Deep Breathing but Still Feeling Low in Oxygen?
Your Body May Be Too Acidic

When someone takes deep breaths yet still feels “short of oxygen”, it can be a sign that the body’s internal environment is becoming too acidic.

B1 (Thiamine) has long been used to help rebalance this state, supporting energy production and oxygen utilisation.

Traditional ways to support acid–alkaline balance:
• Adding B1-rich foods (sunflower seeds, beans, whole grains).
• Reducing acidic lifestyle inputs such as stress, sugar, or alcohol.
• Gentle movement to improve oxygen flow.

Your body isn’t malfunctioning — it’s asking for support to restore balance.

**Frequent Yawning – Is Your Body Asking for More Iron?**

Yawning isn’t always about tiredness. When it becomes excessive, it can sometimes be a sign that the body is working harder to oxygenate itself.

Iron is essential for carrying oxygen in the blood. If levels are low, the body may encourage more yawning in an attempt to increase oxygen flow.

Traditional support includes:
• Increasing iron-rich foods (greens, liver, beetroot, spirulina).
• Supporting absorption with Vitamin C.
• Avoiding excess tea/coffee around meals.

It’s your body’s way of saying: “Help me breathe moreIt’s your body’s way of saying: “Help me breathe more efficiently.”
If you’ve been yawning more than usual, it may be worth exploring your iron status and overall energy pathways.

**Your Body Never Speaks Without Reason**

Your body is a remarkable messenger. Every twitch, craving, ache, or shift in energy is a signal guiding you back toward balance. Yet most of us rush past these whispers, assuming they’re random or insignificant.

Old remedies and traditional wisdom remind us that symptoms are rarely the enemy; they are simply feedback. When we nourish the body with what it needs, harmony often follows.

Over the next few posts, I’ll be sharing some of the most common signs your body uses to communicate — and the simple, time-tested ways you can support it.

Every symptom is a message.
Every message is an opportunity to heal.

If your body is speaking loudly right now and you’re unsure what it’s asking for, you’re welcome to book a free call. Let’s listen together.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)

What It Is:
CVI happens when the leg veins and their valves become too weak to push blood back to the heart. Blood pools in the lower legs, causing swelling, heaviness, pain, skin changes, varicose veins, and sometimes ulcers. CVI severity stages range from spider veins (C1) to skin changes and ulcers (C5–C6).

Natural Ways to Support CVI:
🌿 Movement + muscle pump support: Calf raises, walking, cycling, swimming.
🌿 Anti-inflammatory living: Reduce toxins and increase antioxidant-rich foods.
🌿 Lymphatic support: Dry brushing, rebounding, massage, hydration.
🌿 Herbal support for veins: Horse chestnut, gotu kola, butcher’s broom, and guggul for vascular integrity and inflammation reduction.
🌿 Compression when needed: Helps relieve swelling and pressure.

CVI doesn’t have to be a life sentence of discomfort. Let’s work together to gently restore flow, comfort, and vitality.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

What It Is:
DVT is a blood clot in the deep veins, usually in the leg. It can be silent or present as swelling, tenderness, warmth, or discoloration. A DVT can travel to the lungs and become a pulmonary embolism. Risks include immobility, surgery, smoking, hormones, infection, age, obesity, and genetic factors.

Holistic Support (Preventative Only):
✨ DVT symptoms need immediate medical care. Natural support focuses on lifestyle prevention:
🌿 Daily walking & lower-leg activation
🌿 Hydration + circulation-boosting herbs (ginger, guggul, turmeric, cayenne)
🌿 Healthy weight management to reduce vein pressure
🌿 Support for inflammation & vessel integrity (vitamin C, flavonoids, berries, leafy greens)
🌿 Breathwork: Enhances oxygenation and supports vascular tone.

If you have risk factors, let’s create a personalised circulation-supporting plan that works with your lifestyle.

Blood Clots (General)

What They Are:
Blood clots are gel-like masses formed when blood changes from liquid to semi-solid. They are vital for healing but harmful when forming unnecessarily. Complications include DVT, pulmonary embolism, stroke, and heart attack. Symptoms can include swelling, throbbing, chest pain, or breathlessness.

Holistic Support (Preventative Only):
✨ Always seek medical support with symptoms of a clot — these are medical emergencies.
For daily prevention and healthy circulation:
🌿 Stay mobile: Avoid long, stagnant periods. Even small movements on flights or at a desk help.
🌿 Hydration: Thick, dehydrated blood moves slower.
🌿 Anti-inflammatory diet: Turmeric, garlic, ginger, omega-3s, leafy greens.
🌿 Natural vessel support: Guggul has shown antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vascular support properties in research.

🌿 Manage stress: Stress hormones tighten blood vessels and slow circulation.

If circulation or clot risk concerns you, let’s take a comprehensive, natural look at your daily habits and health picture.

Varicose Veins

What They Are:
Varicose veins are large, twisted, bulging veins, usually in the legs, caused when the valves inside the veins weaken and allow blood to flow backwards and pool. Symptoms include heaviness, aching, itching, swelling, and night cramps.

🌿 Movement therapy: Walking, rebounding, yoga, and ankle rotations help pump blood back toward the heart.
🌿 Elevate your legs daily: Even 10 minutes reduces pressure and inflammation.
🌿 Herbal allies: Horse chestnut, butcher’s broom, gotu kola, and guggul to support vessel tone and healthy circulation.
