Day 5 of the Spring Reset - the perfect TCM Tea
Ok day 5, who’s still with me?
Today is a really simple tea recipe. Making seasonal teas really lies at the heart of Chinese Medicine and something I often encourage patients to do. If you haven’t ever gotten into making herbal teas in this way, I really think you should. The ritual of it is so lovely.

This tea is perfect both for the time of year but also for many of my patients who also have menstrual issues going on.
Jujube - Chinese red dates are sweet and nourishing.
Goji - even sweeter, good for the blood and the mind
Chrysanthemum flowers - smooth the Liver, they gently encourage movement
Lemon - sour, the flavour of the season, and perfect for stagnation

You’ll find these ingredients all in the Chinese supermarket or order them online. It’s actually a really delicious drink!
Bonus: allow the tea to gentle bubble away for 15-20 mins the night before while making dinner, then add to a thermos, ready for sipping on the next morning.

Day 6 tomorrow!

Day 4 of the Spring Reset - an outlet for your emotions

In Chinese Medicine, your mental and physical health are intrinsically linked. And understanding your emotions is essential to understanding symptoms. But it’s more than just a way of understanding the body. It’s also a way of improving the body.
Emotions are a stimulus, something that our body needs to respond to. It’s when this doesn’t happen appropriately that our emotions can start to cause disease.
In Chinese Medicine, we think about processing and moving through our emotions and how this is essential for our health.
We do have to sometimes suppress our emotional response, for our safety and the safety of others. But it is then our responsibility to create a safe space for ourselves to move through those emotions.

Our menstrual cycle and hormones depend on the flow of energy, keeping things moving gently and consistently. In Spring, there is a tendency to stagnation. Unprocessed emotions also create stagnation. Meaning our emotional processing at this time of year is essential.
This can take a physical or mental form, and something acupuncture can really help with.

Check back tomorrow for day 5!

Day 2 of the Spring Reset - Eating for Spring
In Spring, we want to keep things moving. The body tends to stagnation, often resulting in changes to our cycle like PMS, cramps and fatigue. Small changes to our diet and eating habits can help
⭐️Eating little and often - avoid overeating, espeially in spring. Instead opt for eating smaller meals, more often, at regular times. This helps the digestion to avoid becoming sluggish
⭐️Eat leafy greens - generally whats in season is what we need to eat at that time. And with spring greens and spinach coming into season, now it the time to get your fill. In TCM, leafy greens support our liver function (Sping is liver season!) Not to mention they are full of iron, folate and other micronutrients.
⭐️Try eating sprouts, such as broccoli or bean sprouts. Sprouts are a great example of spring energy – a tiny seed of potential energy starting to expand, just like the spring itself. You can buy sprouts or grow your own for very little money, so if you’ve never tried them before, now is the time!

Check back tomorrow for day 3 of the spring reset!

Last week, I attended the Hertility 2025 Data Report presentation. This is now the largest data set of womens health. Here are 5 things we can all learn from the data, but evidence of this is seen in our clinic everyday.

⭐️A woman’s concerns about her own body are the strongest predictor of a diagnosis.
⭐️Exhaustion has become a social expectation.
⭐️We are stressed!
⭐️FemTech does not automatically increase understanding.
⭐️Traditional Health pathways are failing women.
We see the real-life people that are examples of these facts everyday. And now, thanks to Hertility, we have the data to back it up.
And hopefully, in our clinical work, in some small way we are working to change these facts, one patient at a time.

80% of women who believed something was wrong resulted in a diagnosis!
The work at is finally bringing big data to women’s health and showing the statistics on women’s health in the UK right now.
I was very struck by this stat, as it shows how much women need to be listened too, despite that not being the experience for many.

Very grateful to Hertility and .helenoneill for the invite to their data presentation.

If you feel like something is wrong, you are probably right, so get in touch now!

I know I’m a part of the Wellness Industry but I kinda hate it.
Totally inspired by and her post on her quiet rebellion on the beauty industry!

✨In a wellness industry that prioritises the data outcomes of exercise over the feeling, I intentionally do some exercise every week without tracking.

✨In a wellness industry that tries to create fear around food and see food only as fuel, I eat to have fun and socialise.

✨In a Wellness Industry that favours influencers and branding over expertise, I keep studying and learning more.

✨In a Wellness Industry that try’s to tell us there is a superfood, powder or supplement to solve all our problems, I refuse to eat any food in powder form.

✨In a Wellness Industry that tries to turn our bodies into projects, with all focus on our ability to improve, I try to remember my body is just that, a body. And it’s doing a cracking job!

What does NHS fertility care look like in the NHS?
Who’s eligible?
What’s included?

Here’s a quick run down but this is something we always help patients navigate and prepare for when working with us.

I am the only UK acupuncturist with a Masters of Science in Women’s Health!
I officially have my MSc, having passed with a distinction.
I’m super proud of this, it’s certainly the best thing I have ever done. And everyday I see how much of an impact it makes in my clinical work.
Forever grateful for

Meet Drew - Our new Associate Acupuncturist at A D Acupuncture 😁😁😁

Our team is growing, and we are welcoming Drew into the A D family. I first met Drew when he was a student and I was instantly impressed. I’ve had my eye on him, with every intention of bringing him onboard when that time came for the business. So I have every confidence in him and I know you are going to love working with him.

Drew is starting on February 2nd and will be working on Monday and Friday afternoons, offering appointments from 2.30pm to 6.30pm. This is amazing as my current availability is very limited when it comes to afternoons and evenings. So all of you who find appointment times tricky with me, Drew might be able to offer you something that suits your diary better.

I’m really pleased to be expanding our offering and bringing in a new team member!

A little bit of behind the scenes life lately.
1. All the dog walks in the cold
2. Home by the fire is the only place I want to be
3. Working from the soft office with the CEO (fifer)
4. Whiskey cocktails by the fire
5. The beginning of the season where a night of just cheese is considered a meal
6. Family days that include a slightly creepy puppet woman
7. Thanksgiving! The real end of autumn, and welcoming of winter.

Hi 👋👋 New Headshot!
I'm excited to share a big announcement on Monday, and I thought this would be a great opportunity to share a bit about myself and my journey with acupuncture.

I first discovered acupuncture when I was 12 years old. I was struggling with a neurological condition that left me with bladder issues, and after years of unsuccessful biomedical treatments, acupuncture changed/saved my life. After just six weeks, my symptoms started to improve, and within a year, I was symptom-free.

What's even more special is that my acupuncturist from back then is still my acupuncturist today. She's been a constant source of support and guidance in my life, even writing a piece for my wedding ceremony and bringing my original consultation documents to the wedding.

Currently, I'm going through a series of weekly acupuncture treatments, of course still with my same incredible acupuncturist. As an endo girlie, I find it really helpful to do these courses every now and then. And let me tell you, it's amazing how much of a difference it makes. I'm feeling energized and positive, bouncing off the walls after several weeks of treatment.
