✨ Christmas Joy… and Christmas Stress ✨

The festive season is filled with warmth, connection and celebration — but it can also bring long to-do lists, late nights, emotional pressure, and that feeling of being pulled in every direction.

At Ashi Therapies, we see this every year:
clients who love Christmas, yet feel overwhelmed, tense, or run-down by the time it arrives.

The good news?

You can support your body and mind during the holiday season. 🌿

🎄 How Acupuncture Can Help

• Calms the nervous system
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Eases muscle tension
• Supports better sleep
• Helps you feel grounded and balanced

A gentle acupuncture session can create space for your body to reset — giving you the clarity and calm you need to enjoy the season fully.

🎁 Simple Self-Help Tips for a Less Stressful Christmas:

• Take 5 slow, deep breaths before starting your day
• Keep your shoulders relaxed (stress loves to sit there!)
• Prioritise rest — even 10 minutes makes a difference
• Drink water between festive treats
• Say “no” when you need to protect your energy

Remember: you deserve to feel well, not just get through December.

🌟 If you’re feeling the festive pressure, Ashi Therapies is here to support you.

Wishing you a calm, joyful, and balanced Christmas season. ❤️

✨ How Grief Affects Us According to Traditional Chinese Medicine — and How We Can Heal ✨

This is a personal one for me today 💔

In Chinese medicine, grief is more than an emotion — it’s an energy that deeply influences the Lungs and Large Intestine.
When these organs are out of balance, you may experience:

🌬️ Shortness of breath
😮‍💨 Frequent sighing
💤 Fatigue
💧 Persistent sadness
🤧 Lowered immunity
💨 Feelings of being “stuck” or unable to let go

Grief asks us to slow down… but it doesn’t have to keep us stagnant.

How We Can Support Healing

Chinese medicine offers gentle, holistic ways to help the body process grief:

🫁 Breathwork — opens the Lung channel and releases emotional heaviness

🌿 Herbal support — nurtures the Lung and Metal element

🚶‍♀️ Movement like qigong or walking — keeps qi circulating

📖 Journaling + reflection — encourages emotional release

💧 Adequate hydration — supports the Lung’s moisture and resilience

How Acupuncture Helps

At Ashi Therapies, acupuncture can be a powerful support during periods of grief by:

✨ Regulating the nervous system
✨ Strengthening Lung qi and immunity
✨ Softening emotional tension
✨ Helping you feel grounded and connected in your body
✨ Supporting the natural process of release and renewal

Grief is a journey — you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Your body already carries the wisdom to heal. We simply help guide it back into balance.

🤍 Acupuncture appointments are available at Ashi Therapies.

🌬️❄️ WHY BODY PAIN FEELS WORSE IN WINTER — Chinese Medicine Perspective ❄️🌬️

If your joints ache more and old injuries “wake up” as the weather cools, you’re not imagining it.

In Chinese Medicine, winter is the season dominated by Cold and Stagnation—two major factors that can aggravate pain in the body.

✨ Why pain increases in winter:

• Cold contracts the muscles & slows circulation, making tightness, stiffness and joint pain more noticeable.

• Qi and Blood move more slowly, especially when we’re less active or staying indoors.

• Old injuries resurface because Cold easily lodges in areas where the body is already weak.

• The Kidney system—which governs the bones, joints and lower back—is most vulnerable in winter, making these areas more sensitive.

🔥 HOW ASHI THERAPIES CAN HELP

🧵 Acupuncture

Stimulates the flow of Qi & Blood, warms the channels, reduces inflammation, and helps the body release tension. Perfect for chronic pain, joint stiffness and winter sluggishness.

🔥 Fire Cupping

Creates deep warmth in the tissues, draws out Cold, improves circulation and releases tight fascia/muscles. Great for back pain, neck pain and stress-related tension.

⚡️ K.O.R.E Therapy

A dynamic system combining muscle testing, spinal stimulation and soft-tissue work to rebalance the body and restore natural movement. Ideal for functional pain, misalignment and long-term imbalances.

❄️ Winter doesn’t have to be painful.

With the right support, your body can feel warmer, looser and more energised throughout the season.

📍 Book your winter pain-relief session with Ashi Therapies today.

☯️ Treat your feet 👣 ☯️

🌿 Qi-Boosting Foot Soak Ritual

A Qi-boosting foot soak is a warm herbal soak used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to gently support circulation, relaxation, and overall energy flow.

✨ How it helps:

The warmth encourages the body to relax, release tension, and “open the channels,” helping your Qi move more freely.

Many people use it to feel grounded, restored, and re-energized after a long day.

👣 How to do it:

Fill a basin with comfortably warm water.

Add a handful of sea salt and a few slices of fresh ginger (or your favorite warming herbs).

Soak your feet for 15–20 minutes while breathing slowly and deeply.

Dry your feet and keep them warm afterward.

A simple ritual, but such a powerful reset. ✨

Do you or somebody that you love have POTs?

Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a condition where the heart rate increases significantly when standing, often leading to dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, brain fog, and feeling faint.

While every person’s experience is unique, many people look for supportive therapies to help manage their symptoms — and acupuncture is one option that may offer benefits.

✨ How Acupuncture May Help People With POTS

Acupuncture is known for its ability to influence the autonomic nervous system — the part of the body that regulates heart rate, circulation, and digestion. Because POTS involves dysregulation in this system, acupuncture may help by:

• Supporting autonomic balance – helping shift the body out of “fight-or-flight” dominance

• Improving circulation – which may help reduce dizziness or lightheadedness when standing

• Reducing stress, fatigue & tension – common symptom triggers for many people with POTS

• Supporting overall energy and grounding – helping the body adapt better to daily demands

• Promoting relaxation & better sleep – which can improve symptom stability over time

Many people report feeling calmer, more stable, and more regulated after sessions.

💛 If you live with POTS, you’re not alone.

Holistic therapies like acupuncture can be a gentle way to support your nervous system.
