Chinese Medicine at Home
Practical things you can do at home. Light a moxa stick, use acupressure, cook food that warms or drains, run a protocol for your pattern.
Tools & Techniques
Moxa, acupressure, gua sha, and herbs. The self-administered side of Chinese medicine, with the practical how-to of using each one on yourself, without making it harder than it needs to be. Start with moxa, acupressure, or taking herbs.
Recipes & Food as Medicine
Congee, soups, teas, and slow-cooked food tied to Chinese medicine principles. What to eat to warm a cold middle, drain damp, build qi and blood, or get things moving.
Chinese Medicine Pattern Protocols
Complete protocols for individual patterns like Spleen Qi Deficiency or Liver Stagnation. Each one covers diet, acupressure, and daily habits together, the same plan I’d give you in a treatment.
