FREE Acupuncture for Veterans & Military tomorrow!! 11am - 1pm **reservations required**
🥑🍎 GUT HEALTH 🍎🥑 

When we talk about digestion with our patients, it usually becomes “oh, my digestion is great! As long as I remember to take my probiotics or stay away from “x, y & z” foods, I have no issues.  Or “Occasionally, I may have to take something for _______ , but not always………” 

In health, our bodies SHOULD be able to fully function (start to finish) without regular external intervention/supplementation; and yes, this includes taking probiotics! 

We are not against supplementation with a purpose! We love probiotics with a purpose! All of this should be done as a means of restoring the bodies natural balance. In balance, and the bodies truest/most optimal expression of health, they are 
not necessary.

Corrective care and maintenance/prevention care are two very different conversations!! 

Without any intervention/supplementation, which of these boxes would you check!?!
Veterans & Military | Why NADA Acupuncture? It is a simple and effective treatment for veterans and active-duty military that focuses on five specific points in the ear to help with:
 ✨Stress and anxiety
 ✨Trauma recovery
 ✨Better sleep
 ✨Addiction recovery and cravings

We offer this treatment free of charge during our bi-monthly clinics -- HAPPENING THIS SATURDAY!!

When: 2nd and 4th Saturdays | 11 AM – 1 PM
Where: Jing Shen Healing Arts, 322 2nd Street West, Kalispell
**Appointments are limited, so reach out to reserve your spot**
✨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.
Fire Cupping is a technique we utilize frequently in our clinic, often alongside acupuncture.  In Chinese medicine, cupping serves as an excellent standalone therapy for relieving muscle tension and acute symptoms, making it a fantastic option for prevention and maintenance! 

However, if you're dealing with injuries—whether new or old—or have chronic issues, acupuncture is typically the more effective choice. These sessions often incorporate cupping as an adjunct therapy! Chronic symptoms can indicate deeper underlying issues that need to be addressed. 

While cupping can provide temporary relief, it doesn’t tackle the root cause of your discomfort. For persistent pain or frequent injuries, acupuncture is key to unlocking long-term wellness.

Chinese Medicine & Chronic Pain | Our clinic sees many patients suffering from chronic pain. Many come to us as a last resort, exhausted by pharmaceutical treatments and unconvinced by doctors who tell them they must simply accept their pain. Often times, these patients have tried various avenues, including other doctors, specialists, massage therapy, chiropractic care, and physical therapy & we become the last resort! 

We do witness many of these individuals achieve pain relief and successfully graduate from our care. 

FULL DISCLOSURE: These success stories typically involve a combination of treatment methods such as acupuncture, fire cupping, and sometimes traditional herbal remedies. Ultimately, we help to restore normal function and allow these individuals to return to a fulfilling life again!
Why do we dispense small quantities of our herbal powders!?

 ✨The primary answer - SAFETY!
First and foremost we are Doctors of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine!! Most of the OTC herbal products we’ve formulated are intended for short term use and acute situations like a cold/flu ailments, sinus infections, digestive support, ect…

For the general health & wellness formulas, our intention is to “micro-dose” the herbs, providing small consistent messages for the body and mind to get things nudged in the right direction and feed into your self-care practices!

 ✨Secondary answer - FOLLOWUP!
Even for non-patients, we love for you to come back by for a chat! With many formulas, we are comfortable providing you with a refill, but we need to make sure it’s still appropriate. We may also adjust dosing up or down and even potentially recommend a different formula. It’s very likely that as you get better the formula you started with is no longer the right fit for getting you back to health.

Sometimes there are also situations in which we may strongly suggest working one on one with one of our practitioners due to the nature of your goals; it all depends!😉

If you have more personal questions or are interested in more details, you can schedule a consultation or just stop by the shop during business hours and we can guide you from there
What does it mean to stay true to the essence and classical roots of this medicine? It opens up a fascinating conversation about a tradition that has stood the test of time. In a world where trends come and go, how do we recognize what is genuine amidst fleeting fads?

There’s something profound in realizing that the most impactful tool we bring is ourselves. What does this reveal about the role of the practitioner? Perhaps it reminds us that our presence, understanding, and authenticity are essential. Could it be that the true power of classical Chinese Medicine lies not in advanced technology but in the simplicity of needles, moxibustion, fire cupping, and herbs, united with a practitioner’s depth of knowledge and empathy?

And as practitioners, what does it mean to commit to our own growth and integrity? How do we embody the principles we wish to impart to our patients?
🌿 Huang Qi 🌿 Huang Qi, also known as Astragalus, is a fundamental component of traditional Chinese medicine recognized for its immune-boosting capabilities. This herb is esteemed for its potential to increase energy levels, support overall health, and promote longevity.

✨ Remember ✨ While Huang Qi is wonderful, Chinese medicine emphasizes the importance of combination. No herb works alone; the true power lies in finding the right blend to suit your individual needs. 🌱

Curious about finding a combination to support your health? Reach out, and let’s explore together!
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.
This video demonstrates a traditional Chinese medicine technique known as bleeding therapy, using pricking and superficial vein methods.

By releasing a small amount of blood—just a few drops—this approach helps promote circulation, clear heat, and move stagnation. 

Bleeding therapy is used selectively in specific clinical cases and is performed with sterile technique, precision, and patient comfort as priorities.

✨ Sometimes, a small release can go a long way toward promoting circulation, relieving discomfort, and supporting the body’s natural return to balance✨
We have tiny tools for the tiny humans - NEEDLES NEVER REQUIRED! 😉🙌 For our kiddos we use a needle-less technique called Shonishin which allows us to active the meridian channels and acupuncture points without actually inserting needles into the skin.

We also like to combine various Essential Blends from @ancientwaysapothecary with gentle manual meridian therapy techniques, nourishing our tiny patients, leaving them calm and relaxed!💕
✨Five Element Acupuncture & Mental Health ✨ While many people associate Chinese medicine and acupuncture primarily with physical ailments like pain, it's essential to highlight the incredible work we do for mental and emotional support at Jing Shen! This is one of the most BEAUTIFUL aspects of practicing CLASSICAL FIVE ELEMENT ACUPUNCTURE.

We are proud to offer assistance with a wide range of mental health challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, worry, fear, grief, overwhelm, and even PTSD and trauma recovery—encompassing physical, mental, emotional, and sexual aspects.

If you're struggling or just need someone to talk to, please don't hesitate to reach out or give us a call!! Your mental well-being matters to us! 😍
When you signup for a package of Acupuncture visits with jing Shen, the first bag of raw herbs is on us!!

Why!?! To see if you like the process of cooking then and drinking them!

Herbs can be an excellent support to your acupuncture treatments!! We start with the “raw” tea decoctions because they are easiest to customize and strongest version of the herbs. Want to do herbs, not interested in the “tea” form, we can explore powders and/or herbal tinctures if needed!
✨Paths to Getting Started✨30-minute Consultation: Meet in person with one of our practitioners and ask them all the questions you want! We are happy to discuss specific questions you have around your health &/or life goals, talk more about Chinese medicine (Five Element acupuncture, Chinese herbs, cupping therapies, etc…) in general, share our personal experience as practitioners, our training & education! It is also just a great opportunity to come in & meet us in person as well as get a glimpse inside the clinic!

✨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.
✨ 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! During this session, we will take some time to get to know you, understand your goals and, go through your medical/case history. 

Our goal is to get complete picture of your current state of health, learn more about the journey that led you here and also understand where you are trying to go (life &/or health). In addition to the conversation, we will also begin treatment on this day!🙌💕 **Call/Txt/DM to schedule**
We LOVE our raw herbal pharmacy!!! Aside from the fact they are fun to work with and beautiful to look at…

 ….they are also a favorite because they allow us to customize and tailor the formulas to the patient, their goals and their needs in order to address the underlying cause of their symptoms.
✨Understanding the Pulse in Chinese Medicine ✨ 

In Chinese medicine, the pulse is not just a measure of heart rate; it encompasses various characteristics that reflect the state of the body's organs and systems. We typically evaluate several aspects of the pulse, including:
 ✨ Rate | The speed at which the pulse beats.
 ✨ Depth | How easily the pulse can be felt at different levels (superficial vs. deep).
 ✨ Quality | The texture or nature of the pulse (e.g., thin, wiry, soft, slippery).

Each of these characteristics can indicate specific imbalances or conditions within the body, helping to form a comprehensive picture of your health.
In the context of healthcare, the term "holistic" encompasses a multifaceted approach to understanding and treating individuals. At Jing Shen, we interpret holistic healthcare as a commitment to looking beyond surface-level symptoms and engaging in a thorough exploration of each patient's unique health journey. This means fostering a deep understanding of their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Holistic healthcare requires us to actively listen to our patients, allowing us to gain insights into their experiences and needs. By dedicating time to investigate and inquire about their health, we can tailor our approach to suit their specific circumstances. Each patient is seen as an individual with distinct challenges and strengths, necessitating a personalized strategy for care.

Our primary objective in these moments is to facilitate the restoration of the body’s natural rhythms. We believe that when we address health issues comprehensively—considering all dimensions of a person's well-being—we can effectively influence their overall health and quality of life. This integrated perspective allows us to support our patients not just physically but also emotionally and spiritually, promoting a true sense of balance and harmony within their lives.
Our first real, “BIG” conversation — intended to spark thought, curiosity and questions from all sides of healthcare…both in providers and within the community!! **FULL EPISODE on Spotify, YouTube, Apple & Amazon Music**

Our approach to cupping is rooted in tradition, utilizing the unique technique of Fire Cupping. This method involves heating glass cups to create a vacuum that gently draws the skin into the cup, enhancing circulation and promoting healing. While it may look like a party trick, this form of practice  allows for deeper results than plastic or silicone alternatives.
At JING SHEN HEALING ARTS, we offer our herbal products in varying forms, including capsules, powders(granules), and tinctures. However, as Doctors of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, we have a passion for remaining rooted in maintaining the traditions of these medicinals; we love the herbs in raw form!
✨Paths to Getting Started✨30-minute Consultation: Meet in person with one of our practitioners and ask them all the questions you want!

It is also just a great opportunity to come in & meet us in person as well as get a glimpse inside the clinic!
🔥FIRE CUPPING: THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE 🔥 Cupping should be a soothing experience! When performed correctly, patients often find it quite comfortable. Many of our acupuncture clients describe the sensation as a gentle suction—definitely not painful. If you ever feel any discomfort, your practitioner can easily adjust the suction level for your comfort. 

If you've had a painful experience in the past, it may reflect more on the practitioner's technique than on the cupping itself. There's absolutely no reason to endure discomfort during a session; in fact, most of our patients look forward to their treatments and enjoy a relaxing experience. 

Ready to try fire cupping? We promise you’ll love it! 🔥✨
