In Chinese medicine, there are many aspects to seasonal observation. In the West, we have solstices and equinox to mark the lunar periods. Ancient China also has a complex lunar calendar, but another layer as well: the solar nodes. Every two weeks, there is a new solar node. Within each node, there is an ideal activity, specific plants to harvest, festivals, foods to eat, and exercises to help guide you through the year with ease.
We just began the first solar node of the year: Li Chun, or Spring Begins. This is the most festive time of year, and I suppose that helps transition us out of the winter doldrums and prepare us for the glory of spring. Eat dandelion greens, watercress, spinach, and chickweed.
It is a time to renew relationships, for we will surely need that to help us in the coming year.
This is the time of year for hope and dreams, and is a great time to pursue your visions and projects. But don’t move too fast! You need to pace yourself and conserve your energy for the bright spring and summer ahead!

One of my favorite tools to pair with acupuncture.
Molecular hydrogen (H₂) is a selective, body-wide antioxidant that helps neutralize inflammatory free radicals at the cellular level without disrupting the signals your body actually needs to heal.
Because hydrogen molecules are so small, they can cross the blood-brain barrier, enter mitochondria, and reach tissues acupuncture alone can’t physically access. The result?� Reduced systemic inflammation�, improved cellular energy�, calmer nervous system signaling�, faster recovery and deeper healing.
When combined with acupuncture, hydrogen therapy helps extend and amplify the treatment effect, supporting circulation, lowering inflammatory load, and giving your body a cleaner internal environment to repair itself.
Ancient wisdom meets modern science�This is how we treat the root, not just the symptoms.

Hi, I’m Ursa
�Doctor of Classical Chinese Medicine, licensed acupuncturist, and the only licensed herbalist in Athens and Pickerington.

I completed a 5-year doctoral program in Classical Chinese Medicine, studied Daoist medicine in China multiple times, and hold an undergraduate degree in molecular biology, because I’ve always believed the future of medicine lives at the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern science.

I specialize in difficult-to-treat conditions, the ones that don’t respond well to conventional approaches or have been labeled “chronic” or “incurable.”

In the clinic, I blend time-tested techniques with cutting-edge technology, including:� Acupuncture & classical herbal medicine, PEMF, Molecular hydrogen, and Frequency-specific microcurrent

My goal is simple: help your body do what it was designed to do: heal.

Welcome to Athena.

New Blog Post! https://www.athenaacupuncture.com/blog-posts/my-migraine-protocol

Migraines are trying to tell you something.

Masking the symptoms doesn’t treat the cause, it just silences the signal.
Let me help you listen to your body and give it what it’s been asking for.

Chenpi ends up in so many of my patients’ formulations. It is the perfect herb for so many modern patterns of illness. In Chinese medicine terms, we use it for conditions where there is dampness, stagnation, and phlegm/mucus. In western terms, it is especially useful for cortisol regulation, visceral fat accumulation, and slow metabolism.
