19.01.2022 TONGUES OUT | Here’s a fun little way to connect in with your body and check your digestion.. In TCM, the tongue is a mirror of the body - and particularly reflective of your digestive system. Next time you go to eat something that you’re not sure if your body likes, try looking at your tongue before eating it.. and then again about 30 mins after. If the coat on your tongue has gotten thicker, it means your digestion’s really working hard to digest that food and may be one ...to try and minimise A super easy way to test this out is if you have a few more wines than you should have - check your tongue before bed and again in the morning - I guarantee your tongue coat will be thick!! Wine is both heating and damp producing in excess, but a little bit moves Qi in the body and occasionally is used in some herbal formulas to help move stagnant energy

15.01.2022 HEAT LAMP ON YOUR TOOTSIES | it’s the time of year where everyone gets some heat lamp on their feet during treatment. And not just because it feels divine and helps you relax when your feet are nice and toasty... The Liver, Kidney and Spleen acupuncture channels all begin in the feet. Being Yin channels, they can tend towards cold - especially in winter. The Kidney in particular is the organ that is most affected by cold, and getting cold into that channel through our feet ...can affect our body’s fine balance. It can even worsen lower back pain (an area ruled by the Kidney energy) and contribute to period pain (again, a department ruled by the strength of the Kidney energy) By warming the feet, we help warm the entire body by supplementing the Kidney, Liver and Spleen which all have important functions in TCM including reproduction, digestion, blood production, and the movement of Qi and blood throughout the body. At home, this can be done just as easily by not walking barefoot around the house, with a hot water bottle, or a warming foot soak.

03.01.2022 Autumn is the season of the metal element. This is the season of contraction and moving inwards, of dryness, and the Lungs and Large Intestine. Learn more about these organs, and how to balance them in Autumn plus a little remedy for the beginning of a cold at the end https://www.chrysalistcm.com/blog/autumn-lungs
