✨ December in TCM: Rest • Reflect • Restore ✨
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, December marks the deepest part of Winter — a season connected to the Kidneys, our root system and source of foundational energy (Jing).
This is the time of year to slow down, nourish deeply, and protect your reserves so your body can rise strong in the new year.
Winter invites us to lean into quiet, warmth, and steady restoration.
Small shifts in your daily routine can help support immunity, hormone balance, stress, sleep, and overall vitality.
Here are a few of my favorite TCM-inspired ways to care for yourself this month:
🔥 Warm your core — protect the low back + abdomen to support Kidney Yang
🍵 Sip warming tonics — ginger, cinnamon, clove, bone broth, jujube + goji
🌙 Prioritize rest — earlier bedtimes, slower mornings, intentional downtime
🥬 Nourish with whole foods — black sesame, walnuts, leafy greens, sweet potato
🪷 Schedule your Winter Acupuncture Reset — boost immunity, calm the nervous system, support adrenal health, and release seasonal tension
Winter is not a season of depletion —
it’s a season of building, conserving, and protecting your inner light. ✨
