To me, cinnamon sums up autumn!

Cinnamon, a spice cherished for its warm, sweet aroma and culinary versatility, has also played a significant role in the realm of Chinese herbal medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), cinnamon, known as “Rou Gui,” has been revered for its therapeutic properties for centuries.

Rou Gui is commonly used to invigorate the circulation of Qi (vital energy) and warm the body. According to TCM principles, it is believed to have a warming effect, making it beneficial for conditions associated with coldness and stagnation in the body. It is often prescribed to address ailments such as cold limbs, abdominal pain, menstrual disorders, and certain types of pain.

Moreover, cinnamon is lauded for its ability to support digestive health, as it is thought to strengthen the digestive fire and alleviate discomfort caused by poor digestion. Its inclusion in herbal formulas can help to balance the digestive system and enhance overall well-being.

Furthermore, research has suggested that cinnamon may possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, potentially contributing to its therapeutic effects in TCM. As a result, it is often used in combination with other herbs to create well-rounded herbal formulas tailored to address specific health concerns.

Incorporating cinnamon into TCM reflects the intricate interplay between nature and human health, showcasing the rich tapestry of traditional medicinal practices in Chinese culture. While its aromatic presence in culinary creations is well-known globally, its role in Chinese herbal medicine underscores its enduring significance in promoting holistic wellness and vitality.

Are you a sandal or sneaker kind of human??

As summer approaches most of us ditch the sneakers and boots for cute, airy sandals. However, not all sandals are created equal. Shoes that are flip-flop in nature are a one way ticket to plantar fasciitis pain. Footwear should have a back that secures your foot into the shoes. The wishy-washy nature of a flip flop leaves your foot grabbing for stability with each step you take. This leads to inflammation in the foot which causes plantar fasciitis and pain.

Sneaker selection is also super important! Narrow toe boxed shoes put pressure on the sides of the feet and do not allow the toes to spread properly with each step. Continuously squished feet leads to neuromas and bunions. Picking a shoe that has a wide toe box allows for proper movement of your feet and reduces the chance of these painful conditions.

Why is this all so important? Foot pain doesn’t translate to just foot pain. It can lead to ankle, knee, hip, back, and neck pain which can sometimes be tricky to treat. It also affects many aspects of our life.

Let’s all have a pain free summer and get those feet summer ready. Call to schedule and finally deal with the pesky and life interrupting pain. (775)240-4000.

Hey runners! The Reno-Tahoe Odessey is fast approaching! I am sure you have been logging those miles in anticipation of one of the Reno running community’s most anticipated events. Want to make your race day feel like a breeze? Schedule an acupuncture and cupping session before and after your race. Acupuncture and cupping are a great way to get blood flowing through muscles, loosen any knots from training for the big event, and feel refreshed so you can run your best race. Don’t forget about post race recovery either. After running multiple legs over a long period those hard worked muscles could use some acupuncture love. This helps to repair and rebuild any damage done after all your hard work.

Schedule today! (775)204-4000.

💤 Let’s talk about sleep! 😴

Sleep is so important when it comes to health. When we don’t sleep our bodies do not recover from the day to day stressors. We need 7-8 hours of sleep every night for optimal health and when we don’t get the quantity or quality sleep out bodies do not run well. Sleep deprivation leads to depression, anxiety, cravings for unhealthy and hyper palatable foods, we don’t recover from workouts as well, it increases the risk of cardiovascular events, and puts you at higher risk for other disease.

Sleep routines are very important to achieve quality rest and these are my go to habits before bedtime.

•No caffeine after 12pm

•Exercise and move more frequently throughout the day.

•Turn off the TV, get off the phones, computers, and screens at least 30 minutes before bed.

•Eat a balanced diet that fosters a healthy blood sugar.

•Keep your space cool at night.

•Find healthy ways to manage stress levels.

•Cut out the alcohol, especially late at night and if you do drink do not drink in excess.

If you are doing all these things and are still not sleeping it’s time to reach out to a qualified health professional.
