3 tips to support me**es from a Chinese medicine perspective:

1. Keeping your feet warm.
There are several channels involved in regulating menstrual bleeding, however the Spleen, Liver and Kidney (our leg yin channels) play a big role. Because they start on our feet it’s important to keep them warm so that they can function more optimally.

2. Using a heating pad for menstrual cramping.
While ice can temporarily feel nice, ice doesn’t encourage blood flow and circulation like heat does. Putting warmth on an area encourages vasodilation which can help the uterus muscle to feel less stabby and crampy.

3. Consuming warm foods/fluids.
Warmth encourages better circulation and improves digestion. As our body works to move blood, easing digestion and gently nourishing and supporting our body is so important.

Our menstrual bleed should be a monthly wellness check in. If you experience a lot of menstrual pain, cramping, fatigue, bloating, have heavy periods, or very light periods, Chinese medicine is a great tool to explore the root causes of imbalances that may be leading to your menstrual issues.

We’re on a mission to help you love the skin you’re in!

At Unwind Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine, we offer holistic microneedling—a unique treatment that combines micro/nano needling with acupuncture to support your skin from the inside out. By including acupuncture in our sessions, we also look at causative factors that impact your complexion, like stress, digestion, and fatigue. The result? Skin that looks vibrant and feels healthier.

I first began using microneedling to heal my own skin through different life seasons— acne scars and hormonal skin changes related to pregnancy and breastfeeding. Microneedling works with your body to stimulate collagen and elastin, and to promote a smoother, more radiant glow.

During our sessions, we use TOMA professional products—formulated by licensed acupuncturists and packed with nourishing herbs that truly give your skin the care it deserves.

With the holidays fast approaching, now is the perfect time to start. Give us a call to learn more or to book your appointment (859) 287 - 1097.

What is actually happening to your body during acupuncture?

Modern science is only beginning to scratch the surface of understanding the benefits of acupuncture through imaging and lab studies. Some of the effects that acupuncture treatments can have on the body include, but are not limited to:

* Stimulating release of neurotransmitters like dopamine & GABA
* Modulating serotonin
* Reducing IgE levels
* Decreasing inflammatory neuropeptides like substance P
* And so much more...

If you'd like to learn more about the beneficial effects of acupuncture, Evidence Based Acupuncture is an excellent resource that explains Chinese medicine therapeutics through a Western lens.

If you'd like to experience acupuncture for yourself, visit our website unwindacupuncture.com or give us a call (859) 287-1097.

Have you heard of Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT)? This specific technique is targeted at alleviating allergies to various food, environmental and even some drug allergies. We have the opportunity to be trained in Maryland by Dr. Nader Soliman, MD and acupuncturist. This technique has even been used with Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS), which has become an increasingly prevalent problem here in the Commonwealth.

We’re so excited to bring this impactful acupuncture technique back to Danville and the surrounding areas. Wish us luck as we hit the road for a long drive out (always an adventure with a toddler). If you reach out during our absence, we may be slower than typical in responding. Thanks for understanding!

Healing isn’t always a straight line. Sometimes you feel like you’re making great progress, and other times it feels like symptoms flare back up or you’ve taken a step backward. This doesn’t mean you’re failing.

Life adds layers, too. Stress from work, caring for family members, sleepless nights, or just the pace of a busy schedule can all place extra demands on your body. These factors can slow things down or temporarily bring symptoms back to the surface — but they don’t erase the progress you’ve already made.

Think of healing as a winding path with ups and downs, not a direct climb. Even when the line dips, the overall trend is still upward.
Be patient with yourself, honor the circumstances you’re moving through, and remember: your body is always working toward balance.

If you’re feeling stuck along your journey, acupuncture and herbal medicine can support your body through the ups and downs. We'd love to help you find your footing again. Visit unwindacupuncture.com or give us a call (859) 287 - 1097.

Life has a way of testing us—through big transitions like pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, or the slow climb back from chronic illness. In those moments, it’s easy to lose sight of the strong, beautiful person we are. We doubt our body’s ability to heal. We put everyone else’s needs before our own.

But here’s the truth: loving yourself is not selfish—it’s medicine.

When we nourish our hearts, honor our bodies, and meet ourselves with compassion, we create the space for healing to happen.

You are worthy. You are resilient. And you deserve the same love you give so freely to others. ♥️

Your journey starts with one small step — let’s take it together. Visit us at unwindacupuncture.com or call (859) 287-1097 to book.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever had your “to do list” playing on repeat as you’ve struggled to fall asleep. We’ve all been there!

Today we’re talking about engaging our Ren channel through our breath in order to connect with ourselves and tap into a deeper sense of calm.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine are great ways to quiet the stress response, but practicing breath-work and engaging the parasympathetic nervous system often takes repetition at home as well. Give this simple exercise a try and let us know how it goes.
