πΈ Wind, cold and neck pain β here's what Chinese medicine has to say.
In TCM, the back of the neck is known as the "Wind Gate" β the point most vulnerable to external wind and cold. When cold air enters here, Qi and blood slow, muscles tighten, and that familiar stiffness sets in.
Sound familiar after a cold, blustery Wairarapa day?
A few gentle steps that help:
π§£ Wrap a scarf around your neck β it shields those key acupuncture points
πΏ Keep your upper back and shoulders warm outdoors
πββοΈ Book a regular acupuncture session to release tension and restore flow
Acupuncture is particularly supportive for wind-cold patterns β releasing tight muscles, improving circulation and helping your body's natural defences do their job.
