🍂 Inspiration, taking in new ideas and concepts, letting go of what isn’t needed is pivotal to the Metal Element - the Element associated with Autumn🍂

In Five Element Acupuncture, I treat according to the seasons, elements and related organs 🙌
The respiratory system (taking in through breath) and the colon (letting go of what isn’t needed!) are the Metal associated organs.
It’s fascinating that this largely translates to the immune system (defence of lungs and skin) and the gut health. Chinese Medicine knew about this important link, 2,500 years ago!
When I’m treating the Metal Element I’m always thinking about the closely linked Earth Element (the digestive system)

Metal time is for nurturing these organs and caring for our immune systems for the Winter months ahead.

Ways to do this include:

💧 Hydrate - Metal time is drying and we require more water
💤 Extra Sleep - going to bed an hour earlier
🥘 Dietary improvements - reduce sugar and processed food.
💆🏽‍♀️ Acupuncture - Balance the flow of Qi, nourish organs and ‘let go’ of stuck emotions
🧘‍♀️ Yoga and Qi Gong - breath work encourages a healthy respiratory system

I’ve been away from social media for a while, spending the first half term putting down roots and moving house, perfect time for nourishing my Earth. Now, Metal time is the time for new inspirations so look out for a new clinic space coming soon! 💫

Have the summer holidays left you frazzled? 🥴 With the kids going back to school, it’s so important as a parent to take some time to recharge your elements: Heart ❤️ Liver 💚 Spleen 💛 Kidney 🖤 Lung 💙

Give yourself a day to recharge, relax and reconnect with yourself before heading straight back into the daily grind. What’s your perfect “you day”?

How are the holidays almost over? 😭 We’ve loved our first summer on the south coast. There’s lots to do here outdoors and one of my boys’ faves is South Coast Skate Club 🛹 They do a free class on weekend mornings at 8am but check their FB page for meet up confirmation.

It’s such a positive thing to do for kids - essential childhood risk-taking and confidence building - sprained wrists and ankles no problem for us with acupuncture 😂

Dale’s doing it for the love of it with the ultimate goal to get funding to build a new indoor park round here, which my boys would love. Please show some support and come down to the meets, make some new friends and get your kids into a new sport and family! ✌🏻

Did you look after yourself this weekend? It’s so easy to muddle through juggling kids, relationships, holidays, work... LIFE! But it all takes its toll on YOU. Make yourself a priority because if you don’t look after yourself, you won’t be able to look after anyone else. 💕

In Chinese medicine, we try to help patients achieve universal balance with the ideal being the perfect balance of yin and yang energies ☯️ The good news is nature helps provide this! 🙌🏻 Summer is rich in yang energy, so it’s important to maintain that balance.

Eating vibrant summer fruits - berries, mango, pineapple and watermelon - that are rich in yin energy are a simple and delicious way to keep our internal balance.

This weekend, if you’re running around after kids on the beach or just enjoying time in the garden with family and friends over the bank holiday, please be sure to munch on these fruits and keep your balance! 🍓🍒🥭🍍🍉

My secret to summer skin is out and now is the perfect time to work on it 💫 Some call the skin the ‘third lung’ because, let’s face it (pardon the pun), your skin does scientifically breathe!

Acupuncture treats the whole person, so it stands to reason your skin will benefit. Some call the skin the ‘third lung’ because, let’s face it (excuse the shameless pun!), your skin does scientifically breathe!

Heavenly yoga session today left me feeling like this person! 🧘🏻‍♀️ Not bad for halfway through the school hols!!!

There is no substitute for attending a class, despite best efforts for self care at home... the space it creates is much more profound 🙌🏻

While summer has temporarily vanished, why not book that acupuncture treatment you’ve been planning. You’ll feel calm and renewed whatever the weather!

Wow, it’s been pretty breezy out there this weekend! 🌬 As relative newbies to living on the South Coast, we’re adjusting to the coastal extremes. How does the Wind make you feel?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) the Wind is seen as a pathogen that penetrates the body through the skin and pores, particularly around the back of the neck. If you have a condition or pain that surfaces in different areas of the body and moves around, it may be that Wind lodged in your system. Frequent coughs can be caused by Wind too. Acupuncture helps eliminate Wind conditions, I use a lot of Cupping to treat patients with these conditions.

If you do love going out in the Wind then stay wrapped up - it can be deceptive!
