How does it feel? Getting acupuncture is just something else ⁠=^.^=

It’s a deep, welcoming relaxation or heaviness. A wave of pleasant warmth or tingling (qi)sensation. Or even a body mind and soul altering nap. Some people say they’ve never been this calm for years. And for some they feel acu-high after a session, being happy calm and unbothered at the same time.

Is this something you, your family and your besties need? Comment below for questions ^_^.

Understanding your anxiety. The acupuncture edition
In my clinic anxiety isn’t the same for everyone. In general actually TCM and acupuncturists treat anxiety as a symptom pattern involving different organs that are out of balance. We identify symptom patterns to find the root imbalance to calm the nervous system.

These are the three most common anxiety patterns:
Spleen Qi Deficiency (The Worry type): Often involves constant overthinking, rumination, feeling mentally drained, poor digestion, and fatigue. We will focus on mind gut relation and strengthening the Spleen qi.

Heart Qi Deficiency (The Palpitations type): Characterized by nervousness, insomnia, easily startled, and heart palpitations. The heart qi is deficient and sometimes scattered. We work to calm the Heart and the Shen (Spirit).

Kidney Yin Deficiency (The Burnout type): Anxiety that comes with deep exhaustion caused by work, restlessness, tensed muscles or muscle pain, and night sweats. We focus on nourishing the Kidney yin.
Besides these there is anxiety related to heart fire and liver and some combinations of them. The one related to heart fire and liver often comes with emotions like frustration and anger.

Acupuncture is always a complementary therapy. But can be in many cases very effective. Even though I was trained in psychology. Always check with your primary therapist.

Did this help you to recognize your pattern of anxiety? Let me know in the comments.

Cook TCM inspired food with me. In TCM a meal should be harmonizing and balancing besides being delicious and healthy. Here are some of my essentials for starting your healthy food journey according to principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Herbs
Herbs are added to cooking either to enhance properties and flavor and/or to benefit one’s bodyconsitution. In TCM there are 9 body constitution types and depending on which type you have you can benefit from increasing or decreasing certain foods. That’s why in general you should use herbs with moderation.

Goji Berries: in TCM this is good for the Kidney, Liver and eyes. Use for tea (together with for instance chrysanthemum flower), porridge, but also soup.

Jujube Dates: Good for blood and Qi. They also calm the Spirit (Shen) and are great for anxiety and insomnia. Also for broth, soups, and tea.

Ginger: A warming herb. Used to warm the digestive center (Spleen/Stomach) and clear the channels, especially useful for cold hands/feet or nausea. For stirfry, steamed dishes and soups.

Mint & coriander: are my personal favorite herbs because they balance out the dishes when and are both cooling. So you can use them to complement a spicy or fried dish.

Mixing methods:

In TCM cooking can emphasize thermal properties of food. We don’t like eating raw food. Mix your methods within each meal.

Variety of greens and proteins:

Seasonal eating/living is important in TCM. For proteins I like to use easily digestible ones like tofu and chicken. And also whitefish and beans/legumes are great as they are more neutral compared to red meat which is warming. It is important to understand the body constitution and get to know what foods to increase or decrease. At an acupuncture treatment your acupuncturist always assesses your body constitution for a tailored treatment plan.

If you have any questions, let me know me know in the comments 🫶🏼☯️
