Acupuncture Wrapped: An overview of some of the most exciting discoveries in 2020

As we enter a new year, it is natural to want to look back on the last one. As humans, we have the gift and the hurdle of marking time, so it can feel helpful to recall memories we want to hold on to or look for lessons we can take with us.  

To that end, here are three categories in which research into the type, application and efficacy of acupuncture saw significant advancements in 2020, findings that will certainly help guide us as we move forward. In a year that saw so much focus on our health, these findings offer some good news in the fields of pain management without opioids, migraine headaches, and insight into why it is that acupuncture is effective as an anti-inflammatory.  continue reading »

Intention setting in the new year

Intention setting in the new year

It’s that time of year again: the time when many of us engage in the practice of setting a new year’s resolution.

It seems, though, that hand-in-hand with new year’s resolutions is the prediction of inevitable failure. That as soon as you pick a resolution, you won’t actually make it through the whole year sticking with the new behavior, or that by the third week of January the resolution will be out of sight, out of mind. So, I wanted to offer some tips on how to join in the tradition in a way that might foster more success, by incorporating some wisdom from traditional Chinese medicine. continue reading »

Acupressure point Kidney 27 Spirit Storehouse

kidney acupuncture point #27The Acupuncture point Kidney 27 also known as Sprit Storehouse.

Location: On the chest, in the small depression just below the sternal head of the clavicle, 2″ lateral to the midline.

Physical Uses:  Helps with cough, panting, chest pain, asthma, and spleen and stomach disharmony with hiccough, reflux, or nausea.  It is also a great point to boost your immune system, and your inner strength to overcome illness or conflict.

Spiritual-Emotional Uses:  When feeling overwhelmed, depressed, depleted, and as if your spirit is hidden, and needs replenishing.  This point is often used in the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) by tapping just below your collar bone.

It revitalizes your spirit, and brings it forth from the depths of despair.

Gently Tap this point with the tips of your index and middle fingers bilaterally 10-20 times, and repeat as needed.

Winter and your Kidneys

Winter and your Kidneys

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, health is achieved by living in balance with nature and the seasons. Winter, the season of the Water Element, is the season for slowing down, reflecting, and conserving our resources. We all feel this tendency, but we don’t always listen to our bodies.  In Western culture, being active is rewarded and expected. We feel compelled to keep up the hectic pace that is typical in our daily lives.

This season is associated with the kidneys, bladder, and adrenal glands and the time of year when these organs are most active, accessible, and even vulnerable. They are more receptive to being restored, nurtured, and energized. At the same time, it is also when they can become easily depleted. continue reading »
