Some of the best foods for the TCM kidney are black in colour (Corresponding colour in the 5-element theory), such as blackberries, black sesame seeds, black beans, seaweeds, black chia seeds and wild rice. I was born 10 weeks early and had scoliosis and asthma as a child. The hair on my head didn't grow until I [...]

In my 7-Day Business Challenge, I will show you what are the 3 most important pages on your site and how to tweak them. [...]

TCM Nutrition: Healing Foods for Lung Patterns

Yesterday, one of my long-time patients brought me a large bag of apples from her orchard. This gesture of appreciation stemmed from an incident last week when I stayed late to treat her excruciating pain despite being fully booked. Her delicious gift was a heartwarming reminder of the impact we can have as acupuncturists when we go [...]

When I was in school learning observation skills for the different kinds of TCM body type and TCM diagnosis, I would practice on celebrities and I still do; it's so much fun, don't you think? I remember watching Celine Dion belting out the Titanic song and saying to myself: "Oh my gosh, her tongue is so pale, [...]
