🫀“𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭’𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚 𝐏𝐮𝐦𝐩 — 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐄𝐎 𝐨𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬!”⁣
⁣
Let’s get one thing straight: your heart isn’t just there to keep you alive — it’s the emotional, energetic 𝘥𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘢 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘯 of your body. From a Western perspective, your heart’s job is simple: pump blood, deliver oxygen, keep you standing upright when you see your ex. Doctors talk about blood pressure, cholesterol, and arteries like it’s a plumbing problem — keep the pipes clean & all’s well 🚿⁣
⁣
But TCM? Oh honey, we go 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘳. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, your heart is the 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐫 — the ruler of all organs, the house of your 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐧 (𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭) & the boss of your emotions, sleep & even your complexion. When your heart’s unhappy, you don’t just feel it in your chest — you might feel anxious, forgetful, have insomnia, or get that “I’m emotionally fried” face 💅⁣
⁣
In TCM, heart health isn’t just about what you eat. It’s about balance⁣
⁣
Too much stress, overthinking, heartbreak (literal or metaphorical) — they all 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐛 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐧, leading to anxiety, palpitations, or even that wired-but-tired feeling you get after three coffees & one breakdown⁣
⁣

💔 Feeling easily overwhelmed or “not yourself”⁣

“The Pill fixes everything!” said every doctor ever… until your period ghosted you, your libido left the chat & your emotions turned into a rollercoaster no one asked to ride 🎢💊⁣
⁣
Let’s talk about 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘪𝘭𝘭 — that little tablet of hormonal chaos disguised as empowerment⁣
⁣
Western medicine often hands it out like a Band-Aid for every female issue: acne? Pill. Painful periods? Pill. Irregular cycles? Pill. Breathing? Sure, have the Pill 🙃⁣
⁣
But here’s the kicker: it doesn’t 𝘧𝘪𝘹 your hormones — it 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮 𝘰𝘧𝘧⁣
⁣
In 𝗪𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐬, the Pill suppresses ovulation, alters your natural hormone rhythms & replaces them with synthetic versions. That means your “period” on the Pill isn’t even a real period — it’s a withdrawal bleed, a fake performance orchestrated by fake hormones 🎭⁣
⁣
Side effects? Oh, just a casual list of mood swings, bloating, nutrient depletion (especially B vitamins, magnesium, zinc), low libido, digestive upset & that mysterious “I just don’t feel like myself anymore” vibe⁣
⁣
Now, from a 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞, the Pill is basically 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘥, 𝘋𝘢𝘮𝘱 & 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘦. ❄️💧⁣
⁣
It blocks the natural flow of Qi & Blood, especially in the Liver & Spleen systems — the very organs responsible for hormone balance, mood & digestion⁣
⁣
Over time, this creates patterns like:⁣
🌿 Liver Qi Stagnation (hello, PMS rage & mood swings)⁣
🌿 Spleen Qi Deficiency (bloating, fatigue, sugar cravings)⁣
🌿 Blood Deficiency or Cold in the Uterus (leading to fertility issues & painful periods once you stop the Pill)⁣
⁣
When you come off it & your body’s like, “Wait, what’s a cycle again?” — that’s your Qi trying to remember how to function naturally⁣
⁣
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩:⁣
✨ Acupuncture & herbs help restore the natural flow of Qi & Blood⁣
✨ They warm the uterus, nourish the Liver & Spleen & gently wake your body up from its hormonal nap⁣
✨ TCM doesn’t just suppress symptoms — it helps your body 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘳𝘩𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘮 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯⁣

🚨 If you’re always tired, freezing, peeing every five minutes, or your libido has gone on permanent holiday… your 𝘒𝘪𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘺𝘴 might be crying for help (& not the ones in your anatomy textbook)⁣
⁣
In 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞, your 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲𝐬 aren’t just about filtering water — oh no, they’re your 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞 (𝐉𝐢𝐧𝐠)⁣
⁣
They run the show for your 𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬, 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 & 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞 (yep, shaky knees much?)⁣
⁣
Think of your Kidneys like your internal battery pack 🔋 — if you’re running on low, you’ll feel it in every cell⁣
⁣
How do we 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘥 them? Not with coffee (sorry) — but with foods that restore that deep, juicy, primal Kidney energy⁣
⁣

⁣
🥣 Black sesame seeds, goji berries, seaweed, duck, tofu, eggs, bone broth, mulberries, walnuts, pears & Chinese yam⁣

Think hydration 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭 — these foods replenish & cool your system⁣
⁣
🔥 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐘𝐚𝐧𝐠 (𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦, 𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐲, 𝐠𝐞𝐭-𝐮𝐩-&-𝐠𝐨 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲):⁣

If you’re always cold, sluggish, or your libido needs jump-starting — these bring the 🔥 back⁣
⁣
🍲 Lamb, prawns, chicken, walnuts, chestnuts, cinnamon, garlic, leeks, ginger & black pepper⁣
⁣
Basically, cozy winter meals that make you feel like you have a pulse again⁣
⁣
⚖️ 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 + 𝐐𝐢 (𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬):⁣
⁣
These are your long-game foods — the slow cookers of vitality.⁣
🍄 Bone broth, black rice, mushrooms (shiitake, reishi, cordyceps), dark leafy greens, oysters, black beans & sesame seeds⁣
⁣
Dark foods = Kidney food.⁣

Okay, before you roll your eyes — no, I don’t mean you need to strap a hot water bottle to your pants forever (though… it wouldn’t hurt). But if you’ve been told your fertility is “unexplained” or your period pain is “just part of being a woman,” Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) might have a little 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳 insight for you⁣
⁣
Let’s unpack this frosty little fertility secret⁣
⁣
🌡️ 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰:⁣
⁣
In TCM, a “cold uterus” isn’t a metaphor — it’s a 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. Cold can invade the uterus from lifestyle habits like:⁣
⁣
🥶 Too much ice water⁣
🥗 Raw salads on repeat⁣
🦶 Walking barefoot on cold floors⁣
💨 Living under the tyranny of your air conditioner⁣
⁣
When cold lodges in the uterus, it slows blood flow & constricts vessels⁣
⁣
Translation: your womb is basically wearing a winter coat when she should be strutting in a summer dress⁣
⁣
Symptoms can include:⁣
❄️ Painful periods (especially with dark clots)⁣
❄️ Feeling cold easily — especially feet & lower belly⁣
❄️ Difficulty conceiving⁣
❄️ Low libido or fatigue around ovulation⁣
⁣
When your uterus is “cold,” the lining may not be as welcoming to implantation & blood flow to the ovaries can be sluggish. Eggs don’t mature optimally, and the uterine lining isn’t quite the plush velvet couch embryos want to snuggle into⁣
⁣
🧬 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐚 𝗪𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰:⁣
⁣
Western medicine doesn’t officially diagnose a “cold uterus,” but it does acknowledge things that sound 𝘴𝘶𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘭𝘺 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘳 — 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐜 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚, 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐢𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬, or 𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, all of which can impact fertility⁣

✨ "𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝… 𝐈𝐭 𝗪𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭" ✨⁣
⁣
Let’s get real: the large intestine is basically the body’s garbage man. Western medicine sees it as the final stop for your food journey—absorbing water, compacting waste & yes, rolling out the red carpet for your daily poo parade. Not glamorous, but hey, 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘢 𝘥𝘰 𝘪𝘵 🚽💩⁣
⁣
But TCM? Oh, we give the large intestine a 𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺. It’s not just about taking out the trash—it’s about 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨. Physically & emotionally. Can’t p**p? You’re probably holding on to more than just last night’s nachos. Resentment? Grudges? That one thing your ex said in 2014? Yup, your large intestine remembers 🙃⁣
⁣
💡 𝗪𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰:⁣
When things go wrong—think constipation, IBS, bloating, diarrhea—Western medicine usually zooms in on diet, hydration, fiber, gut bacteria, or medication. All valid! But sometimes you’re left with a “just deal with it” vibe⁣
⁣
🌿 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰:⁣
In TCM, the large intestine is the yang partner to the Lung. Together they’re the "front desk team" of your body—taking in fresh air (Lung) & escorting out old junk (Large Intestine). If this system is out of whack, you might see not just bathroom drama but skin issues, immunity dips, fatigue, or emotional constipation (yes, it’s a thing)⁣
⁣
✨ 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬:⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Gives your gut a wake-up call & smooths the flow of Qi so things… move⁣
⁣
𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞: Think gentle movers, not harsh laxatives⁣
⁣
𝐃𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲: Warm, cooked foods to strengthen digestion & avoid turning your intestines into an icebox⁣
⁣
𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝-𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞: Teaching your system the fine art of release—physically & emotionally⁣
⁣
👉 Next time you’re stuck on the porcelain throne or clinging to emotional baggage like it’s vintage Gucci, remember: your large intestine isn’t just processing yesterday’s lunch—it’s helping you move through life⁣

But before you panic-Google & cut out half your fridge, let’s talk about what foods can actually 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘱 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘮 𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯—with a little help from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)⁣
⁣
👩‍⚕️ 𝗪𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞:⁣
Histamine is your body’s messenger. It’s involved in immune reactions, gut function & even acts as a neurotransmitter. But when you’ve got too much, you get headaches, itchy skin, bloating, runny nose & that “I might be allergic to life” vibe⁣
⁣
The usual advice? Avoid high-histamine foods like aged cheeses, wine, smoked meats & fermented goodies. (So… say goodbye to your charcuterie board dreams)⁣
⁣
🌿 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞:⁣
TCM doesn’t use the word “histamine,” but it 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 talk about 𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 & a body out of balance⁣
⁣
Histamine overload = leaky pipe situation: too much Dampness (bloating, phlegm, heavy limbs) + Heat (itching, redness, headaches)⁣
⁣
TCM focuses on strengthening your 𝐒𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐧 & 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫, moving stuck Qi & draining Dampness—basically, turning down the internal drama so you can enjoy life again⁣
⁣
🥦 𝐓𝐂𝐌-𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:⁣
⁣
𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐯𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬: zucchini, bok choy, broccoli, lettuce → Cooling, drain Dampness⁣
⁣
𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡 → Gentle, easy on digestion⁣
⁣
𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐚, 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭 → Strengthen Spleen, calm chaos⁣
⁣
𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 & 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐬 → Cooling, moistening, reduce Heat⁣
⁣
𝐆𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 & 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐚 → Move Qi, reduce inflammation, calm tummy⁣
⁣
𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘩 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘣𝘴: coriander, parsley → Detox, clear Dampness⁣
⁣
Meanwhile, TCM politely side-eyes rich, fermented, spicy, or alcohol-heavy foods—aka the party foods that tend to set histamine off⁣

⁣
Let’s talk 𝘣𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨. You know, that fun surprise where you wake up with abs (ok fine, “ab”) & by evening you look 6 months pregnant with twins made of sourdough bread⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 🥼:⁣
Western medicine often blames bloating on diet (hello beans, dairy, gluten, fizzy drinks), IBS, food intolerances, or sluggish digestion. Basically, the gut microbiome throws a frat party, gas builds up & your belly pays the price. Western treatments usually involve elimination diets, probiotics, peppermint capsules, or—let’s be honest—unbuttoning your jeans after dinner⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 🌿:⁣
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, bloating isn’t just “too many lentils.” It’s usually about an imbalance in your 𝐒𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐐𝐢 (your digestion’s power source) or 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐐𝐢 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (stress messing with your gut flow)⁣
⁣
If your Spleen Qi is weak, your body struggles to transform food into usable energy → hello dampness, heaviness & bloat⁣
⁣
If your Liver Qi is stuck (stress, emotions, overthinking), it can bully the Spleen & create digestive chaos⁣
⁣
In other words: your gut isn’t just “bad at bread”—it’s cranky because your inner energy managers aren’t playing nice.⁣
⁣
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 🙌:⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: calms the gut, moves Qi, reduces stress (so you don’t eat your feelings in the form of an entire pizza)⁣
⁣
𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐬: formulas like Bao He Wan or Ping Wei San can support digestion & reduce dampness (aka internal water retention & sluggishness)⁣
⁣
𝐃𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐬: warm, cooked foods are your friend; avoid raw, cold, or greasy stuff that weakens your Spleen Qi. Think soup, not ice cream⁣
⁣
𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞: stress management = less Liver Qi bullying. More breathwork, less doomscrolling⁣
⁣
✨ The bottom line: Western medicine says “watch your diet,” TCM says “watch your Qi.” Either way, your stomach shouldn’t feel like an overinflated beach ball after every meal⁣

⁣
We love coffee. Coffee loves us. But when it comes to making babies… coffee might be that toxic ex—fun, exciting, but leaving your reproductive system crying in the bathroom⁣
⁣
🚨 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝗪𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐰𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧⁣
⁣
Coffee = caffeine = stimulation. Great for staying awake in meetings that should’ve been emails. But when it comes to fertility? Not so great⁣
⁣
𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧: Too much caffeine can mess with estrogen levels, delay ovulation & increase miscarriage risk if overdone⁣
⁣
𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐧: High caffeine intake has been linked to lower s***m quality, DNA damage & motility issues (aka, the little swimmers get lazy)⁣
⁣
The irony? That morning cup meant to wake 𝘺𝘰𝘶 up could be slowing your fertility down⁣
⁣
🌿 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞⁣
⁣
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, coffee is like throwing petrol on a fire. Sure, it gives you an instant spark, but it burns up your Yin & Essence—the juicy, nourishing substances that eggs & s***m 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 to thrive⁣
⁣
Coffee overstimulates Yang, dries out Yin & scatters Qi. Translation: your body is running on fumes instead of deep reserves⁣
⁣
For women, this can mean poor egg quality, irregular cycles & depleted blood⁣
⁣
For men, it translates to overheated s***m, lower vitality & reduced Jing (your fertility bank account)⁣
⁣
Basically, coffee is that friend who hypes you up for a night out but leaves you broke, hungover & wondering why you agreed in the first place⁣
⁣
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩⁣
⁣
Don’t worry—I’m not here to take away 𝘢𝘭𝘭 your joys in life. (Just some of them 😜). TCM is about balance, not punishment⁣
⁣
𝐀𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 helps regulate hormones, improve blood flow to the ovaries & te**es & calm the nervous system so you don’t need to run on caffeine fumes⁣
