Constipation is one of the most common things we treat in clinic and it’s rarely as simple as “drink more water” or “eat more fiber.”

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, constipation isn’t just one condition.
It’s a pattern.

For some, it’s stress slowing everything down.
For others, it’s dryness, depletion, or a lack of digestive strength.
Which means the solution isn’t one-size-fits-all.

If you’ve been trying everything and still don’t feel regular, your body might not need more force, it might need a different kind of support.

We just shared a new blog breaking down:
• The 5 types of constipation in TCM
• What might be driving your symptoms
• Simple, natural ways to start supporting your digestion

🥨 🍫🥜 Are your snacks actually supporting your health or just filling the space between meals?

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, snacking isn’t always a neutral habit. While it can be helpful in certain situations, constant grazing can weaken digestion over time, leading to symptoms like bloating, fatigue, cravings, or feeling unsatisfied no matter what you eat.

The goal isn’t to eliminate snacks altogether, but to become more intentional about them.

When chosen well, snacks can:
✨ support steady energy
✨ nourish your body between meals
✨ even help balance hormones and digestion

When chosen poorly (or eaten too frequently), they can do the opposite.

We shared a more nuanced perspective on snacking (along with simple, nourishing TCM snack ideas) in our latest blog.

If you’ve ever felt like your “healthy” habits aren’t quite working, this might offer a helpful shift.

A recent article in the The Guardian highlighted how influencers are sharing Chinese health habits like drinking hot water, avoiding iced drinks, walking after meals, and going to bed before 11pm.

As TCM practitioners, we are totally on board! These are core TCM habits, but on social media they’re often presented as quick “health hacks.”

In reality, we’ve been recommending these tips to all our patients. They’re small pieces of a much deeper system of medicine that has been practiced for thousands of years – for over 20 years in our office. :)

Let’s look at the wisdom behind a few of these viral tips:

🍵 Avoiding cold drinks
In traditional Chinese medicine, digestion relies on warmth. Too many iced drinks can weaken digestive energy and contribute to bloating, fatigue, and sluggish metabolism.

💤 Going to bed earlier
TCM teaches that the body restores Liver blood during the night, especially between 11pm–3am which is an important window for hormone balance, detoxification, and emotional regulation.

🚶🏻‍♀️Walking after meals
A gentle walk helps support the movement of Qi, aiding digestion and helping prevent stagnation after eating.

These habits may be trending on social media right now but they’re rooted in a medical tradition that looks at sleep, digestion, stress, and hormones as deeply connected.

We love that ancient wisdom is finding its way into today’s online conversation.

Have you tried any of these habits?
Which one is your favorite and why?
