What is Glutathione and why do you need it?⁠
Glutathione is the mother of all antioxidants, the master detoxifier and maestro of the immune system. It is a tripeptide made up of 3 amino acids; glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. 💉⁠
⁠
💙Glutathione has many important functions in our body, but most importantly, it is referred to as the master antioxidant . In relation to fertility, it protects cells (egg/sperm) from damage due to ROS (Reactive oxygen species) such as lipid hydroperoxides (turning them into alcohols) and hydrogen peroxide (turning it into water).⁠
⁠
💙 Glutathione is important in recycling other antioxidants such as vitamin C and E, so their net protective effects are increased. It is capable of preventing damage to cellular components caused by ROS (such as free radicals, peroxides, lipid peroxides), xenobiotics, and heavy metals.⁠
⁠
💙 It plays important roles in nutrient metabolism, and regulation of cellular events including; ⁠
🌱Proper gene methylation (expression of genes)⁠
🌱DNA and protein synthesis⁠
🌱Cell proliferation (growth)⁠
🌱Cellular apoptosis (regulated cell death)⁠
🌱Cellular communications⁠
🌱Immune response⁠
⁠
💉Glutathione is available in different forms, including pills, and in a lot of foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and meats. However, an injection form of glutathione is more effective than oral supplementation. This is because it delivers the powerful antioxidant directly into your bloodstream and bypass the digestive system and allows you to get the benefits of glutathione much more quickly in higher concentrations. 💉

💧World Water Day is the chance to remind ourselves that billions of people to this day do not have access to safe, readily available water at home.⁠
⁠
💧Water is life. It is one of the greatest blessings that we cannot live without. It is a known fact that water has tremendous healing potential for the human mind, body and spirit. We rely on water for our food, our health, our livelihoods, and for fun and leisure. It is something so basic yet important and often taken for granted.

How can acupuncture and Chinese medicine help treat Endometriosis?⁠
⁠
1. Acupuncture and TCM can be very effective at addressing symptoms associated with endometriosis. ⁠
⁠
2. Our primary goal is to reduce pain with secondary goals being to improve fertility, balance hormone levels and reduce inflammation surrounding the ovaries and uterus. In some cases symptoms are worse around ovulation and increase until menstruation, warranting more treatments.⁠
⁠
3. Chinese herbal medicine can help to reduce heavy bleeding and regulate menstrual flow.⁠
⁠
4. Depending on the situation, acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help to resolve Blood Stasis, clear Heat or nourish the Spleen thereby reducing bleeding and minimizing pain.⁠

☝️ Moxa or Moxibustion is a kind of external heat therapy treatment based on the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Moxa is the herb mugwort, or commonly known in China as Aie-ya. Therapeutically, moxa is used to treat and prevent disease by burning moxa on specific areas and acupuncture points on the body which enhances the healing action of that specific acupuncture point. It can be burned without a flame with the thermal stimulation affecting both shallow and deep tissues of the skin. ⁠
⁠
🌱 This study showed that moxa combined with acupuncture significantly improved blood flow to the uterine wall which in turn had positive effects and improved the quality of the uterine wall. This allowed for more successful implantation and successful pregnancy as the uterine environment was more receptive. The application of moxa should be a consideration for patients due to the positive effects that are now being studied in greater detail with results that TCM. ⁠

🌱 XIAO YAO SAN - Chinese herbal tincture⁠
⁠
🌱 I speak to you as a hormonal Cisgender female. I suffer at times of the month with my emotion, creating havoc around me. For about 7 - 10 days I sleep poorly, I eat poorly, I get mad easily, I get sad (the whole time) and I wake up days later 5 pounds heavier, with a wake of messy all around me I have to clean up. I am usually ashamed. ⁠
⁠
🌱 I have sought western medical help and taken medication to help me through it but the side effects are too much for me.⁠
⁠
🌱 It was not until I started dating a handsome TCM Doctor (Dr Pentland) that this little elixir came into my life and things started to change.⁠
⁠
🌱 Xiao Yao San is a formula that was created 2,000 years ago for just this. 'Traditional Chinese herbal medicine in liquid tincture form for easy absorption. Extremely effective for PMS, digestion, hormonal balance, stress and anxiety reduction. Common formulation used for female fertility cultivation. '⁠
⁠
🌱 That cycle I did not even realize I was hormonal, because I was not hit with an emotional bulldozer, I got my period and was totally sideswiped. No sad, no mad, not eating too much, just living my life and having a good time. I had thought something was really wrong me, and to have a little tincture bottle turn things around was incredible.⁠
⁠
🌱 Every woman should be on this formula, it works and best of all it does not have side effects⁠
⁠

👉 Maisie Hill, a women’s health expert and birth doula writes: ‘Your period and your cycle are a reflection of your overall health and can be affected by little and large life events...While you may be aware that the events that have happened in your current cycle can have an influence on your upcoming period, it’s important to look back even further, to what has transpired in previous cycles. Here’s why: housed in your ovaries are dormant follicles, each of which contains an immature egg, and it takes them over a year to develop from their dormant state and reach the ovulatory phase. Around 190 days before ovulation takes place, they develop a blood supply and begin to respond to their environment, so we need to think beyond what’s happened to us in the cycle we’re in, the one before that, and go back even further to what transpired in the last six months.’ ⁠
⁠
✋🏼Can we take a pause and appreciate how amazing the human body is?⁠
⁠
📚 This snippet taken from Hill’s book ‘Period Power,’ informs us why our treatment plans at Yinstill usually extend beyond one cycle. We (and you) need to get to know your cycle and create a healthy environment that is blood and nutrient-rich while lowering environmental, emotional, and physical stresses to help support fertility. ⁠

💛March is Endometriosis Awareness Month! 💛⁠
⁠
💛What is Endometriosis?⁠
Endometriosis is a hormonal and immune system disease in which cells similar to the lining of the uterus grow outside the uterine cavity. The uterine cavity is lined with endometrial cells, which are under the influence of female hormones. Endometrial cells in areas outside the uterus are also influenced by hormonal changes and respond in a way that is similar to the cells found inside the uterus.⁠
⁠
💛What are the common symptoms of Endometriosis?⁠
Common symptoms of endometriosis are pain and infertility. The pain often is worse with the menstrual cycle and is the most common cause of secondary dysmenorrhea. In other cases, the pain is felt only with menstruation, while others experience pain throughout their cycle.⁠
⁠
💛How to manage and treat Endometriosis Naturally?⁠
There is still much one can do to manage pain and create a healthier environment for the reproductive organs:⁠
⁠
🌱Visceral manipulation - A properly trained massage therapist may be able to aid in the softening or healing of pelvic adhesions caused by Endometriosis.⁠
⁠
🌱Indole 3 Carbinol, Magnesium, & N-Acetylcysteine - These as well as other supplements may help the body better manage this condition via hormone regulation, nourishing deficiencies, reducing pain, and limiting or reducing the growth of Endometriosis.⁠
⁠
🌱Acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine - Extremely effective for the management of menstrual pain associated with Endometriosis.⁠
⁠
🌱Brussels sprouts - Liver health is required to properly convert and eliminate proliferative estrogen, which can be high in women with Endometriosis. Including cruciferous vegetables in your diet such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collards, cauliflower, kale and turnips will aid the liver with this important task.⁠
⁠
🌱Avoid toxins - Many toxins in our environment are known to disrupt hormonal balance and are major contributors to conditions such as Endometriosis.⁠

🌱 Healing after Loss 🌱⁠
⁠
If you have experienced pregnancy loss, you may experience guilt, anger, shock, sadness, numbness, and a sense of failure. The emotional toll of loss often takes longer than the physical so it is key to listen to your needs during this time and take care of yourself. ⁠
⁠
Here are some things that may help: ⁠
⁠
🌱 Give yourself space to heal, body and mind⁠
🌱 Use your support network⁠
🌱 Allow yourself to process the grief ⁠
🌱 Set clear boundaries (it is okay to say no to that baby shower invite!) ⁠
🌱 Find a way to commemorate your baby ⁠
⁠
And remember, no one grieves the same way, so be authentic with yourself and with what you need through this time. ⁠

🌱 From a Chinese medicine perspective, weight gain (and difficulty losing weight), ovarian cysts, and other common symptoms of PCOS often present as Spleen Qi deficiency with Phlegm-Damp accumulation in the Lower Jiao (lower abdomen). In this case, our focus is to tonify and nourish the Spleen energy (digestive function) and drain or resolve Dampness (Phlegm) in the body, thereby restoring menstrual regularity as we work to improve metabolism and focus on weight loss as a way to regain control over hormone levels.⁠
⁠
How can acupuncture and Chinese medicine help?⁠
⁠
🌱 Electro-Acupuncture – once a week for 15-20 weeks helps restore regular ovulation in many women (balance hormones).⁠
🌱 A study in the journal Acta Diabetologia showed that acupuncture decreased insulin resistance in women with PCOS.⁠
🌱 Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can support weight loss.⁠
⁠
👉 Here at Yinstill, we understand that not all people experience PCOS the same. That is why our practitioners create personalized treatment plans for each of our clients. To book your initial consultation, use the link in the bio to connect with us! ⁠
