Chinese Dates or Dà Zǎo (大枣), are one of the most beloved herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. 🌿

Known as the “Herb of Harmony,” Dà Zǎo gently nourishes Qi and Blood, supports digestion, and helps balance the effects of stronger herbs in a formula.

Sweet, warm, and restorative — these little red dates are often added to teas, soups, and tonics to calm the mind and lift the spirit. Make a delicious nourishing tea by boiling some with ginger and a little honey.

A reminder that healing doesn’t always need to be intense. Sometimes, it’s simply sweet and steady. 🍵

“Listen. To live is to be marked. To live is to change, to acquire the words of a story, and that is the only celebration we mortals really know. In perfect stillness, frankly, I've only found sorrow.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible

Moxibustion (艾灸) is one of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s oldest heat therapies. ✨

Using dried mugwort (Ai Ye, 艾叶), practitioners warm acupuncture points to encourage the smooth flow of Qi and Blood, dispel cold, and restore balance.

This gentle heat penetrates deeply, helping relieve fatigue, digestive weakness, menstrual discomfort, and muscle pain. All while nourishing Yang energy and supporting vitality from within.

A simple warmth that reminds the body how to heal itself. 🌿

We just published a paper in the Annals of Palliative Medicine, a collaboration with amazing colleagues at and !

The journal article is a brief review of research into the role integrative medicine (e.g. acupuncture, diet, exercise, supplements, massage, yoga, meditation, etc.) can play in supporting breast cancer survivors.

Our research showed evidence that acupuncture can help with joint pain (such as from letrozole, anastrazole, and other hormone therapies), hot flashes, night sweats, neuropathic pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression.

The paper also includes dietary and exercise suggestions based on the research. To read it, click here: https://apm.amegroups.org/article/view/138691/html

"There are some battles that can only be fought on your knees–usually when you come face to face with your own powerlessness, and the only moves you have left are to bow your head in reverence and clasp your hands in prayer." - Sophie Sabbage, The Cancer Whisperer

Moxibustion (艾灸) is one of the oldest healing techniques in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Made from dried mugwort leaves (Ai Ye), the moxa is gently burned near acupuncture points to warm the channels, move Qi and Blood, and expel cold from the body.

It’s often used to relieve menstrual pain, support digestion, boost energy, and strengthen immunity.

Think of it as a therapeutic warmth that brings your body back into balance, calming the mind while igniting inner vitality. 🌿✨
