Happy Dōng Zhì Everyone!!! Or should I greet you a happy “Hibernal Solstice”? Or Maybe a Happy Yalda… Or a Happy Festival of Saturnalia? Maybe a Merry Yule? Either Way, Happy Winter!
Today (at 9:03 a.m.) marks the precise moment of the deepest, darkest, longest moment of darkness of the solar cycle. Cool, huh?
While we say that this is “the first day of winter”, many cultures see this as the “mid-point” of winter. Or even the “First Day of Spring”. Why? Because from here on out, the days are getting longer and we begin our steady climb towards the warmth and light of spring and summer. (It may take a couple weeks for the temperatures to catch on and catch up, but still…) From here on out, the days are getting longer.
In virtually every culture around the world throughout history, this has always been one of the most important holidays. It offers us a moment to reflect on the cycles of life and seasons and how new life births eternal. We may be in the deepest, darkest moment of the year, but we can still see a glimpse… have a knowing that the night will end and spring will emerge with warmth and joy. Never fear your darkest moments because today reminds us that brighter, warmer, more cheerful days are ahead.

What Is A Perfect Christmas Gift Idea? The Gift of Acupuncture; with a gift certificate from Austin Acupuncture Clinic.
Hint, hint...

A Medicine Better than Pills? Turns out that gift giving, or other actions of generosity is VERY good for your health.
In a study published in the journal Health Psychology, researchers asked older adults with high blood pressure to spend money on others over three weeks. The results were impressive: Participants’ blood pressure dropped by magnitudes comparable to those seen with starting a new medication, exercising regularly, or making major changes to their diet, according to the authors.
Why does giving lessen the strain on the heart? Scientists suggest that acts of generosity trigger a cascade of calming, “feel-good” hormones such as oxytocin, which reduces stress and pressure on arteries and veins.

Top 10 Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know About Acupuncture
10. Slinging needles is only one of the tools in an acupuncturist’s toolbox. Acupuncturists can use herbal medicine and a multitude of other approaches.
9. The “Emperors Formula” was kept secret for hundreds of years and under the penalty of death, could only be used by the Imperial Physicians for the emperor himself. We use it daily at AAC.
8. Benjamin Franklin’s grandson published a manual on acupuncture in 1825. The book was about it’s use on inmates in the Pennsylvania penal system.
7. In an effort to reduce costs in their medical systems, 17 million+ acupuncture treatments were paid for by insurance in Europe last year.
6. Although not commonly covered by the most bloodsucking, money-gouging insurance companies ;-) , acupuncture has been endorsed and encouraged by the NIH, WHO, AMA and CDC among other many other agencies.
5. Commonly used by active military and by the VA for retired service members and injured active duty.
4. Acupuncture is considered the safest form of medical care. Acupuncturists enjoy the lowest malpractice insurance rates of any medical profession.
3. Marco Polo was the first to introduce acupuncture in the 1200’s to the very skeptical Venetians.
2. Some of the early acupuncture “needles” included shards of bone, splinters of rock and even pine needles.
1. Unquestionably, the best value in healthcare!

Did your mom ever tell you that if you didn't bundle up, you were going to catch a cold? She was right! A Harvard University study found that a drop in the air temperature which we breath in of just 9° reduces your body's ability to kill viruses by almost 42%.
Working in cold environments potentially sets us up for more colds & flus, according to their study.
For context; in the factory here in town, we drop from 72° outside to the mid 30's inside. That's quite more than the 9° Harvard says is necessary to cut our immune system by nearly half.
So for those of you who work in a cold environment indoors... even thought we're moving into summer's warmth outdoors... consider continuing all those great tips and tricks you did back during the cold & flu season; such as taking your vitamin C & D & zinc daily, using nasal spray or gargling with salt water every day, keeping your home humidity above 42%, daily exercise, make good sleep a priority, etc.
You'd be helping ensure a healthy, happy and enjoyable summer of fun ahead.

Don't forget; on cold winter nights like this, research shows that you'll sleep and breath better if you keep your home more humid. For a better night's sleep tonight, aim for 45% humidity in your home and office.

Want another reason to run a humidifier this season? How about that it will save you money on your heating bill this winter.
Oddly enough, dry air feels chillier than humid air, so if you run a humidifier in your home, you'll find that you can keep your thermostat set a few degrees lower than you normally might... and still be very comfortable.
And remember, running a humidifier in your home and workplace cuts colds & flu virus transmission rates significantly. Keeping the humidity at around 45-50 is perfect.

12/15/2025

Time to get your humidifiers up and running. It may be 87% humidity outside, but you ain't outside! Research shows that if your indoor humidity is below 42%, that doubles your chances of catching a respiratory virus. The lower the humidity, the more susceptible you are to catching something.
This morning, my indoor humidity was a lowly 16%! Yikes! Time to pull out the humidifiers.

You out there? Happy Hannukah, my peeps! Eight days of gift giving can't be wrong... ;-)

Low Back Pain? You want to know an easy acupressure point almost nobody talks about? It's these two right here; 1010.19 and 1010.20. It's almost unbelievable that they work as well as they do since they are about as far away from the back as you can get, but they do... and great!
They are located in that area just under the lip. (Both sides of the lips). They work gangbusters for sudden back strain as well general weak back in the later years. It's also great for asthma too.
All you need to do is gently (but firmly) push, prod, pinch and agitate for 2-3 minutes. Since there are a total of four points there, you might as well think of it as the whole area under the lower lip. Just massage the whole area there.
Best to use several times a day (maybe every half hour, why not?) And if it's for a sudden back strain, use immediately right away.
So if you have a stubborn low back pain.... or next time you pull your back, just remember these two acupressure points
