In recent days, I’ve been receiving dozens of complaints from my patients about severe headaches. Especially today and yesterday — an невероятное number of cases.

So what is happening?

The reason is that yesterday and today we are experiencing a peak of intense geomagnetic storm activity.

You can check similar events here:
https://my-calend.ru/magnitnye-buri

What are magnetic storms and why do they affect our condition?

Magnetic storms are a phenomenon that occurs when disturbances arise in the Earth’s magnetic field. These disturbances can be caused by solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and other forms of solar activity. Although these storms are generally safe, some people may experience headaches during such events.

One theory links changes in the magnetic field to electrical activity in the brain. This may lead to increased production of certain neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, which can trigger headaches.

Another possible explanation is that changes in the magnetic field may cause changes in the blood vessels of the brain, leading to their constriction or dilation. This can provoke headaches as the blood vessels attempt to adapt to these changes.

Some people may be more sensitive to magnetic field fluctuations than others. These individuals may be more prone to developing headaches during geomagnetic storms.

It is important to note that although some people may experience headaches during magnetic storms, this is not a widespread phenomenon.

Tomorrow we will talk about first aid for headaches and what we can do in these moments.

Acupuncture Point Kidney 2 (KD2, Rangu — “Blazing Valley”)

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Kidney 2 (KD2) is called Rangu — “Blazing Valley.”
It is one of the most fascinating points on the Kidney meridian because it regulates internal “empty heat” while preserving and nourishing Yin.

Location:
The point is located on the inner side of the foot, slightly below and anterior to the medial malleolus, in the depression beneath the navicular bone.

What Makes Kidney 2 Unique?

KD2 is the Ying-Spring (Fire element) point of the Kidney meridian.
It has the ability to gently clear Deficiency Heat and harmonize internal balance.
• Clears heat from Yin deficiency
• Helps with night sweats
• Reduces irritability and inner restlessness
• Supports emotional balance
• Nourishes Kidney Yin
• Promotes hormonal harmony
• Relieves dryness caused by deficiency
• Eases menopausal symptoms
• Reduces hot flashes
• Improves sleep in Yin-deficiency insomnia

Energetic Understanding

The Kidneys are the root of Yin in the entire body.
When Yin weakens, “empty heat” rises and may manifest as:
• Afternoon or evening heat
• Night sweats
• Dry throat
• Anxiety
• Restless sleep
• Tinnitus

Kidney 2 gently cools this internal heat without depleting vital energy — like cooling glowing embers while preserving the deep warmth of life.

The Beauty of Clinical Application

Kidney 2 can be harmoniously combined with:
• Kidney 3 — for deep Yin nourishment
• Spleen 6 — to strengthen overall Yin
• Heart 7 — to calm the Shen

In TCM, there are no accidental points.
Kidney 2 reminds us that even in the deepest water, fire can be hidden…
And our task is to maintain the balance between them.

The brilliant philosophy of Chinese Medicine is the theory of the Five Elements. They are interconnected and explain how our body functions as a whole.

They help us understand how our organs work, what needs to be corrected at a given moment, and what happens during different periods of the year.

The theory of the Five Elements describes Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water as the fundamental elements of the material world. In Chinese Medicine, these elements help us understand the patient and their personality. They also help us determine the best and most effective treatment plan.

If you are a “Wood personality,” you may be athletic, energetic, and adventurous. The body structure of a Wood personality is usually muscular. Wood types tend toward anxiety and anger. They may suffer from orthopedic problems, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, migraines, or attention deficit syndrome.

Organs: Liver and Gallbladder
Season: Spring
Weather: Wind
Direction: East
Emotion: Anger
Color: Blue/Green
Taste: Sour
Sound: Shouting
Sense Organ: Eyes
Sense: Vision
Body Tissue: Tendons

A “Fire personality” consists of passionate, creative, and authoritative people. Their body structure may be wider in the middle with a more pointed top :). Fire types tend to be impulsive and irritable. They may suffer from insomnia, high blood pressure, chest pain, or headaches.

Organs: Heart and Small Intestine
Season: Summer
Weather: Heat
Direction: South
Emotion: Joy
Color: Red
Taste: Bitter, Burnt
Sound: Laughter
Sense Organ: Tongue
Sense: Taste
Body Tissue: Blood vessels

An “Earth personality” is nurturing, generous, and caring. Their body structure may be round and fleshy. Earth types are often prone to worry and overthinking. They may suffer from digestive problems or hormonal imbalances.

Organs: Spleen and Stomach
Season: Late Summer / Harvest
Weather: Dampness
Direction: Center
Emotion: Worry
Color: Yellow
Taste: Sweet
Sound: Singing
Sense Organ: Mouth, Lips
Sense: Touch
Body Tissue: Muscles

A “Metal personality” is meticulous, honest, and responsible. Their body structure may be somewhat angular and tall. Metal types tend toward melancholy. They may suffer from constipation, lung and skin problems, or allergies.

Organs: Lungs and Large Intestine
Season: Autumn
Weather: Dryness
Direction: West
Emotion: Grief
Color: White
Taste: Pungent
Sound: Weeping
Sense Organ: Nose

Water personalities are old souls. They are wise, reflective, and reserved. Their body structure may be soft and rounded. Water types tend to be indecisive and fearful. They may suffer from lower back and knee pain, kidney infections, or bladder infections.

Organs: Kidneys and Urinary Bladder
Season: Winter
Weather: Cold
Direction: North
Emotion: Fear
Color: Black
Taste: Salty
Sound: Groaning
Sense Organ: Ears
Sense: Hearing, Balance
Body Tissue: Bones, Brain

To choose the correct treatment, we must always observe what is happening with these elements and where their connection has “broken.”

All Elements are connected. Wood feeds Fire, Fire creates Earth, Earth creates Metal, Metal holds Water, and Water nourishes Wood. Wood roots into Earth, Earth dams Water, Water extinguishes Fire, Fire melts Metal, and Metal cuts Wood. Each element controls and is controlled by another. The system is interconnected, dynamic, and constantly seeking balance. One element may be more dominant in us than the others. This is where we are strongest — but also most vulnerable.

🎉 Happy Chinese New Year! The Year of the Fire Horse 2026 is coming! 🐎🔥

Today the world is painted in bright red, and the air is filled with the aroma of festive treats and the sound of fireworks. We are entering the Year of the Fire Horse, which officially begins on February 17, 2026.

Why do they celebrate for 15 whole days?

In Chinese culture, the New Year (the Spring Festival) is not just one night — it is an entire two-week journey. Each day carries its own sacred meaning:
• Day 1: Welcoming the gods and reuniting with family. A time for loud celebrations to drive away evil spirits.
• Day 3: “The Day of the Red Dog.” It is believed this is best spent staying at home and resting away from unnecessary bustle.
• Day 7: “The Birthday of Humanity” — a day celebrated by everyone, traditionally marked by eating a special raw fish salad for prosperity.
• Day 13: A day of purification. After lavish feasts, people eat light vegetarian food to cleanse and reset the body.
• Day 15: The grand finale — the Lantern Festival (Yuanxiao Jie). The sky fills with thousands of glowing lights, symbolizing hope and family unity.

🐎 Forecast for 2026: The Energy of the Fire Horse

A Fire Horse year happens only once every 60 years, making it a time of enormous change! The Horse symbolizes speed, freedom, and nobility, while the element of Fire adds passion and determination.

What can we expect in 2026?
• Speed and momentum: This is a year for those unafraid to take risks. Events will unfold rapidly — it’s important to “stay in the saddle”!
• Breakthroughs and innovation: Fire energy supports bold ideas, new technologies, and major career rises.
• Emotional intensity: Fire can be both creative and destructive. Astrologers advise staying calm and avoiding decisions made in the heat of the moment.

🍀 Who will be the luckiest?

The year will be especially favorable for Tigers, Dogs, and Goats, bringing them support and fresh opportunities.

For those born in the Year of the Horse, extra awareness is needed — this is a year of transformation and deep inner work.

May this year bring you unstoppable energy, success in your endeavors, and warmth in your home!

And don’t forget to wear something red today — for good luck! 🧧

Happy New Year! 新年快乐 (Xīnnián kuàilè)!

Valentine’s Day Through the Eyes of TCM: Love as the Energy of the Heart

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, love is not just an emotion.
It is a state of the Heart’s energy ❤️

In TCM, the Heart is not only the organ that pumps blood.
It is the home of Shen (the Spirit) — our joy, inner light, and our ability to feel closeness and warmth.

When the Heart’s energy is strong and harmonious:
• we open easily to others
• we feel inspired
• we experience tenderness
• we are able to love — and to receive love

But when the Heart is depleted by stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, or inner cold, love becomes more difficult:
• emotional withdrawal appears
• restlessness arises
• a sense of loneliness can be felt even when someone is near

💗 On this day, it is important to warm your Heart — not only with romance, but also with self-care.

Here is a small TCM-inspired ritual for February 14th:
• drink a warm tea with rose or hawthorn
• take a few calm breaths with your hand placed on your chest
• think of someone you feel grateful for
• and tell yourself: “My Heart is open to warmth.”

Love is energy.
And it begins within.

Happy Valentine’s Day — may your Heart be filled with light

Point of Power: Kidney 7 (KI7 – Fuliu)

Did you know that one small point on the leg can influence the energy of the entire body?

Today I want to share a true treasure of Chinese medicine — the acupuncture point Kidney 7, which is considered one of the most powerful points for restoring vital resources.

Where is it located?

On the inner side of the lower leg, slightly above the ankle.
The name Fuliu translates as “Returning Flow” — and this is very symbolic.

What does Kidney 7 do?

1. Strengthens Kidney Yang energy

When a person experiences:
• fatigue
• coldness in the body
• weakness in the lower back
• lack of strength in the morning

KI7 helps to “ignite the inner fire” and bring energy back.

2. Regulates fluids and swelling

This is one of the key points for working with:
• water retention
• swelling in the legs
• heaviness in the body
• sweating disorders

It is as if it “switches on the body’s proper drainage system.”

3. Helps with night sweating and internal heat

Kidney 7 balances Yin and Yang, so it is used for:
• night sweats
• sensations of heat in the palms and soles
• inner restlessness

4. Supports breathing

In Chinese medicine, the lungs and kidneys are closely connected.
KI7 is often used for:
• shortness of breath
• chronic cough
• asthma (as part of комплекс therapy)

5. Stabilizes the emotional state

The kidneys are considered the “root of life force” and deep inner confidence.
This point helps with:
• anxiety
• fears
• nervous system exhaustion
• emotional burnout

Why do I love this point so much?

Kidney 7 is a point that seems to tell the body:

“You are safe. You have strength. The flow is returning.”

Would you like to know if KI7 is right for you?

Write in the comments, and I will tell you about the possibilities of personal online diagnosis.

Do you know why I already congratulated you yesterday on the New Year? 😃

Because it turns out that the Chinese New Year is not just one single day, but an entire season. And even if the official date is February 17, we always remember the deeper and very important details.

In Chinese tradition, a holiday is not “one night” like December 31 — it is a transitional period that begins well in advance.

There is a special concept:

迎春 (yíng chūn) — “Welcoming Spring”

People begin wishing each other a Happy New Year even before the official first day, because the energy of the New Year is already approaching.

The energy of the year does not arrive on a calendar date — it comes through the solar terms.

In Chinese astrology, the year is connected not only to the lunar date, but also to the system of the 24 solar seasons (节气 jieqi).

One of the key moments is:

立春 (Lìchūn) — the Beginning of Spring

This usually falls between February 3–5.

And it is exactly from Lichun that many BaZi masters believe:
• energetically, the New Year has already begun.

So congratulating someone at this time is absolutely appropriate.

The Chinese start celebrating early (just like we do before Christmas).

Before the New Year, there are days of preparation:
• cleaning the home
• decorating
• first good wishes
• buying gifts
• tuning into a new cycle

So wishing someone in advance is a sign:

“I already feel the arrival of the New Year and I want to share this light with you.”

And the Fiery Horse is the energy of movement and an early start —
so we began together exactly during this period of the “small beginning of the New Year” 😍

And because last two days we were talking about my new course for cosmetic acupuncture - I thought today it was important to speak about this point.

The Secret "Youth Button": The Point Everyone Should Know

Have you ever heard of the San Yin Jiao point? In the East, it is said that if a woman gives this point attention every day, she simply doesn't age. And it’s not magic—it’s pure physiology!

How does it affect your beauty?
This point is the intersection of the liver, kidney, and spleen meridians. These specific organs are responsible for the state of our skin, the spark in our eyes, and the absence of puffiness.

Regular massage of San Yin Jiao helps to:
* Improve Complexion: Your skin looks more vibrant and healthy by boosting microcirculation.
* Enhance Elasticity: Stimulating this point supports hormonal balance, which directly impacts collagen production.
* Clear Impurities: It helps the body gently flush out toxins, reducing breakouts.
* Reduce Puffiness: It normalizes fluid exchange, making the contours of your face and body look sharper.

How to find it?

It's very simple:
* Place four fingers of your hand together on the inside of your ankle (starting just above the prominent ankle bone).
* Right above your top finger, behind the shinbone, you will feel a slight depression.
* When pressed, you might feel a slight sensitivity—that’s the sign you’ve hit the mark!

Your Beauty Ritual
* Massage the point with the pad of your thumb using circular motions.
* Spend 3–5 minutes on each leg before bed.
* Not only is this great for your skin, but it also helps you relax and improves sleep quality after a long day.
> Note: Massage of this point is not recommended during pregnancy.

Try incorporating this massage into your routine for just one week, and you’ll start to notice the change in your reflection!

Did you know that in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the face is seen as a map of the internal organs and energy channels?

What appears on the skin — redness, tension, breakouts, or puffiness — can often be a clue to what is happening deeper inside the body.

Today I would like to talk about the area between the eyebrows — a zone that Chinese medicine connects primarily with the liver and the movement of Qi energy.

If this area often shows:
• tension or the so-called “worry wrinkle”
• redness
• breakouts
• a feeling of pressure

this may indicate stagnation of liver energy, accumulated inner tension, irritability, or emotional overload.

In TCM, the liver is responsible not only for blood and detoxification, but also for the free flow of energy throughout the body.

When Qi becomes stagnant, it often shows up right here — on the face.

Acupuncture and gentle TCM techniques help restore harmony, improve energy circulation, and support natural beauty from within.

By the way, yesterday I wrote about my new aesthetic acupuncture course — you can find more details in my previous post.

I would be happy to hear your questions and observations.
Have you noticed any changes in this area?

08/02/2026

Tomorrow we will talk about what representing wrinkles in between eyebrows.
