In reply to Alina.

Hey Alina,
Thanks for your feedback. I think it’s important to recognise that Chinese Medicine and what I do as a practitioner of TCM is heavily regulated here in Australia and a wonderful modality and wellness philosophy. I’m sad to hear of the horrible things you’ve seen and experienced. It’s always important to come back to what feels right for each of us. Sadly these days, it’s near impossible to find a flawless modality – but my background and studies are in Bio-Sciences and TCM so that’s what you’ll always find me come back to. x

Hi, Nat. I agree with everything you say re pills and educating yourself. But when you mention Chinese medicine I get these horror pictures. I used to live at the border with China. And I used to see these images on TV of poor bears and their cubs with no paws left alive to die like this. Chinese use their paws for their medicine. It is cruel and completely nuts. And it is still happening now. Therefore if you gonna use the word “Chinese medicine”, please say “ethical” before it.
I am sure we have something to learn from different cultures but I cannot understand the latest obsession with Chinese medicine. Let’s be mindful and try to be kind to ourselves, the world around us and the environment. There is no pill for all of us and there can be no perfect medicine (especially Chinese). Their culture lacks the holistic approach and you can see this by acknowledging the environmental disasters which they cause. I lived near there. In 10 years the huge river which was perfect to swim became even dangerous to be around.
Wish luck to everybody in their joyney here but please let’s not get obsessed about any culture especially when we only read about it from books. It may be very cruel in practice.
