💦 Sweating is a natural way for the body to regulate temperature and balance yin and yang. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), sweat and blood share the same origin, and excessive sweating can drain both, leading to fatigue, palpitations, and dryness.

Not all sweating is the same. Gentle, even sweating after light movement is normal. But frequent, heavy, or uneven sweating may signal internal imbalances.

⚠️ 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐛𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬
• 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: Sweating during the day with minimal movement, often from Qi or Yang deficiency
• 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐬: Sweating during sleep that stops upon waking, linked to liver and kidney yin deficiency
• 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: Concentrated on the forehead and neck, linked to liver yang hyperactivity or internal damp heat
• 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: Only one side of the body sweats, may indicate meridian blockage or even stroke risk

1️⃣ 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐠𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐮 𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 daily for 10 minutes to balance yin and yang, support kidney water, and calm heart fire.
2️⃣ 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐦𝐚𝐢 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤 – simmer American ginseng, Ophiopogon japonicus, and Schisandra chinensis to nourish yin, stop sweating, and restore fluids.
3️⃣ 𝐀𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐩 – with longan meat to replenish Qi, nourish yin, and improve sleep.

💡 Avoid showering immediately after sweating. Wipe dry, rest, and hydrate with warm fluids. Sour drinks like sour plum soup can help close pores and prevent fluid loss.
Moderation is key, too much sweat harms, too little stagnates. Listen to your body, protect your essence, and let your sweat serve your health. 🌿💧

💡 Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammation of the large intestine. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is linked to spleen deficiency, when the body’s ability to transform and transport nutrients weakens, allowing dampness, heat, stasis, and toxins to accumulate.
🌿 These factors can lead to abdominal pain, urgent bowel movements, diarrhoea with blood or mucus, fatigue, and weight loss. Flare-ups and remissions often occur, affecting daily life and overall well-being.
🍵 TCM treatment focuses on strengthening the spleen, replenishing qi, clearing heat, resolving dampness, and promoting tissue healing. Internal herbal prescriptions may be combined with herbal enemas and acupuncture to address both root causes and symptoms.
🫖 Prescriptions often feature astragalus root, codonopsis root, yam, and hawthorn to aid digestion, boost nutrient absorption, and support recovery. Detoxifying blends like dandelion, wild chrysanthemum, and Panax notoginseng may help reduce inflammation and encourage intestinal healing.
💧 Herbal enemas deliver medicine directly to affected areas, reducing inflammation and aiding ulcer repair. Acupuncture supports digestion, strengthens qi, and restores intestinal stability.
🏃 Healthy habits are key for prevention and management. A fibre-rich diet, light regular exercise, and emotional balance all help protect the spleen and digestive function.
✨ With the right care, flare-ups can be reduced, resilience strengthened, and comfort restored.

Coughing might seem minor, but it often signals deeper issues. Whether triggered by flu 🤒, allergens 🌬️, air pollution 🌫️, or internal imbalances, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) sees each type of cough as a unique condition — and treats it accordingly 🌿

Here are four common types of cough and how to relieve them with TCM-inspired food remedies 🍵

1️⃣ 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 ❄️
Symptoms: dry cough or white phlegm, chills, nasal congestion
✅ Try:
• Ginger and red date soup — warms the body and supports immunity
• White radish honey soup — clears phlegm and moistens the lungs
(⚠️ not suitable for children under 3)

2️⃣ Wind heat cough 🔥
Symptoms: hacking cough with yellow or green phlegm, sore throat, thirst
✅ Try:
• Pear honey soup — moistens the lungs and soothes the throat
• Liquorice and sweet almond tea — relieves heat and calms coughing
(use only sweet almonds)

3️⃣ 𝐏𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐦 𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 🌫️
Symptoms: thick phlegm, chest tightness, fatigue
✅ Try:
• Tangerine peel rice porridge — breaks down phlegm and supports digestion
• Almond porridge — clears phlegm and moistens the lungs

4️⃣ 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 💨
Symptoms: dry, ticklish cough, short breath, fatigue
✅ Try:
• Lily pear duck soup — nourishes yin and relieves dryness
• Goji berry milk porridge — restores moisture and supports lung function
🌿 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲
✔️ Use a humidifier to ease dry air
✔️ Avoid allergens and dusty environments
✔️ Stay hydrated and get sufficient rest 💧
✔️ Clean bedding and toys regularly 🧸
✔️ Seek help if a cough persists beyond one week or worsens 🩺

Coughing is more than just a sound. Let your body speak and respond wisely with care, rest, and the right nourishment 🧘‍♀️🍵✨

𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬.
Eat these “black treasures” in rotation to strengthen the spleen, kidneys, and blood 🖤

🌿 In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), maintaining kidney health is essential for preserving energy, essence, and vitality. One simple way to support kidney function is by eating more black-colored foods, which are believed to nourish the kidneys based on the five elements theory.

⚫ Black sesame is a time-honored tonic food. It nourishes the liver and kidneys, supports digestion, promotes energy, and contributes to healthier skin and hair. However, it is also high in fat and calories. Overconsumption may cause dampness, weaken the spleen and stomach, and lead to unwanted weight gain.

⚠️ Black sesame balls may taste good, but they are often sweetened and rich in oil. For individuals with strong digestion, 1 to 2 pieces a day may be beneficial. Consuming more than that may reduce the intended effects and increase internal dampness.

🍲 A gentler and more balanced option is black sesame porridge:
15g black sesame, 10g walnuts, 20g mulberries, 50g rice. Simmer slowly into a nourishing blend that supports kidney and brain function while enhancing skin and hair health.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲:
🍚 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐠𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞
Also known as purple rice or longevity rice. It enters the spleen, stomach, and lungs to replenish qi and support individuals with fatigue or low blood counts. Cook it with peanuts for a warming porridge that supports internal balance.
🫘 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬
Known as the “Valley of the Kidneys” in TCM. Black beans nourish the liver and kidneys, promote blood circulation, and help support the nervous system. They are suitable for long-term nourishment.
Try a traditional soup using black beans, black chicken, ginger, and processed Polygonum multiflorum. This combination supports blood and yin.
⚠️ Use Polygonum multiflorum only under guidance.

🫐 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬
Sweet, juicy, and nourishing. Mulberries support liver and kidney yin, boost blood, and are commonly used to improve hair and eye health.

🧘 Support your kidneys with intention. Rotate these black treasures to nourish the body from within.

🥵 Sweating more than usual lately, even when you're not outdoors or exercising much? It could be more than just the humid weather. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), “Sweat is the fluid of the heart” as it shares the same origin as blood and essence. 💧

While sweating helps regulate body temperature and detoxify, excessive sweating may signal deeper imbalances like:

⚠️ Qi or Yang deficiency
⚠️ Weak Wei Qi (your body’s immune shield)
⚠️ Ying and Wei Qi disharmony
⚠️ Nervous system issues such as night sweats
⚠️ Emotional stress or fear

Too much sweat can disrupt the balance of yin and yang, leading to issues like fatigue, dry mouth, constipation, or even fever.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝟓 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨:
1: Sweating with anxiety or fear may indicate Heart and Gallbladder Qi deficiency
2: Sticky palms or soles may point to Kidney deficiency
3: Heavy sweating after light activity suggests General Qi deficiency
4: Partial body sweating such as only on one side may be a sign of stroke. Seek help immediately
5: Children sweating during sleep often have internal heat and weak constitution

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠?
• Longan nourishes the heart and spleen and calms the mind
• Chinese Yam boosts Qi and Yin and supports the spleen, lungs, and kidneys
• Pseudostellaria Tai Zi Shen is a neutral, kid-friendly tonic that restores Qi
• American Ginseng is helpful for those feeling constantly tired or burnt out

✨ Bonus tip: Herbal remedies like Shengmai Yin or Yupingfeng Powder may support recovery. Always consult a licensed TCM physician first
Restore your balance. Protect your essence. Let your body sweat properly, not excessively. 💦🧘‍♀️🌿

🩸 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐂𝐌: 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐬
Diabetes is serious. Once it develops, it’s hard to reverse and complications like heart, kidney, nerve, and eye problems make it even more dangerous.
But Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) teaches us: there is still time to act in the early stage.

⚠️ 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 = 𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫
Many ignore early signs like thirst, fatigue, blurry vision, or frequent urination, mistaking them for “just being tired” or “spleen deficiency.”
In reality, these may be your body’s warning signs. With the right lifestyle + herbal support, prediabetes can still be reversed.

🌿 𝐓𝐂𝐌’𝐬 𝐕𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬
Known as “Xiaoke disease”, diabetes in TCM is mainly caused by:
– Yin deficiency
– Dryness + heat
– Qi + Yin depletion
– Spleen + kidney weakness

TCM focuses on:
✔ Regulating constitution (Qi/Yin)
✔ Easing thirst, fatigue, urination
✔ Assisting blood sugar control
✔ Preventing complications

🩺 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 & 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞
🔥 Lung heat + fluid loss: dry mouth, thirst → clear heat + moisten lungs
🔥 Stomach fire: hunger, bitter mouth → cool stomach, nourish yin
💧 Kidney yin deficiency: frequent urination, backache → nourish kidney yin
🫁 Qi + Yin deficiency: fatigue, sweating, weight loss → tonify Qi, nourish fluids

🍲 𝐓𝐰𝐨 𝐍𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐘𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲

2️⃣ 𝐘𝐚𝐦 + 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐲𝐠𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐏𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐩
→ Nourishes yin, strengthens spleen, relieves dryness

💡 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬
✅ Eat high-fiber, low-sugar, low-fat
✅ Sleep well, avoid staying up late
✅ Exercise daily (30–60 min)
✅ Stay emotionally balanced, stress worsens blood sugar

Balance your Qi. Nourish your Yin. Support your body from the root.

3️⃣ 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝-𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠: Emotional patterns affect physical recovery. Music, herbs, and mindfulness help restore balance.
4️⃣ 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐭: Support spleen, kidney, and heart in different phases to rebuild vital energy and resistance.

✨ True healing in TCM combines personalized care, seasonal adjustment, and emotional balance, treating both root and branch.

🌿 𝐄𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐧? 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰

“If the spleen is not healthy, all kinds of diseases will arise.”
TCM has long emphasized the spleen’s role and modern medicine agrees. The spleen is the 𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 in the body and is deeply linked to energy, digestion, and immunity.

But if you feel 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐞, 𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐨𝐧, don’t brush it off as just “weak digestion”, it could be a sign of 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐲 (𝐞𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐧).

🔍 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐧𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐧
🦠 Infections: Hepatitis, typhoid, mononucleosis
💧 Congestion: Cirrhosis, portal vein issues, heart failure
🧬 Immune conditions: Lupus, rheumatoid arthritis
🩸 Blood disorders: Leukemia, lymphoma, thalassemia
🧫 Tumors: Lymphoma, splenic cysts, hemangiomas
☠️ Other: Poisoning, sarcoidosis

Symptoms can range from fatigue and poor appetite to abdominal swelling and pain under the left ribs. Seek medical attention if you notice these signs.

🌱 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞: 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐐𝐢 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝

In TCM, spleen enlargement is often linked to 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲, 𝐩𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐦, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬. Emotional stress and poor lifestyle weaken qi, disrupt digestion, and block energy flow, forming what we call “zheng ji” (symptom accumulations).

🌀 Common TCM types:
🔸 Qi stagnation + blood stasis: firm swelling, rib pain
🔸 Spleen deficiency + dampness: fatigue, bloating, soft stools
🔸 Damp-heat: tenderness, yellow urine, greasy tongue coating

✨ 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐬:

Throat discomfort is common, but don’t just rush to herbal tea. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM), sore throats aren’t all the same. Knowing your body’s constitution is key to calming the fire 🌿

🔸 Spleen deficiency + phlegm: leads to “plum pit qi” that constant stuck feeling

🥣 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞
✅ Drink warm water regularly
✅ Avoid spicy + greasy food

Many carry the hepatitis B virus without symptoms, but don’t ignore it. Over time, HBV can silently harm liver cells, leading to cirrhosis or liver cancer if left unmanaged.

☀️ Weather heat + humidity = extra stress on the liver. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), when “damp-heat” invades and combines with internal toxins, it worsens liver inflammation.

Learn how to nourish and protect the liver, the TCM way.

🔥 Damp-Heat Type: bitter mouth, yellow skin, smelly stools

🩸 Qi Stagnation & Blood Stasis: rib pain, dark skin, spider veins
→ Move blood, dissolve stasis
→ Try: Massage Taichong & Sanyinjiao

💧 Liver-Kidney Yin Deficiency: insomnia, hot palms/soles
→ Nourish yin, cool liver
→ Try: Mulberry & black bean tea

☀️ 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬:
🥬 Eat more greens and light meals
🍋 Use sour foods moderately such as lemons and plums
🔥 Avoid alcohol, fried/spicy food
💤 Sleep before 11pm
🧘‍♀️ Manage emotions: anger hurts the liver
💆‍♂️ Massage acupoints: Taichong, Xingjian, Sanyinjiao
🌬️ Keep cool & dry to avoid damp invasion.

Nourish the liver now, protect your future health.
