Chinese Medicine and Spring

Spring has arrived and with it we can feel the change of seasonal energy. The days are getting longer and the sun is getting warmer, thank goodness! According to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), spring is a time of upward and expansive movement of energy, of creativity, of planning and change. Nature expresses this in the new growth in the garden, the buds and blossoms on the trees and the first blooms of spring.

The Link Between Gut & Sleep

It’s well established how important a good night of sleep is for our overall physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. I’m sure you’ve experienced the brain fog, fatigue and lack of concentration that follows a night of restless sleep.

The microbial cells in our digestive system (also known as the gut microbiome) have a large role in supporting our overall health and wellbeing, as they absorb nutrients from the food we eat, produce immune system molecules, influence metabolism, and produce neurotransmitters and other key molecules for our health. Put simply, the more diverse the microbiome, the better your overall health.

What Is Histamine Intolerance, Could It Be The Cause Of Your Gut Symptoms?

You’ve probably heard of the molecule histamine in relation to allergies and hayfever symptoms. However, histamine serves as more than just a trigger for these conditions. It also functions as a neurotransmitter, playing a role in various bodily processes such as sleep/wake cycles, alertness, arousal, appetite regulation, stress resistance, and anxiety reduction. Additionally, histamine aids in stomach acid production, blood vessel dilation, intestinal muscle contractions, memory, learning, and other vital functions.

The Importance of Preconception Care

If you’re thinking of falling pregnant in the future, the optimal time to start preparing your body is at least 6 months before conception to provide the best health outcomes for both mother and baby. The healthier you are, the healthier all of the cells in your body will be – and this applies to the egg and sperm that will form the basis for your baby’s entire life.
