Autumn in TCM ~

Autumn in TCM is the Metal season, highlighting Lung and Large Intestine health, inward consolidation and letting go. Perfect as we move from Sydney’s summer warmth into cooler, drier days.

4 Practical Ways to begin to adjust with Autumn:

1. Moisturise from within ~ think warm pears/apples with honey, congee and black sesame powder or seeds to nourish dry Lungs and moisten the bowels.

2. Layer lightly ~ protect the neck and chest for cool mornings, peel off for warmer afternoons.

3. Slow your rhythm ~ earlier bedtimes, slower mornings, swap the HITT for walks & yoga.

4. Protect with pungent flavours ~ including ginger/garlic/spring onion in meals to open Lungs and clear Summer remnants 🍂

In Season 2 of Delve, we spoke openly about pregnancy loss and navigating miscarriage - a conversation that so many carry quietly.

Please note, no individualised medical advice is provided.⁠

* This episode contains open conversation about miscarriage and pregnancy loss, which some listeners may find emotionally challenging or distressing. Please listen with care and take a break if needed. You are not alone.

Spring TCM Dietary Therapy ~

Spring in Chinese Dietary Therapy is linked with the Liver and a sense of renewal.

It’s a good time to enjoy lighter, fresher foods like leafy greens, sprouts, and a touch of sour to gently move Qi. Simple cooking methods, like steaming or stir-frying, help keep meals vibrant and support the body’s shift out of winter’s heaviness ~

What Colour is Your Menstrual Blood? ~

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the colour and consistency of your menstrual blood offer valuable insight into your internal balance.

The ideal menstrual bleed is a fresh cherry red with a smooth, steady flow - this reflects healthy Qi and Blood, and harmonious organ function, particularly the Heart, Liver, and Spleen. It suggests that the body is well-nourished, energy is circulating smoothly, and your cycle is functioning optimally.

When the colour or consistency shifts, it can point to underlying patterns of disharmony:
~ Pale pink or watery blood may signal Spleen Qi deficiency, often accompanied by fatigue, bloating, and longer, lighter periods.
~ Bright red blood might suggest Yin deficiency with internal Heat, commonly experienced with symptoms like night sweats, thirst, and early or delayed ovulation.
~ Dark red or brown blood is often a sign of Liver Qi stagnation, and may present alongside PMS, mood changes, breast tenderness, and a stop-start flow.
~ Purple blood with clots may indicate Blood Stasis, a deeper level of stagnation, usually with sharp, stabbing pain and heavier or irregular bleeding.

While these variations can offer helpful clues, any severe or disruptive symptoms should always be discussed with your healthcare practitioner to rule out underlying conditions. Your menstrual cycle is a monthly check-in - and your body’s way of communicating with you ~
