What a Weekend! ✨

I’m still buzzing from completing the Fertile Life Mastery seminar with @kirstenwolfe_acupuncture over the weekend! It was an awe-inspiring deep dive into pioneering fertility support, seamlessly blending Chinese medicine, functional medicine, and evidence-based strategies to help couples conceive.

One of the biggest takeaways? The cutting-edge diagnostic tools that are revolutionising fertility care—especially for those facing recurrent miscarriage and implantation failure. Getting to the root cause is everything!

Here are just a few of the powerful insights I’ll be integrating into my clinic:
🧬 NK, ALICE & EMMA Tests – Identifying chronic endometritis & the uterine microbiome’s role in fertility.
🧩 DQA Alpha Gene Testing – Understanding genetic compatibility & immune-related fertility challenges.
🦠 Vaginal & Uterine Microbiome Analysis – Addressing infections, dysbiosis & inflammation for implantation success.

I’m beyond excited to bring this expanded expertise to my patients and help more couples on their fertility journey!
If you or someone you know is struggling to conceive, let’s chat about a personalised approach to optimise fertility success.

💬 Struggling with wrist pain? Let’s chat!

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis is an overuse injury affecting the extensor pollicis brevis & longus tendons, causing pain & swelling on the radial side of the wrist. Everyday movements like hammering, wringing out clothes, holding a baby, or excessive phone use can aggravate it.

How Acupuncture Can Help
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this condition is linked to the Lung & Large Intestine meridians, often caused by Qi stagnation, dampness, and blood stasis. Acupuncture can reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and restore mobility by improving circulation and breaking up stagnation.

My Approach:
🔹 LI5 (Yangxi), LU9 (Taiyuan) – Local wrist pain relief, promotes Qi & blood flow
🔹 LI6 (Pianli), LU7 (Lieque) – Clears channel obstructions, reduces swelling
🔹 LI4 (Hegu), SJ5 (Waiguan) – Opens the wrist area, reduces pain & tension
🔹 LU10 (Yuji), LU11 (Shaoshang) – Clears heat, promotes healing
🔹 LI1 (Shangyang), LI2 (Erjian) – Bleeding technique for stubborn cases
🔹 SI3 (Houxi), Ba Xie points – Treats the hand as a whole, improves mobility
✔ Zheng Gui Shui Liniment topically to reduce inflammation & promote circulation
✔ Electro-Acupuncture at key points

If wrist pain is limiting your daily life, acupuncture could be the missing piece in your recovery!

When Your Student is Absolutely Killing It!

It’s with so much pride and joy that I celebrate Letty’s phenomenal performance at the RMIT TCM Forum today.

Gardening connects us deeply to the present moment, offering tranquillity far beyond the blooms and soil. As we plant, nurture, and watch our gardens grow, we're reminded of our intrinsic connection to nature and the beauty of life’s natural cycles. In many ways, this mirrors the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which emphasises harmony, balance, and the flow of energy (Qi) between humans and nature.

Just like TCM works to balance the body, gardening invites us to balance our internal world. Tending to plants involves patience, nurturing, and resilience—qualities that support not only physical health but also emotional well-being. By immersing ourselves in the garden, we engage all our senses, pulling ourselves away from the chaos of daily life into the simplicity of the present.

Gardening becomes a meditation in movement, a sanctuary for the mind and soul, much like a TCM treatment that harmonises body and spirit. The rhythmic tasks of planting, watering, and weeding cultivate mindfulness, grounding us in the moment and promoting relaxation.

Whether you have a sprawling garden or just a few potted plants, the act of caring for them reflects TCM’s principle of living in tune with nature.

Spring is the season of growth, and in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it’s all about keeping Liver Qi flowing smoothly. Eating green, fast-growing foods like broccoli, kale, and peas helps support the Liver’s energy. Gentle movement, like a short walk or yoga, also encourages the flow of Qi, helping you feel balanced.

Spring winds can disrupt Liver energy, so it's important to protect yourself from the elements. This season is the perfect time to focus on new beginnings and expansion, both physically and mentally.

At Zenkai, we use TCM practices to support your Liver health, helping you stay in tune with the season's natural rhythm.

The needle that heals 📍

Acupuncture: it’s like your body’s ‘reset’ button, but with a tiny poke! The needles are so small that you’ll probably be too busy relaxing to notice them. Most people say, ‘Wait, that’s it?’

So, if you’re looking for a way to chill out while your body takes care of itself, come get poked (in the best way possible)!

The Liver's balance in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) plays a key role in managing emotions like anger and growth. When we feel stuck, Liver energy stagnates, leading to stress and physical symptoms.

Holding onto anger can block the flow of Liver Qi, resulting in frustration and health issues. Letting go of unnecessary anger is essential for personal growth and well-being. Spring, the season of the Liver in TCM, is the perfect time to reflect on emotional triggers and release what no longer serves us, promoting emotional harmony and balance.

At Zenkai, we use TCM practices such as acupuncture and herbal medicine to support your emotional and physical well-being, helping to unblock stuck energy and restore balance.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, one of the predominant liver-related concerns that often arise during spring is Hay Fever. While Western Medicine associates various symptoms of Hay Fever with different patterns and underlying issues, a prevalent explanation in TCM is known as the Liver attacking the Lungs.

During spring, when the Liver energy becomes unsettled due to factors such as strong winds (which are particularly disliked by our Liver), it can disrupt the typical downward flow of Lung energy. This reversal can result in discomforts like itchy noses, sniffles, and sneezing.

Spring: The Liver, Expansion, and The Wood Element
Traditional Chinese Medicine theory encompasses five elements: fire, earth, wood, water, and metal. Each element is linked to specific organs, seasons, emotions, tastes, smells, and sounds. Spring represents the Wood element associated with birth and the Liver/Gallbladder organs.

This season signifies new beginnings amid longer days and warmer temperatures but also brings strong winds that impact liver energy flow. The Liver's role in spring involves ensuring smooth Qi flow despite being particularly vulnerable to wind disturbances during this period of expansion and growth after winter hibernation.

Let’s talk about Vitamin D! ☀️

It’s not uncommon for many people to be deficient in Vitamin D, more so over the cooler (and darker) winter months.

Symptoms of deficiency can include tiredness, muscle pain, low mood and frequent coughs and colds.

Zenkai stocks high-dose vitamin D in liquid form. This is perfect for those who are low in Vitamin D or want to consistently use a daily supplement.

0.25ml = 1000iu , with NO nasties!

Chat to Dr. Dan about maintaining your Vitamin D levels and what dose is best for you.

Daffodils blooming at the entrance to the Zenkai Clinic means one thing - SPRINGTIME! 🌼🌼🌼

Let’s talk about Traditional Chinese Medicine tips for a happier, healthier Spring.

You can afford to go to bed a little later, but continue to rise early.

Begin your day with a glass of warm water when you wake up to help the Liver to detoxify itself – add a squeeze of lemon juice for an even greater effect.

Ensure you’re getting enough B group vitamins and eating fresh fruits high in vitamin C.

Pep up salads with homemade vinaigrettes – but go easy on the oil!

Eliminate or reduce alcohol, nicotine and caffeine consumption to relieve stress on your liver.

Find a gentle outdoor activity, especially if you’ve been feeling a bit irritable. It could be as simple as taking a stroll around the block to admire the magnificent daffodils and magnolias currently on display.

Consider coming in to get a seasonal acupuncture ‘tune-up’. The change of seasons is a good time of year for treatment. Even if you only have it a few times a year, treatment designed to balance your body and the season can help you start this season on a more positive note.

Incorporate deep breathing and a morning stretch into your exercise routine – try meditation, yoga or tai chi 🧘🏼‍♀️

There are many ways TCM can help support you seasonally!

Fertility is a profound aspect of human existence, reflecting vitality and potential within each individual. The journey to pregnancy is unique for every person, influenced by various physical and emotional factors.

Gua Sha, an ancient Chinese sculpting technique, is gaining popularity in the beauty world for its skin benefits, like improving blood circulation and firming facial muscles.

To master Gua Sha, start with clean hands and apply a skincare product for smooth gliding without tugging on the skin. Practice slow strokes with light to medium pressure while moving upwards and outwards on your face.

Incorporate Gua Sha into your skincare routine a few times a week for optimal results, but avoid using it on inflamed or open skin and take precautions if you have certain medical conditions or recent treatments.

Expecting a baby and planning to breastfeed? NaturoBest has you covered with two vegan-friendly herbal supplements designed to support you through the final weeks of pregnancy and into your breastfeeding journey.

Birth Prep & Recovery: Get ready for a smoother labour and quicker recovery with this powerful blend of raspberry leaf and squaw vine. These uterine tonics help tone and strengthen your uterus, preparing your body for childbirth and aiding postpartum recovery. Start taking it twice daily from week 34 of pregnancy and continue until six weeks after birth for optimal support.

Lactation Support: Our lactation support formula boosts your breast milk supply and calms your nerves. Featuring Vervain, a herb traditionally used in Western herbal medicine to enhance milk production and nourish the nervous system, this supplement helps reduce stress for a more successful breastfeeding experience.

Both supplements are 100% vegan and free from common allergens and artificial additives, ensuring safe, natural support for you and your little one.

SO, WHY DOES ROSACEA FLARE UP IN WINTER?
Winter can be particularly challenging for those with rosacea. Several factors contribute to flare-ups during this season:

❄️ Cold Air and Wind: Exposure to cold winds can trigger facial flushing and exacerbate redness.

🌬️ Dry Indoor Air: Central heating and low humidity levels indoors can deplete the skin's moisture, leading to increased sensitivity and irritation.

🍷🌶️ Alcohol and Spicy Foods: Consuming alcohol and spicy foods can trigger flushing and redness in individuals with rosacea.

CARING FOR ROSACEA-PRONE SKIN IN WINTER
Managing rosacea effectively, especially during the harsh winter months, requires a thoughtful approach to skincare. Here are some tips to help you care for your rosacea-prone skin:

🧣 Protect Your Skin: Shield your face from cold winds by wearing scarves or face masks.

💧 Moisturise Regularly: Use a gentle, non-irritating moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated and protect the moisture barrier.

🧴 Choose the Right Products: Use fragrance-free and non-comedogenic skincare products specifically formulated for sensitive skin.

🙅‍♀️ Avoid Triggers: Limit the consumption of hot drinks and spicy foods that may aggravate rosacea symptoms.

Bookings available via the Zenkai website.
