As we move into fall, it's important to recognize the transitions taking place in nature. Chinese emphasizes the interconnection between nature and humans. Ancient Chinese texts advise that observing nature can guide our behavior and mindset

Emotionally, the season is linked to sadness and grief, and as fall approaches, we may find ourselves experiencing these emotions more intensely.

It's important to allow yourself to process these emotions but also to let go and move forward without forgetting. Taking time to acknowledge and release these emotions is essential.

If you find it challenging to let go of summer and embrace fall, this would be a good time to book your acupuncture treatment at Gathered Roots Community Acupuncture clinic.

What we should do moving to fall:🤔

▶️ As we move into fall, it's important to recognize the transitions taking place in nature. Chinese Medicine emphasizes the
▶️ interconnection between nature and humans, and observing nature can guide our behavior and mindset.

✅️ For instance, during fall, trees shed their leaves as they die, symbolizing the act of letting go. To thrive, the trees must release the old leaves to make room for new growth in the spring.

✅️ Similarly, letting go of what no longer serves us creates space for new opportunities. 👍

▶️ Acupuncture as a treatment for infertility shows great results both in men and women.

✅️Acupuncture can be considered a successful treatment in restoring fertility in patients by improving s***m quality and ovaries function and balancing the endocrine system and hormones.

👍As you know, the province just released details about their publicly funded IVF program, and started to accept applications, starting July 2, 2025, so as always, we are here to support you during this long journey and make it a little easier for you.

✅️Women are often advised to start acupuncture 3 months before they start treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI).

▶️Early pregnancy is an amazing time filled with great transformation. However, it can also be a time of difficult challenges for a new mother if she has issues like: morning sickness, exhaustion, anxiety, and stress, threatened miscarriage.
Acupuncture can help support women through their pregnancy by easing the symptoms and strengthening the newly pregnant mother as she transitions through this period.👌

▶️Around 36 weeks of pregnancy, we start preparing for labor👍

✅️It is recommended to come in for a few sessions before your due date for "cervical ripening," in which acupuncture points are selected to help prep the body for labor.

✅️However, as llabor approaches, there are a few specific acupuncture techniques that can be done in cases of malpresentation and breech baby, and induction if the baby is overdue.

✅️If your baby is breech, you should begin treatments as soon as possible.👍
✅️The ideal time to start is 33-34 weeks or before.
✅️If you are past that now, start treatment as soon as you find out that your baby is not in the right position.
Though starting treatment earlier is best, it is never too late, and you can begin treatments right away. 😍👍

▶️We work to turn a breech baby in traditional Chinese medicine by encouraging fetal movement with moxibustion. Often, we add acupuncture as well.
▶️The heat from burning moxa sticks stimulates the baby to move. This encourages it to turn. The moxa sticks contain processed leaves of the mugwort plant.
▶️Acupuncture is effective in combination with moxibustion.

✅️A randomized controlled trial indicates that approximately 70% of breech babies will turn using this method.👍

✅️You need treatments daily until the baby turns, but you can receive acupuncture and moxibustion treatment twice a week at the clinic and do moxibustion at home for the days you are not booked in. We will show you how. It is relaxing and easy to do.

✅️book your appointment today if your baby is not head down yet!😍

How does rejuvenation facial acupuncture work?🤔

✅️ Facial acupuncture can increase local collagen production, which fills in fine lines.

✅️ The inserted needles also improve blood circulation, allowing for better delivery of nutrients to the face and elimination of water and toxins away from the face.

✅️ While the bony structure of the face is not changed, relaxing tight muscles and improving the tone of weak muscles causes the soft structure and shape of the face to be altered.

▶️ Some of the benefits of facial rejuvenation include:

✔️an improvement in the firmness and moisture of the skin; 👍

✔️a tightening of the pores; 👌

✔️a reduction in dark circles or puffiness under the eyes; 😀

✔️a lifting of sagging skin, double chins, and drooping eyelids; 😃

✔️and a healthy, glowing complexion.🥰
