🌸 Happy International Women's Day! 🌸

Today I want to share something that genuinely fills me with pride about the medicine I practice — because TCM has been championing women's health for a very long time.

Like, over 2,000 years long. 🙌

During the Han Dynasty (~300 BCE), China had nǚ yī (女醫) — formally trained female physicians treating royalty and holding positions at court. Women as healers wasn't radical.

By the Tang Dynasty, the legendary physician Sun Simiao dedicated entire volumes of his life's work to women's health — menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum care. He recognized that women's physiology was more complex and deserved its own specialized medicine. By 1237 CE, Fuke (婦科) — women's medicine — was a fully established TCM specialty with dedicated textbooks and practitioners. ✨

Which makes it all the more wild that until 1993, the NIH didn't even require women to be included in clinical research. The default study subject was literally a 70 kg white male — and those findings were applied to everyone. The results were genuinely harmful: women's heart attacks were routinely missed because they present differently than men's, sleep medications were found to require half the dose for women (discovered only after years of women being dismissed as "anxious"), and women still wait an average of 7–10 years for an endometriosis diagnosis. We are still catching up.

TCM never had to catch up💛
Your cycle is diagnostic information. Your hormonal patterns are data. Your body is not a deviation from a male norm. It is complete exactly as it is.

Today I'm celebrating the healers who came before me, the patients who kept advocating for themselves, and every woman who trusted her body when the system didn't.

Happy International Women's Day from Conway Acupuncture! 💛🌸

As the colder months settle in, it's important to take extra care of your health to ensure you stay vibrant and strong throughout the season.

Here are some helpful tips to keep you feeling your best:

Stay Hydrated: Even though it's chilly, your body still needs plenty of water. Hydration supports your immune system and keeps your skin from getting dry.

Eat a Balanced Diet: Incorporate plenty of fruits and vegetables ( **cooked- not raw) into your meals to boost your vitamin intake. Foods rich in vitamin C, like oranges and kale, can help fortify your immune defenses.

Get Enough Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your body to recover and strengthen its defenses against winter colds.

Dress Warmly: Layer up to protect yourself from the cold. Don't forget a hat and gloves to keep warm during frigid temperatures. Focus on keeping your neck warm with a thick scarf, as this is where cold-wind pathogens enter the body

Moisturize: Keep your skin hydrated by using a good moisturizer to prevent dryness and cracking due to the cold, dry air.

Stay Active: Even if it's tempting to stay cozy indoors, regular exercise can boost your mood and immune system. Try indoor workouts or bundle up for a brisk walk outside.

Wash Your Hands: Regular handwashing is crucial to prevent the spread of germs during flu season. Wear a mask if you have a cold or flu to prevent others from getting sick too.

By following these simple tips, you can help ensure that winter is a time of health and happiness.

As Hanukkah begins, we pause with hearts that are both reflective and hopeful. This season of light arrives during a time of profound grief and uncertainty, as communities in the Middle East continue to endure violence, and as we mourn the lives impacted by the recent mass shooting in Australia.

Hanukkah reminds us of the enduring power of light in the face of darkness, and of our shared responsibility to show compassion, solidarity, and care for one another. We hold in our thoughts all those affected by loss and violence, and we stand with communities seeking peace, safety, and healing.

May the candles we light inspire empathy, resilience, and a renewed commitment to humanity. Wishing peace, comfort, and strength to all this Hanukkah.

As someone who specializes in cosmetic acupuncture and facial rejuvenation, I spend so much time treating others that it feels amazing to let someone else do the work for a change.
I’m usually the one lifting, sculpting, and relaxing faces — but today I got to melt into a facial massage myself. 😌✨

I’m reminded of why I love the work I do: the way tension softens, the way the skin warms and circulates, the way the whole nervous system drops into ease. Receiving it occasionally helps me show up even better for my own clients.

A little Ganban-yoku warmth + winter self-care = the perfect reset. ❄️💆🏻‍♀️

Such a happy way to spend my day off — and a beautiful reminder of why I’m so passionate about the treatments I offer.

Today I had the Jade stone:

Jade ganban yoku, a form of traditional Japanese hot stone therapy, involves lying on heated jade stone beds to experience various physical and mental wellness benefits.

Today, we take a moment to reflect and remember the many brave women and men who have served — those who dedicated years of their lives, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice — to protect our safety, peace, and freedom.

Lest we forget. 🌺
