In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), winter is a time of rest, conservation, and stillness, aligned with the water element which is associated with the Kidneys and Bladder.

Lì D**g marks the beginning of winter in the Traditional Chinese solar calendar.

Your digestion slows down. In colder months, your body directs energy toward maintaining core temperature.
This means slower digestion and circulation, switch to warm, cooked foods that support your Spleen and Stomach.

Your mood can dip as sunlight lessens.
With less protective Yang energy at the surface, your body is more vulnerable to wind and cold.
Ensure to keep your head, neck, lower back, and feet warm to protect your Qi and prevent seasonal imbalances.

When the day’s grow shorter, your Yin energy rises. As daylight shortens, the body’s active, outward Yang energy turns inward and your Yin energy rises.
This helps conserve warmth and rebuild strength, but can also make you feel slower or more tired.

You become more sensitive to cold. With less protective Yang energy at the surface, your body is more vulnerable to wind and cold.
Keep your head, neck, lower back, and feet warm to protect your Qi and prevent seasonal imbalances.

You crave more sleep. Winter is nature’s time of rest, and your body follows suit. Your body begins storing energy for the months ahead and you may crave more sleep, heavier foods, or quiet time.
This is your body replenishing Kidney energy, the root of vitality in Chinese medicine.

A natural, holistic approach to boosting immune function is acupuncture.

Acupuncture has been used to enhance the body’s defenses, helping avoid seasonal illnesses like colds and flu by regulating immune responses.

Several acupuncture treatment points are considered particularly effective for boosting the immune system, each associated with unique therapeutic benefits:

LI4

LI4 is commonly used to alleviate various symptoms, including headaches, congestion, and stress.

ST36

ST36 is renowned for its energy-boosting properties. This point is believed to enhance immunity by improving digestive health and nutrient absorption.

SP6

SP6 is often utilised for its relaxing effects. It is thought to promote immune health by balancing the body’s energy and supporting hormone regulation.

LI11

LI11 can be particularly beneficial in conditions characterised by an overactive immune response, such as allergies or autoimmune diseases.

LU7

LU7 is used during the early symptoms of a cold or flu like symptoms, chills, fever, congestion, sore throat, or cough.

KID27

KID27 is beneficial in relieving respiratory discomfort, including cough, wheezing, chest tightness.

GB20

GB20 is especially beneficial for those suffering from chronic fatigue, as it restores energy levels and invigorates the body’s natural defenses.

Once a week for 20 minutes, sit in a hot bath that contains a handful of Epsom salts, 10 drops of lavender essential oil, and a half cup of baking soda.
This combo draws out toxins, lowers stress related hormones, and balances your pH levels.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, autumn is a season of transition, marked by qualities of dryness, contraction, and a natural inward focus. This seasonal shift moves from the expansive, outward yang energy of summer toward the more reflective and conserving yin energy of winter. 

Autumn is associated with the Metal element, which governs the lungs and large intestine. During this time, the lungs and large intestine are considered most vulnerable and require extra nourishment and support. 
The Lungs: As the most external organ, the lungs are our first line of defense against illness. The dry autumn air can weaken lung energy (Qi), potentially leading to respiratory issues like dry coughs, sore throats, and colds.
The Large Intestine: This organ is responsible for physical elimination and is associated with “letting go”. In autumn, this includes releasing emotional baggage and any habits that no longer serve us, just as trees shed their leaves. 

Practice “letting go”: Reflect on what no longer serves you and release it, whether it’s emotional baggage or physical clutter.
Protect yourself from “evils”: Cover your neck with a scarf to protect against wind, and dress warmly to prevent cold from entering the body.
Increase rest and sleep: As the days shorten, honor your body’s natural inward shift toward rest and restoration.
Practice mindful breathing: Simple breathing exercises or Qi Gong can strengthen lung Qi and help circulate energy.
Seek acupuncture: This can help balance yin and yang, strengthen immunity, and manage seasonal allergies or fatigue.

How acupuncture can help with womens health.

1. Menstrual Health and Hormonal Balance
Acupuncture is utilised to address menstrual irregularities, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and hormonal inbalances. By stimulating specific points, it aims to regulate the endocrine system, enhance blood flow to reproductive organs and support liver detoxification promoting hormonal balance.

2. Fertility and Reproductive support. Acupuncture supports fertility, including during assisted reproductive technologies like IVF. Practitioners report that acupuncture may improve ovarian function, regulate menstrual cycles and enhance uterine lining receptivity, potentially increasing the chances of conception.

3. Pregnancy and Postpartum Care
During pregnancy, acupuncture can be used to alleviate common discomforts such as nausea, fatigue and back pain. It may also assist in labor preparation and postpartum recovery. Acupuncture may also significantly reduce lower back and pelvic pain during pregnancy.

4. Menopause Symptom Management
Acupuncture offers a natural approach to managing menopausal symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and insomnia. By balancing the body’s energy and supporting the endocrine system, acupuncture may alleviate these symptoms and improve sleep quality.

5. Stress Reduction and Emotional Wellbeing.
Acupuncture is known to promote relaxation and reduce stress by stimulating the release of endorphins and modulating the nervous system.
This can be particularly beneficial for women experiencing anxiety, depression or emotional fluctuations related to their cycle or other hormonal changes.
