🍵 Green Tea in TCM

Green tea contains about 30–50mg of caffeine per cup, making it a lighter and gentler source of caffeine compared to coffee.

In TCM, green tea is considered:
❄️ Cooling in property
👅 Bitter & slightly sweet in flavor

✨ In TCM, green tea may help:
• Clear internal heat
• Support healthy blood pressure & cholesterol
• Move Stomach Qi
• Support digestion after meals

That’s why having green tea after a meal can feel so refreshing and light 🍵

⚠️ However, too much green tea may weaken digestion in people with colder or weaker digestive systems.

Balance is everything in TCM 🌿

☕️ Coffee vs 🍵 Green Tea — Part 1: COFFEE

Love coffee? Me too 😌 But in TCM, balance is everything.

Here’s how coffee may affect your body:

☕️ Coffee contains about 80–200mg of caffeine per 8 oz cup
🔥 Warming property → can create internal heat if overconsumed
👅 Bitter, sweet & slightly spicy nature
💨 Too much coffee may contribute to:
• Acid reflux / heartburn
• Dryness (coffee has a diuretic effect 💧)
• Weakened digestion & “dampness”
• That annoying feeling of mucus/sputum in the throat

✨ The good side?
Coffee can help move Qi (energy) — especially if you feel:
• Irritable or moody
• Stuck or sluggish
• Constipated

Sometimes one good cup = mood shift + better flow ☕️😉

Everything in moderation. Your body always tells you what it needs.

PC6 (Neiguan) — one of my go-to points.

Great for:
• anxiety & stress
• nausea / digestion
• dizziness
• calming the nervous system

How to use:
Press gently on your inner wrist
for 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off.
Repeat a few times.

You’ll start to feel a grounding,
sinking, relaxing sensation.

That’s your body shifting.

Perfect for a slow Sunday morning. ’s

In TCM, when the body moves, Qi moves ✨

Qi is your life force—the energy flowing through your body. When it slows or gets stuck, you feel heavy, tired, or low. When it flows, you feel lighter, clearer, more like yourself.

Even a simple 20-minute walk can help move Qi, shift your energy, and reset your whole system.

Gentle movement, big difference 🌿
