As we age the fluid levels in our bodies begin to decline and women specifically feel these effects. Like a pot of boiling water, we balance a source of heat and fluids to stay at a steady temperature. Every woman is different but when a woman's hormones decrease, they could potentially develop uncomfortable hot flashes and night sweats. The good news? Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help!

Pain in the jaw can be such a pain in the rump. Tempo-mandibular joint pain is often not a problem so much with the joint but more in how the muscles and tendons are acting on the jaw. This can cause discomfort, from mild to excruciating, when chewing, talking, sleeping or even when you're not doing anything at all. Acupuncture can be an excellent way to relieve this pain in just few treatments.

All people suffering through this new year need support and that definitely includes the ICU and ER staff at our local hospitals and urgent care centers. One of the ways New Hope OM likes to help support our community is by offering the NADA protocol. This 15-minute session can be used alone or in conjunction with more thorough acupuncture sessions and Chinese herbal medicine to detoxify, reduce stress, sleep more soundly, relieve pain and so much more.

Lee has a passion for Chinese medicine; tries to live and embody it in his own life and his practice.​​​​​​​​

LF: "I have always loved many different foods for as long as I can remember. Whenever I am not quite myself, feeling run down or come down with the occasional bug, I turn to soups and stews, broths and braises."​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
According to Chinese medicine, cauliflower is sweet in taste, neutral in temperature and enters the Spleen, Kidney and Stomach channels. These qualities strengthen the body and lubricate the intestines. When soup is very easily digestible, it can help with the debilitated and weak feeling after a bad cold or flu.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Roasted Cauliflower Soup​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
1 head cauliflower ​​​​​​​​
1 medium onion, diced ​​​​​​​​
1 fennel bulb, diced (optional)​​​​​​​​
1 TBSP Minced Garlic​​​​​​​​
4-5 cups broth (vegetable or chicken)​​​​​​​​
1 Tsp ground cumin (optional)​​​​​​​​
1 tsp curry powder (optional)​​​​​​​​
Salt and pepper to taste​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut up cauliflower and toss with oil, salt, pepper. Roast for 30-45 minutes stirring halfway. Meanwhile, sauté over medium-high heat the onion, garlic, and fennel until soft and translucent then add the curry powder and cumin. Deglaze with a little water or broth and then add the rest of the broth to the pot. Add cauliflower and cover. Cook over medium heat until everything is soft, about 15-20 minutes. Mash for a more rustic feel or blend until smooth for a creamier finish. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

Another testimonial Tuesday! We love hearing from our clients about their first experiences, their progress along their journey and sharing the results they are seeing.

Thankfully we are coming out of the winter and beginning spring! Many of us caught something nasty this cold season but there are many things we can do at home to repair and recuperate. ​​​​​​​​
• Soups and easily digestible stews are great way to replenish ourselves of lost nutrients. ​​​​​​​​
• Deep, slow, smooth abdominal breathing can bring us the much needed peace to rebuild our energy. ​​​​​​​​
• Self massage can open the channels, move lymph and recirculate blood to clean and regenerate our bodies.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Of course Chinese medicine including acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can help too but the transition out of a cold or flu or into the new spring season with ease can start in your own home.​​​​​​​​

BTW Happy International Day of Happiness
