🌺 Endometriosis & Chinese Medicine

In Western medicine, endometriosis is defined as endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus — often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or in the abdominal cavity. This tissue still responds to hormones, causing painful periods, cramping, and sometimes infertility due to scar tissue formation.

From a TCM perspective, endometriosis often reflects a deeper Kidney Essence Deficiency, combined with Blood Stasis, Cold, or Damp-Heat, depending on the patient's full pattern picture.

⚖️ Common Patterns & Treatment Approaches:
Excess pattern:
🔹 Use Seven Star on BL 32, BL 17, and SP 10
🔹 Apply cupping therapy along the whole back to move Blood and clear stasis

Always assess for contributing factors:
➤ KD Xu
➤ Cold invasion
➤ Emotional stagnation

💡 As always, diagnosis must guide treatment. The goal? Regulate me**es, stop pain, and support fertility by harmonizing the Chong & Ren.

Did you know that in Traditional Chinese Medicine, your feet are deeply connected to your womb? 🌿 The kidney meridian an energy pathway vital for fertility runs from the soles of your feet 👣 all the way to your uterus.

Here’s the catch: when your feet are exposed to cold (walking barefoot on chilly floors 🧊 or wearing flip-flops in winter 🩴), that cold can travel up the channel, creating what’s known as a “cold womb.”

💭 Why does this matter?
A cold womb can reduce blood flow and energy flow to uterus, which can lead to stuck or stagnant energy or blood flow-, potentially affecting fertility and overall reproductive health. This may cause things like increase in period pain or menstrual clots.

Keeping your womb warm is very important from traditional Chinese medicine, especially if you’re trying to conceive! 🤰❤️

💡 Boost Your Yang Energy with a Hot Foot Bath!
Yang energy keeps us warm, helps blood and energy move and flow, gives us vitality, and lifts our energy, motivation and spirits. A hot foot bath is a powerful way to boost Yang in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

🔹 How does it work? The sole of the foot is home to Kidney 1 (Yong Quan), the most Yin point in the body, also known as "Gushing Spring." A hot foot bath warms the Kidney meridian; a key player in energy and fertility - helping to generate Yang Qi throughout the body.

Start by tapping soles of your feet on the hot water, and repeat this for a few minutes until you're able to submerge your feet. This generates a lot of warmth and heat in the kidney meridian that travels up to the womb. It also helps reduce any stress and tension, as the bottom of the foot is the most grounding point on the body, and stimulating can bring energy down from the head and make you feel more relaxed.

🌿Why Your Acupuncture Consultation Matters 🌿

Your consultation isn’t just a quick chat before needles 💬

Before we begin any treatment, I take the time to really listen — to your symptoms, your story, your stress levels, sleep patterns, digestion, and much more. Every detail gives insight into your unique balance (or imbalance) of energy.

This allows me to craft a treatment plan that’s tailored just for you.

Your acupuncture journey begins with a thoughtful, one-to-one free consultation.

🌿 Why I Take Your Pulses During Your Acupuncture Treatment 🌿
— a note from Kelly at Serenity Acupuncture.

One question I get asked often in clinic is:
“Why do you take my pulse?”

It’s a great question — and the answer goes to the heart of how acupuncture works.

When I take your pulses, I’m not just checking your heart rate. A acupuncturist will read the pulse to get a deeper understanding of what’s going on inside the body — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Each wrist gives an insight into different organ systems. I’m feeling for qualities like strength, rhythm, depth, and flow. It helps me understand where there might be imbalance or where your body might need a little extra support.

It’s one of the ways I tailor each treatment specifically to you.

So next time you’re lying on the treatment table and I pause to feel your wrist — know that your body is telling me a story.

🌿 Tuesday at Serenity Acupuncture 🌿

Ever heard of Qi (pronounced “chee”)?

In Five Element Acupuncture theory Qi is your vital life force — the energy that flows through your body.

When your Qi is balanced and moving freely, you feel vibrant and clear. When it’s blocked or depleted it can cause imbalances.

Through acupuncture, we gently guide the flow of Qi.

✨ Think of it as tuning the rhythm of your internal energy — so everything flows just as it should.
