🎄🤶🎄🤶🎄🤶🎄🤶🎄🤶🎄
I didn’t take many photos at the Bawtry Christmas Event today (and they are not the greatest pictures😁) — just a few glimpses of sparkling windows and beautifully decorated doorways — but the whole morning felt like stepping into a storybook. 🎄✨
The town was waking up slowly, shop owners putting the final touches on their festive displays, stalls opening one by one, the air full of that quiet excitement that only December brings.
After a week of cold rain, the sun returned just in time, pouring golden light over everything and making Bawtry look idyllic — almost enchanted. ☀️✨
Walking through it all, I felt a deep gratitude for this community… and for the simple fact that Liet Clinic gets to exist right here, surrounded by such warmth, care, and festive spirit. ❤️

✨ Interesting findings✨

EBA has just highlighted a new analysis exploring acupuncture’s potential role in supporting diabetes-related obesity. The review covered 104 papers, with key acupoints such as RN12, ST25, and ST36, and outcomes including fasting blood glucose, BMI, and triglycerides.
It’s encouraging to see more research emerging in this area and how acupuncture may support metabolic health alongside conventional care.
This topic arrives at the perfect time, as we’ve already begun early conversations about developing a dedicated diabetes clinic, with other local healthcare businesses here in Bawtry— such as Bawtry Podiatry Clinic (Bawtry Foot clinic) — to create a well-rounded, multidisciplinary approach. 💛

When practitioners get a little time together, we don’t just talk—we treat, learn, and recharge each other.
Such a lovely experience having Saoirse .acupuncture treat me in my own room today. 🥰

🍂 Autumn Nourishment — Finding Balance as the Seasons Change 🍂

I made this butternut squash soup over the weekend — with homemade rye bread croutons, walnuts, basil, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil from the first September harvest of green olives. Early harvest oils are naturally rich in polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and support overall vitality — a perfect match for this time of year.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, early autumn marks the transition from the nurturing energy of late summer (Spleen and Stomach) to the protective energy of autumn (Lungs and Kidneys).

It’s the season to nourish and strengthen — supporting digestion, immunity, and the body’s ability to adapt to cooler, drier weather.

Warming, cooked foods with healthy oils, nuts, and seasonal vegetables help preserve internal moisture and support the immune system.

Acupuncture can further assist by harmonising the Spleen and Lung Qi, helping you stay balanced and resilient as we move toward winter.

✨ This is a beautiful time to slow down, eat with awareness, and nurture your energy for the months ahead.

✨ We couldn’t agree more! ✨

A regulated nervous system really is the new success.

I often tell my patients: “If nothing else, acupuncture will help your nervous system drop into that calm ‘rest and digest’ state — and that alone brings a profound sense of wellbeing.”

Regular treatments give your body the reminder it needs to reset, rebalance, and thrive. 🪡💆‍♀️

👉 How do you measure your success — and is this the kind of success you’re chasing?

Real success isn’t about hustle until burnout—it’s about peace, balance, and a body that feels safe to rest. Protect your nervous system, and you protect your future.

📸 A behind-the-scenes look at how I work in clinic.
When I carry out tongue diagnosis, I often take a quick photo (with the patient’s consent) to keep in their file. This allows me to:
Track subtle changes over time
Compare before and after treatment progress
Spot patterns that may not be obvious in a single consultation
Combined with pulse diagnosis and case history, tongue diagnosis is one of the most valuable tools I use to understand the whole person — not just their symptoms.
💡 Healing is a journey, and every detail matters.

✨ Cherishing Ourselves ✨
I often remind my patients that true healing and well-being are rooted in how we cherish ourselves — not only through treatments, but in the daily choices we make. I always say: it’s okay to “fall off the wagon” sometimes, as long as we climb back on as soon as we can.
I’ll admit, even with all the knowledge I’ve gathered, I still find it a challenge to be perfectly linear and disciplined in my own changes. But over the past 10 years, persistence and consistency — more than perfection — have allowed me to accumulate countless benefits for my health and well-being.
Peter Deadman’s latest blog beautifully echoes this truth, drawing on the wisdom of Sun Simiao, one of China’s greatest physicians:
"Whenever people don't live out their lives, or life is cut short, it is always caused by not loving or cherishing themselves."
I invite you to take a few minutes to read his reflections. They’re a powerful reminder of why cherishing ourselves is not a luxury, but a necessity for a long and healthy life.
