🐶 The Dog Days of Summer are approaching — which means San Fu Moxa is almost here!
This powerful seasonal treatment, rooted in classical Chinese herbal medicine, helps strengthen your immune system, support lung health, and prevent cold-weather illness.

In Chinese medicine, prevention is key, which is why we begin preparing now—during the hottest days of summer, when the body's Yang energy is most accessible.

📆 San Fu Moxa Dates:
• July 20
• July 30
• August 9
For best results, we recommend attending all three sessions to build lasting immunity.

📞 Call us at (215) 772-1040 or book online through our Jane portal (link in bio).

Let nature do the heavy lifting. Your winter self will thank you. 💛

We are grateful that acupuncture has been a part of the Princess of Wales healing journey. We wish for her continued healing and recovery.

The Princess of Wales appeared noticeably thinner and moved the world as she made her first public appearance since unexpectedly pulling out of Royal Ascot. She visited a hospital in Colchester to help open a new wellness garden, where she planted roses bearing her name and spent meaningful time speaking with patients battling the same illness she has faced.

In one of her most sincere and touching moments since beginning treatment, Catherine revealed that she had to hide her true feelings behind a “mask of courage” throughout the ordeal. She spoke about the constant pressure to appear strong and keep going, even when inside everything felt like it was falling apart. Moreover, the princess emphasized that the period after treatment is one of the most difficult and frightening, as the fight against the disease doesn’t end when therapy stops.

She also opened up about how challenging it has been to find a new balance and understand what her “new normal” looks like. In a vulnerable gesture, she shared that acupuncture has been one of the methods helping her heal and seek harmony.

Finally, Catherine stressed that emotional support must be ongoing, highlighting how essential it is for patients to receive care even after medical treatments conclude, since recovery goes far beyond physical healing.

✨ Honoring Black Healers ✨
Juneteenth is a day of remembrance, liberation, and reclamation. It's also a time to recognize the often-overlooked contributions of Black healers—visionaries who have preserved ancestral knowledge, resisted systemic harm, and held space for collective healing in their communities.

Today we highlight four such figures:

🌿 Mutulu Shakur
A revolutionary acupuncturist and co-founder of the Black Acupuncture Advisory Association of North America (BAAANA). Shakur used acupuncture as a tool to treat addiction and trauma, especially in underserved Black communities. He saw healing as a form of liberation and community defense.

🌾 Emma Dupree
A root woman and herbalist from North Carolina who practiced Black folk medicine deeply rooted in ancestral and land-based wisdom. Her remedies and spiritual care sustained generations through segregation, poverty, and limited medical access.

🌸 Queen Afua
A holistic health practitioner and author who has empowered thousands through womb wellness, plant-based healing, and spiritual self-care. Her work centers Black women’s bodies, traditions, and sovereignty in health.

🍃 Dr. Sebi
An influential herbalist who advocated for alkaline plant-based diets to restore balance and heal chronic conditions. His methods drew from African bio-mineral traditions and were based on detoxifying the body from industrial food systems.

These healers—whether through clinical tools, ancestral knowledge, or spiritual wellness—have resisted oppression with care, wisdom, and unwavering belief in the healing power of Black bodies and Black traditions.

✨ Why This Matters on Juneteenth
Juneteenth is more than a celebration of emancipation—it is a reminder of how the Black community has always created pathways to thrive, even in the absence of institutional support. Honoring these healers is an act of remembering, reclaiming, and affirming the ongoing journey of collective healing and liberation.

🌈 At Six Fishes, we’re proud to offer a welcoming, gender-affirming space.
Healing happens best when you feel safe, seen, and cared for.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture can be powerful tools to support LGBTQIA+ health—especially for trans, non-binary, and gender-fluid individuals who may face barriers in conventional healthcare settings.

From managing the side effects of hormone therapy and supporting mental health, to aiding pre- and post-surgical recovery, acupuncture meets each person where they are—with compassion and respect.

You deserve healthcare that honors your full self. 💛
