🧠 Pins and Needles? Tingling? Feeling Numb?
You might be dealing with neuropathy — and acupuncture can help.

Neuropathy is often described as burning, tingling, numbness, or even sharp pain in the hands or feet. It can be caused by diabetes, chemotherapy, injury, or unknown factors.

🌿 In Chinese Medicine, neuropathy is seen as a disruption of qi and blood flow, often with dampness, cold, or deficiency obstructing the channels.

🌟 Acupuncture improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and helps reconnect the communication between nerves and the brain. Many of our patients experience relief in just a few sessions — without the side effects of medications.

✅ Safe
✅ Drug-free
✅ Evidence-backed

If your nerves are trying to tell you something, maybe it’s time to listen — and try acupuncture.

🍒 Cherries: Small Fruit, Big Healing Power
Struggling with inflammation or joint pain like gout or arthritis?
Cherries might be your new best friend.

✨ Rich in anthocyanins, cherries help lower uric acid and reduce joint inflammation naturally.
✨ Studies show they can reduce the frequency of gout attacks and ease pain from arthritis.
✨ Cherries have a low glycemic index, meaning they won’t spike your blood sugar—making them a smart choice for those with diabetes or insulin resistance.

🔸 In Chinese medicine, most fruits are cooling, but cherries are warming in nature.
This makes them especially gentle on the digestive system, even for those with weaker digestion or cold-type conditions.
They also nourish the blood and invigorate circulation, making them excellent for cold-damp joint pain.

💡 Pro tip: Enjoy a handful of fresh or frozen cherries—especially during damp, cold seasons or when joints feel stiff and achy.

Nature’s sweet remedy—healing, warming, and delicious. 🍒

💧 Lymphatic Flow: Direction Is Everything!

When it comes to lymph drainage, direction matters more than pressure:

🔹 Upper body: fingertips → elbows → armpits → below the collarbone
🔹 Lower body: toes → knees → groin → toward the abdomen
➡️ All lymph drains under the collarbone into the subclavian vein.

❌ Pushing the wrong way?
That’s like driving the wrong way on a one-way street — it leads to stagnation, swelling, and pain.

✔️ Gentle, upward strokes with the weight of a coin is all you need.

✨ Acupuncture can help too!
It boosts lymph flow by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and clearing dampness and stagnation — naturally.

Let it flow, not force.
Heal gently, from the inside out. 🌿

❗ Fatty Liver Is the First Metabolic Warning

In Chinese medicine, the liver controls metabolism, digestion, and hormone balance.

When fat builds up in the liver, it slows down sugar processing, fat burning, and hormone detoxification.

This can silently push your body toward insulin resistance and eventually Type 2 Diabetes.

🚨 Early Signs You Might Have Fatty Liver (Even If Your Blood Test Is “Normal”)
– Fatigue after eating
– Sugar or carb cravings
– Belly weight gain
– Skin tags or dark neck folds
– Waking up around 3 a.m.
– PMS, cramps, or hormone imbalance
– Puffy face, bloating
– Mood swings or irritability

If this sounds familiar, your liver may be sending distress signals.

🧠 Western medicine often waits until your labs show disease.
But Chinese medicine sees patterns before lab numbers change.
This is where prevention can make the biggest difference.

✅ What Happens When You Support Your Liver:
– Stable energy after meals
– Clearer skin
– Balanced hormones
– Better digestion
– No more sugar crashes
– A calm, focused mind

✨ The best time to treat diabetes is before it starts. Start with your liver.

🍉 Watermelon Rind: The Summer Superfood You’re Missing!

Cold in nature

Clears heat from the Heart and Stomach

Promotes urination to eliminate summer dampness

Reduces swelling and heat-related headaches

🩺 Western Nutrition Highlights (per 1 cup raw rind):

✅ Supports hydration with high water content

🥗 Especially great for:

People with heat symptoms (irritability, swelling, thirst)

Diabetic patients who want the benefits of watermelon without sugar spikes

Anyone looking for a cooling, detoxifying summer food

🥗 Easy Watermelon Rind Salad Recipe
White watermelon rind (thinly sliced or julienned)

✨ Struggling with Cravings or Emotional Eating?
Auricular acupuncture might be the solution you’ve been looking for.

Did you know your ear contains a dense network of nerves—including branches of the vagus nerve, trigeminal nerve, and cervical plexus?
That means stimulating specific points on the ear can directly influence your nervous system, digestion, hormones, and even emotional regulation.
This is why auricular acupuncture is so effective for managing appetite, stress eating, and cravings.

Here are some of the most commonly used appetite-regulating points:

🔹 1. Shen Men (神門) – Calms the mind and eases stress-related eating
🔹 2. Stomach (胃) – Regulates stomach Qi and reduces excessive hunger
🔹3. Hunger Point (飢點) – Directly targets food cravings and compulsive eating
🔹4. Endocrine (內分泌) – Balances hormones and metabolism
🔹5. Mouth (口) – Helps reduce oral fixations and habitual snacking
🔹6. Spleen (脾) – Supports digestion and reduces sugar cravings
🔹7. Liver (肝) – Soothes irritability and controls emotional eating

🌿 Whether you’re trying to manage weight, reduce cravings, or support digestion naturally, auricular acupuncture offers a safe and effective approach.

✨ Mysterious Pain? You're Not Alone ✨
You’ve had body pain, so you did the right thing—went to your doctor.
They ran all the tests: X-rays, MRIs, blood work…
And what did they say? “Everything looks normal. Just exercise, relax, and take some painkillers when it hurts.”

Sound familiar?
But you still have pain.
👉 Tingling, soreness, numbness, aching—yet nothing shows up on imaging.

You might be dealing with an acupuncture channel blockage.
🔹 Our body has 12 main acupuncture channels.
🔹 When they get blocked, energy and blood don’t flow properly.
🔹 That leads to pain and strange sensations that Western tests can't detect.

If this sounds like your story, it’s time to try something different.

📞 Call Dr. Lee at Pearl River Acupuncture for a free consultation.
She’ll let you know if acupuncture can help—honestly and clearly.

You don’t have to live with pain that “has no cause.”
🔹 Let’s find the root.
🔹 Let’s restore the flow.
🔹 Let’s get you better.

👅 What Does Your Tongue Say About Your Health?
Understanding Tongue Diagnosis in Chinese Medicine

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), we often ask to see your tongue—and for good reason.
The tongue is the only internal organ we can directly observe from the outside, and it gives us deep insight into your overall health.

We examine the color, shape, coating, size, and moisture of your tongue to help diagnose internal imbalances.

🔎 Here’s what we’re looking for—and what it may mean:

💤 Pale, swollen tongue with teeth marks
→ Suggests Spleen Qi Deficiency
🟡 You may feel tired, heavy, have poor appetite, and feel bloated or gassy after meals.

🔥 Red tongue with thick yellow coating
→ Indicates Stomach Heat
🟡 Often linked to inflammation, acne, acid reflux, or trouble sleeping.

🌵 Thin, red, peeled or dry tongue
→ Points to Yin Deficiency
🟡 You may have dryness, constipation, or even infertility due to lack of internal fluids.

✨ Every tongue tells a story—and yours helps us get to the root of symptoms like fatigue, hormonal issues, digestive problems, or chronic pain.

📍Interested in learning what your tongue reveals? Come visit my clinic in Pearl River for an in-depth diagnosis and treatment plan tailored just for you.
