The journey towards wellness is unique for each individual. A registered acupuncturist can offer assistance in various ways, including guidance on lifestyle adjustments, nutritional advice, recommendations for physical activity, and, when appropriate, timely and proper referrals.🌱

It is not always about what one can provide, but rather the most suitable path for you.🌱🙌

As an allied health practitioner, it is imperative to provide referrals when necessary and to support you through challenging times in a way that yields positive results. 💯

I collaborate with massage therapists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, reflexologists, and skincare professionals. I am fortunate to have established an excellent network in both Strathmore and Langdon. 🌱

These delightful treats, known as sunshine muffins, feature freshly squeezed orange and ripe mango. They are perfect for brightening up dark and gloomy days with their tropical and citrus notes.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), orange juice is regarded as a cooling, sour, and sweet drink that aids in fluid generation, lung moistening, and digestion. It is particularly suitable for the current weather.

The vibrant, citrusy aroma is thought to "clear the mind" and "uplift the spirit," serving as a remedy for "grey, gloomy days." It is often employed to alleviate feelings of sadness, depression, or stress, fostering a sense of joy and optimism.

Have a great weekend! 🙌🌱

02/06/2026

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a deep sigh, particularly one that is prominent, frequent, or audible, is primarily interpreted as a physical manifestation of Liver Qi Stagnation. This condition refers to an obstruction in the body's energy flow. It is understood to signify the body's involuntary attempt to disperse accumulated energy, which often arises from stress, frustration, emotional suppression, or disappointment.

Common TCM Treatments may include:
Acupuncture: Points like PC6 (Nei Guan) are used to open the chest, and LV3 (Tai Chong) is used to move stuck liver energy. 📍🌿
Herbal Formulas, lifestyle, Movement: Engaging in Tai Chi, Qi Gong, or walking helps move Qi and alleviate the need to sigh. 🚶‍♀️🧘‍♀️

Please note: While a heavy sigh can often indicate emotional stress, if it is accompanied by pain or severe breathlessness, we recommend consulting with your medical doctor.

It's lunchtime! 🍽️😋

Roasting, as opposed to consuming raw foods, can be particularly beneficial during colder periods, as it may alleviate the burden on the digestive system. 🔥🥕

The influence of wind on mood and mental well-being is now recognized. 🌬️🍃

Studies indicate that strong winds may heighten feelings of anxiety or irritability. 😟💨

This occurrence, often termed "meteoropathy," establishes a link between weather patterns and psychological and physical health. 🧠💪

Within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Wind (Feng) has long been identified as a precursor to 'dis-ease' and is considered a notable external pathogen associated with mental health concerns such as anxiety, restlessness, and neurological symptoms. 🌬️🍃🧠

Understanding Wind-Related Symptoms in Traditional Chinese Medicine
• These often present as rapid, fluctuating, or migratory symptoms.
• Strong winds are believed to potentially induce unease by disrupting internal Qi, while internal wind (liver yang hyperactivity) can lead to serious conditions like stroke (wind-stroke) due to imbalances in Yin/Yang, affecting the mind (shen) and manifesting symptoms such as tremors, spasms, and cognitive cloudiness.

What you can do:

•When it's windy, keep your neck and upper back covered (wear scarves) to stay protected 🧣🌬️.
• Eat warm foods, ginger, and cinnamon if you have Wind-Cold 🌶️🔥; peppermint and citrus for Wind-Heat 🍃🍋.
• Exercise regularly, get good sleep, and manage stress to boost your defensive Qi 🧘‍♀️😴💪.
• Get acupuncture! It targets specific spots like GB 20 (Gallbladder 20) at the base of your skull to get rid of wind and balance your energy 📍💆‍♀️.

Acu-Nap = Acupuncture bliss! 😴✨

The one where you ease into the weekend feeling refreshed and prepared, rather than overwhelmed?

That deeply relaxing feeling, often sleep-inducing state where one feels profoundly calm, heavy, sometimes "floaty," and incredibly refreshed... like you just had the most wonderful nap imaginable.

It's your body entering "rest and digest," a clear sign your nervous system is calming down, leading to mental clarity, reduced tension, and deep restoration. 🧘‍♀️💖

My patients frequently report experiencing a greater sense of balance, groundedness, rejuvenation, and revitalization after their treatment🌱

You may also experience increased mental clarity and a significant drop in stress or anxiety.

I have two Friday appointments available at Centerpoint Chiropractic!

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), winter is considered the season for consolidation, integration, and storage. It is a time designated for slowing down, resting, and nurturing the body's vital essence (Jing) to cultivate resilience for the forthcoming year.

This perspective aligns with nature's tendency towards slower movement and inward focus during this time.

Recommendations for winter wellness:

Prioritize Sleep: Adjust your sleep schedule to retire earlier and awaken later, synchronizing with the extended nights and abbreviated days. 😴🛌🌙

Embrace Stillness: Engage in tranquil, introspective pursuits such as meditation, journaling, or quiet reading to foster emotional stability and self-reflection. 🧘‍♀️✍️📖

Moderate Activity: Refrain from strenuous, energy-depleting workouts. Instead, opt for gentle, moderate exercises like Tai Chi, Qigong, or light stretching to maintain circulation without undue exertion. 🚶‍♀️🧘‍♂️🤸‍♀️

Stay Warm: Safeguard susceptible areas such as the lower back (kidney region), neck, and feet from the cold to conserve Yang energy. 🧣🧤🔥

Consider Acupuncture and Herbs! 🌿✨ https://linktr.ee/TelluricTherapy #

In Traditional Chinese Medicine the cooling properties of cabbage are helpful in addressing inflammatory conditions.

Cabbage also known to support digestive health due to its rich fiber content and glutamine, an amino acid known to bolster the gut lining.

Hearty, nourishing meals can be very supportive during times of overindulgence and may help prevent overconsumption.

I enjoyed this borscht today, but egg roll in a bowl is another good choice for a high-fiber, on-the-go meal.

Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that 100 steps following a meal promotes better digestion, helps regulate blood sugar by reducing spikes, aids metabolism, and can improve overall well-being by preventing post-meal sluggishness! 🚶‍♀️🍎😊

It involves a slow, gentle stroll (about 5-10 mins) to stimulate digestive fire and gastric emptying without overexertion, improving nutrient absorption and preventing bloating! 🚶‍♀️🔥💧

Key Benefits of 100 Steps After Meals: 🚶‍♀️🍽️
Aids Digestion: Stimulates digestive enzymes and movement (peristalsis). 🍎
Controls Blood Sugar: Muscles take up glucose, lowering the post-meal sugar spike. 📉
Boosts Metabolism: Helps with food processing and energy. 🔥
Reduces Bloating: Prevents food stagnation and heaviness. 🌬️
Supports Heart Health: Gentle movement benefits cardiovascular function. ❤️
Elevates Mood: Can improve overall mental state. 😊

I'm using natural light to sleep better tonight😴. After a few crazy days, I'm really looking forward to some much-needed rest. 😌🧘.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is all about deep rest, but these days, it is the busiest time of year. ❄️☕🗓️.

To maintain optimal health and resilience, I prioritize incorporating brief rest periods throughout my day. 🧘‍♀️

🌿 I practice breath regulation to optimize Lung Qi, perform stretches between appointments to promote the circulation of Qi and Blood, and mindfully savor flavors to support Spleen function and digestive processes. 🌬️🍎🍓
