What TCM tells about your cravings 👇🏼 If you tried everything to release your cravings, yet nothing seems to help. Look at the energetics behind your cravings. Your cravings CAN simply be a symbolic messenger of a deeper message. From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, food cravings are related to an imbalance in energy within the 5 elements. Everything in this world is made up of these 5 elements: wood, fire, earth, metal & water, and these are associated with specific organs. When there is an imbalance, it can affect the related organs and eventually, if not corrected, the surrounding organs as well. Even unhealthy craving can point you to what your body truly needs. So listen to your cravings, choose a healthier alternative to the craving and nourishment that will help correct the imbalance while also addressing the emotional + spiritual root. This is the overview. I am going to break down each type of craving further in separate reels. Stay tuned.

✨ 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐦—𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧, each tied to an element, an organ, and even an emotion. ✨ Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes each craving reveals a deeper story from our body’s wisdom. ✨ 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐲? Your lungs and large intestine may be asking for release, a call to let go of grief. ✨ 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐲? Your kidneys and bladder might need grounding, guiding you to confront hidden fears. ✨ 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐭? Your spleen and stomach could be overwhelmed by worry, seeking the ability to truly receive. ✨ 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫? Your liver and gallbladder may be holding onto anger, inviting you to detoxify and release resentment. ✨ 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐬? Your heart and small intestine might be signaling anxiety, urging you to rekindle your vitality. Every craving is an invitation to explore, heal, and reconnect. Tap into your body’s messages, and allow your cravings to lead you to balance. 📌 SAVE this post for future reflection and 📲 SHARE with your people! #hormonehealing #womenshealth #mindbodyconnection #rootcausehealing #hormonebalance #pcoshealing #fertilitysupport #emotionalhealing #tcmhealing #cravingsdecoded #traditionalchinesemedicine

What if the wellness routines they sell us are actually draining us? 🤯 November’s introspective energy is calling you to slow down, tune in, and nourish from within. Forget the rigid, one-size-fits-all routines—what if you aligned your body with the season’s natural rhythms instead? 🥕 Root veggies. 🫚 Warming herbs. Quiet, intentional moments. These aren’t “wellness hacks”—they’re ancient tools for grounding, resilience, and true connection. This isn’t about ticking boxes on a ‘perfect’ routine. It’s about reclaiming your rhythm, honoring your feminine energy, and embracing health on your terms. Stop letting trends boss you around. Let your intuition lead. Ready to tune out the noise and trust your own body this November? #hormonehealing #womenshealth #mindbodyconnection #rootcausehealing #hormonebalance #pcoshealing #fertilitysupport #femininehealing #emotionalhealing #healingpcosnaturally

How did we get here? Where hustle and burnout are celebrated while rest and softness are seen as weakness? The collective narrative says, ‘push harder, achieve more,’ but at what cost? The collective feminine body is paying the price. The endless chase to be ‘enough’—it’s not empowerment; it’s exhaustion. What if the true power lies in slowing down, in reconnecting to your body, and in reclaiming your lifeforce? You don’t have to play by their rules. Rewrite your dharma. Stop running on empty just to fit their mold, babe. Rest, softness, and inner peace are your birthright. Are you done with the burnout cycle? Ready to reclaim what’s yours? Let’s talk about the power of doing less and being more. Drop a ❤️ if you’re with me. #hormonehealing #womenshealth #mindbodyconnection #rootcausehealing #hormonebalance #pcoshealing #fertilitysupport #femininehealing #emotionalhealing #healingpcosnaturally

The world feels intense and emotionally charged right now. Take a moment to pause and reconnect with yourself. Real safety isn’t out there—it’s within you. This is one of my favorite quick but powerful exercises to reconnect. By engaging your fingers, you’re grounding back into your body while repeating this affirmation: “Peace begins with me.” The only thing you can control is your emotional response. You don’t have to push through or keep up with the chaos; that’s what you’ve been conditioned to do. Instead, give yourself permission to slow down, breathe, and create calm from within. Today, choose to be your own source of peace. The more you lean into your own stillness, the more resilient you’ll feel. Let’s make strength about grounded softness, about finding true safety inside. #womensupportingwomen #womenshealth #mindbodyconnection #rootcausehealing #hormonebalance #emotionalhealing #groundingexercise #reconnectwithself #emotionalregulation #peacewithin
