Winter Foot Care Post (Minnesota-friendly!)

❄️ Cold weather = cold feet?
Women often experience poor circulation in the winter, which can cause:
• Numb toes
• Cold feet at night
• Cramping in the arches
• Soreness after walking on snow or ice

Acupuncture warms the channels, boosts circulation, and helps your feet feel alive again — even in Minnesota winters.

🧦 If your feet are freezing, stiff, or sore, let’s warm them up naturally.

🦵 Is knee pain slowing you down?
Whether it’s from old sports injuries, arthritis, overuse, or “just getting older,” acupuncture can make a huge difference.

Here’s how acupuncture supports knee health:
✔ Reduces inflammation
✔ Stimulates circulation to speed healing
✔ Loosens tight surrounding muscles
✔ Helps rebuild strength + stability
✔ Reduces swelling
✔ Improves mobility

Knee pain doesn’t have to be something you “just live with.”
Many patients notice relief in just a few sessions — especially when stiffness or pain is worse in the morning, cold weather, or after activity.

If your knees have been talking to you lately… let’s get you feeling better.
📩 Message me to schedule your knee-focused acupuncture treatment.

🌿 Active Acupuncture | Understanding Acne the Simple Way

Not all acne is the same — and knowing the type of breakout you’re dealing with can make treatment so much more effective.

The image above shows the two basic forms of comedonal acne, which is the foundation of many breakouts:

🟤 Open Comedone (Blackhead)

This happens when a pore gets clogged with oil + dead skin cells, but stays open at the surface.
The material inside oxidizes, turning dark — that's the “black” you see.

⚪ Closed Comedone (Whitehead)

This is when the pore gets clogged and stays closed at the top.
Oil and cells build up under the skin, creating that raised white bump.
🌱 How Active Acupuncture Helps

Acupuncture + Chinese herbal medicine can support acne by:
✔ Reducing inflammation
✔ Improving circulation to the skin
✔ Balancing hormones naturally
✔ Supporting healthy detox pathways
✔ Reducing stress triggers
✔ Improving digestion (a HUGE acne factor in TCM!)

I also help patients choose noncomedogenic products so pores stay clear and healing begins.

If you're struggling with breakouts — whether hormonal, stress-related, or chronic — I can help you create a targeted, gentle plan that supports the skin from the inside out.

🌿 Active Acupuncture | Two Herbs, One Tree

Most people are surprised to learn that two of our most commonly used warming herbs both come from the same cinnamon tree — but they behave very differently in the body.

The image above shows exactly how that works 👇

🍃 Gui Zhi — Cinnamon Twig

Harvested from the young branches, Gui Zhi is light, gentle, and moves outward.
It’s used for:
💨 Early cold symptoms (chills, stiff neck, feeling like you’re getting sick)
💨 Wind-Cold invasions
💨 Balancing your protective + nourishing Qi
💨 Mild cold causing muscle tightness

🌿 Rou Gui — Cinnamon Bark

Taken from the inner bark of the mature trunk, Rou Gui is deeper, hotter, and more tonifying.
It’s used for:
🔥 Cold hands and feet
🔥 Chronic low back cold/ache
🔥 Low Kidney Yang
🔥 Needing stronger internal warmth or “pilot light”

Even though both come from the Cinnamomum cassia tree, they support the body in completely different ways — this is the beauty and precision of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Your body tells us which one you need.
If you’d like to explore warming herbs this season or get support for Wind-Cold, fatigue, or cold-type patterns, I’d love to help at Active Acupuncture.

🌬️ Breathe Easier, Glow Brighter 🌸

See those two little points by the nose? That’s LI20 — “Welcome Fragrance.”
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these points help open the sinuses, clear congestion, and refresh your energy.

They’re also part of my favorite facial rejuvenation routine — improving circulation, softening lines, and helping your face “breathe” again.

💨 When you open the nose, you open the lungs.
💗 When you open the lungs, you release old emotions — grief, tension, fatigue — and invite in new energy.

✨ Sometimes, healing starts with just one breath.

Tongue and symptoms can direct you to proper TCM formula.

According to TCM, oatmeal is great for slow-burning energy — but when you add protein and creatine right into it, you turn it from a carb-heavy breakfast into a muscle-fueling powerhouse. Protein shakes cold introduce cold to slow digestion to creates a sluggish stomach.

💪 1. Better Muscle Recovery & Tone
When you eat protein and creatine together with carbs (like oats), your muscles absorb them more efficiently.
• The carbs spike insulin slightly — helping creatine enter your muscle cells faster.
• The added protein provides amino acids to repair and build muscle after workouts.
This combination is especially key for women over 45 who naturally lose muscle mass with age.

⚡ 2. Stable Blood Sugar & Energy
Blending protein and creatine into warm oats slows down how quickly the carbs digest.
→ Result: No mid-morning crash, steadier energy, and fewer cravings.

🧠 3. Brain & Mood Boost
Creatine supports brain energy, focus, and even mood — not just gym gains. Having it with breakfast helps you start the day mentally sharper and emotionally balanced.

🥣 4. Warm Meals = Better Digestion
Cold shakes can feel heavy or “shock” the digestion, especially for women with slower metabolism or spleen Qi deficiency in TCM terms. Warm, cooked food is gentler on digestion and energy flow, helping nutrients absorb more completely.

🔥 5. Keeps You Fuller Longer
Adding protein powder to oatmeal creates a thick, satisfying meal that fuels you for hours — unlike a liquid shake that’s digested in minutes.
