Having crossed the autumnal equinox threshold earlier this week, we are in the height of the Metal phase.

The Metal element is in charge of letting go and relates to the lungs and the large intestine. With the season of fall, we can be more vulnerable to external attack from dryness, wind, and cold!

Put in non-Chinese medicine terms: it’s officially Fall, and you’ve probably noticed some cooler temps mixed in with some lingering hot days, dryer air, a tickle in your throat, and the time when *everyone* around you seems to be getting sick.

Here at the clinic, we're starting to see more fall related health issues arise with our patients:
✔️cold viruses
✔️dry scratchy throats
✔️dry scaly skin and other dermatological flares
✔️ragweed allergies and asthma
✔️the beginnings of seasonal depression and sadness
✔️chronic constipation
✔️….and more!

Since these types of seasonal shifts often bring about predictable symptom patterns, there are several tried and true things we can do to support ourselves and benefit our health:

🍐Eat peaches, pears, apples, pumpkins, squash, sweet potatoes, beets, figs, sesame seeds, walnuts, and warm soups and stews
🫖Drink warm honey-lemon water, ginger tea, or chrysanthemum tea with honey
🧣Stay bundled up, protecting your wind gate (aka neck) from breeze
🌬️Breathwork! Since the metal element relates to the lungs and the emotion of grief, using your breath to move both of those can be very therapeutic

Share in the comments your favorite ways to nourish yourself during the fall season!

What are we loving these days?? BACK POINTS!

We love needling points on the back.

📍Depending on the needling technique we use and which points we combine it with, a point can do many different things!📍

Points on the back can treat:
⭐muscle pain and tension
⭐spine and disc issues
⭐asthma and allergies
⭐lingering cough and congestion
⭐anxiety and insomnia
⭐digestion
⭐menstrual cycle and fertility support
⭐urinary concerns
⭐fatigue
⭐… and the list goes on!

🕸️ Some points even relate to specific organs of the body. 🕸️

What we wish people knew about craniosacral therapy… one of our favorite hand holds in a session is holding the back of the head.
(although, if we’re honest, we have LOTS of favorites… ear pull anyone?!)

Not only does cradling the head feel soooo gooooood to receive, it gives us as practitioners several options for working with your body.

If we curl our fingers slightly and add in a little bit of gentle pressure and traction, we can work with a myofascial focus and give some love to the suboccipital tissues that are located right in that area of the neck and back of the head. If you hold tension in your jaw, shoulders, and/or neck, working here will probably give you some much needed relief!

If we soften our hands and allow the full weight of the head to land, we can work with a cranio focus by tuning in to the movement of the occiput with the cerebral spinal fluid. When there’s a gentle rocking sensation here, we know the nutrient-dense and healing fluid is moving from the brain and down the spinal cord and back again. It’s very relaxing for the nervous system!

And as a bonus: this is also a reiki hold! If we switch our intention to an energetic level, we can also invite your energy to balance and flow, which can support your wisdom, intuition, and mental clarity.

A few ways you can experience this head hold for yourself:
✨Acu + Cranio appointment with Dr. Kim
✨Cupping + Cranio OR Craniosacral Therapy Appointments with Helen
✨ask a trusted loved one to hold your head for you! Let the warmth of their hands support you
✨lay on a tennis ball and let time and gravity soften the tissues

Mark your calendars and join us in honoring the change of season! Steph Sanders, LAc will be guiding an intimate group to help bodies shift into the autumn season in a Fall Equinox Community Acupuncture gathering rooted in the wisdom of Chinese Medicine.

The fall equinox marks a significant transition between summer and winter, signified by equal amounts of light and dark and a shift to cooler, drier weather.

This time of year corresponds to the Metal element, which influences our relationship to structure, discernment, and the act of “letting go”.

This small group experience will invite you to slow down and find balance in this time of transition. We will celebrate a slower pace, self-reflection, and release - both in nature and within ourselves - by inviting stillness and reflection in a community healing circle.
