Your change of seasons best friends 🫚

So everyone is coming down with the lurgy and of course it’s always “covid”. Doesn’t matter the name, in Chinese medicine we understand according to pattern: wind-cold, wind-heat +/- damp etc and which level it is in the body. This will determine how we treat to expel the pathogen from the body, not just suppress the symptoms (which essentially works against what your amazing intelligent sophisticated body is trying to do).

👉 Your best protection hacks this change of seasons is spring onion *whites*, fresh ginger, congee, and keeping the skin covered - even if it’s warm with a light layer. A light scarf is perfect to protect the back of the neck for you short hair, up-dos, and hairless people 😉

❗️If you can’t quite get there with recovering, book an appointment for herbs and/or acupuncture xx

My partner is back in Shanghai for a work trip and I’m sooooo wising I was there. We tried to make it work, but alas clinic and congee duties prevail!

No doubt we will make efforts to get back to China soon. Since visiting in 2024 I’ve had almost an overwhelming desire to return and explore China more. It really is nothing like what we’re lead to believe, and being on the terrain where the medicine I practice has a 5,000+ year history was something else, unexplainable really. I know Chinese medicine to be powerful, but witnessing it in action every day and everywhere I look - at markets, on the street, the hotel buffet, McDonalds…. It was all Chinese medicine in action, or simply Yang Shen / Nourishing Life in action (McDonald’s serves congee and it’s very very good!).

It was humbling to feel a part of something so deep and vast, to be a part of this incredible medicine.

CELEBRATE YOUR WINS ✨

As a healthcare professional, sometimes clinic life can be gruelling. See, healing is a complex task with so many factors at play. Not just medical, it is psychological, spiritual. It’s science, art, belief systems, medicine, analytical, intuitive.

A life of service is not for the faint of heart. Being a healthcare provider and supporting people through their toughest moments is an honour not to take lightly or use for ego leverage.

Receiving compliments such as this are received with so much gratitude and humbleness. I share because my success is your success is my success… ☯️

Getting positive feedback such as this keeps the fire in the belly when juggling the commercial side of practice (self employed) can test the passion. I may be a small operator (by design), but I always strive for world class service and treatment.

✨ Heading to Melbourne next month for a 3 day acupuncture workshop with . CANNOT WAIT to link up with my Chinese medicine community for a long weekend of nerding out 🤓

Got grey hairs? Eat more black sesame seeds.

I’ve got a few popping up in my part line so it’s time to bust these little seeds out. In Chinese diet therapy, Hei Zhi Ma / Black Sesame Seed is traditionally used to nourish the Liver and Kidney Yin which is responsible for strong healthy pigmented hair - along with a bunch of other desirable beauty manifestations!

They’re also famous lubricating the bowels which is helpful in weight management, heat control and removal of toxins.

Teamed with walnuts strongly nourish Kindney Yang and Qi so together they are a longevity and preventative medicine powerhouse.

Something more modern is teaming with organic berries (compote, not cold) for antioxidant activity and flavour.

👉Sprinkle over porridge, congee, curries, vegetables.

👉 Mark your calendar SUNDAY 12 APRIL

Every now and then a fellow practitioner crosses your path and you just know they are the real deal ✨ Not only are they extremely good at what they do, there's that little extra something something. Jena se quoi? It's certainly something greater than passion, you can tell they have a calling. There's no ego, yet you know they are top of their game.

Last year I met Nicky G while practicing yoga at , Noosaville. It wasn't long before I was asking him "do you want to run a Yin and Pin class with me?" I've been looking for someone to collaborate with after those wonderful events with back in Albury (another divine practitioner). They're such a beautiful offering and a wonderful way to blend Ayurveda / Traditional Indian Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine - two very old natural medicines that work in harmony with the laws of nature 🌿

So we've set the date and we're designing something sumptuous for you, our beautiful Noosa (and surrounds) community.

Mark your calendars and reach out if you would like to be on the email list for more information and be alerted when tickets are on sale.

Happy New Year 🧧 Gong Xi Fa Cai 🧧

February 17 marks the arrival of the Year of the Yang Fire Horse according to the Chinese lunar calendar 🔥🐎

Wow what a ride we’re in for! In true Horse spirit, this lunar year ushers in rapid, passionate activity under the Fire element. Things want to move, and they want to move fast. This year, we take the momentum from the transformational energy of the previous Wood Snake year and run with it, but with a extra sense of passion and vigor. It's a great energy to get things done, but aim to do it with planning, steadfastness and picking your path carefully and skilfully.

Fire corresponds to Summer and the Heart, Small Intestine, Pericardium and San Jiao. These systems are more vulnerable to heat and excess fire, so this is not the year to launch that chilli sauce brand(!). Think cooling, calm, and collected so we can gallop through our ventures without literally 'burning up'. I half joke, but there is some truth too, in not adding gasoline to the fire.

The Horse energy is particularly vulnerable to overwork and running until they drop, but sometimes don't know when to ease off. It's not unusual for people born under a Horse sign to experience burnout more than once in their lifetime.

I want to spend a little time on the Heart. In Chinese medicine it’s far more than a pump. The Nei Jing Su Wen tells us:

“The Heart is the Emperor, the Supreme Controller. It is the Fire at the centre of our being, from which Spirit radiates."

When Fire agitates the Heart, the Shen (spirit) has nowhere calm to rest. Insomnia, anxiety, palpitations, emotional dysregulation and other chest sensations may be more prominent this year. If you experience alarming symptoms, seek medical care, and you can also gently tap along the Heart meridian at the inner elbow (it might even be tender!).

So, this year: use the energy to get sh*t done, but balance the high octane activity with intentional rest. Nourishing the Heart with loving and supportive relationships and revel in the sense of freedom that comes with the Horse energy ❤️🐎🔥

This is Molly 🐶

She’s my neighbours dog who had an acl injury and the vets (x3) wanted to operate with quotes in the $5k mark and a 6 month recovery. She’s 11 years old and at the time we were all concerned it would take too much out of her. So we began weekly acupuncture. She rapidly improved from the first treatment with a veterinary acupuncturist, and I took over since 2nd session.

I’m not formally trained in animal acupuncture, but I grew up handling many animals and I love helping them with this powerful medicine. I’ve dabbled with a few friends pets and my own. Animals are super responsive like children, and don’t require lengthy treatments, although ongoing maintenance and diet adjustments from a biological and TCM viewpoint strongly help quality of life into old age and avoiding preventable illness (as in the case of my cat and repeated urinary blockages).

I have my first official dog client this week and I hope this marks the beginning of many more. If you encounter me in the wild meeting animas I’m ALWAYS giving unsolicited diet advice to pet parents having gone through the ringer myself and realising how simple and common sense it is - but the vet / pet food industry won’t giveyou that advice because pet food industry is unregulated and big business🤑 BTW feeding only muscle meat is not the answer no matter how good quality.

Animals really respond to acupuncture, I think Molly loves it because she gets undivided attention ❤️ Oh and today we came dressed the same 😍

Now pouring: .of.origin Summer Tea 2 with Wu Mei (smoked dried plum) and Gan Cao (licorice root).

A smoky sweetness that gently cools and quenches thirst, restrains excessive sweating with a gentle sweetness without the sugar hit.

Gently balancing to terrain, Wu Mei is also known as a parasitic inhibitor.

🍉 Watermelon: your magic pill for summertime irritability, exhaustion, diarrhoea, thirst, and heat stroke.

Try to get the seeded stuff ie. old school non gmo / fiddled with, natural. It is harder to find these days but it is around.

⚠️ Just make sure it’s not refrigerator cold (which will cause digestive damage for in Late Summer.

Here’s one for midweek healthy, seasonally appropriate meals that reheat nicely (hello warm food and drink! 👋)

Ratatouille with rice (or congee!) and sauerkraut.

Why you would want this:

🥒 If you make Ratatouille right it’ll have plenty of culinary herbs (I used oregano, thyme, tarragon and rosemary) which are aromatic and amazing to dispel damp. Combined with oungenct action they also are fabulous to keep the system deodorised of parasites.
🥒 Most of the ingredients are sweet in nature and work to tonify the digestive organs (you want this for optimal gut health)
🥒 There’s also a note of sour. We are in Spring, the flavour is sour and a *little* harmonises the spring organs Liver and Gallbladder (too much will tip the wood organs out of balance by astringing the qi when we want movement, and expansion this time of year)
🥒…Which is why the pungency of the culinary herbs is welcome addition for taste AND function - pungent flavours move and circulate the Qi and Blood (health is flow people!)
🥒 It’s well cooked thus less taxing on the digestion
🥒 Neutral - slightly cool thermatic temperature to help the body cope with the rising temperatures (especially up here in SEQ).
🥒Reheats nicely for workday lunches

I love this French classic and it will be on high rotation through Spring and Summer.
