🧣Public service announcement: wear a scarf!
Take it from me- your friendly Jewish mother acupuncturist- wind enters the body through points on the back of the neck. If your immune system is less than perfectly robust, this simple step helps keep you well.
💨 Like we say in Chinese Medicine: “wind causes the hundred diseases”. No- you will not get a hundred diseases. We just want to help protect you against one- colds and flu.
Chinese medicine filled with common sense advice like this.
Stay healthy friends!
🤒 And if you’re catching a cold- call us! We can help.

This Thanksgiving, swap out the boring, sugar-filled canned cranberry sauce for a heart-healthy, flavorful alternative: Cara’s Cranberry-Hawthorn Sauce.

Why hawthorn berries?
Hawthorn berries are a traditional heart tonic, packed with flavonoids and Vitamin C. They can:
❤️ Lower blood lipids naturally
❤️ Improve coronary circulation and dilate arteries
❤️ Support healthy heart contractions

Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh cranberries
- 1 cup dried hawthorn berries (Shan Zha / Crataegus fruit)
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup water
- 2 tbsp grated orange rind
- ½ cup diced candied ginger (optional)

Optional: spice things up with warming herbs like cinnamon 🌿

This sauce is tangy, sweet, and nourishing, the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table. 🌾

For the full step-by-step recipe, check out our blog at sixfishes.com

Over the past few months, SNAP benefits have been reduced or cut off for thousands of families here in Philly leaving many without the support they depend on to put food on the table.

At Six Fishes, we believe in the power of community care and collective action. As acupuncturists and healers, our work extends beyond our clinic walls. It’s about supporting the wellbeing of our neighbors, especially those who are struggling to meet their basic needs.

💛 We’re joining forces to help fill a truckload of food for Philadelphia families facing food insecurity this winter. Every donation helps no matter the size.

You can Donate here or via link in bio: sharingexcess.donorsupport.co/-/NKNUZMTM?member=SEZTLRLS

Help Six Fishes Fill a Food Truck! We're nearly halfway to our goal of $1300- enough to fill an entire truck!

We created a fundraiser with Sharing Excess- a non-profit that reduces food waste and shares food and then uses the food to provide nourishing food for those in need.

Any donation is welcome and thank you so much.

Six Fishes is raising money to sponsor a truckload of food for families who will be affected by the upcoming SNAP cuts. Please donate today to show your support! You can show proof of your donation at either of our locations to receive a free Emily's Skin Soother salve.

🐶 The Dog Days of Summer are approaching — which means San Fu Moxa is almost here!
This powerful seasonal treatment, rooted in classical Chinese herbal medicine, helps strengthen your immune system, support lung health, and prevent cold-weather illness.

In Chinese medicine, prevention is key, which is why we begin preparing now—during the hottest days of summer, when the body's Yang energy is most accessible.

📆 San Fu Moxa Dates:
• July 20
• July 30
• August 9
For best results, we recommend attending all three sessions to build lasting immunity.

📞 Call us at (215) 772-1040 or book online through our Jane portal (link in bio).

Let nature do the heavy lifting. Your winter self will thank you. 💛
