There’s a lot of talk about dry needling right now in the sports world—and not for a good reason! At Radiant Sun, we never dry needle, meaning we safely use acupuncture needles following Traditional Chinese Medicine principles with the appropriate level of training. (Which is a lot!)

In fact, dry needling as it's being discussed lately is in many ways the opposite of acupuncture. TCM (what we practice) follows a deep understanding of how acupuncture affects your whole body, and your acupuncturist has years of acupuncture-specific education and is licensed in how to follow TCM principles.

You can read all about the difference between non-TCM dry needling and acupuncture on our blog:

What is dry needling? It’s similar to acupuncture in that it uses needles to address pain points in the body. But that’s where the similarities end. Let’s take a look at important differences—and a word of caution.

The air is cold, the days are short and nature is reminding us to slow down. 🍂

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this time of year marks the shift from outward, active Yang energy to inward, restorative Yin energy. Which means it’s time to support your body with warming, nourishing foods that help it adjust to the season. Think: oats, carrots, leeks, and a little ginger or cinnamon to keep the chill away.

A quick and easy snack to kick off fall—sesame seed balls! Sesame seeds are packed with nutrients that support the liver and kidneys. They also improve skin, hair and bone health, strengthen Yin and help counteract fall’s dryness.

We’ll be snacking today. 😋 Let us know what you think!

INGREDIENTS
2 cups white sesame seeds
2 tablespoons melted butter
¼ cup of honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

RECIPE
• Dry roast the sesame seeds until you can smell them, but be careful not to burn them.
• Grind them as finely as possible, then stir in the other ingredients and press them together.
• Let the mixture cool and harden.
• Wet your hands and shape the mixture into marble-sized balls and they’re ready to serve.

Let us know if you try them!
