Eastern and Western Views of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Chinese medicine is one of the oldest forms of healthcare and sees that everything is connected: our environment, body, mind and spirit. Acupuncture causes physical responses and positively affects blood pressure, body temperature, immune activity and causes the release of endorphins - the body’s natural painkillers.
Living with the Seasons: Winter
Winter is a time to retreat and replenish your resources. In Chinese medicine, the winter is associated with the Kidneys, Adrenals and Bladder which regulate fluid metabolism, bone health, reproduction, and endocrine system. They also store our constitutional essence, and by strengthening the kidneys, we help protect and maintain our health throughout the entire year.
