When people think of chemotherapy, they often picture a difficult but necessary journey—one that saves lives, but takes a toll on the body.

Hair loss, nausea, fatigue, anxiety, neuropathy—these are more than side effects. They’re daily realities that can feel overwhelming for patients already carrying the emotional weight of a cancer diagnosis.

But what if healing didn’t have to feel so isolating?

What if another layer of care could help soften the experience, support the body through treatment, and even improve the outcome?

More and more, acupuncture is becoming a trusted part of modern cancer protocols. Not as an “alternative,” but as an integrative partner in care.

Pregnancy is often described as a time of joy and anticipation. But for some women, the journey is interrupted by complications like preeclampsia, a potentially serious condition that can place both mother and baby at risk.

Preeclampsia typically develops after 20 weeks of pregnancy and is characterized by high blood pressure, protein in the urine, swelling, headaches, and sometimes visual disturbances. It can progress quickly and requires close medical supervision.

While Western medicine focuses on managing symptoms and monitoring risk, Chinese medicine offers gentle, complementary support, helping regulate the body’s internal systems, promote circulation, and ease the physical and emotional stress of a high-risk pregnancy.

As summer fades and the crisp air of fall arrives, our bodies naturally begin to shift. In Chinese medicine, fall is more than a change in weather—it’s a season of letting go, grounding, and preparing for the stillness of winter.

Fall is associated with the Lungs and Large Intestine, the organs responsible for breathing in what we need and releasing what we don’t—physically, emotionally, and energetically. It’s a time to clear out stagnation, strengthen immunity, and create space for clarity and renewal.

How Acupuncture Supports You in the Fall

Acupuncture during the fall season focuses on:

✔️Boosting Lung qi to support immune health
✔️Improving digestion and elimination
✔️Releasing tension, sadness, or emotional heaviness
✔️Promoting balance during seasonal transitions

If you're feeling congested, heavy, emotionally drained, or simply out of sync, acupuncture can help bring you back to center—so you move into the new season with more ease and energy.

Food as Medicine: 6 Foods Your Acupuncturist Recommends

Because sometimes the best medicine is already in your kitchen.

At our acupuncture clinic, we often say, “Let food be your first medicine.”

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), what you eat is just as important as how you treat your body. Certain foods nourish specific organs, balance energy (Qi), and support your body’s natural healing.

Here are six foods your acupuncturist may recommend—not just because they’re healthy, but because they act like medicine.

Ginger – The Qi Mover

Ginger is warming, aromatic, and known in TCM to stimulate digestion and circulation. If you’re experiencing bloating, cold hands and feet, or nausea, ginger can help move stagnant Qi and warm the interior. Try fresh ginger tea or add it to your cooking for both flavor and therapeutic effect.
