Do you think this is the same child?
When Sam first came to us, he was struggling with:
Frequent asthma symptoms
Ongoing illness, often ending in a persistent cough
Dry, white patches on his skin
He also looked constantly tired, with noticeable bags under his eyes and puffiness from fluid retention.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, these signs pointed to a pattern known as “excess dampness.” This refers to an imbalance in the body where fluids aren’t processed properly due to poor digestion, leading to symptoms such as:
Congestion and respiratory issues
Puffy or irritated skin
Fatigue and low energy
Allergies and recurring illness
Heavy feeling in the body
✨ After a personalised treatment approach and simple lifestyle adjustments, Sam’s transformation speaks for itself.
🥇Today, Sam is smashing goals across multiple areas including, Nippers, Ju jitsu, Rugby League, and even representing at the state level in Swimming.
What contributes to this imbalance?
According to Chinese medicine, factors may include:
Individual constitution (genetics and early development)
Diet and digestion
Lifestyle and environment
Some people are naturally more prone to respiratory or sinus issues—others are more resilient. Understanding this is key to effective, tailored care.
