With temperatures dropping lower and lower, now is the time to start perfecting the art of keeping your body warm. 

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, warmth is crucial to maintaining good health. Cold can lead to stagnation, which can then lead to all sorts of nasty health issues. We don’t want that around the holidays! 

To keep yourself warm this fall, follow these tips: 

1. Avoid raw, uncooked foods. Consuming too many cold things, such as raw fruits and vegetables or iced drinks, can make it even more difficult for your body to maintain its warmth. Prioritize eating warm, cooked meals, and avoid the iced coffees for now! 

2. Keep your feet warm. Your feet are especially susceptible to the cold, and cold feet can lead to poor circulation through the rest of your body. Wear thick, warm socks and avoid sandals for now. 

3. Take warm baths or showers. Now is not the time to be cold-plunging! Warm baths/showers can help release muscle tension and boost circulation through your body. Just make sure to put on a cozy pair of socks afterwards. 

If you notice that you tend to be cold no matter what you do, it may be time to consider acupuncture to get to the root cause of your issue.

We’ve finally hit cooler temperatures here in Monroe, so it’s time to bring out alllllll the cozy drink recipes for the fall! 

In particular, one drink we really love to help decrease inflammation and pain in the body is a golden milk latte. The star of the show in this recipe is turmeric, which has been shown to be as effective as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (like ibuprofen) when it comes to pain relief. The ginger in this recipe is also a hardworking herb, especially when it comes to soothing the digestive system and keeping things moving to prevent constipation. 

To make a golden milk latte, you will need: 

1 cup of coconut milk
1 tsp of turmeric powder (or 1 inch of fresh turmeric, grated) 
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger (or 1/4 tsp ground ginger) 
1/4 tsp black sesame seed powder (optional) 
1/4 tsp black pepper (boosts turmeric absorption)
1 tbsp goji berries (steeped in hot water, then blended) 
1 tsp honey or maple syrup 

Directions: 
1. Steep the goji berries in 1/4 cup hot water for 5 minutes, then blend until smooth.
2. Warm the milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Do not boil. 
3. Mix the spices in the milk. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes. 
4. Blend for a frothy texture. 
5. Stir in honey and blended goji berries. Pour into a cozy mug and enjoy warm! 

If you make this delicious latte, let us know what you think! And if you feel that your body needs even more of an anti-inflammatory boost, acupuncture is always an option when it comes to helping you feel your best.

Happy Fertility Friday! 

In keeping with the spirit of fall, today’s Fertility Friday topic is on the importance of detoxification in the body — specifically, the importance of promoting regular bowel movements. 

In Chinese Medicine, fall is the season that governs both the lungs and the large intestine. Around this time of year, we start to see more issues that correlate with these two organs, with constipation being one such issue. 

When it comes to fertility, regular bowel movements are crucial because their purpose is to remove waste from the body. If your bowel movements become sluggish, your body’s detoxification process is slowed, and this promotes the build-up of toxins that can interfere with your hormones and digestion. We definitely want those two things in good shape when trying to conceive! 

To promote more regular bowel movements, try drinking at least half your body weight in ounces of (preferably lukewarm or warm) water each day, and shoot for a minimum of 25 grams of fiber daily as well. 

If you feel like your large intestine could use a little boost, acupuncture can help! Feel free to give us a call at 704-275-3856 or book a fifteen-minute consultation here: https://shorturl.at/VsGc5.

Are you struggling with heartburn and acid reflux? If so, why not try acupuncture rather than reaching for over-the-counter antacids? 

Acupuncture can offer lasting relief from heartburn and acid reflux by addressing the root cause underlying your specific symptoms. It has been found to help modulate the nervous system, protect and support the growth of positive gut bacteria, and improve gastrointestinal motility, all of which are helpful when it comes to treating constant digestive issues. 

If you’re ready to take the next step on your gut healing journey, give us a call at 704-275-3856 or book a fifteen-minute consultation with us by following this link: https://shorturl.at/VsGc5.
