22.01.2022 Like attracts like, and at the moment there is a lot of fear surrounding us (understandable). But there is a way to spread love instead of fear, whilst still being aware and cautious of our current state of health. . For example, if you cant go to the gym, go outside for a walk or run and have a look at all the love thats amongst nature! Look at the birds in the trees and the blue colour that blesses our skies everyday. Choose love by having a positive conversation with yo...ur family members instead of one that discusses uncertainties. Choose love by doing something special for yourself that you usually wouldnt do. It is amazing how perspective can get you through some of the toughest times. So have a think to yourself... how did you choose love over fear today? . . . . . . . #perspective #chooselove #stateofmind #positivevibes #nature #naturalhealing See more

22.01.2022 Acupuncture and Chinese herbs to treat acne Skin conditions, especially acne, are some of the hardest things to treat because they are so heavily influenced by hormones, stress factors, environmental factors, diet, products used on the skin and so much more. This just goes to show how powerful Chinese Medicine is, especially when it comes to treating stubborn conditions. These are some pictures one of my beautiful patients sent me, showing what her skin was like on the d...ay she began treatment with me, to 5 months later where her skin is absolutely glowing and basically bump free. It takes patience and persistence with weekly / fortnightly acupuncture and herbal medicine, but how much better is it to accomplish things naturally! I’m so proud of her and love sharing my patient’s success . . . . . . . #acupuncture #acupunctureforacne #acne #acnetreatment #hormonehealth #chinesemedicine #zilch #skincare #skintreatment #naturalskintreatment See more

22.01.2022 Loved hearing this today! Dont be too hard on yourself and be proud of how far you have come!

22.01.2022 This week is Men’s Health Week and I want to talk about how important it is that men feel comfortable to seek help. Men have previously been bought up in a society where it is seen as weak if they cry, if they talk about their emotions or cannot execute goals because of their state of mind. But in Chinese Medicine this is absolutely not the case. We see emotions as a cause of disease. When these emotions are not released by the body, they cause stagnation which leads to pai...n and blockages of energy that can create disease in the body. So when you talk about your feelings and find ways to release them, this is actually preventing further internal damage. I believe vulnerability shows absolute strength, not weakness. It’s hard to be vulnerable, but it’s important to share your emotions and seek assistance (such as acupuncture, psychology, NLP or hypnotherapy). This week, ask the men in your life how they are going, and offer to be there for them when they are ready to share. . . . . . . @inhervitality . . . . . . #menshealthweek #menshealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters

20.01.2022 Good news ladies! A glass a day keeps the doctors away! In Chinese Medicine, a glass of red wine helps to build your blood!

16.01.2022 SUPPLEMENTS! Just like food and drink, they help fuel your body with the necessary vitamins and minerals that it needs to function. They also play a major role in rehabilitation and healing. For example, magnesium helps to relax the nervous system and tissues in the body which may prevent cramping, aching and tightness So make sure that you are giving your body the best chance at healing by going to a registered health professional who can prescribe you necessary high qual...ity supplements.

15.01.2022 I am blessed that I have patients who feel comfortable coming to me to help them through tough times. But its often overlooked how much our patients help us practitioners. Some days a patients beautiful words, kind smile, little gift or hug can be the medicine that we need to carry on through the day. Today, I realise how grateful I am for my lovely clients, one of whom gifted me with a bunch of beautiful presents. @_madie_rainbird Thank you for your kind act, which has re-filled me for the day so that I can continue to give the rest of my patients a nurturing and healing treatment

14.01.2022 Acupuncture prevents illness and builds immunity! . The roots of Traditional Chinese Medicine are from a preventative point of view, not just symptomatic. This means that acupuncture works to balance the body (known as homeostasis) so that all of our functioning mechanisms do their job! So if youre feeling like you need to strengthen your immune system to avoid infections, de-clutter your mind to avoid mental set backs or just need a peaceful 1 hour break away from the stres...ses in society at the moment, come in for a treatment! Looking after your general well-being, helps to keep you strong during times of stress . . . . . . . . #wellbeing #illness #infectionprevention #preventativehealth #acupuncture #traditionalchinesemedicine #immunesupport #immunebooster See more

The first episode is going to be coming out next week! Keep an eye out for more info in the next few days :) #womensupportingwomen #podcast #womenshealthpodcast #sharingstories

11.01.2022 Simple Asian Veggie Soup for building your Qi to strengthen your immunity (swipe right for recipe). In Chinese Medicine, a strong immunity comes from a foundation of strong Spleen and Lung Qi. Our diet is a great way to strengthen our Qi to help fight off the nasties. The magic behind some of the special ingredients in this recipe: ... garlic: has a warm energy that affects the lung, stomach and spleen meridians. Helps detoxify the body, destroys parasites, strengthens the stomach, assist with stomach pain, swelling and diarrhoea. ginger: has a hot energy that affects the lung, spleen and stomach. It disperses cold (especially pathogenic cold that carries infections into the body), reduces phlegm, restores yang and promotes blood circulation. onion: has a warm energy that targets the stomach and lung meridians, to help build Qi (energy). seaweed: targets the liver and builds yin energy (yin energy includes our blood and lymph). Building yin fluids helps with water metabolism, is beneficial to the thyroid, moves Qi stagnation and clears phlegm. bok choy: strengthens the wood element, which in turn strengthens your Liver and Gallbladder. This helps balance the flow of energy and fluids throughout your body. This soup tastes delicious re-heated as well, so theres no problem in cooking a bit extra for later . . . . . . . . #chinesemedicine #chinesedietarytherapy #soup #immunesupport #energy #fiveelements #healthyfood

08.01.2022 Anxiety can present differently in people. Sometimes its the racing heart, shortness of breath or outbursts of emotions. It can be a lack of energy, withdrawal from social interactions, nausea or vomiting. Or it might be sleepless nights, racing minds or lack of appetite. Whatever way you may feel anxiety, it is valid and so are your emotions. Acupuncture is a gentle and safe treatment option for those who are experiencing anxiety. It works with the central nervous system an...d hormone production systems to help balance out the mind, body and soul. Chinese medicine recognises emotions as a cause of disease and works with them to bring harmony. If youre experiencing any signs of anxiety, why not try out a nourishing and natural treatment option! . .

08.01.2022 Every day stresses means we often bury how we are really feeling to get through the day. But what some people dont know is that if we suppress a certain emotion, it can cause disease within our body. Its important to let out frustration, to cry, to laugh, to sigh.. Its hard to do, but taking down that mask and telling someone you are not okay, could be the stepping stone towards a healthier you. Are you being true to yourself and what support can you use around you? Acupun...cture is a great resource to use to help shift stagnated energy created by buried emotions. So if youre struggling to shift that mood, try a natural solution. @taylaob.art #mentalhealth #emotions #stress #expressyourself #support #chinesemedicine #acupuncture

07.01.2022 This has been a big week. One of many challenges, changes and reflection. Its always important to be kind to yourself, but there are also moments where you need to recognise when you havent been your best self and what no longer feeds you purpose. By recognising these, its the first step to moving forward. And dont forget about Forgiveness - it is so important. Forgiveness of others, forgiveness of actions and forgiveness of yourself. Take a moment to reflect on how you can better improve yourself and give everything a chance to grow and heal

06.01.2022 Its the time of the year when energy levels are running low and its hard to keep going. The busy season is upon us, but dont forget to schedule in time for yourself.

03.01.2022 Humans need nurturing to bloom and blossom, just like roses do. So during this winter season, be sure to nourish yourself with a healthy diet, exercise and good company. In Chinese Medicine, Winter is all about nourishing your Yin energy. This means having warm foods, exercising in the morning when the sun is out, wearing socks, retreating at night time into some warm clothes, getting regular massages or acupuncture, having longer sleeps and meditating. Be sure to steer clear... of cold raw foods, exercising at night time/ late afternoon and not wearing enough clothes.

01.01.2022 Personal growth highly affects our mental, spiritual and even physical health. Its so easy to get caught up in day to day life and not want to make change or try new things. But without change, we can become stagnant. Life is about moving forward, discovering our capabilities and pushing ourselves to be our best. Sometimes the fear of losing stability can prohibit us from trying new things. Instead of letting this fear stop us from personal growth, use it as a fuel to try ab...solutely everything that comes your way! So go for that new job, try that new hobby, go for that run and watch yourself grow. . . . . . . . #growthmindset #mentalhealth #mentality #change #changeisgood See more
