“BE TEACHABLE. You are not always right.”
Did you know that if you are experience fatigue or low(er) energy levels, you may not be a good candidate for cupping!?! 

When you’re feeling fatigued, it can signal that your body is in a weakened state and needs gentle care to rebuild its energy. Cupping in these cases should be approached with caution to avoid overtaxing your system.

Our approach if you’re experiencing fatigue, we’ll:
✔️ Assess whether cupping is appropriate for your current state - the primary assessment happens through Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis. 
✔️ Modify the treatment to ensure it supports, rather than overwhelms, your body.
✔️ Explore other gentle therapies or techniques to help restore your energy safely.
🚨REMINDER 🚨HOLIDAY HOURS | This year, we will be closing for a winter break beginning Tuesday, December 24th - Wednesday, January 1st! Patients make sure you get on the schedule for the following dates if you are around and need some extra support through the holiday!! 

✨ Monday | December 23rd | 10:30 - 5pm
✨ Thursday | January 2nd | 10:30 - 5pm
SLEEP as a key pillar of health— it’s not just about how long you sleep. 

Sleep health includes:
🔹 Falling Asleep
Do you struggle to unwind at night? Difficulty falling asleep often stems from stress, anxiety, or an overactive mind.
🔹 Staying Asleep
Waking up frequently or at specific times during the night could point to imbalances in your body’s internal systems.
🔹 Sleep Quality
Even if you’re sleeping through the night, poor-quality sleep can leave you feeling tired, unfocused, or unwell.
🔹 Dream Patterns
Excessive or unsettling dreams—or even a complete absence of dreams—can reflect deeper patterns of imbalance affecting your emotional, mental health and energy levels. 

Do you struggle in one or more of these areas? We should chat!
CUPPING FYI…TURNING YOU PURPLE IS NOT THE GOAL! 😉 

common misconceptions about cupping:
- the dark ‘marks’ mean it’s working
- it helps you to “detox” (another one of those buzz words we love so much)
- only athletes use cupping therapy

Did you know cupping is A BRANCH WITHIN CHINESE MEDICINE? 
Massage therapists, chiropractors and physical therapists sometimes practice cupping as an adjunct therapy to their main scope; what’s missing, however, is the DIAGNOSTIC component of their training and practice! 

As Chinese medicine practitioners we can learn a lot about a patient within one cupping session just by observing:
1. How much tension (aka, suction) to use with the cups - more tension is not better, too little tension tells you nothing.
2. How quickly someone begins to present with “marks” during a session.
3. The color of the “marks” left behind.
4. Checking in with how the marks continue to present over the next 24 hours - do they get darker or begin to fade?
5. How long do the marks take to fade completely?

While acquiring these “marks” are likely and not abnormal, they are not the sole goal/objective of a session. 
No “marks” after a proper session is an EXCELLENT sign; this happens over the course of treatment with consistent work! 

Certain kinds of ‘marks’/colors can equal an imbalance within the system, these imbalances will also be evident in other ways, including pulse presentation. This is what makes proper technique and training essential!
"I'd be more aware of that quiet person than that loud person. That quiet person is being observant and observant people are always precise."

We use a traditional approach to cupping called Fire Cupping. Fire cupping involves using a flame placed within a glass cup, heating the inside of the cup to create a vacuum within the glass bulb. The cup is then placed directly on the skin over the area that needs to be cupped, causing the glass to seal over the skin.
Treat the Patient, Not the Condition...

As with any chronic condition, treatment is never as simple as "...treating ______ (symptom/condition)..."

CLASSICAL FIVE ELEMENT ACUPUNCTURE teaches us that each patient who makes their way into our office has a unique story and experience of their symptoms.

Sleep issues can affect every aspect of your health and well-being. Classical Acupuncture offers an individualized approach to address sleep concerns, helping you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and experience deeper, more restorative rest!
✨A Few Key Points Can Make a Big Difference ✨ The Classical approach to acupuncture holds a philosophy of "less is more."

We don’t believe in overloading your body with dozens of needles. Instead, we take a targeted approach, selecting a few precise points to promote your body’s natural healing process. Fewer needles? -- it is about working smarter, not harder. 

This focused approach helps restore balance and relieve discomfort without overwhelming your system.

✨Chinese Medicine Pulse Diagnosis✨

Pulse diagnosis is a fundamental diagnostic tool in Chinese Medicine that provides valuable insights into a patient’s health. By assessing the qualities of the pulse, practitioners can gain a deeper understanding of the underlying reasons for your symptoms.

Incorporating pulse diagnosis into your treatment plan offers a holistic approach to understanding and addressing a patients's health concerns. It not only helps us identify the root causes of symptoms but also serves as an essential tool for monitoring and guiding your healing journey.

**The Beginning of Winter (立冬 Lì Dōng)** In the traditional Chinese calendar, the official beginning of winter, known as Lì Dōng (立冬), typically falls around November 7th. This date marks a significant transition into a new seasonal qi node that honors the unique energy associated with winter.

~This Winter, Let Yourself Rest ~ 

"During the winter it is natural to feel a little sleepier, slower and less motivated. It’s the season of stillness and conservation. It’s a period of hibernation and our time to rest, slow down and revitalize our reserves. Winter is perfect time to reflect on our health, replenish our energy, conserve our strength and heal on a deeper level."
Moxa is always an extra yummy addition to treatments with the cooler seasons!!! 💕
✨ GETTING STARTED ✨ New Patient Intake - This is for those who know they want to get started with care & is step #1 for all new patients, whether you are interested in acupuncture, herbs or both!

Honoring Winter’s Energy ❄️ During this time, tune into nature’s cues: shorter days and longer nights encourage us to rest more and reduce excessive activity. Integrating grounding practices like meditation, gentle movement, and warming foods such as soups and broths can help us align with winter’s nurturing energy. This preservation phase allows us to replenish the core energy that will sustain us through the dynamic growth of spring.

This winter, embrace the wisdom of Lì Dōng by giving yourself permission to slow down, conserve energy, and nourish your inner self. In the stillness of winter, we create space for renewal and new growth. 🌌
Chinese Medicine consultations are a great opportunity to meet face to face, sit and discuss your case, answer any questions you may have and learn about how we can help.  We will share our point of view from where we are now to what it will take to reach your goals. This visit is only a discussion; NO TREATMENTS ARE INCLUDED. We will explore treatment options which may include a combination of acupuncture, herbs, and/or coaching!
Experience the therapeutic benefits of Moxibustion, a topical herbal treatment that utilizes warmed, dry mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) applied to acupuncture points. This practice is known to alleviate pain, reduce emotional stress, and enhance immune function.

🌌 **The Beginning of Winter (立冬 Lì Dōng)** 🌌

In the traditional Chinese calendar, the official beginning of winter, known as Lì Dōng (立冬), typically falls around November 7th. This date marks a significant transition into a new seasonal qi node that honors the unique energy associated with winter. During this time, we are encouraged to slow down, preserve our resources, and nurture our essential reserves.

Unlike the Western calendar, which often sees winter commencing in December, Lì Dōng is celebrated earlier to acknowledge nature’s subtle but powerful shift. As temperatures begin to drop and daylight hours shorten, the world enters a state of dormancy and quiet. This period invites reflection and preparation for the colder months ahead, emphasizing the importance of rest and rejuvenation in alignment with the rhythms of nature. 

By observing Lì Dōng, individuals can cultivate a deeper understanding of how seasonal changes affect both the environment and personal well-being, embracing the opportunity to harmonize with winter's introspective energy.
✨Chinese Medicine Pulse Diagnosis | Monitoring Progress ✨

Pulse diagnosis is not only useful for initial assessment but also plays a crucial role in monitoring progress throughout your treatment. During each session, practitioners will check your pulse to determine how your body is responding to acupuncture or other therapeutic interventions. This real-time feedback allows for adjustments to be made in treatment strategies to ensure optimal outcomes.

Additionally, tracking changes in your pulse over several sessions can provide insights into whether the therapeutic approaches are effective. For instance:
 ✨Are there noticeable improvements in pulse quality?
 ✨Is there a consistent change in depth or rate?
 ✨Are symptoms alleviating as anticipated?
By regularly assessing these factors, practitioners can better tailor treatments to meet your evolving needs and help you achieve your health goals.

Tinctures have proven to be an excellent option for those who do not wish to cook their formulas and/or do not “appreciate” the flavors of an herbal decoction. Tinctures do go down quicker and easier!

Tinctures can be a bit limited in their ease of customization. However, through our research and learning, we have added a tincture pharmacy that expands our already extensive herbal offerings. This addition allows us to create, customize, and personalize tincture formulas for patients.

While the raw herbs will always be more potent, the tinctures have proven quite effective. Merging these approaches will make our herbal remedies more effective and accessible to those who previously could not benefit from our raw herb offerings.
REMINDER | NEXT WEEK is our new time slot of our FREE Veteran & Military acupuncture clinic!! Join us for 30 minute treatments between 11am - 1pm! *Space is limited, appointments required* did we mention it is FREE!?!
✨Women's Health and Classical Acupuncture✨ Classical acupuncture has been increasingly recognized for its potential benefits in addressing various aspects of women's health. This holistic approach focuses on restoring balance within the body’s energy systems, thereby promoting overall well-being.

💕Key Areas of Focus💕
- Menstrual Disorders | Acupuncture can be effective in managing conditions such as irregular periods, dysmenorrhea (painful periods), and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). By targeting specific acupuncture points, practitioners aim to regulate hormonal fluctuations and alleviate associated symptoms.
- Fertility Support | Many women seeking to conceive have turned to acupuncture as a complementary therapy. Research suggests that acupuncture may enhance fertility by improving ovarian function, regulating menstrual cycles, and reducing stress—factors that can impact conception.
- Pregnancy and Labor | Acupuncture is also utilized during pregnancy to address common discomforts such as nausea, fatigue, and back pain. Additionally, it may aid in preparing the body for labor and can be used to manage labor pain effectively.
- Menopause Management | As women transition into menopause, acupuncture may provide relief from symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. The goal is to promote hormonal balance and support emotional well-being during this phase of life.
🔥CUPPING & CHINESE MEDICINE🔥
At Jing Shen Healing Arts, we use a traditional approach to cupping called Fire Cupping. Fire cupping involves using a flame placed within a glass cup, heating the inside of the cup to create a vacuum within the glass bulb. The warmed cup is placed directly on the skin over the area that needs to be cupped, causing the glass to seal over the skin.

Our practitioners like to practice our medicine authentically. Admittedly the fire in the cups looks like a cool party trick; however, fire cupping allows us to do things with glass cups that you cannot do with plastic or silicone cups. The results can be amazing when included as part of a customized treatment plan and used in conjunction with acupuncture, herbs, or other available services!
