When in doubt, don’t count acupuncture out!! Today we’re celebrating the start of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, and also answering a question many of you probably sort-of consider while exercising- how beneficial is acupuncture for your body if you’re a highly active or athletic person?

Acupuncture has been shown to help reduce muscle soreness and inflammation, speed up recovery, improve range of motion, and support injury rehab by increasing blood flow and calming the nervous system. Many athletes also use it to manage pain, improve sleep, and stay consistent in training. Some winter athletes who have been known to incorporate acupuncture treatment into their training regimen are Canadian slopestyler Mark McMorris, who competed at the games in Sochi 2014, Pyeongchang 2018, and Beijing 2022, and Chinese-American freestyle skier Eileen Gu, who made her Olympic debut at the Beijing 2022 games.

Incorporate acupuncture into your own training and see just how much of a difference it makes for your body!

Some useful information regarding digestion from a TCM point of view:

1. Energy comes after digestion, not before. Fatigue isn’t a reason to skip meals or just grab a coffee, it’s often a sign that your digestion needs more support. Low energy + digestion struggles = even lower energy.

2. Digestion is sensitive to how you eat and not just what you eat. Eating while stressed, rushing through your meals, or eating on the go all weaken digestion, even if the food you’re eating is “healthy”.

3. Cold foods can slow your digestion- too many cold foods (iced water, smoothies, raw salads or vegetables) can dampen that process, leading to bloating, heaviness, and sluggishness.

4. Digestion affects your mental clarity: brain fog, overthinking, and poor focus are often linked to weak digestion in TCM, not just sleep or stress.

5. Poor digestion creates dampness, which shows up as stubborn bloating, water retention, fatigue and/or heaviness, and foggy thinking.

With digestion having an effect on most of your body, it is important to keep consistent meal times with (hopefully, warmer) foods that the body can rely on. Don’t let your digestion slow down, and in turn slow you down!

Do you wake up with phlegm or post-nasal drip, cough it out, and then forget about it? Well, try to remember!! It’s possibly a sign of something else going awry in your body!!

In TCM, waking up with phlegm or post-nasal drip is often a sign of an accumulation of dampness and spleen Qi weakness. When digestion is sluggish, fluids aren’t transformed and passed through the body properly.

Here are some tips to help clear it:
- start your day with WARM WATER (not cold!!)
- choose warm, cooked breakfasts
- reduce your intake of dairy, sugar, and greasy foods
- keep your chest and neck warm while sleeping

Remember, phlegm is slow to build and slow to clear. If it’s persistent, acupuncture or herbal formulas may help to address the root cause and not just the symptom.

Tu Youyou, Nobel Prize-winning malariologist and pharmaceutical chemist and member of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, found the cure to malaria through a 340 AD text. She discovered a breakthrough medicine called artemisinin from sweet wormwood (Artemisia annua), an herb long used in Chinese medicine for fevers. Her research team's malaria cure had a 100% success rate in animal and human trials. Today, the WHO recommends artemisinin as the first line of defense against the disease.

The Electric Body: Why Needles Feel Good

TCM Fact: Acupuncture points are often located where nerves, arteries, and veins cross. Acupuncture needle insertion stimulates the release of endorphins and adenosine, which block pain signals (like a non-opioid painkiller).

Studies suggest acupuncture can boost endorphins and serotonin while smoothing out the brain's mood networks (Harvard Health, 2023).\n\nWhat does that mean for you? Steadier mornings, fewer emotional ups and downs, and a little more breathing room when life feels overwhelming.\n\nAt 7 Sages Acupuncture and Herbs, we create treatments focused on calming your nervous system and working alongside your existing care.

Tension headaches can steal your mornings, workouts, and plans. Relief shouldn't mean bracing for side effects or guessing what might work. In clinical trials, acupuncture helped people cut headache days in half far more often than those who didn't receive it—about 1 in 2 versus 1 in 6 (Linde, 2022). That's real space opening up on your calendar. Care is personalized—targeting tender spots and whole-body patterns. The goal? No headaches and a nervous system that feels less on-edge. When you're ready, 7 Sages Acupuncture and Herbs is here. Call +1-714-485-6905 or visit https://7sagesacu.com to start your plan. Source: Linde, Klaus, et al.
