Mapping your path to health with the healing powers of Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture.

11/03/2026

Liver Qi Stagnation is a common diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is associated with various physical and emotional symptoms. It is one of the most common imbalances I see in my patients. Due to our busy, overloaded lifestyles, the Liver is the most affected organ system in the body.

Emotional Symptoms include:

- Anger, Irritability or moodiness,
- Depression or anxiety,
- Frequent sighing,

Physical Symptoms include:

- Abdominal bloating, poor digestion,
- Pain or discomfort along the sides of the body,
- Irregular or painful menstruation in women,
- Breast tenderness,
- Headaches or migraines, especially those triggered by stress,
- Blurred vision, floaters

Acupuncture is an effective treatment to remove stagnation and promote the smooth flow of Qi throughout the Liver. Eating foods that support the Liver and making lifestyle changes can really benefit the way you feel everyday. If you would like to know more or book in for a treatment to address any imbalances you may have, then please message me - I would love to help 🙏🏻

Spring in Traditional Chinese Medicine is all about the Liver.

If you’ve been noticing things like:

• tight shoulders or stiff muscles
• red, dry or sore eyes
• blurry vision or floaters
• irritability or feeling easily frustrated
• tension building in the body

your Liver Qi may be struggling to move smoothly.

In TCM, the Liver is responsible for the smooth flow of Qi (energy) throughout the body.
When this movement becomes restricted, the body can start to feel tight, inflamed, tense or emotionally overwhelmed.

The Liver also opens into the eyes and controls the tendons and connective tissue, which is why eye symptoms, muscle tightness and strains often show up when the Liver needs support.

The good news is that acupuncture is one of the most powerful ways to help regulate the Liver system and restore smooth flow.

And spring is the perfect time to support it.

✨ Your Liver loves acupuncture.

If you recognised yourself in some of these signs, your body might be asking for a reset.

Save this post for later and book in if your system needs support.

Endometriosis can affect so much more than just the menstrual cycle — it can impact energy, digestion, mood and overall quality of life. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, endometriosis is often linked to blood stagnation, inflammation and disrupted flow of Qi, particularly in the Liver and pelvic area. Acupuncture works to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, regulate hormones and calm the nervous system, which can help ease pain, support more regular cycles and improve overall wellbeing. Many women find that alongside medical care, acupuncture offers a gentle yet powerful way to support the body and feel more in control of their symptoms.

If you’re struggling with endometriosis and looking for natural ways to support your body, acupuncture may help. If you’d like to learn more about how treatment can support you, feel free to get in touch or book a consultation. 💛

Sometimes feeling heavy, foggy or flat isn’t about willpower — it’s about imbalance.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dampness is a common pattern I see in clinic when digestion and energy start to slow. It can leave you feeling weighed down in your body and unclear in your mind, even when you’re trying to do all the “right” things. The good news is that this pattern is something we can gently work with. When we support digestion, restore flow and bring warmth back into the system, energy often begins to feel lighter and clearer again.

If this resonated with you, save this post for later — and tell me in the comments, did you relate more to the body signs or the mind signs?

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, goji berries, known as gou qi zi, are highly valued for their health-promoting properties. Here are some of the benefits of goji berries according to TCM:

Goji berries are believed to nourish the yin of the liver and kidneys. Yin deficiency can lead to symptoms such as dry eyes, blurry vision, dizziness, and tinnitus.

Goji berries are considered a blood tonic. They help to replenish and enrich the blood, which is beneficial for those experiencing symptoms of blood deficiency such as pale complexion, fatigue, dizziness, and menstrual irregularities.

In TCM, the liver is closely connected to eye health. By nourishing and tonifying the liver, goji berries help improve vision and alleviate eye conditions like dry eyes and blurred vision.

Goji berries are said to benefit the kidneys by tonifying and supporting their function. This is particularly important in TCM, as the kidneys are considered the root of vitality and longevity. Improved kidney function can lead to enhanced vitality and overall well-being.

Goji berries have moistening properties that are beneficial for the lungs. They can help alleviate dry coughs and dry throat, which are often associated with lung dryness.

Goji berries are believed to enhance the body’s immune response by tonifying the spleen, which in TCM is crucial for a strong immune system. This can help protect against illnesses and promote overall health.

I eat goji berries every day to support my liver - I put them on my breakfast, make them into tea and eat them alongside a handful of nuts. Put them on your shopping list this week and give these little chewy gems a try 😋

As we gently leave behind the Year of the Snake, we’re invited to reflect on what we are ready to shed. Like a snake shedding its skin, this transition is about letting go of heaviness, outdated habits or beliefs.

Now we move into the Year of the Fire Horse — an energy that feels brighter, more expressive and forward-moving. The horse represents freedom, vitality and momentum, while fire brings passion, warmth and courage. This shift encourages us to step forward with confidence, but also to stay grounded so we don’t burn too brightly too quickly. It’s a beautiful time to reconnect with purpose, creativity and movement, while honouring the need for balance and restoration along the way.

As we enter this more energetic phase, protecting your energy becomes especially important. Create small daily rituals that help you stay centred — gentle movement, warm nourishing foods, mindful breathing, or simply giving yourself moments of stillness between activities. Notice where your energy feels supported and where it feels drained. Set soft boundaries, prioritise rest, and remember that true vitality comes not from doing more, but from moving in rhythm with your body. Let this new year be less about pushing forward and more about moving with intention, warmth and self-kindness

Eczema is rarely just about the skin.

When we calm the nervous system, support digestion and restore balance internally… the skin often follows.

In December I met a lovely 18 year old who was struggling with eczema, topical steroid withdrawal, anxiety and poor sleep. She responded to treatment very well and is feeling so much better - I have been thrilled with the results and it’s great to receive such positive feedback.

Be kind to yourself.
Healing takes support.
