Fall is known as the Season of the Lung – a time to let go, tune inward, and breathe out the weight we’re holding.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Lungs are associated with our boundaries and our ability to release impurities and emotional weight through breath. Our Wei Qi (protective energy) is held in the Lungs, in addition to our grief.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The beginning of fall is a time to slow down and create space for balance. Nature knows when the moment is here, letting go of the leaves they no longer need, and although the leaves are just beginning to turn, we are hearing from tons of patients about their early fall allergy symptoms starting to flare.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some tips for easing the transition into the Season of the Lung:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📍 Eat healing, local, in-season foods – honey, almonds, radish and pears or try adding some spicy and pungent foods.
📍 Nourish your spirit - honor your grief the way the trees honor the loss of their leaves. Release the emotions holding you down.
📍 Stay warm - keep your skin and body warm and moisturized.
📍 Listen to music - The Lung resonates with the rhythms and flow of music. Dance, sing, and let it all go.
📍 Try these acupressure points to relieve symptoms of the Season of the Lung - Massage each point for 10-15 minutes each.

We wanted to announce a very special addition to the Glenside Community Acupuncture family!

Meet Mel Wolf! Mel is certified nationally through the NCCAOM and is a licensed Acupuncturist in Pennsylvania with the PA Board of Medicine. She holds a Masters Degree in Acupuncture Studies from The Won Institute and is currently pursuing her Doctorate. Melissa earned her Bachelor’s degree in Communications at Rowan University and has an Associate’s degree in Dental Hygiene. She has worked as a Registered Dental Hygienist since 2010. Through her work as a Dental Hygienist, Melissa developed a passion for helping and educating people about their health. She recommends preventative strategies and brings this to her Acupuncture practice utilizing 5 Element and TCM techniques to treat patient’s disharmonies. She has worked in several community acupuncture clinics in Philadelphia focusing on chronic pain, stress, digestive issues, TMJ and preventative wellness. When not seeing patients Melissa enjoys going to Musicals, catching up with friends and going on adventures with her kiddo.

Mel will be offering Community Sessions in Fort Washington on Wednesdays from 2:30 - 6:30 pm.
~ Soft opening starts Wednesday, May 7th!~

You can book with Mel on our booking site, but we are also taking walk-ins at this time.

These sessions are a flat rate of $45 and can be booked online with some dreamy treatment add-ons like, guasha, cupping, ear seeds, magnets, and personalized aromatherapy.

The Fort Washington community treatments are in a quiet open room, resting next to others in a comfy zero gravity recliner, under an infrared heat lamp --- need we say more?

In our busy world, it is essential that we take time to rest surrounded by others. This is an opportunity to receive care among family, friends, and neighbors. Similar to meditating or taking a group yoga class, we have found that treatments in a group provide a greater intention and capacity to heal.

We restored warmth and revitalized energy. Back in early February GCA partnered with Jen Andrews & Andrea Cameron of Mindful Muscles to bring a fabulous Melt the Winter Blues event. GCA treated harmonizing distal acu points on the lower body while MM gave invigorating head, neck and shoulder massage. Clients rested and felt uplifted from these sessions and we had so much fun sharing this event!

We sold out really fast last time so we are thrilled to offer this again with a few additional spots and more treatment focused on a Spring Renewal. Look out for the sign up soon! Happening March 30 💚🌱

The Year is 2025 welcome, Year of the Snake: Think Transformation, Healing, Balance.

We are transitioning from the Year of the Dragon to the Year of the Snake. At this time of year, many people suffer from achy bones and stiff joints.
What do you see in the snake?
Do snakes get arthritis? Hell no—these flexible creatures move freely and gracefully.

Begin to embrace the energy of the Snake in your life.
Which joints ache?
Which are stuck?
Which do you want to break through? Instead of looking from the lens of “disease”, see it as a challenge.

Use Nature’s wisdom and your Qi to break through this challenge and create greater mobility and freedom in your life.
What areas of your life: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual, do you want that embrace change and cultivate renewal?

These are great prompts for journaling or reflection.

Embracing Flexibility
Snakes have the innate ability to move freely and quietly, Just as snakes shed their skins, we must be able to let go of what no longer serves us in order to embrace 2025 . As we release our past fears or worries, we allow ourselves the flexibility to move freely in the direction of our potential. Embrace flexibility in how you live, grow, and care for yourselves.

2025 is the year to deepen your awareness and nurture your Kidney Qi. Your Kidney energy is the root of your body’s energy reserves and the key to healthy changes.

Happy & healthy year of the Snake, everyone!

Acupuncture for Tension Headaches & Migraines:

If you struggle with migraines, you’re not alone. It’s estimated that 1.25 billion people experience migraines each year.

In a 2020 study, researchers found that acu was more effective than usual care in preventing migraines. In most cases, “usual care” means taking preventative migraine medication daily or at the onset of a migraine.

In another recent study, in the Journal of Pain Research and Management, the authors concluded that, “based on high quality of evidence,” acupuncture is “an effective and safe therapy for migraine.”

How many treatments?

As with acupuncture for most symptoms and conditions, the results are cumulative. This means multiple treatments are needed over time for the best, longest-lasting effect. We recommend one treatment per week for 4-6 weeks, and depending on how you’re feeling at that time, we might begin spacing the treatments out with the goal of maintenance treatments every 4 weeks.

It always depends on the person (how long you’ve been experiencing symptoms, and how severe the symptoms are) but we find that for chronic migraine, monthly maintenance treatments are very helpful for preventing migraines.

If you’re ready to get some relief and try acupuncture for your migraines, you can schedule at the link in our bio.

Send this with someone you know who could benefit from acupuncture treatment.

Many insurance plans will cover acupuncture for the treatment of headaches and migraines too! We are happy to check your plan. Just reach out.
