Alberta Acupuncturists: We need your help, will you help us?

📣 ACUPUNCTURISTS: CAN YOU HELP WAINWRIGHT?

💚 Your skills could make a meaningful difference.

YARP (YYC Acupuncture Relief Project) is looking for volunteer acupuncturists willing to travel to Wainwright, Alberta, to provide supportive ear acupuncture treatments.

We’re looking for practitioners who could offer just one day a week or a weekend to help make these treatments available to people who could benefit from additional support.

✨ Here’s how you can help:

* Offer NADA/ATP ear acupuncture treatments
* Volunteer one day a week or on a weekend, based on your availability
* Help support nervous system regulation, stress relief and resilience
* All treatment supplies will be donated - just bring your skills and compassion!

You don’t have to commit to a full-time role to make a difference. Even a single day of your time could help us expand access to care.

🙌 Can you lend a hand? Or know an acupuncturist who might be interested?

📩 Please email Vanessa at [email protected] with your interest, availability.

Please share this post with your acupuncture colleagues. Let’s come together as a profession to support Wainwright!

🌾🐸 ACUPUNCTURE POINT SPOTLIGHT: SPLEEN 6: “THREE YIN CROSSING” 🐸🌾

As we move through Late Summer, another favourite acupuncture point to highlight is Spleen 6 (SP6), also known as Sanyinjiao - “Three Yin Crossing.”

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Late Summer is associated with the Earth element, the Spleen and Stomach, nourishment and digestion. SP6 is an important point for supporting the Spleen and is often used when we want to help the body transform and transport nourishment effectively.

🌿 Why is SP6 so well suited to Late Summer?
SP6 is traditionally used to:
✨ Support healthy digestion
✨ Strengthen the Spleen and support Qi
✨ Help regulate the body's fluids
✨ Promote nourishment and balance
✨ Support relaxation and overall wellbeing

SP6 gets its name because it is where the three yin channels of the leg - Spleen, Liver and Kidney - intersect. This makes it a particularly versatile point in acupuncture.

🌾 Late Summer is a time to nourish, digest and ground - physically and emotionally. Rather than constantly doing more, this season invites us to build our reserves and create a strong foundation as we prepare for Fall.

SP6 is a beautiful point for this season because it reminds us that how well we nourish ourselves matters just as much as how much we accomplish.

🌾🐸 ACUPUNCTURE POINT SPOTLIGHT: STOMACH 36 “LEG THREE MILES” 🐸🌾

As we move through Late Summer, one of my favourite acupuncture points to talk about is Stomach 36 (ST36), also known as Zusanli — “Leg Three Miles.”

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Late Summer is associated with the Earth element, the Spleen and Stomach, nourishment and digestion. ST36 is a particularly important point for supporting these systems.

🌿 Why is ST36 so well suited to Late Summer?
ST36 is traditionally used to:
✨ Support digestion and appetite
✨ Strengthen the body's Qi
✨ Support energy and vitality
✨ Help nourish and replenish the body
✨ Promote overall resilience and wellbeing

The name “Leg Three Miles” comes from the traditional idea that stimulating this point could give a traveller enough energy to walk another three miles - even when they were tired. 🥾

Late Summer invites us to slow down, nourish ourselves and build a strong foundation before we move into the more inward energy of Fall.

ST36 is a beautiful acupuncture point for this time of year because it reflects that same principle: nourish the foundation so you have the energy to keep going. 🌾

🍂 How to begin transitioning your body and routine toward fall

If you’re feeling like summer flew by and you’re not quite ready for fall yet, this is a great time to pause, nourish yourself and reconnect with what your body needs.

🐸💙 What is one thing you can do this week to slow down and nourish yourself?

09/04/2026

🍂🌾 WELCOME TO LATE SUMMER 🌾🍂

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we recognize Late Summer as its own season - a time of transition between the outward energy of summer and the inward energy of fall.

Late Summer is associated with the Earth element, which is connected with nourishment, digestion, grounding and feeling supported.

It’s a wonderful time of year to begin slowing down a little, nourishing your body with wholesome foods, getting enough rest and creating a little more balance in your daily routine.

🌿 A few Late Summer reminders:
• Choose warm, nourishing foods when possible
• Support healthy digestion
• Take time to rest and recharge
• Spend time in nature
• Notice where you may be overextending yourself
• Begin preparing your body and mind for the transition into fall

Acupuncture can also be a wonderful way to support your body through seasonal transitions and help you feel more balanced as the seasons change.

🐸 At Blue Frog Wellness, we’re big believers in working with the seasons rather than against them.

How are you feeling as we move toward fall? 🍂
