Harmonizing with Nature and go with the Flow:  A Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective

10/5/2023

Picture
As the vibrant hues of summer slowly fade into the golden embrace of autumn, we find ourselves at a pivotal juncture in the cycle of seasons. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), autumn is a time of transition, a season where nature's energy begins to withdraw, much like the leaves falling from trees. It is associated with the Metal element and corresponds to the Lung and Large Intestine meridians, offering profound insights into how we can harmonize our well-being during this time.
​
Nourishing Yin Energy:
The concept of Yin and Yang represents the balance of opposing forces. Autumn leans toward the Yin aspect, characterized by coolness, receptivity, and introspection. To maintain harmony, focus on nourishing your Yin energy. Incorporate seasonal foods such as pears, apples, and mushrooms into your diet. These foods not only support your Lung and Large Intestine meridians but also provide vital nutrients to keep you grounded and resilient during the season's shifts.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) can be a distressing condition, causing jaw pain, headaches, and discomfort. An alternative and increasingly recognized treatment for TMJ is acupuncture, a traditional Chinese therapy that aims to alleviate symptoms and promote overall well-being. Let’s explore how acupuncture can effectively treat TMJ and provide relief from its challenging effects.

Understanding TMJ
TMJ or temporomandibular joint, connects the jawbone to the skull. This joint is vital for chewing, talking, and various jaw movements. However, stress, teeth grinding, misalignment, or other factors can lead to TMJ-related issues, causing pain and discomfort in the jaw, face, neck, and even headaches.

Acupuncture's Role in TMJ Treatment
Acupuncture, a centuries-old Chinese practice, seeks to restore balance in the body by targeting specific points with very fine needles. It is a well known therapy for both pain relief and relaxation benefits, making it a great choice for treating TMJ disorder.

Did you know that Acupuncture and TCM have been used for 1000’s of years to improve lung health?

Perimenopause can start as young as 35 years old and last to the average menopausal age of 50. This is a transitionary time from a fertile state to a state of self nourishment. This is a natural cycle and stage of life. 
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is referred to as "The Second Spring". During this time, there is a decline in Kidney Jing, which is one's constitutional essence.  This consists of Kidney yin and Kidney yang.

Let's talk about Cancer Recovery. 

43% of Canadians will be diagnosed with Cancer in their lifetime. Over the last 25 years the most common types of Cancers are: Breast, Prostate, Lung, and Colorectal. T
hankfully, due to research and development, many cancers are now treatable. 

The treatments can vary depending on the size and stage of the cancer. Sometimes radical surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are necessary. Some patients are also candidates for immunotherapy. Unfortunately, these treatments come with some side effects that can be difficult to handle. Medications, (sometimes multiple medications), can be prescribed for these symptoms, however, these medications can cause other side effects. While going through cancer treatment, it is imperative that patients are able to sleep, eat, digest, and eliminate properly so it is really important that the symptoms are not ignored. 

I'm here to tell you that there are other options available to manage these side effects!
