Did you know AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone) is a key marker of ovarian reserve?

It’s produced by the small follicles in your ovaries and helps estimate how many eggs you have left.

But don’t panic if your numbers aren’t where you want them—AMH is just one piece of the fertility puzzle!

Acupuncture can help by improving blood flow to the ovaries, balancing hormones, and supporting egg quality naturally.

So whether your AMH is high, low, or somewhere in between, acupuncture has your back!

Book your free consult so we can discuss your unique situation or answer any questions!

Did you know your tongue is basically the body’s built-in health report?

In Chinese medicine, it spills ALL the tea—like if your digestion is sluggish, your stress is off the charts, or if your body is running too hot 🔥 or too cold ❄️.

The color, shape, coating, and even those little cracks can reveal imbalances in your organs and energy flow.

So next time your acupuncturist asks to see your tongue, don’t be shy! They’re not judging your coffee stains—just reading your body’s receipts. 😉😂

Struggling with restless nights? 🛌 🌙✨

Try these 7 Chinese Medicine-inspired tips to help you sleep like a baby:

1️⃣ Balance Yin and Yang
Focus on calming Yin energy in the evening with quiet, grounding activities like meditation or Qi Gong.

2️⃣ Use Moxibustion
Apply gentle heat to points like Kidney 1 (on the sole of the foot) to calm the spirit and promote relaxation.

3️⃣ Nourish Your Heart and Spleen
Include warm, nourishing foods like dates, millet, or sweet potatoes to calm your Shen (spirit).

4️⃣ Apply Ear Seeds
Stimulate ear acupressure points, such as the Shen Men point, to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality.

5️⃣ Sleep on Your Left Side
Chinese medicine suggests sleeping on your left side to aid digestion and promote smoother energy flow.

6️⃣ Keep Your Feet Warm
Cold feet can disrupt sleep. Soak them in warm water to release tension and ground yourself.
7️⃣ Focus on the Liver
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, or spicy foods in the evening to prevent overburdening the Liver, which is key for restful sleep.

True healing is a journey, not a race.

Did you know that your menstrual cycle reveals valuable insights about your overall well-being from a Chinese medicine perspective?

✨ Cycle Length & Timing: Regular cycles suggest balanced Qi and Blood, while irregular timing may point to imbalances like Liver Qi stagnation or Blood deficiency.

🌊 Flow & Volume: Heavy flow may signal Heat or Blood stagnation, while light flow could indicate Qi or Blood deficiency.

🎯 Pain & Cramping: Sharp, intense pain often relates to stagnation, while dull aches may point to Cold or deficiency patterns.

🌈 Color & Texture: Bright red blood suggests Heat, while darker, clotted blood can indicate stagnation. Pale or watery flow may reflect deficiency.

Your cycle is more than just a monthly event — it’s a powerful indicator of your body’s internal balance. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help restore harmony, ease discomfort, and support overall reproductive health.

Curious about what your cycle might be telling you? Book a session today and let’s uncover the insights your body is sharing.

Menopause is a natural phase of life, but that doesn’t mean you have to go through it alone or in discomfort.

✨ Chinese medicine, including acupuncture, has been helping women navigate this transition for thousands of years by restoring balance and addressing the root causes of menopause symptoms.

By regulating hormones, improving circulation, and calming the mind, we can support you through this transformative time with grace and ease.

Your body is wise, and with a little help from acupuncture and Chinese herbs, you can embrace menopause with strength and balance. 🌙💫
