Ever tried cupping?
Did you know there are several styles of cupping depending on the treatment goals?
🐙 Stationary cupping results in those circular bruises we've all seen on Michael Phelps. It is used to move stasis, clear pathogenic cold, and stop pain in muscle tissue
🤲 Sliding cupping is used to release stasis but is gentler on the body's resources so it is used when someone is fatigued and hurting. We also use it to clear pathogenic wind and heat.
🫧 Popping cupping is used to wake up a muscle group when it is not firing well. I use this often for folks with musculoskeletal pains, especially on either side of the spine. I may do stationary cupping on one side of the spine and popping cupping on the other, for example, when muscular imbalances are contributing to spinal misalignment. (And I often refer these patients to .chiro for adjustments, too!)

✨ 🩸Blood building salad!🩸✨
In Chinese medicine, blood serves many important roles that go beyond "the wet red stuff" and include more energetic phenomena. Blood deficiency signs depend on the affected channel system and could include:

👀 Insomnia (especially difficulty falling asleep)
💪 Muscle cramps and being prone to overuse injury
😨 Anxiety
🏜️ Dry skin and nails
📜 Sallow complexion
😕 Trouble concentrating
🥶 Cold, pale extremities
🩸 Light or absent periods
😵‍💫 Lightheadedness

This meal has tons of lovely blood-building foods!
Dark leafy greens, red beets, red beans, red fruit, seeds, nuts, eggs...
Eating foods like this plus getting plenty of fluids can help!

These symptoms plus marked fatigue could indicate early signs of what allopathic medicine would diagnose anemia. Regular annual blood work and wellness checks are important and acupuncture and diet are not a substitute for but rather a supplement to regular medical care.

Funny things I get up to... I took my silicone ear to an acupuncture demo at my kid's school cause her class is studying Asia this month. So now I've had to give the ear a bath 😅
I've had this little guy for 9 years, since I started learning to needle. And I think this might be his first bath? Idk he just didn't pick up lint before.

sinus pressure edition.
I've been struggling to get over a cold my kiddo gifted to me, so I'm treating the sinus pressure today with Bi Tong (nose opening) and Shangxing (upper star), two acupuncture points that are very supportive for folks with sinus pressure and pain. Already feeling better, but stay tuned for the facial Gua Sha tutorial
Schedule your acupuncture appointment today for support with sinus pressure, aches and pains of all sorts, emotional concerns, and more. Cause yeah, there's a point for that

Cupping! One of my favorite ways to support folks with muscle pains, especially in the upper back and shoulders. Small cups like this are useful in curved areas because they maintain suction better.
Cups use a vacuum (which can be generated with a hand pump, as in this set, or with fire) to lift tissue up away from the body, helping create more space between layers of fascia and muscle. The bruising that occurs is actually diagnostic for your provider - dark bruises indicate stagnation, pale bruises indicate deficiency, and so on - and is a normal and expected outcome during cupping.
Facial cupping uses much a weaker vacuum and can be done without any bruising.
Cups can be left in place, creating the distinctive circular bruising, or they can be slid along the skin with the aid of a massage creme or oil. Most of my clients love sliding cupping! They say it's relaxing and feels great.
Send me a message or visit my website to learn more about cupping!

I LOVE doing moxa on the needle 🔥🔥🔥
Moxa warms, moves, dispels cold... It's one of the only ways I can add energy to the system as an acupuncturist (otherwise I'm dependent on you eating, sleeping, and drinking fluids). I focus a lot of my acupuncture work on helping people get into right relationship with their own body/mind/spirit so they can better care for themselves, to give themselves that energy. And, moxa is an excellent tool to add to the mix.
The points here are used to relax muscles that surround nerve tissue. When these muscles get really tight they can cause severe pain and even neurological symptoms like numbness and tingling. By using moxa on the needle, we can convey the heat directly into the muscle tissue. The resultant melting of tension can help clients find quick pain relief.
If you need a good thaw, you know where you can find me.

Neck is cranky so using some Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture to help it out this morning.
I got bodywork the last couple of days (massage with and chiropractic with .chiro yay!) and my body is still working out the kinks, which is common. So this is a great example of how massage, chiropractic, and acupuncture make a great team for pain. Pains often get worse before they get better (described as Law of Cure in homeopathy) and acupuncture can help provide analgesia (pain relief) while the structural changes from other interventions settle, while aiding in the relaxation needed to prevent the structures from misaligning again.

Happy

My preferred pronouns are they/them. I don't like being called ma'am or sir, just call me Grace. I don't like being called momma, or girl, or queen.

It's hard to learn how to stand up for oneself and ask for what you want, but it's worth doing when you know what's right for you. It's ok if you're still figuring it out. You're encouraged to be a work in progress - none of us has it all figured out!
