Today, we're diving into a topic that's super relevant in our screen-heavy world: eye inflammation.

I was recently asked on the Ask Me Anything Podcast, about dealing with inflammation after eye surgery.

So, let's explore some natural remedies through the lens of Chinese medicine, including using warm compresses, consuming anti-inflammatory foods, staying hydrated, practicing QiGong eye exercises and acupressure points to improve blood flow.

in this episode, Joanne offers advice using her knowledge of Chinese medicine to alleviate the symptoms of shock and insomnia. A Listener’s Heartbreaking Story One of our listeners, who wishes to stay anonymous, shared her heartbreaking story. Her mother was diagnosed with cancer, and her husband passed away suddenly. It's hard to imagine the level of shock and devastation this brings. Such events can throw our entire world into chaos, deeply affecting our body and mind. The Impact of Shock in Chinese Medicine In both Western and Chinese medicine, shock has profound effects on the body. In Chinese medicine, shock impacts the heart and small intestine, which are linked to our spirit. The heart is seen as the home of our spirit, akin to the fire element, symbolising vitality and energy. When we experience shock, it can feel like our spirit can't settle. This restlessness affects our ability to sleep and find peace. But don’t worry, there are ways to help your spirit return home. DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION?
