You can’t reach the back seat. You can’t fasten your bra. And you cannot remember doing a single thing to cause this.

Frozen shoulder is frustrating because there often wasn’t an injury. It just started hurting — and then one day you realized the range was gone.

It’s especially common in women in their 40s–60s and in people with diabetes or thyroid conditions.

The classic signs?

Pain that’s worse at night.
You can’t sleep on that side.
Reaching behind you is the first thing to go.

Acupuncture can be a useful part of treatment alongside stretching and physical therapy — and I’d much rather see that shoulder early than after months of barely moving it.

If your shoulder is starting to feel suspicious, come see us.

🍂 Shuāng Jiàng (霜降) — Frost's Descent

The last solar term of autumn is here! As the leaves fall and the first frosts arrive, Chinese medicine reminds us that autumn is a season of both gathering and letting go.

In this week's newsletter, we're exploring the Chinese tradition of climbing hills to enjoy the autumn scenery, why some foods become sweeter after frost, and the custom of eating persimmons for good fortune.

Plus, a delicious recipe for warm baked persimmons with walnuts and honey!

Most people think about acupuncture when they’re already sick.

I’d rather see you before that.

In Chinese medicine, we don’t only think about treating illness once it arrives. There’s a long tradition of supporting the body before the season that tends to knock you down.

That means paying attention to sleep, stress, digestion, energy and what we call wei qi — your protective qi.

Regular acupuncture is about tending to those patterns before you’re running on empty.

You don’t have to wait until you feel terrible to take care of yourself.

10/20/2026

You’re the one who holds it together while everyone else is sick.

Then, the minute everybody’s better, you’re flat on your back.

After weeks of broken sleep, eating on the run, worrying, caregiving and keeping everything moving, your own reserves are depleted.

In Chinese medicine, we talk about wei qi — the protective qi at the surface of the body that helps us respond to the outside world.

And heading into cold and flu season, we pay a lot of attention to supporting it.

You spend a lot of energy taking care of everyone else. Come let us take care of you for a change.

It’s finally cooling off outside, but somehow you’re still the warmest person in every room.

Hot flashes. Night sweats. Waking up soaked, throwing off the covers, getting cold, pulling them back on — and starting the next day exhausted.

In Chinese medicine, we often see this as a depletion of yin — the cooling, moistening resources that help keep the body regulated.

And that dryness can show up elsewhere, too. Dry skin, dry eyes, vaginal dryness — they can be pieces of the same pattern.

Fall is already a dry season, so you may notice these symptoms more right now.

If it’s October and you’re still sleeping with one leg outside the covers, come see us.

It’s not a cold. You’ve been wondering that for three weeks.

The throat clearing. One stuffy nostril. Morning cough. That tickle you can’t quite clear. And the foggy, tired feeling that just won’t quit.

Fall allergies don’t always look like sneezing and itchy eyes. Postnasal drip can show up as coughing, hoarseness, congestion and constant throat clearing.

In Chinese medicine, Fall is Lung season — and this is something we see a lot of right now.

You don’t have to spend the whole season congested and foggy.

Come in and let’s get you breathing easier

Fall is the season of letting go — which sounds lovely until you actually have to name what you’re putting down.

Mine?

Keeping everyone else’s schedule in my head.
Saying yes too quickly.
Treating rest like something I have to earn.
Clothes that fit me four years ago.
Always needing to explain.

In Chinese medicine, Fall belongs to the Lungs and Large Intestine — the systems associated with taking in and letting go.

So maybe “just let it go” isn’t always that simple.

What are you putting down this Fall?

10/10/2026

I talk about “patterns” a lot in the treatment room. So what does that actually mean?

Take insomnia. One person can’t fall asleep — hot, restless, mind racing. Another falls asleep fine but wakes at 3 a.m. A third wakes too early, exhausted but unable to go back to sleep.

Same complaint. Different patterns. Different treatments.

That’s why I ask about things that seem unrelated. I’m not just treating the diagnosis. I’m looking at how your whole system is behaving.

Because your symptoms make more sense when we look at them together.

Come tell me what’s been going on. We’ll look for the pattern together.

🍂 Hán Lù (寒露) — Cold Dew has arrived!

The mornings are colder, the leaves are falling, and our bodies are beginning to feel the shift. In Chinese medicine, autumn is a time to gather inward, protect against cold and dryness, and recognize when we need a little more rest.

Our newest newsletter explores seasonal fatigue, the last chrysanthemums of autumn, and a comforting Chinese steamed egg recipe.

10/08/2026

In Chinese medicine, Fall is Lung season, and the emotion associated with the Lungs is grief. The light is shortening. Everything outside is letting go. We’re not completely separate from those rhythms.

And not all grief is personal. Sometimes we’re carrying what’s happening around us, too.

The goal isn’t to stop feeling. It’s to have enough capacity that the feelings don’t flatten you.

And I’m pro every tool in the toolbox. Medication. Therapy. Acupuncture. Community. Rest. Acupuncture doesn’t have to replace anything that’s helping you — it can simply be another layer of support.

For your Lungs. For your nervous system. For you.
