In both Traditional Chinese Medicine and modern physiology, the liver is the body’s main detox organ — filtering what we eat, breathe, and feel.

In TCM, the liver also governs the smooth flow of Qi, the vital energy that keeps us balanced emotionally and physically. When liver Qi becomes stagnant, that flow is blocked — we may feel tense, irritable, or quick to react.

Over time, Qi stagnation can affect everything from digestion to mood. Supporting your liver means more than just detoxing — it’s about restoring flow, both in body and mind.

When Qi moves freely, we feel calm, clear, and resilient.

Fertility naturally shifts after 40 — egg quality, hormone balance, and energy production begin to change. But with the right support, your body can still thrive.

At Eastern Wellness, we blend Traditional Chinese Medicine and Functional Medicine to address both the root and the branch — uncovering imbalances, improving circulation, and restoring harmony.

TCM nourishes Kidney Qi, balances Yin and Yang, and supports uterine health through acupuncture, herbs, and diet.

Functional medicine optimizes hormones, reduces inflammation, supports the gut, and strengthens mitochondria for improved egg quality.

It’s not about fighting age — it’s about restoring balance and resilience so your body can do what it’s designed to do.

Your body is wise. Support it, and possibilities remain.

Are Our Bodies Intuitive to Our Needs?

Yes — but only when they’re in balance.

When we’re exhausted, stressed, or overwhelmed, it becomes harder to hear what the body is truly asking for. A headache, fatigue, or craving might just feel like another obstacle — but often, it’s a signal.

In a balanced state, intuition and awareness work together. But when the body is already imbalanced, our instincts can lead us toward what feels comforting — not what’s actually healing.

Intuitive eating and living are powerful, but they work best when we first restore balance. Then, your body’s messages become clear again.

Heart palpitations aren’t always random — sometimes, they’re your body’s way of saying slow down.

Overworking, undernourishing, dehydration, and excessive caffeine all place stress on the body. Over time, your nervous system adapts by staying in a state of overactivity — and your heart begins to show it.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this reflects an imbalance of Yin and Yang. When your Yang Qi (the active, energetic force) becomes too strong at night, your system can’t fully rest — leaving you tired in the morning and wired at night.

Your heart doesn’t need more stimulation. It needs balance, hydration, rest, and nourishment.

Your brain and gut are always communicating — when one is imbalanced, the other feels it.

A healthy gut supports a calm, focused mind. Inflammation, stress, or poor diet can disrupt this connection, affecting mood, energy, and clarity.

In TCM, both the brain and gut rely on strong Qi flow. By reducing stress, eating nourishing foods, and supporting digestion, you protect both systems.

Care for your gut, and your brain will thank you.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Kidney Essence (Jing) is the foundation of growth, development, and vitality — especially in children.

Today’s kids are constantly absorbing information — scrolling, streaming, and multitasking. This constant stimulation can overuse their Kidney Essence, the very energy that supports focus, learning, and healthy development.

To restore balance, help your child create quiet space — time away from screens to rest, move, and reconnect with the natural rhythm of life.

When we protect Kidney Essence, we protect the foundation of their future health.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, s*xual energy is rooted in Kidney Qi — the same energy that fuels our vitality, focus, and emotional resilience.

For women, Kidney Qi naturally depletes through menstruation, childbirth, and hormonal shifts. Add chronic stress, fatigue, or overwork, and it’s easy to see why low libido becomes common.

To restore s*xual energy, we must rebuild Kidney Qi — not through quick fixes, but through restoration.

That means managing stress, creating space for rest, and allowing your body to pause and recharge.

Sometimes, healing your s*x drive starts with something as simple as a deep breath and permission to take a break.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Liver governs the emotion of anger. When Liver Qi flows smoothly, we feel calm, flexible, and focused. But when it becomes stagnant — often from stress, frustration, or overreaction — that balance is disrupted.

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us live in a constant state of irritation or tension without realizing it. Over time, that emotional stagnation can affect digestion, sleep, and even hormonal balance.

Caring for your Liver isn’t just about detoxing — it’s about restoring emotional flow and allowing yourself to respond, not react.

PCOS affects 1 in 10 women, showing up as irregular cycles, weight gain, acne, or fertility struggles.

Western medicine often manages symptoms, but TCM looks deeper — seeing PCOS as a systemic imbalance, often involving Kidney deficiency, phlegm-dampness, and blood stasis.

Acupuncture, herbal medicine, and mindful lifestyle support can help restore balance, regulate hormones, and improve cycles and metabolism.

With consistent care, PCOS can be managed naturally — supporting both reproductive health and overall wellbeing.

Movement is one of the best ways to strengthen Kidney Qi, but not all exercise is created equal.

In TCM, we emphasize restorative movement — walking, gentle yoga, even gardening — to support energy and resilience. High-intensity workouts can have their place, but if you’re already stressed or depleted, they may drain more than they give.

The goal isn’t to push harder — it’s to move in ways that restore balance and nourish your body from within.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, pregnancy reflects the constitution of the mother — how her body adapts to the demands of growing new life.

Deficiency means the body’s functions are lower than optimal, like when thyroid hormone drops during pregnancy. Excess means one system is working too hard, often at the expense of another. Together, this imbalance can leave a mother feeling tired, gaining weight herself while the baby may not grow as expected.

Prenatal care in TCM is about restoring balance. By supporting what is deficient and calming what is excessive, we nourish both mother and baby so they can thrive together.

Weight gain during pregnancy isn’t just about numbers on a scale — it directly affects the health of both mother and baby. Balanced weight gain supports healthy blood supply, amniotic fluid, and reduces risks for complications.

For women with a BMI over 24.9, weight gain should ideally stay within 15–25 lbs. For those with a BMI over 30, the range is even tighter, around 10–15 lbs. Keeping weight gain in balance can lower risks and improve outcomes for both mother and newborn.

How do we support this? With mindful food choices, appropriate movement, and reducing inflammation — all while nourishing both mother and baby.

Pregnancy is a journey of balance. The right guidance helps you and your baby thrive.

About me

When I was growing up, my mom always told me,"you need to know how to take care of yourself. We, women, are the foundation of our community and family." She was the type doesn't like to take medication. She told me nature has the best medicine and the kitchen is your best medicine cabinet. My grandmother was also an amazing woman. She was my teacher of herbal medicine. I was taught to use herbs from her small garden to take care of my mouth sore, colds, and tummy aches. That little seed of healing with natural herbs was planted since very early in my life. As I grew up, I was set to be a doctor by my parent's request. But I was drawn deeply to the amazing aroma of the herbs and decided to study Chinese medicine. When I started my medical training in Taiwan and Chinese, I was guided by a lot of amazing Chinese Medicine masters that showed me how to follow the natural rhythm to treat illness and live a healthy life. Their principle of following the nature of balance influenced my philosophy of life. Now I want to bring this practice to my patients and help my patients to live healthy, balanced, and focus on the whole person.
