Acupuncture supports the immune system by helping the body regulate stress, improve circulation, and optimize nervous system balance. When stress is lowered and Qi flows more smoothly, the body is better able to respond, repair, and protect itself. Regular treatments can support resilience, especially during cold, seasonal, and high-stress times.

WINTER HYDRATION — WHY WARM MATTERS
In colder months, our bodies naturally draw inward to preserve warmth and energy. Cold drinks may feel refreshing, but they slow hydration and weaken digestion. In Chinese Medicine, they can drain Spleen Yang and worsen Dampness.

This season, choose warmth.
Winter Hydration Tonic
Ginger–Red Date–Goji Infusion
• 16 oz warm water (not cold)
• 2–3 fresh ginger slices
• 2 dried red dates (jujube)
• 5–7 goji berries
Simmer 5–7 minutes, strain, sip slowly.

Best times to drink:
• Upon waking, before coffee
• Mid-afternoon (2–4 pm)
• Before or after acupuncture

Benefits:
• Gently hydrates
• Warms digestion
• Supports Kidney Qi

Thanksgiving invites us to gather, reflect, and often eat more than our digestive system can comfortably handle.
In Chinese Medicine, overeating places stress on the Spleen and Stomach, which can lead to:
* Bloating and gas
* Fatigue or brain fog after meals
* Reflux or a heavy sensation
* Increased sugar or carbohydrate cravings
Here are practical ways to support a healthier digestive response before and after the meal.

Ginger Tea
* Warms the stomach
* Promotes movement of Qi to reduce fullness and bloating
* Helps with nausea
Drink warm before or after meals.
Cloves (Ding Xiang 丁香)
* Helps activate digestion
* Reduces gas and abdominal discomfort
Can be simmered with ginger or added to warm beverages.
Additional Tip
You may also gently suck on a thin slice of fresh ginger or a single piece of clove after eating to support digestion and freshen breath.

Acupuncture Perspective
Mindful, slow eating supports the natural descending movement of Stomach Qi. Eating quickly, multitasking, or consuming cold foods can reverse this flow and contribute to indigestion.

Suggestions
* Begin with warm, cooked dishes
* Allow time between servings
* Finish with ginger–clove tea or take a gentle walk afterward

Wishing you a Thanksgiving that nourishes not just the body, but also the spirit.
I am grateful for each of you in my life.
