Some cultural differences when it comes to drinking that I’ve observed living between China and the U.S. 🍷 Anything unique from your culture you can share?
It’s hard to know what to say or do when you’re trying to follow up on business but the other party could potentially be impacted by a tragedy like the LA fires. Show empathy without making assumptions, give them space to share if needed, and maintain a professional tone. It’s a fine line to balance but here is a script…
Happy new year – and upcoming year of the snake! In Hong Kong we grow up drinking snake soup but swipe left to see my first time eating it fried. According to traditional Chinese medicine, snake meat is “yang” so it warms the body, helping counter the “yin” effects of cold winter. It is good for skin, lungs and and blood circulation. It was hard for me to think about eating it at first, especially with all the scales staring you in the face…buuut I believe in trying everything once. Other scenic spots featured: – Tiananmen Square, where Mao’s body is embalmed – Forbidden City, where 24 Chinese emperors resided over 500 years with thousands of concubines at any given time

Cupping on the lower back and tailbone helps with cramps, irregular periods and fertility by clearing blockages in the uterus and ovaries. You can do dry cupping which doesn’t involve breaking skin or wet cupping where your practitioner makes small incisions on your skin followed by suction cups that allow blood to flow into the cup. Wet cupping is more effective – if I’m late, I go for wet cupping and my period comes ON THE DAY. Pic 1 and 3 are dry cupping – every trip to China I swing by Hangzhou just to double up on my TCM needs – tuina medical massage, acupuncture, cupping and herbs. Hangzhou has been the centre of Chinese medicine for thousands of years so they have the best doctors. I recently came back to LA and pic 4 shows incision marks from wet cupping. They go away after a week. I see Dr Jae Kim at Acumedi Health in Koreatown, he is excellent.

It took about 10 lessons and then I was back on my merry way 🪭

Wet cupping (draws blood) vs Dry cupping in action. Both are good for aches and pains or stiff muscles. Wet cupping is more effective at improving blood circulation.
