𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐈𝐒𝐍’𝐓 𝐈𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃. 𝐈𝐓’𝐒 𝐋𝐎𝐃𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑⁣
(Yes, really. Stay with me 😌)⁣
⁣
You’re not “too sensitive.”⁣
You’re not dramatic & you’re definitely not imagining it⁣
⁣
From a 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 of view, stress lives in the 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 — not the emotional kind, the physiological one⁣
⁣
🫀 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐣𝐨𝐛 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐂𝐌?⁣
To keep 𝐐𝐢 (𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲) 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐥𝐲 through your body⁣
⁣
When life is chill → Qi flows⁣
When life is chaos → Qi stagnates⁣
When Qi stagnates → hello symptoms 👇⁣
⁣
• Tight neck & shoulders⁣
• PMS, period pain, clots⁣
• Headaches & jaw clenching⁣
• Digestive bloating⁣
• Mood swings / rage at minor inconveniences⁣
• Trouble sleeping between 1–3am⁣
• Hormones acting feral⁣
• Fertility issues (yep, that too)⁣
⁣
So no — stress isn’t “in your head.” It’s 𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 stuck⁣
⁣
Now let’s talk 𝗪𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞, because this isn’t woo-woo⁣
⁣
Chronic stress = constant cortisol + adrenaline⁣
⁣
That messes with:⁣
• Blood sugar⁣
• Hormones⁣
• Inflammation⁣
• Nervous system regulation⁣
• Liver detox pathways⁣
⁣
Your liver is literally responsible for 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 like estrogen⁣
⁣
When it’s overloaded?⁣
👉 Hormones recycle instead of clearing⁣
👉 PMS worsens⁣
👉 Cycles get painful or irregular⁣
👉 Ovulation quality drops⁣
⁣
Same story. Different language⁣
⁣
💥 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮:⁣
You can’t “mindset” your way out of physiological stress⁣
⁣
Breathwork helps⁣
Meditation helps⁣
But if your nervous system + circulation are locked up, talking yourself calm won’t unblock it⁣
⁣

It:⁣
• Moves Liver Qi⁣
• Improves blood flow⁣
• Regulates the nervous system⁣
• Lowers stress hormones⁣
• Improves digestion & sleep⁣
• Supports hormone clearance⁣
• Makes your body feel SAFE again⁣
⁣
People don’t leave acupuncture relaxed because it’s quiet

They leave relaxed because their body 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐠𝐨⁣

𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐎𝐍’𝐓 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐁𝐀𝐃 𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐒 — 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐈𝐑𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍⁣
Yes, I said it. Put the ancestry test down for a second 🧬🔥⁣
⁣
We love blaming 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴 for everything:⁣
“Bad periods? Genetics”⁣
“Fertility struggles? Runs in the family”⁣
“Pain, inflammation, fatigue? Must be my DNA”⁣
⁣
But here’s the uncomfortable truth 👇⁣
⁣
𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭. 𝐂𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐧⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝗪 (𝐚.𝐤.𝐚. 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞)⁣
Your genes don’t act alone. They need 𝐨𝐱𝐲𝐠𝐞𝐧, 𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 & 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐥 to function properly⁣
⁣
Poor circulation means:⁣
-Cells don’t get enough oxygen⁣
Hormones don’t reach their target tissues⁣
-Inflammation hangs around like an unwanted houseguest⁣
-Metabolic waste doesn’t clear properly⁣
⁣
This affects:⁣
-Period pain⁣
-PCOS⁣
-Endometriosis⁣
-Fertility⁣
-Chronic pain⁣
-Fatigue⁣
-Slow healing⁣
⁣
Modern medicine even has a name for this: 𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 — your environment & blood flow influence how genes are expressed⁣
⁣
Translation? Your genes aren’t broken. They’re under-resourced⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝗪 (𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐲)⁣
In Chinese Medicine, we’ve been saying this for 2,000+ years:⁣
“Where there is pain, there is no free flow”⁣
⁣
Poor circulation = 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬 + 𝐐𝐢 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧⁣
⁣
That looks like:⁣
-Clots⁣
-Dark or painful periods⁣
-Cold hands & feet⁣
-Sharp or fixed pain⁣
-Hormonal chaos⁣
-“Everything looks normal but I feel terrible” syndrome⁣
⁣
TCM doesn’t obsess over genetics⁣
It asks: 𝐈𝐬 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠? 𝐈𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠? 𝐈𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝?⁣
⁣

𝐏𝐂𝐎𝐒 𝐈𝐒𝐍’𝐓 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐂𝐘𝐒𝐓𝐒 — 𝐈𝐓’𝐒 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐔𝐂𝐊 𝐄𝐆𝐆𝐒 🥚🚫⁣ (Yes, the name is a scam)⁣
⁣
If PCOS were honest, it wouldn’t be called 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘺𝘤𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘖𝘷𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘦. ⁣
⁣
Because those “cysts”? They’re not cysts They’re 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 — eggs that tried to ovulate… & got ghosted by your hormones⁣
⁣
Let’s break it down without the medical gaslighting 👇⁣
⁣
🧬 𝗪𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍 𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝗪⁣
PCOS is primarily a 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 & 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, not a cyst problem⁣
⁣
What’s actually happening:⁣
-The ovaries 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 maturing eggs⁣
-Hormones (especially insulin + androgens) interrupt the process⁣
-Ovulation doesn’t complete⁣
-The egg stays stuck in limbo⁣
-Rinse. Repeat. Every cycle⁣
⁣
That’s why you see the classic “string of pearls” on ultrasound — not dangerous cysts… 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐞𝐠𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 🚦⁣
⁣
This is why PCOS often comes with:⁣
-Irregular or missing ovulation⁣
-Long or unpredictable cycles⁣
-Acne, hair growth, hair loss⁣
-Blood sugar chaos⁣
-“You’re ovulating… maybe… we think?” energy⁣
⁣
The issue isn’t that your ovaries are broken. They’re 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝, 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫-𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 & 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐝⁣
⁣
🌿 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝗪 (𝐀𝐊𝐀: 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐃𝐘 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒 𝗪𝐀𝐘 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄)⁣
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, ovulation = 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭⁣
⁣
Egg release requires:⁣
-Strong 𝐊𝐢𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 (reproductive power)⁣
-Smooth 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐐𝐢 flow (hormonal communication + timing)⁣
-Adequate 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 + 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 to push the egg out⁣
⁣
PCOS often shows up as:⁣
-𝐐𝐢 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 → things aren’t moving⁣
-𝐏𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐦 + 𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 → metabolic congestion⁣
-𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬 → the egg can’t be released properly⁣
⁣
Translation? 👉 The o***y 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 to ovulate… but the environment is sticky, sluggish & blocked⁣
⁣
So the egg stays trapped.⁣
Not because your body is failing — but because the 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥 + 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡⁣

𝐑𝐄𝐆𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐑 𝐂𝐘𝐂𝐋𝐄𝐒 𝐃𝐎𝐍’𝐓 𝐀𝐋𝗪𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐌𝐄𝐀𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇𝐘 𝐎𝐕𝐔𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍⁣
⁣
If your period shows up like clockwork but pregnancy still isn’t happening… your body might be 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨, not 𝘧𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨⁣
⁣
Let’s break this myth properly — 𝗪𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 𝐯𝐬 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰 — without the fluff⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍 𝐌𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝗪⁣
In Western medicine, a “regular cycle” usually means:⁣
✔ Bleed every 26–32 days⁣
✔ Hormones are “within range”⁣
✔ Ovulation probably happened⁣
⁣
But here’s the uncomfortable truth:⁣
-You can bleed without strong ovulation⁣
-You can ovulate weakly (yes, that’s a thing)⁣
-You can release an egg that’s poorly nourished⁣
-You can ovulate… but with inflammation, stress hormones, or poor blood flow sabotaging the process⁣
⁣
Western tests often ask:⁣
👉 Did you 𝘰𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦?⁣
They rarely ask:⁣
👉 Was it good 𝘰𝘷𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯?⁣
⁣
That’s like saying, “The oven turned on” without checking if the food actually cooked⁣
⁣
𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝗪 (𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐈𝐒 𝗪𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐓 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐒 𝐉𝐔𝐈𝐂𝐘)⁣
In TCM, 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧. We care about 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲⁣
⁣
TCM looks at:⁣
-Blood volume & colour⁣
-Cervical mucus quality⁣
-Ovulation pain (or lack of it)⁣
-Luteal phase strength⁣
-Temperature shifts⁣
-Emotional state around ovulation⁣
-Digestion, sleep, stress, circulation⁣
⁣
From a TCM lens, you can have regular cycles but still have:⁣
❌ Blood deficiency (egg under-nourished)⁣
❌ Qi stagnation (egg stuck, delayed or stressed out)⁣
❌ Cold uterus (ovulation happens but implantation is like landing on ice)⁣
❌ Damp/inflammation (hormones loud but ineffective)⁣
⁣
Your body may be bleeding on schedule because it’s 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥, not because it’s fertile⁣
⁣
𝐇𝐎𝗪 𝐓𝐂𝐌 & 𝐀𝐂𝐔𝐏𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏⁣
Acupuncture doesn’t just “regulate cycles.”⁣
⁣
That’s beginner level.⁣
It works by:⁣
✔ Increasing ovarian & uterine blood flow⁣
✔ Improving egg quality (not just egg release)⁣
✔ Supporting corpus luteum function⁣

𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐒 𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝗪𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐅𝐀𝐒𝐂𝐈𝐀 𝐈𝐒 𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐃⁣
⁣
Let’s clear something up real quick 👇⁣
⁣
If stretching, foam rolling, massage guns, Pilates, yoga AND swearing at your hamstrings hasn’t fixed your stiffness… the problem isn’t your muscles⁣
⁣
It’s your 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚?⁣
Think of fascia like cling wrap that wraps every 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞, 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞, 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 & 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 in your body⁣
⁣
It’s meant to be 𝐡𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 & 𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐲 — so you can move like a human, not a rusted robot⁣
⁣
Stress, sitting, injuries, inflammation, trauma, poor circulation & crappy recovery turn fascia into:⁣
-Dry⁣
-Sticky⁣
-Thick⁣
-Restricted⁣
-Painful⁣
⁣
Congrats. You’re now wearing a full-body compression suit you never asked for⁣
⁣
𝗪𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭⁣
When fascia tightens:⁣
❌ Muscles can’t glide⁣
❌ Joints feel “blocked”⁣
❌ Stretching feels useless⁣
❌ Pain moves around⁣
❌ You feel stiff for NO REASON⁣
⁣
This is why:⁣
-You stretch but don’t get looser⁣
-Your pain changes locations⁣
-One side feels “dead”⁣
-Your body feels locked, not weak⁣
⁣
Fascia doesn’t respond to brute force. It responds to 𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐬 + 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 + 𝐡𝐲𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧⁣
⁣
& this is where acupuncture walks in like, “𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘹, 𝘐 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴”⁣
⁣
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚⁣
⁣
Acupuncture doesn’t just “relax muscles.” It talks directly to the 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 & 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞⁣
⁣
When needles go in:⁣
✔️ Fascia layers begin to slide again⁣
✔️ Local circulation increases⁣
✔️ Inflammation drops⁣
✔️ The nervous system downshifts out of fight-or-flight⁣
✔️ Tissue hydration improves⁣
✔️ Pain signals calm the hell down⁣
⁣
Modern research even shows needles create 𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐚, telling it to soften & reorganise⁣
⁣
Translation:⁣
Your body finally lets go instead of guarding like it’s in a hostage situation⁣

⁣
𝗪𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝗪 (𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋, 𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐂)⁣
⁣
Western medicine says:⁣
• Chocolate cysts = old menstrual blood trapped in the o***y⁣
• Caused by endometriosis⁣
• Diagnosed via ultrasound or MRI⁣
⁣
Treatment options:⁣
– “Watch & wait”⁣
– Hormonal suppression (pill, Mirena, GnRH = menopause in a syringe)⁣
– Surgery (& pray it doesn’t come back 🤞)⁣

⁣
𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝗪 (𝗪𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐘 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄)⁣
In Chinese Medicine, chocolate cysts are NOT random⁣
⁣
They are usually a combo of:⁣
• 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (blood that isn’t moving = clots, pain, cysts)
• 𝐏𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐦 & 𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐩 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (thick, sticky pathology — yes, gross, but accurate)⁣
• 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐐𝐢 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (stress, rage, people-pleasing, emotional suppression 👀)⁣
• 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐬 (hello painful periods, dark blood, clots)⁣
⁣
Translation:⁣
👉 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘥, 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 & 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘩⁣

⁣
𝗪𝐇𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊⁣
⁣
Here’s the controversial bit 👇⁣
Chocolate cysts don’t recur because you’re “unlucky.”⁣
⁣
They recur because:⁣
• Blood flow was never restored⁣
• Inflammation was never resolved⁣
• Stress signals were never turned off⁣
• Hormones were suppressed instead of regulated⁣

𝗪𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐍 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝗪 (𝐚𝐤𝐚: “𝗪𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐭… 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲”)⁣

Western medicine describes fibromyalgia as:⁣

• Brain fog (goodbye words, hello staring into space)⁣
• Heightened pain sensitivity⁣
• Often linked to stress, trauma, infections or hormonal shifts⁣
⁣

👉 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 — your nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight & the pain dial is turned ALL the way up⁣

⁣
𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝗪 (𝐚𝐤𝐚: “𝐎𝐡… 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞”)⁣
⁣
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fibromyalgia isn’t mysterious at all. It’s usually a combo of:⁣
• 𝐐𝐢 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – energy isn’t moving → pain⁣
• 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 – circulation is poor → aching, heaviness⁣
• 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 – stress locked in the body⁣
• 𝐒𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 – fatigue, fog, weakness⁣
• 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 – the body is under-resourced⁣

Pain = 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨⁣

Western medicine loves a birthday candle. “How old are you?” “Oh… hmm.” 𝘵𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘳⁣

TCM looks at your 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰, not your age⁣

𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 & 𝐐𝐢 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐮𝐬 & 𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬?⁣
⁣
If circulation is poor, the uterus is basically like:⁣
“Hello? Anyone coming? No? Cool. I’ll just… not ovulate properly.”⁣
⁣
From a TCM lens:⁣
-Cold womb = slow circulation⁣
-Stress = stagnant Qi⁣
-Inflammation = blocked pathways⁣
-Long-term dieting / over-exercising = not enough blood to go around⁣
⁣
Age just 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐬 circulation problems. It doesn’t create them⁣
⁣
I’ve seen:⁣
-42-year-olds with better uterine blood flow than 28-year-olds⁣
-“Perfect” hormone panels with awful circulation⁣
-“Low AMH” clients get pregnant once blood flow improves⁣
⁣
Uncomfortable? Yes⁣
True? Also yes⁣

Western medicine 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 quietly agree — it just doesn’t shout about it⁣
⁣
Blood flow affects:⁣
-Egg quality⁣
-Endometrial thickness⁣
-Implantation⁣
-Oxygen + nutrient delivery to the ovaries⁣
⁣
That’s why you’ll see:⁣
-Vi**ra prescribed for uterine blood flow⁣
-Baby aspirin in IVF protocols⁣

Acupuncture & TCM aren’t about “boosting fertility” in a vague way⁣

-Increase pelvic blood flow⁣
-Reduce inflammation⁣
-Calm the nervous system (hello parasympathetic state 👋)⁣
-Warm the uterus⁣
-Move stagnant blood & Qi⁣
