Ki Point Acupuncture

Ahhhh… Spring is here… or is it? The weather (and the world) is a bit unstable these days as we move into Spring. In Eastern Medicine, Spring is represented by Wood, and it is the season of the Liver. It is a time when our Ki, or energy, moves outwards and upwards. While winter was a time for rest and storage, Spring is a time for activity and movement- for our Ki to move out into our tendons and muscles.

Particularly if we had a busy Winter, Spring is the time when problems start to show up, especially musculoskeletal issues such as low back pain, neck and shoulder stiffness, general muscle soreness, and tendonitis, as well as headaches, insomnia, hay fever, eye problems, depression, tiredness, and fatigue.

Gentle exercises and some extra sleep can be very beneficial at this time. In addition, acupuncture and moxibustion can help with these issues, as they serve to balance the body, promote health, and ward off disease (including muscle aches and pains).

It's getting cold outside... Eastern medicine teaches us to live in harmony with the seasons. Winter is considered Yin, which is cold, dark, and slow, and Yin energy moves inward. Thus, winter is a good time to slow down, stay warm, rest, reflect, and relax the body and mind. It’s the time to conserve and store our energy before Spring, when energy starts moving outwards. During the winter months, we should also eat foods that are more warming and nourishing, including soups, stews, broths, beans, garlic, ginger, and spices. Eat seasonal fruits and vegetables such as squashes, potatoes, root vegetables, apples, and pears, but avoid raw foods that can cool the body.

By harmonizing ourselves with the seasons, we can improve our health and prevent disease. Acupuncture and moxibustion can also help by strengthening the immune system to ward off or shorten the duration of illnesses. Acupuncture can help with chills and fever, sore throats, runny noses, headaches, fatigue, and aches and pains. Contact us for more information or to book an appointment.

It’s starting to feel like Autumn. In Eastern Medicine, the Lungs become dominant in the Autumn. This includes the throat, the nasal membranes, and the skin. As the temperature cools and the air becomes more crisp and dry, we’ll start to see more upper respiratory symptoms such as a runny nose, cough, and sore throat, as well as more skin problems. So, now is the time to strengthen your immune system with a relaxing ACUPUNCTURE TREATMENT!! (Trust us- it won't hurt!!) Book an appointment now at kipoint-acupuncture.com 😀
