Morning sickness has a new name: NVP — nausea and Morning sickness has a new name: NVP — nausea and vomiting in pregnancy. Because let's be honest, "morning" was never quite accurate.

At Eastern Therapies, we take a whole-toolkit approach to NVP support:

🌿 Moxibustion (a warming herb, gently heated near the skin) at a specific acupuncture point
🌿 Press tacks or sea sickness bands at PC6, the wrist point traditionally used for nausea
🌿 Peppermint oil, simply sniffed
🌿 A homeopathic remedy for nausea
🌿 Small, frequent meals rather than three big ones
🌿 Prioritising rest — fatigue tends to make nausea worse

None of these are a single fix, but together they can offer real, gentle relief while your body does the enormous work of growing a baby.

Dealing with NVP right now?

Your most powerful calm-down point isn’t on your b Your most powerful calm-down point isn’t on your body at all—it’s hidden in your ear.

The ear holds some of my favourite points for calming the nervous system. 

One tiny area, connected to the vagus nerve, can help shift you from “fight or flight” into “rest and digest.” By gently stimulating specific ear points, we can access this pathway to support a calmer nervous system, better digestion, improved sleep and more resilient stress response. 

It’s one of the tools I use most often in clinic as part of a broader treatment plan for stress, anxiety, sleep issues and nervous system regulation.

Trying to conceive? Here's one thing worth checkin Trying to conceive? Here's one thing worth checking. 🩺

Over 70% of Australians are low in Vitamin D — and most have no idea.

Vitamin D works more like a hormone than a vitamin. It's linked to egg quality, implantation, and progesterone production. In men, it's associated with sperm motility and testosterone levels.

Here's what's often missed: "in range" isn't the same as optimal. For fertility, many practitioners look for blood levels closer to 120–150 nmol/L — not just above the deficiency cut-off of 50.

If you're on a fertility journey, this is a simple thing to ask your GP to test next time you're getting bloods done.

The team got together for some hands-on training — going over auriculotherapy points (that's ear acupuncture, for anyone new here 👂), then straight to our favourite yum cha in Diamond territory for dumplings.

We finished the day being full Chinese medicine nerds at ChaHalo, taking each other's pulses and talking shop over tea.

Learning, laughing, and a lot of dumplings. Can't wait to do it again 🙌

Ear seeding can be a powerful support for those st Ear seeding can be a powerful support for those struggling with sugar cravings. By stimulating specific points on the lower back linked to appetite and stress, many people notice fewer urges to snack mindlessly and an easier time saying “no” to sweets. It’s a gentle, non-invasive therapy that can complement dietary changes and mindset work, helping you feel more in control of your choices rather than ruled by cravings.

Ready to get support with your sugar cravings?

Book a session and experience how targeted seeding can help you feel calmer and more in control.

Case note: Acupuncture support for V-BAC preparati Case note: Acupuncture support for V-BAC preparation

A patient came to us to prepare for a V-BAC — a vaginal birth after caesarean.

We began weekly acupuncture from 37 weeks, alongside her ongoing obstetric care. This is something we support often — patients preparing for labour, whether working towards a V-BAC or birth more generally.

She went on to have a 12-hour natural labour.

Thinking about labour prep? Chat with us to see what that could look like.

By the time many patients find us, they've already been through a lot.

Acupuncture doesn't replace fertility treatment — it's often used alongside it, to support the nervous system, reduce stress load, and help the body feel more resourced through a hard process.

Every fertility journey looks different. We're here for the whole of it, not just the outcome.

“How long should acupuncture needles stay in?” A “How long should acupuncture needles stay in?”

A common guideline is around 20 minutes.

This gives your nervous system time to shift into a more relaxed, parasympathetic state and allows the body to respond to the points that have been selected. In some cases your practitioner may adjust this time slightly based on your constitution, treatment goal, or how you’re feeling that day, but 20 minutes is a solid, standard length for most sessions.

Curious what a 20‑minute acu reset feels like?

Book your treatment and let your body fully drop into deep relaxation.

One of my long-term patients travels interstate fo One of my long-term patients travels interstate for a two-week intensive using laser therapy and acupuncture, as part of his ongoing support for retinitis pigmentosa.

The approach focuses on three things: supporting a reduction in retinal inflammation, supporting healthy immune regulation, and supporting overall eye health and function.

Some patients on this kind of protocol report noticing changes in areas like night vision, visual fields, clarity, and how their eyes adjust between light and dark — though individual results vary, and this is used as adjunctive support alongside their existing eye care, not a replacement for it.

It's a reminder that whole-person care sometimes means showing up consistently, over time, for the body to respond.

Curious whether this kind of support could be part of your eye health plan? Send us a message and we can talk through what's involved.

Winter calls for a tea that actually does somethin Winter calls for a tea that actually does something. ☕🍎

This is my go-to Chinese healing tea — and it takes just 5 minutes to make.

Inside the pot:
🍇 Gou qi (goji) berries — nourish blood + support eye health
🍄 Snow fungus — a gentle tonic that moistens and supports the lungs
🍎 Half an apple — in TCM, apple moistens the lungs, helpful for dry cough, dry mouth or thirst
🌰 Red dates — sweet, warming, and brilliant for building blood + energy
🌿 Huang qi (astragalus) — supports a strong immune system
🍵 A little Korean ginseng powder — for an energy lift

Note: if you run hot, have high blood pressure, or are pregnant, check with your practitioner before adding ginseng.

Save this for your next grocery run, and if you'd like a cup (or a proper TCM consult), come visit us at Eastern Therapies in Bondi Junction. 🍵

Failed IVF rounds with no real explanation? You're Failed IVF rounds with no real explanation? You're not imagining it.

Fewer eggs retrieved. Embryos not making it to Day 5. A diagnosis of "unexplained infertility" that explains nothing.

At Eastern Therapies, we look beyond the standard fertility workup. Using functional pathology testing, we explore what a typical IVF clinic doesn't usually screen for — then support your body with Chinese herbal medicine and targeted supplements, tailored to what we find.

This isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. It's about understanding your whole picture.

You're not a puzzle without an answer. You may just need someone to look a little deeper.

This week’s “clinic” is a boat in Phuket. Right n This week’s “clinic” is a boat in Phuket.

Right now I’m not talking meridians or needle technique — I’m talking branding, team culture, and how to actually lead people well.

Because here’s the thing: being good at Chinese medicine gets you in the door. It’s not what keeps a clinic running.

The real work is building a team who understands why we do things a certain way, not just the how. It’s knowing how to communicate a vision clearly enough that people can run with it without me in the room.

So this week, I’ve been learning from people who build brands and teams for a living. Different skill set, same principle — whether it’s the nervous system or a business, systems and accountability is what matters.

Not all of my cooking turns out. But I'm willing t Not all of my cooking turns out. But I'm willing to keep showing up to the stove and giving it a go — because there's no such thing as failure, only feedback.

It's the same philosophy I bring to fertility care.

Not every cycle looks the way we hope. In Chinese medicine, we don't see that as failure — we see it as feedback. Your body is telling us something: about your qi (energy), your blood, your stress load, your sleep.

So we adjust. The herbs, the acupuncture points, the lifestyle pieces, and we investigate via functional medicine tests — and we keep going.

There's no such thing as a failed cycle. Only information that helps us refine the approach. 🌱

Plot twist: cold potatoes beat hot potatoes, and s Plot twist: cold potatoes beat hot potatoes, and science has the receipts 🧠🥔

Letting a cooked potato cool triggers retrogradation — the starch re-forms into a structure your body can't fully digest. That's "resistant starch," and it's doing some serious work: smaller blood sugar spike, food for your gut bacteria (hello, butyrate), and way more staying power than the hot version.

So this herby, garlicky, olive-studded potato salad isn't just a mayo-free glow-up — it's doing your gut a favour too. Same trick works for rice and pasta, btw.

Ingredients
1kg new potatoes, whole
4 garlic cloves
1 bunch mint leaves
1 bunch coriander, leaves + stems
2 tbsp coriander seeds
40ml sherry vinegar
150ml olive oil
50g toasted flaked almonds
60g torn kalamata olives
Fine sea salt 1 tsp

Method

Boil potatoes in salted water, 20 mins until fork-tender. Drain, cool, quarter.

Blitz garlic, 20g mint, 40g coriander + coriander seeds to a rough paste.

Stir vinegar, oil + 1 tsp salt into the paste.

Add potatoes, almonds, olives + remaining herbs. Gently combine.

Cool to room temp before serving.
