Period pain is common but it is NOT normal. Period.

Chinese medicine, as many other traditional systems, view period pain as a sign of imbalance that needs to be corrected, not ignored.

Chinese medicine has an array of techniques that can be used for period pain, from acupuncture to moxibustion, Chinese herbal preparations, food therapy, gentle movements of Qigong or massage.

PAINFUL PERIODS? PREMENSTRUAL SYMPTOMS? This happens to most women at one point or another, but for too many, those symptoms are the norm. Chinese medicine offers tools to get to the root cause of the problem, but there are easy simple steps you can implement that may help with PMS and period pain relief:

1. Heat: Applying a hot water bottle, or better yet a moxa stick or using a moxa box onto your lower abdomen can help relax the muscles and alleviate cramps. If you have questions about moxa or need a moxa box and moxa, you can buy them from me at my clinic.

2. Exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity, such as light aerobic exercises or yoga, can help relieve menstrual pain by increasing blood circulation and releasing endorphins.

3. Herbal remedies: Some herbal teas, such as chamomile, ginger, or peppermint, are believed to have pain-relieving properties.

4. Dietary adjustments: Eating a balanced diet that includes anti-inflammatory foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish and nuts) may help reduce menstrual pain. Also: REDUCE SUGAR AND PROCESSED FOODS!!

5. Essential oils: Certain essential oils, like lavender, clary sage, or peppermint, when diluted and applied topically or used in aromatherapy, may provide relief from menstrual cramps. Essential oils have become fashionable but should be used following guidelines from a trained professional. Hearing how you can make your own ingestable capsules with essential oils makes me cringe. You can burn mucosal lining, and similarly irritate your skin when used topically, your eyes when used in the environment so USE WITH CARE.

6. Stress reduction techniques: Stress can exacerbate menstrual pain, so practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or mindfulness can help alleviate discomfort.

7. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can be very helpful to regulate hormones. Get in touch for a free 15-minute consultation 🙂📞

Winter in Chinese medicine is associated to the Water element and the Kidney organ system and meridian. The kidneys are a little bit like our original power reserves, two bean-shaped batteries tucked in your lower back. They quietly power your energy, sleep, fertility, libido and even regulate the ageing process. It is especially beneficial to care for our inner batteries in the winter and help them recharge through quiet practices like yin yoga, tai chi or qigong, meditation, longer sleeps, more rest, food like black beans and lentils, warm hydrating soups and stews, warming spices. Last but not least, keep your lower back warm!

According to Chinese medicine the Kidney meridian and its associated functions affect your health in many ways. Here is how to spot some of the signs:

☯ Strong & healthy hair: Chinese medicine connects it to an abundance of kidney essence and blood. Premature graying, hair loss, or brittle, coarse hair can indicate a deficiency.

☯ Strong bones & teeth: the Kidneys are said to “govern bones” and are fundamentally linked to the health and strength of your bones and teeth as well as the production of bone marrow. Brittle bones or teeth are a sign of weak Kidney energy.

☯ Good hearing: the Kidneys are said to “opens into the ears” and influences hearing and auditory function. Hearing loss, tinnitus are often linked to Kidney imbalances.

☯ Reproduction: Chinese medicine´s Kidney function aligns with modern understanding of the endocrine system, particularly the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and adrenal glands, governing reproduction and stress response.

☯ Adequate energy levels: the kidneys are considered the "Root of Life" and the foundation of your vitality.

☯ Determination: In Chinese Medicine, the Kidney houses the Zhi / Willpower (Zhi). A strong determination, courage, and the deep drive to live reflect balanced Kidneys.

These signs, tied to the Water element of Winter, remind us to nurture our Kidney for overall well-being.

Got your beauty sleep last night?

Did you know that the skin makes new collagen while you sleep? It is the time when the body repairs itself, and collagen is one of the building blocks of tissue repair. In fact plenty of functions that ensure best functioning of your body (tissue repair but also hormone health or immunity) happen when you sleep.

So Hit the snooze button and get plenty of sleep this weekend! 😴
