Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is attracting increasing attention as a method for meeting the demands for higher remission rate (not experiencing depression any longer), faster onset, persistent antidepressant action, and fewer adverse effects PMC3654702.

✨ Comment SPIRIT and I will send you a link to my reviewed formula “Spirit Lift”.

Spirit Lift is a formula to treat depression, anxiety, and irritability. Research shows that this ancient antidepressant herbal medicine alleviated the depressive symptoms in a rapid and lasting manner. Because current conventional antidepressants act slowly, it is urgent to develop the therapeutics that can quickly and enduringly treat depression and this does just that PMID: 23710213. Related symptoms also treated by Spirit Lift are digestive disorders like GERD, acid reflux, indigestion, and nausea.

Chinese medicine has written about and treated depression since its conception, even creating renowned and researched formulas to help treat it through relieving the stagnation of Qi and Blood. Chinese medicine traces depression back to several consistent patterns of disharmony of dampness, toxicity, stagnant food, and phlegm. These patterns create stagnation of Qi and Blood (energy and fluid) movement which means the body isn’t getting the nourishment it needs to function properly.

How does this formula work? Five herbs, Xiang Fu, Chuan Xiong, Zhi Zi, Cang Zu, and Shen Qu treat several disharmonies. The goal is to liberate Qi from stagnation and eradicate specific syndromes of depression by individual herbs, that is, Qi depression by Xiang Fu, blood depression by Chuan Xiong, fire depression by Zhi Zi, damp depression by Cang Zu, and food depression by Shen Qu PMID: 23710213.

The Liver is the root of resistance to extreme fatigue.” This statement from the Nei Jing refers to the concept that the Liver’s ability to tolerate physical fatigue is related to its Blood-storing and Qi-coursing functions.

In Chinese medicine, the Liver is responsible for the smooth flow of Blood, Qi and emotions in the body.

Our modern day lifestyles have resulted in the Liver being the most congested organ due to our constant stressed out state. To be able to withstand the constant stress of life manifesting as “extreme fatigue,” the Liver uses Blood, a “Yin” substance. which over time becomes depleted, ultimately leading to Liver depression.

Liver Blood deficiency is very common. It manifests in symptoms relating to the Liver and its connections throughout the body. Symptoms can be dry eyes, poor night vision, chronic tense muscles, restless leg syndrome, and poor sleep and emotional imbalances, even depression.

How can we support the Liver system, our eyes, our stress and our sleep?

Grounding and connecting to nature daily. Stretching the tendons and receiving sunlight. Focusing on easy to digest foods (check my reel from last night), speaking your truth, avoiding greasy and fatty foods, stimulants, alcohol and monitoring pharmaceutical intake.

📍 Comment “Liver” below to receive a direct link to my Liver healing herbs and supplements.

- Magnesium and vitamin D supplements: magnesium levels have been linked with Liver function
- Liver Recharge tincture helps eliminate toxins and balance the Liver system to create a pain free, healthy, and an emotional state. This wildcrafted herbal tincture is available on my website.
- Insomnia I for those emotionally disturbed and suffering from sleep problems.
- Goji Extract for eye issues, fatty liver and all around Liver health.

Symptoms of Blood deficiency in TCM are: anemia, anxiety/ depression, cold hands/ feet, cracking/ popping joints, numbness in the extremities, dizziness, dry hair/ nails, fatigue, weakness, insomnia, migraines/ headaches with the menstrual cycle, scany/ irregular periods, painful menstruation.

When the Blood is plentiful and nourished, the body is healthy! Digestion, immunity, and mental function are strong. When you eat to nourish the Blood, you’re eating to please the functioning of the Spleen system. In Chinese medicine, the Stomach and Spleen are the root of our health, in western terms it is like saying that everything starts in our gut. The better our digestion, the stronger and better the flow of our Blood and energy (Qi) are.

How to help?
- Through strengthening the digestion and Liver function, you will have ample and strong Blood and Qi (energy). Eat warming meals and don’t skip breakfast, try my congee, have more grass-fed red meat, and broth. Warmer digestion creates free flowing circulation so the Blood can nourish our body.
- 🩸❤️For herbal support, comment BUILD and I will send you a link to my formulas best for Blood building. They include the following:
📍 Blood Builder tincture is an ancient formula which nourishes our brain and is the key ingredient to healthy mental function, feeling vital, feeling calm and having a sense of togetherness. Furthermore it helps those who are anemic, vegetarian or needing help with fatigue, weakness and even painful periods. to your routine, especially if you are vegetarian.

Prevention is the cure.

🍎 Comment HEAL and I will send you a link to my Qi, Honeysuckle Extract ad Licorice Extract— medicine cabinet essentials. Remember to always have miso paste in the fridge in case anyone gets a fever!

1. Honeysuckle flower 金银花 fights the common cold, is used for upper respiratory tract infections, and has been studied against cold and flus and now covid with great findings. Article ID 9604456 on Hindawi.com/ showed a study which demonstrated that absorbed plant MIR2911 in honeysuckle decoction inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and accelerates the negative conversion of infected patients. Shop Honeysuckle Extract on my website.

2. Qi tincture may be the most versatile and important formula to keep with you always. Huo Xiang is the main ingredient in Qi tincture formula. This is the formula that aids against pathogenic attacks to the immune system like the common cold or a slew of symptoms that arise from gastrointestinal discomfort. One study found that Huo Xiang actually inhibited the virus (RSV) in the cells of the throat [1].

3. Keep your essential meridians warm, especially the back of the neck and the feet and legs where all the major channels run, this allows Blood and energy (Qi) to flow freely and nourish the body. Licorice has the potential to adjuvant prevent and treat COVID-19. It not only plays a significant role in anti-inflammation but also significantly improves the clinical symptoms of fever, dry cough and shortness of breath [PMID: 34899289].

4. Make my “Congee for 1” recipe in my highlights. Our digestive system (the root of our immune system) craves moist foods in the morning. The Spleen and Stomach are most active between 7-11am where they are most nourished by moist, sweet (by certain grains not refined sugars), and warm foods. That’s what makes congee a healing breakfast, because it is able to be easily digested for usable energy, while also healing. At the first sign of fever, have very hot miso soup with scallions!

🛟Comment RESCUE and I will send you a link to shop my ARTHRITIS SALE BUNDLE - for 24 hrs only - featuring my brand new oral and topical treatments called Arthritis Rescue+ and Arthritis Rub which help remove cold and dampness from the joints, stimulate Blood flow and relax the areas. The nature of these herbs helps to ease arthritic and rheumatic pain, reduce inflammation and swelling.

Arthritis manifests as pain, soreness, or numbness of muscles, tendons and joints after having been invaded by external pathogens of cold, wind, heat and dampness. These symptoms manifest differently depending on the individual’s constitution and which pathogenic factor is strongest within the body. Pathogenic factors invade inside the body’s meridians and cause obstruction to the flow of Qi and Blood resulting in pain as well as inflammation, soreness, heat, lack of range of motion etc.

Do note that arthritis is an umbrella term that refers to 100+ degenerative conditions affecting people of all ages. They progressively damage joints, cartilage and their surrounding tissues, resulting in inflammation, swelling, redness, stiffness and an increasingly limited range of motion.

Root cause of arthritis
🧊 Cold type — acute pain that has fixed spots and difficulties in stretching and bending, cold weather triggers pain or swelling.
🌫 Damp type — dull pains that move around, pain increases in humidity, wet and or windy days.
🔥 Heat type — red and swollen joints that feel scorching hot and cannot be touched, as well as limited movement because of the pains.

Overall treatments for each type:
- Ginger Power* tea daily to remove cold and damp
- Acupuncture, cupping, acupressure and reflexology to move Qi and Blood
- A diet rich in natural collagen, and collagen boosting foods (not powders) like bone broth, schisandra*, vitamin C*, garlic, pumpkin seeds, berries.
- Avoid inflammatory foods, iced drinks, over-consuming raw and cold foods which stop the flow of Qi and Blood.
- Avoid exposing the areas of the legs, hips or Stomach when its chilly out, especially during seasonal transition.

Inhale deeply from your diaphragm, while expanding your belly to allow air to sink down, allowing your chest and ribs to expand - ahhh, the Lungs are happy, do you feel it?. When we take in a new breath and expel an old one, there is a sense of revitalization in our entire being.

That is because the Lungs require space, and a deep breath creates that. The Lungs love space and nature. For example, children whose proximity to vegetation close to their homes increased in the first ten years of life tended to have better Lung health (recent research published by the European Lung Foundation).

What does clutter have to do with this? Clutter directly impacts the Lung system, something known in TCM and also now studied in modern medicine. Not only does clutter create more dust, dander, allergens that directly impact Lung function - but on an emotional level, clutter impacts one’s ability to let go. The Lungs take in the new while their partner, the Large Intestine expels waste. Our will to be open and let in the new when one chapter ends and let go to which no longer serves us is not only vital to our emotional stability but our physical bodies. This has to do with physical clutter as well. Many times if the colon is constipated, there can be a level of holding onto something that no longer serves you.

Other than clutter creating cortisol spikes and more stress in our lives, it has been studied that clutter can lead to an inability to focus, overeating, less-restful sleep and feelings of self-criticism.

Support your Lung system, your whole body and declutter, donate things that you no longer wear or need and organize your spaces to make them sacred. Thank your items, cut ties with your energy in those items and thank your new openings!

Traditionally, snow mushroom (snow fungus, 雪耳 Tremella fuciformis) requires a lot of preparation, soaking and cleaning it before use. I have been working to source a wild, top quality and easy to use snow fungus for myself and you. I am happy to announce that I have.

Have 1 teaspoon - 5 teaspoons daily. This snow fungus is ready to use. Just add it to your smoothies, soups, broths, congee, or teas to soak up all the incredible benefits of this revered fungus. Comment FUNGI below and I will send you a link to shop this amazing product. I have been adding it to my morning congee every day.

With a jelly-like texture and delicate flavor, Snow Mushroom is rich in polysaccharides that help the skin retain moisture, enhance elasticity, and restore a radiant glow from within. Beyond beauty, this powerful fungus supports immune resilience, circulation, and overall longevity, making it both a culinary delight and a potent adaptogen

We know that TCM and Ancient China loves snow fungus, so what does science say about it?
Powerful Moisturization & Hydration:
Tremella polysaccharides have been shown to retain moisture extremely well — helping skin stay hydrated, smooth, and elastic. They even outperform some traditional agents in supporting the skin’s moisture barrier [1]

Supports Immune Modulation & Anti-Inflammation
Research shows Tremella reduces inflammatory markers like nitric oxide (NO) and TNF-α in cell models (macrophages), suggesting it helps calm immune overreaction and inflammation [2].

Radiance & Anti-Ageing Effects
Snow Mushroom helps neutralize oxidative stress in skin fibroblasts (e.g. UVA damage), upregulates protective proteins such as SIRT1, and promotes collagen support — all of which are key to preserving youthful-looking skin PMID: 33858263,

Cognitive & Memory Support
In animal models, extracts of Tremella have reversed memory deficits induced experimentally, helped with learning tasks, and supported brain cell resilience — pointing toward potential benefits for mental clarity and longevity.

🌏 Comment NOURISH and I will send you the best tinctures to support the Spleen system.

How often do you check-in with yourself? How are your boundaries? Did you know that establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries is essential to a healthy digestive system?

Our Spleen is the nurturer of our bodies. It is our center, our “Mother Earth” , the organ which will take care of everything it can before taking care of itself. The Spleen is of special importance because it’s the boundary keeper in your physical body, so when Spleen energy is weak, think of it like leaky energy that can cause an inability to manage your energy and even things like your finances. When it is strong, leakage is preventable and Qi, Blood and fluids are strong.

Weak Spleen Qi can also impede your ability to focus, and cause you to overthink and worry. Make time during this seasonal transition to nourish yourself and ground.

📍Tips:
- Slow down! Breathe. Journal. Rest. Schedule your day ahead of time so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
- Eat a warming breakfast, check my reel from a few days ago.
- Focus on good ingredients with simple flavors. Bone broths, quality proteins, sweet potatoes, vegetables keep your body satisfied and act as fuel.
- Eat consistently. The amount and timing of meals should be similar daily. Optimal times are breakfast is before 10am, lunch 12pm and dinner at 6pm.
- Eat light at night! Make sure you have 3 hours to digest before bed. Not all food is ingested equally. The Kidney, Liver, Gallbladder systems are active at night, wanting to detox and rejuvenate the body. When you ingest food late, it hinders their function. Of course, life is busy and there are times this won’t work, but do it as often as possible.
- If you do intermittent fasting, do it at night rather than in the morning (eat lighter at night or an early dinner). Long term you are greatly damaging your Qi, Stomach, Spleen, and Blood.

Yes, the weight of the world is heavy. We must hold space for what is going on but also stay clear and calm, so that we don’t negatively impact our health.

You see, in Chinese medicine, there is a connection for every emotion. Even if you feel enraged with world events, your emotions shouldn’t permeate through to create more negativity in your life.

If you’ve found yourself grappling with road rage, a short temper or frequent bouts of irritability or feel a sense of an inexplicable heaviness on your shoulders with no sense of its origin, take a pause. In the realm of Chinese medicine, these emotions are intricately connected and often share underlying roots in the Liver. The Liver is the seat of all emotions and behind such emotions as frustration, resentment, jealousy.

😎 Comment CHILL and I will send you two formulas to help you find you calm, while supporting the Liver, your immunity and your entire well-being.

- Candida Relief can drain toxic heat which greatly impacts our gut and emotions.
- Cool and Calm gently harmonizes Yin and Yang, nourishes Blood, calms the Shen (our spirit), and supports the body’s natural defense against external illness.

During this time, eat foods like pears, steamed dishes and congee. Avoid overly spicy foods, greasy and fried foods and excess raw foods. Connect to the sunrise and sunset. Avoid blue light after dark.

Be well 🤍
