Deep warmth. Better circulation. Intentional healing.

TDP mineral heat therapy is a staple in many Chinese medicine clinics because it helps the body unwind, restore, and recover naturally. 🔥

You’ll see me use it to support Acupuncture and other Chinese Medicine techniques in clinic. It feels lovely and warm, releasing muscular tension and helping the body to relax and repair.

I'm excited to be live on Koast Radio next Tuesday 26th May at 10:30am, chatting about how Acupuncture stopped my baby being born too early in Bali, and what led me to study a BSc degree in it at 50. Tune in here https://koastradio.co.uk/

Cupping marks aren’t bruises from “damage” — they’re caused by suction pulling blood and fluid to the surface.

The colour and intensity can vary based on circulation, muscle tension, hydration, and how long the cups stayed on.

🟣 Darker marks → often more stagnation/tightness

🔴 Red/pink marks → increased circulation

🟤 Speckled marks → surface capillaries reacting

⚪ Little/no mark → less congestion in that area

Most marks fade within a few days to 2 weeks.
Cupping should never leave severe pain, blistering, or broken skin.

I use cupping alongside massage and acupuncture in clinic to affect tissue at a deeper level.

A “punk wellness” trend is flourishing in China, inspiring a younger generation to try Traditional Chinese Medicine. Cocktail 🍸 bars where you receive a pulse diagnosis and individualised drinks including Chinese herbs 🌿 or a gelato with healthy ingredients.

I 💓 this idea. Maybe I should plant the seed to launch something like this in the UK 🇬🇧. Would you like your mocktail with a serving of Chinese Medicine?

Entrepreneurs are reimagining traditional Chinese medicine through cocktail bars, artisanal gelato and modern apothecaries, drawing in a generation looking to balance indulgence and wellness. But is it treatment or just theatre?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the location of a headache can help identify the channel involved:

• Forehead headaches — Yang Ming

• Temple/sided headaches — Shao Yang

• Top of the head — Jue Yin

• Back of the head/neck — Tai Yang

Acupuncture treatment is tailored to the individual pattern, helping to reduce tension, regulate the nervous system, and support long-term headache and migraine management. 🌿
