24.01.2022 We love being comfortable in the body you’re in. We reject the ‘filter’ approach to life. We stand together to promote body acceptance, positivity and neutrality. We do want to talk about the way covid and lock down can effect your mind and therefore your body. Many of us tune out the internal dialogue and cues from our bodies when stress and uncertainty are ruling our lives. A common side effect and coping response is overeating. Stress caused the wood element to inv...ade the earth element, in TCM this can deplete spirit of the spleen. In at Zhong Centre we can work with through your response to stress. We have a specially formatted tea to aid you metabolism - our MMT. The heat from the tea also nourishes the spleen. See more

21.01.2022 We want to talk about you mind. If you’re finding things a bit hard, or A LOT f*@king hard, at the moment thats okay. It’s normal. You are not alone. You do not need to feel bad for having a difference experience or response to people around you. We’re advocates for looking our for yourself. If you need someone to talk to we love @lyf_app... We’re also we’re big advocates for removing stigma for mental health medication. We take medication for a whole host of ailments. If you or people in your life take medication to get through the tough times, that should be commended. Mental health is a lonely battle sometimes, you don’t need to feel any sort of shame around your own PERSONAL journey. Of course Acupuncture is a great treatment for mental health, check can be used with other tools to manage your journey. We also love Neurocalm here at Zhong Centre, used to treat anxiety and stress related problems. Our practitioners are here to listen and using TCM bring you back into balance. If you have any other great tools that have helped you through your mental health journey let us know! See more

12.01.2022 It's spring racing - albeit not as we know it... We're using it as an excuse to add a little sparkle to our routine. Be a little bit extra! You have earned it.

10.01.2022 Did you know that your nails are a diagnostic tool for us Chinese Medicine Practitioners? The health of those little keratin slabs at the end of your fingers an...d toes can reflect a whole heap on how your Wood Element is holding up - especially the Yin aspect of the Wood Element. The Liver in Chinese Medicine theory holds your Blood. The Blood should smoothly circulate through the body, through the internal and external meridians (channels), making sure all parts of your beautiful bod of yours are nourished by this Blood, especially your eyes, sinews, neck and shoulders, temporal area on the head, and your nails - as the Liver particularly looks after these areas! If you don't have enough Liver Blood energy, your nails won't be doing so well!! Brittle nails, that are dry and just break so easy or maybe don't grow well are some good indications (along with pulse and tongue diagnosis) that you're low on your important Liver Blood! So how does one become low on Liver Blood?? Diet is a big one. Blood energy is boosted through the consumption of red meat (not fish/chicken/pork) and certain grains. So if you are a low carb, vego/vegan - I would suggest getting some bone broth or carbs back into your diet - barley and white rice (yep - not that brown rice stuff) are a good start. Emotional stress is another and boy have we all had a rollercoaster of emotions and stress this year. Anger, frustration, sadness, and envy that is bottled up and not processed can drain the Liver, stopping it from being able to store your Blood. Over exercise - I know a lot of people are super excited for gyms to be back open and great! We need to move our bods however we can to make us feel ah-mazing! But you can over do it. So don't take it steady, you have your whole life to exercise, do what you need to and remember to rest! Loss of blood. For those of us who bleed and give birth, loss of actual blood will deplete the Liver. If your periods have been super heavy for ages then Liver blood can be depleted. So make sure you look out for signs of Liver Blood deficiency. You can always ask me if you need confirming! Rest up and look after that Wood Element!! See more

09.01.2022 One of the hardest parts about people newer to TCM and acupuncture is know when is the best time to come in for treatment! When you treat the underlying causes of your symptoms, rather then the band-aid approach of just covering it up, you achieve sustained and overall balance in the body. While you can use the symptoms your body displays to help measure your achievements, acupuncture can help you will feel lighter and more grounded in your body. FUN FACT - We recomme...nded weekly treatments to regulate and retrain the body. This is decided in your treatment plan with your practitioner and tailored to each client based on their health needs. Acupuncture + TCM works really well as prevention. If you wait until its really bad - there is a lot more work to undo. If you’re coming in for Cosmetic acupuncture we also have packages available which give you a discount in the long run! Good for the mind, body and hip pocket! Ask yourself, what will it cost me later if I continue to do nothing...? We’ve been having a few questions about the best treatment plan for a few of the more comments health needs we see at Zhong Centre. While our passion is on the added sparkle of Cosmetic Acupuncture and the benefits and longevity it provided to the skin, we also work on underlying health needs. Keep an eye out for insight into a general treatment schedule for some common health needs. Xx Zhong Centre See more

When an imbalance arises in your Qi it is can been seen in issues arising in the skin, or other areas.
