Gua Sha has been used for thousands of years in China to treat illness. Today, it’s widely known for cosmetic uses, but I use it often in the clinic for a number of issues.

Gua Sha can be an effective tool in the treatment of neck pain, headaches, the common cold, gastric discomfort, low back pain, and other conditions characterized by stagnation. It’s non-invasive, quick, and often quite comfortable.

Thermal Nature: Warming Foods

Chinese dietary therapy considers a food's nature when treating illness. These are hot, cold, neutral, salty, pungent, sour, bitter and sweet. Each cause the body to react differently, and are employed to counter imbalances. Today, we'll explore the hot thermal nature of food.

'Hot' here doesn't refer to temperature, or even spicy flavor. Perhaps it's better to call them 'warming' rather than hot. Obvious examples of warming foods are ginger, onion, turmeric, black pepper, chilli and cinnamon - things that get you sweating or have that capsaicin kick. However, there are less obvious examples: cherries, dates, pumpkin, beef, lamb and black tea.

Warming foods in a balanced diet support the function of the spleen and stomach, promoting digestion. They're indicated in cold conditions to warm up the interior. Cold conditions can include gastric pain, the common cold, certain types of constipation, muscle spasms, chronic illness and more.

Huangbai liniment, a traditional herbal preparation from Phellodendron amurense, is an effective herb for many conditions including reducing inflammation and promoting diabetic wound healing.

Recent studies explored how it modulates important cellular pathways (like IL, TGF-β & Nrf2) involved in inflammation and tissue repair. Bioactive compounds such as berberine, palmatine, and jatrorrhizine contribute to anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects.

The paper also discusses several secondary effects described in the research, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-fungal activity. Traditionally, the herb is used to treat issues of 'damp-heat' both internally and externally, which can manifest with conditions such as gout, ulcers, psoriasis, slow-healing wounds, and more.

Do not take herbs without first consulting with a professional; improper use of herbs can cause significant harm if not used properly and for the appropriate conditions.

Bridging the Gap in Oncology Care

The process of remission is one of hope, relief - and also anxiety. Patient who received considerable support through their cancer journey suddenly find themselves adrift. Frequent doctor's visits become stretched, and compassion fatigue wins against many caregivers. Cancer survivors, freshly coem to terms with their mortality, now have to navigate a world that may be radically different than it was prior to their diagnosis.

Cancer is traumatic. Thankfully, psychological care has been increasingly prioritized during treatments, and it's been found that proper mental health leads to improved health outcomes. Similarly, rates of relapse decrease with proper postremission therapies including metanl health. In this way, traditional Chinese medicine can be an important tool.

TCM bridges this gap in care, because treatment focuses on reestablishing homeostasis. Emotional and physical health are given equal weight as part of holistic care. Whereas allopathic medicine thrives during periods of crisis, TCM is most effective in recovery and preventative modes.

Healthcare shouldn't end when symptoms go away; it's a way of living, and support for that goal should be as persistent as you are. Consider a TCM practitioner as part of your care team, to ensure that care continues no matter what phase of the journey you're in.

Tea is a life saver.

I mean this literally. A 2022 study of tea drinkers in the UK found that people who drank 2 or more cups of tea a day were 9% to 13% less likely to die from any cause.

Green tea, black tea, hot tea, cold tea - it doesn't seem to matter. It makes sense, then, why Eastern cultures treat tea-drinking so seriously. It's life and death!

“Lunar New Year of Jiawu (1714)”

Despite thinning white hair,
I stayed up for a night to feast on New Year’s Eve.

The burning candle urges me to drink up;
I emptied my pocket, giving children coins for good luck.

Hearing the noise of firecrackers, I’m cheerful like a child;

Seeing new spring couplets hang, I sense closure of the old year.

Listening to the “Plum Blossom” tune one more time;

Soon, the day breaks and people greet one another with laughter.
- Kong Shangren

Happy New Year to all. May it come with many blessings and opportunity for growth.
