, with people from English and Chinese speaking backgrounds all welcome. Up to one in five Australians use complementary and alternative therapies including acupuncture for a number of health conditions.

Dr Yuan has over 10 years’ clinical experience. “I enjoy meeting new clients and providing acupuncture services. I’m passionate about improving people’s health.” Dr Johannah said the growing population in Doncaster meant there is an increased need for medical services.
