Are you drinking enough water?
We live in a busy, fast paced world, and I’m noticing more clients find it hard to pause and check in with their body until they complete their intake form at their first appointment.
So today is a simple check-in about water.
This isn’t about saying you must drink 1.6-2.5L of water a day. Everyone’s body is different, and hydration needs vary.
This is for the people who:
💦 Feel thirst or notice a dry mouth, but don’t feel naturally drawn to reach for the water bottle
💦 Are run off their feet and forget to take a moment to drink water
💦 Are parents rushing from drop offs, pick ups, work, dinner, and bedtime routines without a sip of water
If that sounds like you, this may be a gentle reminder to look at your fluid intake and slowly build habits that support balance.
Our bodies are largely water, and good health is partly about keeping the cycle of input and loss moving.
In Chinese medicine, this experience can sometimes be associated with patterns of fluid metabolism or dampness, where:
💧The mouth feels dry but there isn’t strong desire to drink
💧Drinking may feel uncomfortable or slightly nauseating
💧Fluids feel more “stuck” or make you feel bloated after drinking
If this feels familiar, get in touch to see if chines medicine might have some options for you.
But for right now, take this small reminder to take stock and make sure you have dropped the ball on fluids 🫶
