🪵The Tale Of Ms Guizhi Cinnamomi

🌿 Gui Zhi Tang 桂枝汤 – Classical Harmony for Body & Mind 🌿

Feeling weak, sensitive to wind, or constantly sweating for no clear reason? These may be signs of the Gui Zhi Tang syndrome — a constitutional imbalance where the body’s inner defences and nourishing energy are out of sync.

👩‍⚕️ Gui Zhi Tang, first recorded in the ancient text Shang Han Lun, a timeless herbal formula designed to:
✨ Harmonise defensive & nutritive Qi
✨ Calm upward surging Qi (palpitations, dizziness)
✨ Regulate spontaneous sweating
✨ Support circulation & digestive health

Who is it for?
✔️ Those recovering from illness, surgery, or childbirth
✔️ People with a naturally thin or frail constitution
✔️ Elderly individuals with fatigue & cold sensitivity
✔️ Children with recurrent colds & weak immunity
✔️ Those experiencing palpitations, dizziness, or lingering low-grade fevers

Common Signs:
🌬️ Spontaneous sweating
🌡️ Sensation of fever or internal heat
💓 Palpitations or surging Qi
💤 Fatigue, dizziness, poor endurance
👅 Pale tongue, weak pulse

💡 This formula is not for everyone — it’s carefully chosen based on your unique constitution and symptoms.

After completing a two-week intensive training course with Prof. Huang Huang last year, we were extremely impressed by his passion and wisdom 🌱✨

We had the opportunity to observe him treating countless patients and attending seminars on a wide range of medical topics with experts from his team, including gynecology, oncology, psychiatry, Parkinson’s disease, and more.

We also visited the provincial hospital, where there is an entire floor dedicated to him where he treats in patients with chronic illnesses.

Prof. Huang Huang is well known among Western doctors for his ability to successfully treat difficult Western diseases. One particularly remarkable case that he shared with us involved a patient with critical re**al haemorrhaging. The western medical doctors called Prof. Huang Huang after they had exhausted all of their resources, and he prescribed the formula Huang tu tang 黄土汤 Yellow Earth Decoction, which effectively stopped the bleeding.

This formula has 7 materia medica including a yellow clay which acts as a homeostatic.

These ancient herbal formulas that were crafted 2000 years ago are still saving lives today 💛🫰

🌙 Struggling with Sleep? Chinese Medicine Can Help!

Sleep issues can show up in so many ways: trouble falling asleep, waking through the night, or not feeling rested even after 8 hours.

In Chinese Medicine, sleep disturbances aren’t treated with a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we look at the root cause, which could include:

✨ Disrupted circadian rhythm
✨ Digestive imbalances
✨ Hormonal shifts
✨ Nervous system dysregulation
✨ Emotional stress or unprocessed experiences

Your body holds a story. Your symptoms are not random, they are messages. Each treatment is tailored to your unique constitution, history, and needs.

🛌 Why do we need sleep?
✔ Cellular repair and detox
✔ Emotional processing and memory integration
✔ Immune system support
✔ Hormone balancing
✔ Mental clarity and decision-making
✔ Regulation of mood and stress response

👩‍⚕️ Did you know?
Women and men can have different sleep needs due to hormonal cycles, metabolic differences, and life stages.

📍If you’re ready to understand why you’re not sleeping and how to shift that gently and naturally……

📩 DM me to book a Chinese Medicine consultation and explore what’s keeping you up—and how to restore rest. 🌿

The “Divine Farmer’s Classic of Materia Medica,” also known as the “Shen Nong Ben Cao Jing,” is indeed considered one of the earliest surviving herbal texts in Chinese medicine.

It dates back to the Eastern (or Later) Han Dynasty around 100-200 CE. The title of the book is derived from the legendary figure of Shen Nong, who is believed to have been a minister of agriculture under the mythical Yellow Emperor in ancient China.
