Seasonal Transitions, Stay Balanced This Summer
Acupuncture is a great way to help ease into the next season as well as keep us balanced throughout transitions. In addition to acupuncture, Chinese medicine also uses food therapy to keep elements in balance. The heat of summer can be taxing on our body fluids, so eating cooling and moistening foods is important. Digestion can also become sluggish with the damp heat of summer, so eating smaller and lighter meals can help keep it running at its best.
Acupuncture for Anxiety
Did you know that May is National Mental Health Awareness Month? There is increasing public awareness around many mental health conditions and ways they can be helped. Acupuncture has a long history of being used to treat mental health conditions. Current research has demonstrated that anxiety, one very common mental health concern, can benefit from acupuncture.
