👀 TIRED, BLURRY OR STRAINED EYES? 👀

Ever feel like your eyes are tired, heavy, dry or blurry — especially after a long day?

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, your eyes are closely connected with the Liver, which is said to “open into the eyes” and help nourish them.

🌿 TCM may associate tired or blurry eyes with:

✨ Liver Blood deficiency – eyes may feel tired, dry, strained or blurry, particularly when you’re run down.

🔥 Liver Yang rising – may be associated with headaches, eye strain, dizziness or a feeling of pressure around the eyes.

💻 Too much screen time – prolonged close-up work can contribute to eye fatigue and, from a TCM perspective, may place extra demand on the Liver Blood.

😴 Stress, poor sleep & exhaustion – when the body isn’t adequately rested, your eyes can certainly feel the effects.

🌿 HOW CAN ACUPUNCTURE HELP?

Acupuncture may help support the body’s natural regulation of stress, relaxation and circulation, which can be useful when eye fatigue is associated with tension, stress or poor sleep.

At Ashi Therapies, your treatment is tailored to you and your individual TCM pattern.

👀 Your eyes can sometimes tell you more than you think!

🌿 MACULOPAPULAR RASH 🌿

A TCM perspective: Toxic Heat • Heat in the Qi • Heat in the Blood

Ever wondered why a rash can suddenly appear as red, raised or blotchy patches on the skin?

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, certain rashes may be associated with Heat, which can manifest at different levels in the body.

🔥 TOXIC HEAT
TCM may describe a more intense form of Heat, often associated with a sudden, angry-looking rash, redness, inflammation or irritation.

🌡️ HEAT IN THE QI
May present with a red, widespread rash, warmth of the skin and sometimes itching or a feeling of heat.

🩸 HEAT IN THE BLOOD
In TCM theory, Heat in the Blood can cause redness and irritation that appears deeper or more widespread, sometimes with intense itching or a tendency for the rash to flare.

👀 HOW CAN IT SHOW UP?

A maculopapular rash can look like:
• Flat red or pink areas
• Small raised bumps
• Blotchy patches
• Widespread redness
• Itching or irritation
• Skin that feels warm or hot

From a TCM perspective, the pattern behind the rash is important. Your practitioner looks at the whole picture — not simply the skin.

🌿 WHERE DOES ACUPUNCTURE COME IN?

Acupuncture may be used within a TCM treatment plan to help:

✨ Support the body’s regulation of inflammatory responses
✨ Promote circulation and healthy blood flow
✨ Help regulate the nervous system
✨ Support the body’s natural balance
✨ Address the underlying TCM pattern rather than simply focusing on the rash itself

Treatment is individualised, because two people with a similar-looking rash may have very different TCM patterns.

💙 At Ashi Therapies, we look at the whole person — not just the symptom.

ADRENAL FATIGUE? 👀
TRY THIS LITTLE PINCH TEST…

Here’s a fascinating one from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) 👇

Gently pinch the area alongside your Achilles tendon, just above the inner ankle.

Is it surprisingly tender? 🤔

In TCM, this area is closely associated with the Kidney meridian. The acupuncture point KI3 (Taixi) sits between the inner ankle bone and the Achilles tendon.

The Kidneys in TCM are traditionally considered to store our deepest reserves of energy — our constitutional vitality.

So, practitioners may consider signs such as:

✨ Persistent tiredness
✨ Feeling “wired but tired”
✨ Feeling run down
✨ Lower back or leg weakness
✨ Struggling to fully recharge, even after rest

But here’s the important bit…

A tender Achilles does NOT mean you have “adrenal fatigue” or that your Kidneys are depleted.

Achilles tenderness can have many causes, including tendon, muscular, joint or other physical issues — so it shouldn’t be interpreted on its own.

TCM looks at the whole person, including your symptoms, energy, sleep, stress, digestion, lifestyle and overall constitution.

🌿 Traditional TCM approaches to supporting Kidney energy include:
• Deep, restorative rest
• Warm, nourishing foods
• Gentle movement
• Stress reduction
• Acupuncture and other appropriate treatments

And remember — your body is more than one pinch test! 😉

🤧 HAS THAT VIRUS GOT YOU TOO?

It feels like there’s a lot of coughs, colds and chest-infection-type bugs doing the rounds at the moment!

If you’ve been left with a lingering cough, chest tightness, phlegm, tiredness or that feeling that you just can’t quite shift it, here are some things you can do from a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective 🌿

🫖 SUPPORT YOUR BODY

TCM focuses on supporting the body while it recovers.

✨ Keep warm — particularly your neck, chest and feet
✨ Choose warm, nourishing meals such as soups and broths
✨ Drink plenty of warm fluids
✨ Rest — your body needs energy to recover
✨ Avoid excessive cold drinks and foods if they seem to aggravate your symptoms
✨ Gentle steam inhalation may help soothe a dry, irritated throat

🪡 WHERE DOES ACUPUNCTURE FIT IN?

Acupuncture may be used alongside your normal medical care to support relaxation, help you feel more comfortable and support your body’s recovery after a respiratory illness.

It can be particularly useful when the acute infection has settled but you’re left with a lingering cough, fatigue, congestion or feeling generally run-down.

💙 WHEN SHOULD YOU BOOK?

If you’re feeling acutely unwell, have a high temperature, significant breathing difficulties or your symptoms are getting worse, please seek medical advice first.

Once you’re recovering — or if you’ve been left with those annoying lingering symptoms — that’s when acupuncture may be worth considering.

🌿 LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. REST. RECOVER. REBALANCE.

At Ashi Therapies, treatments are tailored to you and your individual symptoms.

🧠✨ ACUPUNCTURE & YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM ✨🧠

Your nervous system plays a huge role in how you feel — from stress and sleep to pain, digestion and energy levels.

When life gets busy, your body can spend too much time in “fight or flight” mode, making it harder to properly rest, recover and switch off.

🌿 So how can acupuncture help?

Acupuncture may help influence the nervous system and encourage a shift towards the parasympathetic “rest and digest” response.

This can support your body’s natural ability to regulate and rebalance.

✨ Potential benefits include:

• 😌 Promoting relaxation and reducing feelings of stress
• 😴 Supporting better sleep
• 💆‍♀️ Helping ease muscle tension
• 🔥 Supporting the body’s natural pain-regulation mechanisms
• ❤️ Helping promote a calmer heart-rate and stress response
• 🧠 Supporting emotional wellbeing
• 🌿 Supporting digestion and gut function
• ⚖️ Encouraging balance within the body

Acupuncture isn’t about simply masking a symptom — it works with the body to encourage its own regulatory processes.

Sometimes your body doesn’t need more pushing…

It needs the opportunity to slow down, reset and recover. 💙

💧 ACUPUNCTURE & BLADDER HEALTH 💧

Do you experience bladder leakage, urgency, frequent trips to the toilet or waking during the night to urinate?

Acupuncture can be used as part of a supportive approach to bladder health.

🔹 SUI – Stress Urinary Incontinence
Leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting or exercising.

🌿 From a TCM perspective: this may be associated with Kidney Qi or Kidney Yang deficiency, with Spleen Qi also potentially playing a role in the body’s ability to “hold” and contain.

🔹 OAB – Overactive Bladder
A sudden, strong urge to urinate, increased frequency and sometimes leakage before reaching the toilet.

🌿 From a TCM perspective: different patterns are considered, including Kidney Qi deficiency, Kidney Yang deficiency, Bladder Damp-Heat or Liver Qi stagnation, depending on the individual’s symptoms.

🔹 NOCTURNAL ENURESIS 🌙
Involuntary urination during sleep.

🌿 From a TCM perspective: this is traditionally associated with Kidney Qi deficiency, particularly in children, although Kidney Yang deficiency may also be considered when other signs of coldness or weakness are present.

✨ Why acupuncture?

In TCM, bladder symptoms aren’t necessarily viewed as a problem with the bladder alone. We consider the relationship between the Kidneys, Bladder, Spleen, Lung and Liver, together with your individual symptoms and overall constitution.

Acupuncture treatment is therefore individualised, with points selected according to your particular TCM pattern.

🌿 Acupuncture can be used alongside conventional healthcare, pelvic-floor exercises and appropriate lifestyle measures.
