We hope you had a restful holiday💌

This season can feel tender for many, whether it’s family dynamics, expectations, or simply the shorter days. If your body feels drained from the extra output, it may be asking for a reset.

Winter treatments like acupuncture or massage focus on warmth, restoration, and strengthening the body’s core energy. This support can ease seasonal aches, encourage deeper sleep, steady digestion, and bolster immunity when cold weather takes a toll.

This is the time of year to tend the root so the whole system can find its strength again. If your body is asking for that kind of care, we’d love to support you.

In Chinese Medicine, cold slows the movement of Qi, which can leave the body feeling heavy, tense, or sluggish. Warming herbs help re-ignite that internal heat so the system can move more freely and feel more at ease.

One of the simplest ways to warm up in the colder months is with warming herbs.

Cinnamon offers support for circulation, digestion, and overall vitality, especially when temperatures drop.

Happy Winter Solstice! 🌓

Today marks the turning point... the moment when the deepest yin begins its slow transformation back toward light.

In Chinese Medicine, this is a time of reflection and renewal. A chance to nourish what you want to grow and soften what you’re ready to release.

Power of Stillness 🧘‍♀️

When things slow down, your system has a chance to recalibrate, release tension, and rebuild steadiness from the inside out. This season is less about doing and more about giving your energy the space it needs to settle.

If you’re feeling the pull to slow down but not sure how to support that shift, we’re here to help you move into the season with more ease.

As the days shorten, the body shifts into a quieter rhythm ⏳

The nervous system responds to this change by settling, softening, and looking for steady ground.

Acupuncture supports this shift by guiding the system out of urgency and back into a more restful state.

If your body feels stretched or overcharged, come in and let us help you return to center.

Winter belongs to the Kidneys 🫘

They are the root of our vitality, reserves, and longevity.

When Kidney Qi is supported, the body feels grounded, warm, and resilient.�When it’s depleted, you may notice fatigue, cold hands and feet, lower-back tightness, or difficulty concentrating.

Here are some ways to support your kidney vitality:

• Warm your core daily with a heating pad or warm bath
• Choose slow-cooked, mineral-rich foods like soups, beans, mushrooms, and seaweed.
• Sip warm water or ginger tea instead of cold drinks to protect digestive fire.
• Go to bed earlier
• Keep your lower back warm
• Create pockets of stillness

Winter is the deepest expression of yin.��The body is naturally turning inward, slowing its pace, and asking for restoration over output.

This is the season to protect your energy rather than spend it… More warmth, more rest, more nourishment and small rituals that help your system rebuild what the year required.

When you honor the season, the body responds with steadiness.

If your system could use support settling into this rhythm, we’d love to care for you this winter. Come in to see one of our practitioners for your winter wellness needs 💙

Winter is coming... ❄️

Winter belongs to the Water element: deep, reflective, and still.

It’s the body’s season of restoration, where rest becomes the foundation for growth ahead.

Now is the time to build reserves: early nights, warm foods, gentle movement, and quiet care for the Kidneys which are your source of endurance and willpower.

Move with nature’s rhythm. Conserve what’s essential. Trust the stillness 💙

As we near Thanksgiving on Thursday, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect on gratitude 💛

In Chinese Medicine, gratitude opens the Heart and softens the Lungs; the organs of connection, breath, and release.

It transforms grief into appreciation, and tension into flow.

This season, let gratitude be more than a thought.
Let it live in your breath, your meals, and your moments with others.

Each expression of thanks nourishes both body and spirit.
And that gentle warmth you feel? That’s Qi, moving again.

Does anything bring a sense of warmth and calm like a cup of ginger tea?

Fresh ginger, Sheng Jiang, warms the middle and harmonizes the stomach. It moves Qi, dispels cold, and soothes what feels unsettled.

A few slices steeped in hot water create a simple, potent medicine that awakens warmth from within.

When life feels heavy or chilled, reach for this root 🫖

Nature slows in late fall, and so should we.

Rest restores the Yin-- the quiet, cooling energy that refills what’s been spent.

Let your evenings stretch longer. Let sleep be sacred again.

Massage and acupuncture can help the body surrender into that rest, softening the nervous system so real replenishment can happen 🌙

11/14/2025

Qi is your life’s current; subtle, vital, always moving 🌀

When it feels low, your body might whisper through fatigue, chill, or sluggishness.

Kindling your Qi isn’t about pushing harder; it’s about inviting warmth back in.

Practices like cupping, moxibustion, and an acupuncture tune-up to reignite that spark 🕯️
