Jaw pain? Clicking? Tight when you

Try these acupuncture points to release jaw tension naturally:

👉 ST6 (Jiache) –
Right on your jaw muscle—clench your teeth to find it. Relieves tightness and pain.

👉 ST7 (Xiaguan) –
In front of your ear. Helps with clicking and joint stiffness.

👉 Taiyang –
Temple area. Reduces headache + jaw-related tension.

Press each point for 30–60 seconds, breathe slowly.

In the clinic, I combine these with acupuncture + muscle release for long-term TMJ relief.

Do your eyes feel tired, dry, or painful after a long day in front of a screen?

Hours of computer work can strain your eyes, leading to tension, headaches, and even blurry vision.

In acupuncture, we use specific points around the eyes to relieve strain and improve circulation.

BL2 (Zanzhu) – at the inner eyebrow
→ Helps reduce eye tension & frontal headaches

Yuyao – middle of the eyebrow
→ Relieves eye fatigue & twitching

GB1 (Tongziliao) – outer corner of the eye
→ Supports vision & reduces dryness

🌿 “These points help relax the muscles around your eyes and bring blood circulation—so your eyes can recover naturally.”

💬 “If you’re staring at screens all day, your eyes need care too.”

Heart 7 (HT7), or Shenmen (“Spirit Gate”), is a primary acupuncture point located on the ulnar wrist crease, specialized for treating insomnia, anxiety, and heart-related disorders. It calms the mind and aids sleep by decreasing CNS agitation. For relief, apply firm, circular pressure to the depression on the pinky side of the inner wrist crease for 1–2 minutes.

Sore muscles slowing you down? Try cupping for faster recovery.

Cupping therapy helps improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and ease soreness, so you can get back in the game faster. Whether it’s post-workout fatigue or chronic tightness, cupping supports faster healing and better mobility.

Why and how long is a cupping session?

Cupping creates gentle suction that lifts the muscle and fascia instead of pressing down like a massage. It offers a benefit similar to deep tissue massage.
This helps improve circulation, release tight tissue, and reduce muscle tension.

That’s why many people feel relief in their neck, shoulders, and back in just one session.

Total appointment time: usually 30 - 60 minutes

Time cup Stay On: 5 - 15 minutes

Frequency: 1 -2 times per week

Quick. Simple. And deeply relaxing.

Acupuncture is an effective, drug-free option for addressing a wide range of prenatal and postnatal symptoms. It helps manage pregnancy by reducing back and pelvic pain, easing morning sickness, muscle tension and alleviating anxiety or insomnia.

Furthermore, acupuncture supports a healthy pregnancy by improving blood flow and balancing hormones, which can help prepare the body for labor while relaxing the body and calming the mind.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please let me know.
