Is your nose acting up again? Weather changes and poor air quality can make nasal allergies unbearable — constant sneezing, stuffy nose, and endless runny noses. Don’t worry — with just a few simple acupoints, you can relieve the discomfort and breathe easier naturally!

Yin Tang (印堂穴): At the midpoint between the inner ends of the eyebrows

Zan Zhu (攒竹穴): In the depression at the inner end of the eyebrows

Shang Ying Xiang (上迎香穴): Above the Ying Xiang acupoint, at the upper end of the nasolabial fold (smile lines)

Feeling nauseous during pregnancy? Morning sickness can be tough, but the right nutrients can help soothe the symptom and support your baby’s development. Here are 6 of them that can make a difference!

Vitamin B6: Help reduce nausea and vomiting. Also supports fetal development. E.g. cereal, eggs, soybeans, and bananas

Protein: Prevent nutritional deficiencies and ensures the baby receives enough nutrients for healthy growth.
E.g. high-quality protein such as beans, fish, eggs and meat

Zinc: Zinc deficiency during pregnancy can lead to loss of appetite, affects the sense of taste/smell, worsen nausea/vomiting and increase fatigue.
E.g. oysters, dried small fish, pumpkin seeds, and nuts

Ginger: Compounds in ginger such as gingerol and shogaol have notable anti-nausea effects. The rhizome of ginger can be used as both a spice and a medicinal herb. It effectively relieves pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting. Daily intake of less than 1000 mg poses no negative effects on pregnancy.

Tomatoes: Contain the antioxidant lycopene, which can help neutralize stomach acid after vomiting.

Stay Hydrated: Staying hydrated during pregnancy is crucial, especially during periods of morning sickness. Excessive vomiting can lead to dehydration, which can in turn worsen nausea.

If you are facing any issues related to pregnancy, TCM is here to help! Do SMS/WhatsApp us at 9056 9517 to book an appointment today.
