That familiar burst of citrus when you peel an orange? Chen pi captures that, and then lets time transform it.

The sharp scent comes from volatile oils in the peel, strong, dispersing, and immediately moving.

In Chinese medicine, chen pi — aged tangerine peel — is used to move qi in the spleen, stomach, and liver, often for digestion, but also for what we’d call “stuckness.”

Chen means “aged.” Picture bright citrus peel slowly darkening to a rich, earthy brown as its sharp oils mellow and deeper notes emerge. With time, it grows warmer and more harmonious, still moving qi, but in a softer, balancing way.

At the Daoist Traditions College Acupuncture Teaching Clinic, student practitioners gain supervised clinical experience with herbs like this, offering low-cost care to the Asheville community.

Why do treatments often start at the hands and feet, even when the issue is elsewhere?

It’s not just convenience, it’s the power of Antique Points, also called the 5 Shu Points. These transporting points are located on all 12 primary meridians, below the elbows and knees.

They’re among the most frequently used in acupuncture for their strong effect in regulating qi flow — each representing a stage in its journey, like a river flowing to the sea.

From our classrooms to you.

Shenmen Point
The Chinese Ear Shenmen Point is generally translated as “Spirit Gate.” In traditional medicine, Shen pertains to the Heart, which is the residence of the Spirit.

This point calms the mind, reduces anxiety, and promotes relaxation.
Massaging the whole ear is helpful because it contains points for all the organs

Not only are peonies beautiful — they’re incredibly useful.

In Chinese medicine, white peony root (Bai Shao Yao) is known for nourishing the blood and gently moving Liver qi. It’s often used to support menstrual discomfort, mood shifts, and pain.

🌿 At Daoist Traditions Clinic, you’ll find herbs like Bai Shao Yao woven into personalized care, selected with thoughtfulness and guided by tradition, every step of the way.

In Chinese Medicine, summer is the fire season. We are in peak Yang energy right now! Summer heat can deplete the yin - the moistening, nourishing, cooling aspects of our bodies. Keeping the yin-yang balance in these hot summer months is key. Drinking plenty of water and adding in electrolytes can help replenish fluids after a day out in the heat.
