Six Fishes Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs & Massage

Don’t worry — we understand your hesitation. If the thought of needles makes you nervous, you’re not alone.
But acupuncture needles are very different from the ones you’re probably imagining from a flu shot.

They’re extremely thin — even thinner than a sewing needle — and are designed to gently stimulate the body, not inject anything.

In acupuncture, these fine needles are placed at specific points to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue. This helps trigger the release of endorphins — your body’s natural pain-relieving and stress-reducing chemicals.

The result? Less pain, reduced stress, and a calmer nervous system — allowing your body to do what it does best: heal naturally. 🌿

✨ Happy Hanukkah from Six Fishes! ✨

December is here, which means the Festival of Lights and the festival of frying are upon us. Every year I make David the Latke King’s legendary latkes — a recipe so good it’s practically a ritual. Yes, your kitchen will be destroyed. Yes, it is worth it.

Because in a stressful world, traditions anchor us. Latkes today. Broccoli and quinoa next week.

Here’s the quick version (the magic is in the method!):

✨ Cara’s Latke Cheat Sheet ✨

- 2.5 lbs Idaho potatoes

- 1 onion

- 2 eggs

- ¼ cup matzoh meal

- Parsley, salt + pepper

- Oil for frying

- Applesauce (team applesauce forever!)

Important rules:

1. Shred potatoes + onion, then SALT and SQUEEZE the life out of them — drier is crispier.

2. Keep the potato starch at the bottom of the bowl — that’s liquid gold.

3. Don’t fuss. Let the edges get lacy and crispy.

4. Flip once. Be patient.

Serve immediately. Preferably with applesauce. Remove anyone who suggests ketchup.

Wishing you a beautiful Hanukkah filled with warmth, light, crispy edges, and the comfort of tradition.
And when the indigestion hits… you know where to find us. 😉

Chag Sameach! 🕎✨ (full recipe link in bio)

Winter season is here! ❄️
So we want to share some ways to avoid the winter blues and move through this season feeling more rested and aligned with your body’s natural rhythm.

In Chinese Medicine, Winter is connected to the Water Element. This season is all about conservation and nourishing your energy.

During winter, many people tend to feel more depressed because the nights are longer and the days are shorter. In TCM, we can ease that by staying in tune with the natural rhythm of the season.

That means sleeping earlier and waking up later when possible.
With the theme of conservation, it’s important to conserve your yang energy during these cold months. Avoid staying up too late or overexerting yourself — it will only lead to exhaustion.

Most importantly, Winter is a time for quiet, rest, and reflection.
This can look like starting a journaling practice, focusing on gratitude, or incorporating meditation into your routine.

Take things slowly and gently this season. Let us know in the comments if any of these tips were helpful💙✨

Wow we really did it! Thanks to the unbelievable generosity of our community, we have now raised over $3500 to help feed families in need here in Philadelphia!

What began as a call to support neighbors affected by the SNAP benefit pause turned into a powerful reminder of what caring for your community looks like.

We are so beyond grateful for each and every one of you who donated - whether big or small - you played a huge role in making a difference. When we show up for each other, nobody gets left behind - THAT is the power of community 💛💛💛

Although this fundraiser was successful, many families will continue to need support in the months ahead. We urge you to continue supporting organizations such as Sharing Excess as well as other meaningful ways to help:

- Donating to local food banks & community fridges
- Volunteering to feed the community with organizations such as
- Offering to buy groceries for neighbors struggling

A huge thank you again to our community - this wouldn’t have been possible without your generous support. Let’s continue to fight the good fight!
