Health Tips

Your Angbao Is Full… But Is Your Body Overdrawn? 🧧💥

The Fun Post-CNY Recovery Guide by Yan Sang Tang TCM Clinic

Chinese New Year summary:

✔ Ate like a king
✔ Slept like… not much
✔ Visited 37 houses
✔ Said “I’m so full” 92 times

And now?

Your jeans feel tighter.
Your face feels puffier.
Your stomach sounds suspicious.
Your energy? Missing.

Welcome to the Post-CNY Body Hangover.

At Yan Sang Tang TCM Clinic, this is peak season for what we lovingly call “Too Much Huat Syndrome.”

The Festive Formula for Imbalance

Let’s break it down:

🍍 Sugar +
🥘 Oil +
🍷 Alcohol +
🌙 Late nights +
🚗 Minimal movement

= Digestive slowdown + Internal heat + Water retention

In TCM terms?

Your Spleen Qi is tired.
Your Liver Qi is stuck.
Your body fluids are not moving smoothly.

In normal terms?

You feel heavy.

Signs You’re in “Festive Aftershock”

• Bloated even when you didn’t eat much
• Pimples popping up
• Constipation (or the opposite)
• Puffy face in selfies
• Waking up tired
• Easily irritated

Don’t worry — your body isn’t broken. It’s just overloaded.

The TCM Glow-Back Plan ✨

At Yan Sang Tang TCM Clinic, we don’t cancel your bak kwa. We simply help your body recalibrate.

🌿 Personalised Herbal Reset

Customised herbal prescriptions may help to:

• Improve digestion
• Reduce bloating
• Clear “heatiness”
• Restore energy
• Regulate bowel movements

Because your cousin’s “heatiness” may not be the same as yours.

🪡 Acupuncture for Flow

Feeling stuck? Heavy? Irritated?

Acupuncture may help:

• Support digestive function
• Improve circulation
• Enhance sleep
• Restore energy balance

Many patients describe feeling lighter after sessions — like traffic finally clearing.

🔥 Cupping for That “Stuck” Feeling

If your back feels tight and your body feels sluggish, cupping therapy may help improve circulation and relieve stagnation.

It’s like pressing the “reset” button for your system.

Quick DIY Mini Reset

Before you even book an appointment:

✔ Drink warm water (no ice!)
✔ Choose soups over fried food
✔ Sleep before 11pm
✔ Walk after meals
✔ Slow down your snacking

Simple changes. Big impact.
