✨ IT’S FRIDAY… TIME TO PRIORITISE YOU ✨

The weekend is here — but before you rush into everything you’ve got planned, take a little time to reset, recharge and look after yourself. 💙

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, self-care is all about supporting your body’s natural balance and not waiting until you feel completely exhausted before you slow down.

🌿 A few simple TCM-inspired ways to look after yourself this weekend:

🍵 Choose something warm
Try a warming drink such as ginger tea or simply enjoy a nourishing, cooked meal. TCM generally favours warm, easily digested foods rather than constantly reaching for cold foods and drinks.

🫁 Take a few slow breaths
Sit quietly for 2–5 minutes and breathe slowly and deeply. Giving yourself a moment to pause can help you move out of that constant “doing” mode.

👣 Give your feet some love
A warm foot soak in the evening can be wonderfully relaxing. Your feet are also home to many acupuncture points, so a gentle foot massage can be a lovely way to wind down.

💆‍♀️ Release tension
Gently massage around your temples, jaw, neck and shoulders. We often carry stress and tension in these areas without even noticing.

🌙 Don’t underestimate sleep
Use the weekend to catch up on rest rather than filling every minute. A calmer evening routine and stepping away from your phone before bed can help prepare your body for sleep.

💙 And remember… self-care doesn’t have to mean doing MORE.

Sometimes self-care is simply saying:
“I’m going to stop for a moment.”

Put the kettle on.
Take a breath.
Have a bath.
Go for a gentle walk.
Book some time for yourself.

And if your body has been asking for a little extra attention…

🍂 THE WEATHER’S CHANGING… AND SO IS HOW OUR BODIES FEEL! 🍂

As the days get colder, wetter and darker, it’s not unusual to notice more coughs, colds, chesty feelings, congestion and that general “ugh, I’m coming down with something” feeling. 🤧

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, cold and damp weather can place extra stress on the body and may affect the flow of Qi — particularly around the lungs and respiratory system.

🔥 FIRE CUPPING

Fire cupping can be a lovely warming treatment at this time of year.

It may help to:
✨ Encourage circulation around the back and chest
✨ Ease muscular tension through the upper back and shoulders
✨ Create a warming, relaxing sensation
✨ Help you feel less “stuck” and congested around the upper body

🪡 ACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture can also be used as part of a treatment plan when you’re feeling run-down or dealing with respiratory symptoms.

Depending on your individual needs, treatment may focus on supporting your body’s natural processes, relaxation, breathing comfort and overall wellbeing.

And of course… there’s nothing quite like lying under the TDP lamp during your treatment while you warm up! ☀️

💙 Ashi Therapies

If the colder weather has you feeling like you want to hibernate until spring, your body might appreciate a little TLC!

A session of cupping and acupuncture is priced at £50. We still have our £10 off any treatment offer up to and including this Saturday 12th September 🩵 and as always 10% off for blue light card holders

❤️ BEETROOT — A LITTLE ROOT WITH A LOT TO OFFER! ❤️

Did you know that in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), beetroot is considered a nourishing food that can help support Blood and circulation?

That gorgeous deep red colour isn’t just pretty! 🌱

🌿 WHAT CAN BEETROOT SUPPORT?

According to TCM, beetroot may be used as part of a nourishing diet to support:

❤️ Blood nourishment
It is traditionally viewed as a food that helps nourish the Blood.

🩸 Healthy circulation
Its blood-moving qualities make it an interesting addition to a balanced diet.

⚡ Energy & vitality
Nourishing foods can help support the body when you’re feeling run down or depleted.

✨ Healthy digestion
Beetroot contains fibre, making it a great addition to a varied, balanced diet.

🌸 A healthy complexion
In TCM, good Blood nourishment is often associated with healthy-looking skin.

🥗 HOW CAN YOU EAT IT?

There are so many easy ways!

❤️ Roasted — delicious with olive oil, garlic and herbs
❤️ Grated raw — add to salads or slaws
❤️ Blended — try beetroot in a smoothie
❤️ Juiced — a small glass alongside a meal
❤️ Soups — perfect for a warming beetroot soup
❤️ Hummus — blend cooked beetroot into hummus for a beautiful colour and flavour

🌿 TCM TIP:
Rather than relying on one “superfood”, TCM is all about looking at the whole picture — your digestion, energy, sleep, lifestyle and the foods you regularly eat.

So next time you’re shopping… don’t overlook the humble beetroot! ❤️

🌙 WHY DOES YOUR EVENING MEAL MATTER?
A Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective

In TCM, when you eat can be just as important as what you eat.

Your body has its own natural rhythm, and evening is a time when your body begins to slow down, prepare for rest and restore itself.

🍽️ So what does TCM suggest?

✨ Try to eat earlier
Ideally, aim for your evening meal around 5–7pm, rather than eating a large meal late at night.

✨ Keep dinner lighter
Your evening meal doesn’t need to be your biggest meal of the day. Think nourishing, warming and easy to digest.

🥕 Good choices might include:
• Cooked vegetables
• Soups & broths
• Steamed or gently cooked fish
• Chicken or other lean protein
• Rice, quinoa or sweet potato
• Warming foods such as ginger or cooked root vegetables

🌙 Try not to overload your digestive system late at night

Very rich, greasy, spicy or sugary foods — particularly large portions just before bed — may leave you feeling heavy, bloated or uncomfortable.

☕ And watch the evening drinks!
Too much caffeine, alcohol or very cold drinks late in the day may not be ideal when you’re trying to wind down.

💡 A simple TCM tip:
Think “warm, cooked, simple & satisfying.”

Your digestive system has worked all day — evening is a good time to give it a little less to do.

And remember, TCM looks at the individual. What works well for one person may not be right for another.

🌿 Small changes can make a difference.

At Ashi Therapies, we look at the bigger picture — not just the symptom.

💉 ARE YOU TAKING A GLP-1 MEDICATION?
You might know them as the “skinny jabs” 👀

Whether you’re just starting your journey, you’re halfway through, or you’re coming towards the end, you may have noticed that your digestion isn’t quite behaving like it used to.

Some common things people experience include:

💨 Bloating & trapped wind
😣 Abdominal discomfort
🐌 Sluggish digestion
🚽 Constipation or changes in bowel movements
🍽️ Feeling overly full after eating
🤢 Nausea
🎈 That uncomfortable, heavy tummy feeling

💆‍♀️ THIS IS WHERE ANMO FU CAN HELP

Anmo Fu is a traditional Chinese abdominal massage technique designed to work gently around the abdomen.

At Ashi Therapies, we use it to help encourage movement and circulation around the abdominal area, which may help you feel less bloated, more comfortable and less “stuck”.

We can also incorporate acupuncture into your treatment, using carefully selected points to support your individual needs — whether that’s digestive discomfort, relaxation or general wellbeing.

And while you’re relaxing, you can enjoy the gentle warmth of our TDP lamp 🔥

✨ And please don’t worry about your tummy!
If you’ve been putting off booking because you’re worried about having your tummy exposed, don’t be!

When you lie down, tummies have a funny habit of not sticking out! 😂

There is absolutely no judgement here — just a comfortable, private and supportive treatment.

Whether you’re at the START, MIDDLE or END of your GLP-1 journey, you can still enjoy some time to look after yourself. ❤️

💷 Full treatment: £50

👀 AM I A GOOD THERAPIST… OR JUST REALLY, REALLY NOSEY? 😂

One of the biggest parts of what I do in clinic isn’t just looking at where it hurts…

It’s LISTENING 👂 and OBSERVING 👀

So, if you come in with a sore knee, I’m not only interested in your knee!

I’m watching how you walk, how you stand, how you sit and how you move.

Because all of those little things can give me clues and help create a much better foundation for your treatment. 🧩

And then there’s the listening…

Please, always tell me about the little things, even if they seem completely insignificant.

💬 “I’ve been really irritable this week.”

That might give me a clue towards something like Liver Qi stagnation.

💬 “I’ve suddenly been drinking loads of warm drinks.”

That can sometimes point towards your body seeking warmth — for example, a cold pattern affecting the Stomach or weakness in Spleen & Stomach Yang.

Those little changes can be REALLY useful pieces of the puzzle. 🧩

And apparently… I don’t switch off when I leave the clinic either! 😂

I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been sitting in the car, watching someone walk past and suddenly thought…

👀 “Ooh… they’ve got a neck restriction!”

That’s when my K.O.R.E. Therapy training kicks in!

A restriction around the neck and upper spine can influence how the body compensates further down, potentially affecting the way the lower back and pelvis move during walking.

So yes…

I observe.

I listen.

I notice things.

I probably overthink things. 😂

Which leaves me asking myself…

Am I actually a really good therapist…

OR JUST REALLY, REALLY NOSEY? 🤣

Either way, all those little observations help me build a bigger picture of YOU, rather than just treating the bit that hurts. ❤️

💜 HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE & TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE 💜

High blood pressure is incredibly common and can affect people of all ages. Often, you may not even know you have it, which is why regular blood pressure checks are so important.

If high blood pressure isn’t managed, it can increase the risk of serious health problems such as stroke and heart disease.

🌿 So where can Chinese Medicine fit in?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), high blood pressure may be viewed differently depending on an individual’s overall health, constitution and symptoms.

Acupuncture aims to support balance within the body and, from a TCM perspective, may focus on calming an overactive Liver, nourishing deficiencies and supporting healthy circulation.

💕 At Ashi Therapies, every treatment is tailored to you.

Acupuncture should not replace prescribed blood-pressure medication or medical care. If you have high blood pressure, please continue to work with your GP or healthcare professional.

If you’d like to explore how acupuncture may complement your existing wellbeing routine, get in touch with Ashi Therapies.
