Are Chinese herbs safe to take?

Yes — when prescribed correctly by a properly trained practitioner, Chinese herbs are very safe with adverse effects being extremely rare.

Quality and authenticity are key to safety. At Bonn Square Therapy Room, we use suppliers who meet the highest standards, in line with the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine (RCHM) guidelines. This ensures that every formula is made from carefully sourced, tested, and authenticated herbs.

Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) is a 2,000-year-old tradition still widely practised in China today — often alongside Western medicine. Its enduring popularity comes from its systematic, holistic approach and its ability to address the root cause of illness, not just the symptoms.

Like acupuncture, CHM is founded on the principles of Yin and Yang and works to restore the smooth flow of Qi (vital energy) throughout the body. Each prescription is tailored to your unique pattern of imbalance, helping to replenish, harmonise and strengthen your health.

Carrot & Coriander Soup for Digestive Qi.

This soothing recipe comes from Greg’s book, Chinese Dietary Wisdom — a wonderful resource for understanding how food can nourish your body and balance your Qi.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, carrots help strengthen the digestive energy (Qi) and prevent stagnation, while coriander gently moves Qi and supports healthy digestion.

Nourishing, warming, and full of flavour!

Ingredients:
🧅 1 onion, 2 cloves garlic
🥕 6 carrots, 2 potatoes
🍵 2–3 cups stock
🌿 15g fresh coriander
🍋 Zest of 1 lime

Simmer the vegetables for around 20 minutes, then blend with the coriander and lime zest until smooth. Serve with a spoonful of yoghurt for extra comfort.

Perfect for supporting your digestion and Qi flow this season 🧡

As the seasons shift, so should your self-care...

Autumn is the season of the Metal element in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Metal is all about clarity, reflection, and letting go — just as the trees release their leaves, it’s a time for us to release what we no longer need and make space for renewal. In TCM, Metal is linked with the Lungs and Large Intestine, which support both physical immunity and emotional balance.

Here are a few autumn self-care tips inspired by TCM:
🌬️ Support your lungs with deep breathing, fresh air, and gentle movement.
🥣 Eat warming, cooked foods like soups, stews, and root vegetables.
🍐 Moisten dryness with seasonal fruits such as pears and apples.
🕯️ Reflect and rest – autumn invites us to slow down and simplify.

By working to rebalance the body’s energy and support the underlying root cause of your symptoms, acupuncture can help with a wide range of issues including stress, sleep, digestion, hormones, and overall wellbeing.

At Bonn Square Therapy Room, our acupuncturists Greg and Mandy practise both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Element acupuncture — two complementary approaches that look at the whole person, not just the symptoms.

If you’ve been feeling a little off balance, acupuncture can help you get back to feeling yourself again.

Did you know that one of our very own practitioners is also a published author?

Greg, our acupuncturist and Chinese herbal medicine practitioner, has written 'Chinese Dietary Wisdom' — a practical and insightful guide to understanding nutrition through the lens of Chinese medicine.

In Chinese medicine, what you eat and drink isn’t just fuel — it’s central to how your body stays balanced and well. Greg’s book breaks down the core dietary principles used in clinic, explains the energetic qualities of different foods, and even includes easy, nourishing recipes to try at home.

Whether you're a patient, a practitioner, or simply curious about how Chinese medicine approaches diet and health, this is a fantastic resource.

When Greg’s not treating patients at the clinic, you’ll often find him in the kitchen — always exploring the deep connection between food, herbs, and healing.

Now we are in the thick of autumn, the energy around us shifts — and in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this is a crucial time to support the Lung and Spleen systems, which are particularly vulnerable during this season. Here’s why these small lifestyle adjustments matter:

🍲 Warming Meals
Cold or raw foods can weaken digestion — especially the Spleen, which prefers warmth. By switching to soups, stews and cooked veg, you’re supporting your digestive fire and helping your body absorb nutrients more effectively.

😴 Sleep Routine
As daylight hours decrease, our bodies naturally crave more rest. In TCM, aligning with the rhythms of nature helps conserve energy and strengthen immunity (known as Wei Qi). A regular sleep pattern allows your body to repair and reset, especially during this season of letting go and slowing down.

🧣 Wrap Up!
Wind is considered a carrier of illness in Chinese medicine — particularly Wind-Cold, which often enters through the neck and upper back. Wearing a scarf or layering up when the temperature drops is more than just cosy — it’s a way of protecting your body’s defensive energy and keeping seasonal bugs at bay.

This is a time for gentle transition, nourishment, and care.

If you feel like you need some xtra support, we're here for you.

Happy Autumn Equinox 🍂

As we shift into autumn, we also move into the Metal element in Chinese medicine — a season of letting go, refining, and re-aligning with what truly matters.

You might start to notice:
– A natural urge to slow down
– Heightened sensitivity or grief
– Changes in breathing, skin or immunity
– A need for more routine and reflection

Autumn invites us to clear out what we no longer need — physically, emotionally, and energetically — just like the trees dropping their leaves. It’s a powerful time to support the Lungs and Large Intestine (the organs connected to Metal) and nurture our body's natural defences.

Have you noticed any changes during this seasonal transition? Let us know 💬

17/09/2025

As we shift from summer to autumn, our bodies are adjusting too — and that can make us more vulnerable to seasonal colds, low energy, and feeling a bit out of balance.

In Chinese medicine and other natural health traditions, this is seen as a key time to strengthen your immune system and support your overall wellbeing.

It’s worth paying attention to how you feel as the weather cools and the days shorten — small changes now can make a big difference later.
