Most people associate estrogen with fertility, but this powerful hormone supports your skin, bones, brain, heart, and immunity too.

When estrogen dips, the signs can show up in surprising ways across your body:

1. Urinary health – Low estrogen thins the urinary tract lining, making infections more frequent.

2. Eye comfort – Reduced tear production leads to dryness and irritation.

3. Joint mobility – Estrogen protects cartilage; less of it means stiffer, sore joints.

4. Hair & nails – Weak growth and brittleness often reflect hormone shifts.

5. Taste changes – Some notice metallic sensations or tingling in the mouth.

6. Healing ability – Estrogen aids tissue repair, so cuts and wounds may recover slower.

7. Skin hydration – Collagen and oil production drop, leaving skin drier.

8. Hearing – Hormonal changes may subtly affect auditory function.

9. Cognitive clarity – Estrogen supports neurotransmitters, and low levels can bring brain fog.

Acupuncture helps with low estrogen by stimulating the nervous system to balance hormones, promoting blood circulation and inducing the release of endorphins, effectively helping to reduce the symptoms of this condition.

✨ Struggling with PMS every month?

You’re not alone — up to 75% of women experience Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS), which can start 1-2 weeks before your period. It’s not just in your head — PMS is a real sign of internal imbalance.

🌸 Common PMS symptoms include:

- Mood swings, irritability, anxiety
- Bloating, breast tenderness
- Fatigue, poor sleep
- Food cravings
- Cramps or back pain
- ⁠Headache

🧠 In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), PMS is a result of disharmony in the Liver, Spleen, and Kidney systems — organs responsible for regulating emotions, energy, and blood flow.

🔎 TCM syndromes linked to PMS:

🔹 Liver Qi stagnation / Liver Blood deficiency → mood swings, cramps, irritability
🔹 Spleen Qi deficiency → bloating, cravings, fatigue
🔹 Kidney deficiency → hormonal imbalance, lower back pain, anxiety

🌿 How TCM can help:

✔️ Acupuncture – Regulates Qi & Blood, calms emotions, eases pain
✔️ Diet & Lifestyle Tips – Warm cooked foods, reduce stress, rest during luteal phase

💆‍♀️ Ready to regulate your cycle naturally?

Let acupuncture support your hormones and bring your body back into balance ⚖️

Is everybody enjoying the start of this brighter, more pleasant, spring-like weather? 🌿☀️ It definitely feels like the season is starting to shift!

At Ashi Therapies, we love this time of year.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), spring is linked with the Wood element and the Liver system — a time of growth, movement and fresh beginnings.

Spending time outdoors during this seasonal change can:

🌱 Help Qi (energy) move more freely through the body

🌸 Support Liver health and emotional balance

🌤 Boost mood and reduce stress

🚶‍♀️ Encourage gentle movement, which promotes circulation

🌬 Allow you to take in fresh air, supporting Lung function

Even a short walk in nature, sitting in the sunshine, or practicing mindful breathing outside can help harmonise your body with the season.

How are you making the most of the lighter days? 💚

Your glow might not be missing—it might just be hiding behind stress 😣

Even with good sleep and skincare, your face can still look tired if blood flow isn’t reaching the surface.

When we’re under chronic stress, the body reroutes blood to protect vital organs. That means less oxygen and fewer nutrients get to the skin, especially through tiny facial vessels called micro-capillaries.These are small blood pathways just under the skin.

When stress tightens them, your glow can fade, and puffiness or dull tone shows up. Skincare can’t fix what stress has closed off ⛔️

Try this gentle 3-step sequence to wake up your skin from the inside:

💆‍♀️Tap lightly alongside your nose and across your cheekbones for 60 seconds. Like a soft drumbeat, not a rub.
💆‍♀️Inhale for 4, exhale for 8. The longer exhale helps calm your nervous system.
💆‍♀️Place both palms gently over your cheeks. Hold still for 30 seconds. Warmth and stillness help your skin feel safe again. 💆🏼‍♀️

This simple rhythm helps reopen those tiny vessels using the body’s own feedback systems—breath, touch, and calm 😌

Over time, you will notice less tension, brighter skin tone, and less puffiness especially if you give this a boost with booking in for facial acupuncture, cupping and gua sha.

If this sounds like something for you, then please DM or call 07500 116 394 and let’s get started on restoring oxygen flow, reduce puffiness, and bringing vibrancy back—naturally

🍊 What do you do with your tangerine peels?

Most people toss them… but in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), dried tangerine peel is a powerful healing herb known as Chen Pi.

For centuries, Chen Pi has been used to:

✨ Support digestion
✨ Reduce bloating & gas
✨ Transform phlegm & ease cough
✨ Regulate Qi (especially for stress-related digestive issues)
✨ Strengthen the Spleen & support gut health

In TCM, aged tangerine peel becomes more potent over time — some practitioners even value peels aged for years!

🌿 How to Dry Tangerine Peel at Home

It’s simple:

1️⃣ Peel organic tangerines (avoid chemically treated skins).
2️⃣ Gently scrape away excess white pith if very thick (optional).
3️⃣ Lay peels flat in a warm, dry place out of direct sunlight.
4️⃣ Let them air-dry for 5–10 days until completely dry and crisp.
(You can also use a dehydrator on low heat.)
5️⃣ Store in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dark place.
The longer they age, the deeper and more aromatic they become.

🍵 How to Make Tangerine Peel Tea

• Break 1–2 small pieces of dried peel
• Add to 1 cup of hot water
• Simmer gently for 10–15 minutes
• Strain and enjoy

Optional: Add fresh ginger for extra digestive warmth.

💛 Health Benefits of Tangerine Peel Tea

Drinking Chen Pi tea can help:

✔ Relieve bloating after meals
✔ Ease nausea
✔ Reduce dampness & phlegm
✔ Support healthy metabolism
✔ Calm the stomach during stress

It’s especially helpful after heavy meals or during seasonal transitions.

Next time you peel a tangerine… don’t throw away the medicine 🍊✨

Do you suffer from allergic rhinitis? 🌿🤧

At Ashi Therapies, we often see clients struggling with this common but frustrating condition.

Allergic rhinitis happens when your immune system overreacts to allergens such as pollen, dust, or pet hair.

✨ Common symptoms include:

• Sneezing fits
• Runny or blocked nose
• Itchy nose, throat, or eyes
• Watery/red eyes
• Sinus pressure or headaches
• Fatigue or “foggy” feeling

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, allergic rhinitis is often linked to:

🌬️ Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) deficiency – When your body’s protective energy is weak, external pathogens like Wind, Cold, or Heat can invade more easily.

🌿 Lung Qi deficiency – The Lungs govern the nose in TCM. If Lung Qi is weak, nasal symptoms appear.

🌾 Spleen Qi deficiency – Poor digestion can lead to Dampness and phlegm accumulation, contributing to congestion.

🌀 Wind invasion – Sudden sneezing and itching are often seen as “Wind” symptoms in TCM.

How can acupuncture help?

Acupuncture works by:

✔️ Strengthening your Wei Qi to improve resilience
✔️ Supporting Lung and Spleen function
✔️ Reducing inflammation
✔️ Regulating the immune response
✔️ Relieving nasal congestion and sinus pressure

Many clients notice improvements in frequency and severity of symptoms, and regular treatment can help build longer-term resistance during allergy seasons.

🍌Happy National Banana Bread Day!! 🍌

Honestly it’s a thing, look it up 🤣🤣🤣

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), banana bread is generally considered a damp-producing food due to its combination of wheat flour, sugar, and the moistening nature of bananas. While it is comforting, it is advised to avoid excessive consumption because it can create “dampness” in the body, leading to sluggishness, poor digestion, or weight gain. However, when modified with healthier ingredients (gluten-free flours, less sugar, warming spices), it can be adapted into a more balanced, “feel-good” snack.

TCM Perspective on Ingredients:

Bananas: Considered “cold” in nature, they are used to clear heat and moisten the body (beneficial for dry coughs or constipation), but can worsen conditions for those with a cold or weak digestive system.

Wheat/Flour: Refined white flour is considered “damp,” forming waste products that can lead to, for example, cellulite.

Sugar/Sweeteners: High sugar content contributes to “dampness” and can hinder spleen function.

Warming Spices: Ingredients like cinnamon and ginger, often added to banana bread, help neutralize the “cold” nature of the banana.

TCM-Friendly Adjustments:

Flour: Replace with almond meal, coconut flour, or spelt flour to reduce dampness.

Sweetener: Use moderate amounts of maple syrup, honey, or coconut sugar instead of refined white sugar.

Spices: Add ginger, cinnamon, or nutmeg to improve digestion and introduce warmth.

When to Avoid:

If you have a constitution prone to “dampness”—often characterized by feeling heavy, having loose stools, or having a thick tongue coating—it is best to minimize intake.

So there you have it, the information you never knew you needed!!!

Do you walk barefoot at home?

👣 Why Walking Barefoot at Home Isn’t Always Ideal (From a TCM Perspective)

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the soles of the feet are home to important energy points — especially the Kidney 1 (Yongquan) point, the very first point on the Kidney meridian.

The Kidney system in TCM is deeply connected to:

✨ Vital energy (Qi)
✨ Immunity
✨ Lower back strength
✨ Reproductive health
✨ Overall vitality

When we walk barefoot on cold floors — especially tile, stone, or concrete — Cold and Damp can enter the body through the feet. Over time, this may contribute to:

❄️ Feeling cold easily
❄️ Fatigue
❄️ Lower back discomfort
❄️ Menstrual discomfort
❄️ Frequent urination
❄️ Weakened immunity

TCM teaches that keeping the feet warm helps protect Kidney Yang energy — your body’s foundational warmth and drive.

🌿 Simple tip:

Wear socks or supportive house slippers at home, especially in cooler months. Your future self (and your Kidneys!) will thank you.

If you often experience cold feet, low energy, or lower back ache, this could be a sign your Kidney energy needs support.
