As the days become longer and the sun is beginning to peak out from behind the clouds the Earth is reminding us that we are in a time of rebirth. Daffodils are in full bloom in the countryside and the early signs of Spring are noticeable everywhere we look. As the seasons change, so must we. Adapting our diet with the change of seasons is the cornerstone of health and longevity.

The Year of the Yang Fire Horse and why Chinese Astrology could predict England winning this year's FIFA World Cup.

Today marks the world famous Chinese Spring Festival and the beginning of the Lunar New Year.
The Chinese calendar works as a sexagenary cycle, also known as the gānzhī (干支) which has been used for thousands of years to record time in 60 year cycles.
Each year within a 60 year cycle is a rotation of the Chinese Zodiac (known as the Earthly branches) of the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
The 10 Heavenly stems are an ancient way of the Chinese describing cycles of energy and change which correspond to the Yin/Yang energies of the Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water elements.

This year marks the Year of the Yang Fire Horse - the last time this happened? 1966 - when England won the World Cup.
According to Chinese astrology, these 60 year cycles don't necessarily repeat themselves, but they do “rhyme” thanks to their energetic signature.

Yang Fire Horse years are known for their explosive, fierce momentum. The archetype of a Horse is that it is reliable, strong, fast, intelligent and powerful. This means that this year is a good year to decide to take risks, move forward with ideas, start a new business, make big decisions and encourage growth.
However, a Horse is a “Fire animal”so along with it being a “Fire” and “Yang”year we are set for a triple Fire year. Chinese medicine balances the archetype of Fire with “Water”. This means that this year it is important to remain calm, balanced, grounded, introspective so that healthy relationships and boundaries can be maintained in what will be an emotionally and politically charged year.

If you are interested in helping yourself manage your physical, psychological and energetic health then please feel free to contact me.

This is such a simple and satisfying tea to make in the evening after dinner to prepare for rest and sleep. Red jujube dates (Dà zǎo - 大枣) and longan fruit berry (Lóng yǎn - 龙眼肉) work perfectly together as a Heart and Mind soother to instruct the body to prepare for rest and relaxations.
Both of these herbs are used traditionally to build Blood, strengthen immunity, reduce fatigue, reduce palpitations, calm anxiety and lift the mood. They are both warming herbs and are beneficial to take all year around. They are especially useful for menstruating, post menopausal and postpartum women. Other ingredients such as ginger and goji berries can also be added to this tea to fortify their benefits, however, this evening we’re keeping it simple.

I had to leave the house quickly this morning but woke up needing some nourishment to begin my day. I made a chicken stock yesterday which I used for this recipe.
The meal is called egg drop soup. It takes 10 minutes to make and is super easy. All you need in good quality chicken broth, toasted sesame seed oil, cornflour slurry and tamari. I didn’t have chives or spring onion in the fridge but if i did I would have sprinkled on top.
This meal is a nutritional powerhouse. Full of the chickens essence, collagen, protein, all of the amino acids and high vibration energy. If you want to give it a try let me know if you want the recipe.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and should be eaten between 7am-9am as this is when the Stomach is strongest and most able to digest your food in a healthy and balanced way. Skipping breakfast or intermittent fasting raises cortisol the stress hormone in the body and long term depletes the Spleen and Earth element function so it is imperative you eat during this window if you want sustained energy for the day.

One of the most common questions that I get when I treat patients is how often they should come to me for acupuncture treatment so I thought I'd give a breakdown of what I'd recommend depending on the situation.

2 times a week - I would only advise this during an acute injury or if there was severe pain or discomfort, for example multiple cluster headaches, a sprain or during severe emotional pain. In China, they would treat these conditions daily but 2-3 times a week is enough.

Weekly - if you have a chronic condition that is causing daily symptoms of discomfort then I would recommend weekly treatment as a sensible option for you to manage your symptoms.

Bi-weekly - If you have moderate pain, mild symptoms or your recovering from an injury or illness but you're not fully healed yet then bi-weekly treatments would suit your needs.

Monthly - I call this the "maintenance" choice. You have nothing of immediate concern that is bothering you but you are open to fine tuning your energetic system so that your defences are shielded from illness and imbalances.

As needed - There is no regular schedule here, you come to visit for a treatment as needed, maybe you're usually healthy but require support to get over a bad cold or you need to ensure your sleep is good before an upcoming exam. Having acupuncture in these situations means that you are prepared for whatever is coming next.

The final post on the series of the energetic functioning of the alchemical process of pregnancy and gestation.
The entirety of the human race originates in the womb of the Mother. It is a sacred and divinely conceived portal of life that is beyond comprehension. I hope for anyone has been interested in this learnt some of the ancient Daoist and Chinese Medicine ideas behind this process. Next up….Chakras - which aren’t what you think they are!

This is the penultimate post of this series of understanding the TCM energetics of childbirth. We've dived deep into the ancient spiritual Chinese understanding of the most miraculous form of alchemy that has ever existed - gestation of a newborn child!

Final 48 hours!

For a short period of time up until the 3rd February (when Li Chun (立春) begins) I am offering a 20% discount on all first appointment bookings for treatments that include;
Acupuncture and moxibustion
Cupping
Gua Sha
Chinese Dietary advice
Yang Sheng Fa (Chinese healthy living principles)

This means that the £50 first appointment booking fee will be £40 for any appointments scheduled between now and the 3rd February (the appointment can occur after this date)

As we approach February there is a quiet shift taking place that our own culture and the Chinese culture recognised and celebrated.
In the Celtic calendar, on Sunday we celebrate “Imbolc”, the moment in time where the first glimpse of Spring begins to reveal itself (although the signs are a little early this year!)

In Chinese Medicine, a few days after “Imbolc” we enter Li Chun (立春), which is the start of Spring when the Liver and Wood energy comes to the surface.

Spring is a time of year where people often feel a strange mixture of tiredness, stress, restlessness, illness, digestive issues and a sense of feeling stuck. This is because as the Liver system begins to dominate our emotions flow, hormones rise and our Minds “wake up” from the slumber of Winter.

Seasonal acupuncture considers this transition in our environment as an opportunity to plan and move forward into this new chapter with clarity, gentleness and attention.

If you want to take advantage of understanding your health more clearly from a Chinese Medicine perspective, this is the time to do it. Contact me to book, or with any questions!

Mobile appointments available upon request.
