I never considered myself beautiful.

If anything, I felt the opposite — like there was something “off” about me.
Awkward, not pretty… sometimes even ugly in my own eyes.

And I’m not writing this to hear “you’re beautiful.”
This isn’t about compliments.

This is about how our self-image is formed.

Only now, when I look at my old photos, I catch myself thinking:
“Damn… I was beautiful.”

A soft smile.
A round face.
Something natural and alive.

But the most important part is — I remember how I felt back then, when those photos were taken.
I couldn’t see any of it.
I was “not enough” for myself.

And here is the truth:
Beauty is not about how you look.
It’s about who you believe you are inside.

I don’t want to go into trauma or the past here.
The real question is:

What can I do today, despite everything I’ve been through, to stop seeing myself through those old eyes?

For me, the answer right now is:

— noticing how I speak to myself
— learning to see instead of judge
— coming back into my body instead of old feelings
— and slowly stopping being harsh with myself

You don’t have to suddenly “love yourself.”
Sometimes it’s enough to begin with
not hurting yourself from the inside.

And maybe one day, you’ll look at yourself
and see not flaws —
but a human being.

Trusting life — I’m learning this, just like any of my patients.

Sometimes fear takes over:
that I won’t make it, that I’ll fail,
that I won’t handle finances, projects, life.

But there is something stronger than fear.

The body remembers how many times I’ve already made it through.
A quiet inner support that doesn’t break, even when everything around feels unstable.

Especially now.
When my home is in a war zone.
When everything can change at any moment.
When the people I love are under constant threat.

Today I spoke with a friend in Ukraine.
She doesn’t go to bomb shelters in Odesa.

I asked, “Why?”
She said, “We’ve learned to live with it… and to trust life.”

She told me stories —
how some people were hiding in shelters and still didn’t survive,
while others stayed out in the open and did.

Who decides that who will survive?
I don’t know.

Strength is not about not being afraid.
Strength is about continuing, even when you are.

If you’re scared right now —
it doesn’t mean you’re weak.

I’m still looking for ways, for anchors, to hold myself through this.
And you will find yours too.

And we will make it.

Happy Easter for those who celebrate.

We don’t jump from negative to positive.
We pass through neutral.
“I don’t care” is sometimes peace

I didn’t grow up with these tools.
I learned them through Chinese medicine—and now I can’t imagine life without them.

Simple things can make a big difference when used correctly.

My goal is not just treatment, but giving my patients tools they can use at home.

Chronic pain is not always about injury...
In Chinese Medicine, it can come from everyday habits.
1. Cold
Cold constricts the body → causing stiffness and pain.
2. Stress
Stress creates tension and blocks natural flow.
3. Exhaustion
When your body is depleted, it can't recover.
4. Poor nutrition
Your body needs proper nourishment to heal.
5. Dampness
Can come from diet or damp, rainy environments
6. Old injuries
Old injuries can leave behind stagnation and pain.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale, Pu Gong Ying) has been used in Chinese Medicine for centuries for breast health — including swelling, tenderness, and inflammation.

Traditionally, it is used to clear heat and reduce toxicity, which is why it appears in formulas for breast inflammation and abscesses.

Modern research has shown that dandelion contains bioactive compounds (such as flavonoids and phenolic acids) with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may help explain its traditional use.

Some studies also suggest:

support for liver function and detoxification pathways
mild diuretic effects, which may help reduce fluid accumulation

These mechanisms may contribute to its role in reducing swelling and supporting tissue health.

While often considered gentle, herbs should always be used with proper guidance — especially during breastfeeding — under the supervision of a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner.

About my pillar. My reality.

Sometimes life moves so fast that body starts sending signals of endless anxiety, or inner restlessness.

I understand the mechanism — I need pillars. I look for them.

Children? Yes, they are adults, but I am still their pillar, not the other way around.
Parents? I’ve already outgrown the age where they can be my anchor.
Money? If you and your ancestors lived through wars, exiles, and upheavals — money doesn’t feel stable.
God? I grew up in a family where this wasn’t a source of grounding. And now, I have more questions than answers.
Partners? Things don’t always work out.
Psychologists? Interesting, but it feels endless, digging through it all.

And then, I am left with myself.

Life was harder before.
And I managed.

So I can manage now too.

Slow down.
Return to your body.

My body — my pillar.

Where do you find your pillar today?

Where your headache is… matters.

Different locations and types of pain can point to different imbalances in the body. That’s why in Chinese Medicine, headaches are not treated the same way.

If you’re dealing with recurring headaches or migraines, it’s worth looking deeper.

Я выбрала китайскую медицину из-за логики.
После точных наук я не верю в случайности.
Каждый симптом — часть системы.
И самые сильные ответы — всегда простые.

Всё уже связано — нужно только увидеть.
