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.

You will never reach a point in your life where everything is resolved, where everything is neatly tied up with a bow. That’s the main thing. There won’t be a “final scene,” only an ongoing adventure film without a final ending. You learn to love the mess of your life, its constantly changing nature, its unpredictability.

And here you stand. You stand like unchanging silence, in the very center of life’s storm, like a vast open space in which joy and pain, ecstasy and agony, boredom and bliss, can arise and fade, like waves in the ocean. And there are no significant problems when you know yourself as the space for all of this.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, your energy (Qi) is closely connected to three organ systems: Spleen, Lungs, and Kidneys.

• Spleen helps transform food into energy
• Lungs help you receive energy from the air
• Kidneys store your deep energy reserves

In Chinese medicine, these organs represent functional systems, not just the physical organs themselves. So when we talk about “Spleen Qi” or “Kidney energy,” it doesn’t mean the organ is diseased — it describes how the body produces, moves, and stores energy.

✨ This perspective looks at the body as an interconnected system supporting balance and vitality.
