Burnout is something that I see often in the clinic. Since covid times I see it, not just in healthcare workers, teachers, parents, but also more broadly in society.

In Chinese medicine, when our life demands (whether physical or psychological) exceed our resources, we end up feeling burnt out.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can support a dysregulated nervous system and help you to rebuild a level of stability. As someone who worked as a travel nurse during Covid, I can't tell you how important regular acupuncture was for me as I was recovering from seeing so much loss on a daily basis.

If you need support, give us a call at (859) 287-1097 or visit our website, unwindacupuncture.com.

Did you know that Chinese medicine can help with seasonal allergies?

At Unwind Acupuncture we offer several techniques to help quell allergy symptoms for seasonal suffers.

With standard acupuncture and herbal medicine, treatment can help to decrease inflammation and open the airways to ease symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes and congestion.

We also offer a more targeted allergy technique called Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT) which helps to decrease allergy symptoms to specifically identified triggers. Our practitioner trained with Dr. Soliman himself back in 2025 and has employed this technique to assist patients with food, environmental and other allergens. This technique is most commonly known to help patients suffering with Alpha Gal Syndrome (AGS), which is a tick bite induced allergy to mammalian proteins (i.e. red meat and dairy).

If you want to learn more about either method of treatment, visit our website, unwindacupuncture.com, or call (859) 287-1097.

When you see an acupuncturist, they will ask about your diet, sleep, bowel habits, stress, emotions, and more. We conceptualize your health and illness according to the unique principles of our medicine. Through pattern differentiation, we diagnose based on acupuncture channel pathology and physiology.

Think of acupuncture channels as highways and roadways throughout your body. When they move smoothly, we feel well. Traffic jams in certain areas cause broader disruptions than just the impacted road. In the body, if an acupuncture channel or organ is dysfunctional, we seek to support it and course correct.

We don't see your body as separate systems (e.g., gastroenterology, neurology, cardiology). Our whole body is meant to engage in an integrated conversation where all parts actively engage and fulfill specific jobs.

If your body feels out of balance, visit unwindacupuncture.com or call us at (859) 287-1097 to book an appointment.

PSA: Period pain is not normal. Full stop.

In Chinese medicine, the menstrual cycle is a vital part of assessing a woman's health. It tells us how well energy (qi) and blood are moving in the body and whether excess heat or cold is present. When we normalize stabbing cramps, bleeding through pads, premenstrual acne, headaches or becoming a grouchy monster once a month, we perpetuate women ignoring or failing to tune into key data indicating they are out of balance.

Through acupuncture and herbal medicine, we work to smooth out the irregularities in a woman's cycle. This is important not only if you're trying to conceive, but also if you're postpartum or even approaching menopause or perimenopause. A well functioning cycle signifies better overall health and a more balanced hormone profile.

If you'd like to dive into fine-tuning your cycles, visit our website, unwindacupuncture.com, or call us at (859) 287-1097 to book.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. This diagnosis affects women of every race and these individuals often spend years dealing with chronic pain before receiving answers.

Endometriosis refers to a condition in which tissue similar to the endometrial lining grows outside the uterus. This can cause a wide array of symptoms, ranging from menstrual to digestive (and beyond), as the tissue can tether certain body structures abnormally. These women deal with painful and sometimes debilitating menstrual periods.

Chinese medicine has long understood the pain and pathology conveyed by endometriosis warriors, namely calling it qi and blood stagnation. Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, adjunct techniques and diet/lifestyle tweaks, we have many tools to support these patients. It is not normal to have period pain or miss days of work or fun because of your cycle.

If you’re struggling, visit our website, unwindacupuncture.com, or give us a call (859) 287-1097 to book.

This time of year -- the transition between the cold Winter and warmer Spring -- I tend to see an uptick in patients coming in with tremors, eye or facial twitching, headaches, coughs and colds.

As the weather warms up, we're tempted to go outside, often underdressed, and almost never wearing a collar or scarf to protect our necks. In Chinese medicine, many of the acupuncture points located on the back of the head, neck and upper back, deal with "wind."

When these points are stimulated and wind disrupts the body, it can trigger our immune and nervous systems, leading to the above symptoms and several patterns recognized in our Chinese medicine paradigm.

If you notice these symptoms, wear a scarf before heading out next time, and observe how things change. If you're still struggling, visit unwindacupuncture.com or call (859) 287-1097 to book.

In traditional Chinese medicine, wind is considered the "cause of 100 diseases." While the concept that something as banal as wind could cause colds, flus, respiratory illnesses, tremors, dizziness and vertigo seems unlikely, modern science may support this notion.

Several studies connect certain climates with the incidence of certain diseases.

We now understand that wind can impact our immune system by compromising mucus membranes—a barrier needed to catch pathogens—and by affecting T-cell activation. We know that wind also carries things like dust, pollen and pollutants, which have their own effects on our health. Combined with cold it can downregulate the innate immune system's response.

Understanding that wind can contribute to illness and pathology is one of the many pieces of wisdom that Chinese medicine gleaned thousands of years ago -- long before microscopes, lab analysis, or other forms of modern medical diagnostics were available.

Life can tempt you to move too fast. You overcommit… you say yes when you wanted to say no… you schedule yourself for tasks and responsibilities every waking hour of the day… Eventually, the wheels fall off.

Humans are not machines and in a high paced, tech driven world, we face a lot of pressure to do and be more than is healthily possible.

Feeling “wired and tired” is a very common complaint patients report.

Your body is exhausted, but your nervous system can’t shut off. This often shows up as trouble sleeping, anxiety, racing thoughts, or relying on caffeine to function.

In Chinese medicine, this reflects depletion paired with overactivation and appears as various patterns in our diagnostic paradigm. Acupuncture helps calm the nervous system while replenishing what’s been overdrawn, allowing true rest instead of forced shutdown.

Exhausted but can’t rest? Your nervous system needs support. Visit our website, unwindacupuncture.com, or call (859) 287-1097 to book.
