Your cramps might be asking for more than a heating pad. 🩸

In Chinese medicine, we don’t treat every painful period the same.

Is it Qi stagnation? Blood stasis? Cold? Deficiency?

Each pattern calls for a different approach, and nutrition is part of the conversation.

🥣 Warm, cooked meals to support digestion and nourishment.

🫚 Ginger + cinnamon for warmth and traditional circulatory support.

🥬 Dark leafy greens for magnesium, iron, and essential nutrients.

🍵 Red dates + goji berries to traditionally nourish Blood and support recovery.

The goal isn’t just to manage cramps. It’s to understand the pattern behind your inflammation.

At ACUPUNK NYC, we combine acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and individualized nutrition counseling to support menstrual health.

✨ Your cycle tells a story. Let’s listen.

Persistent or severe menstrual pain isn’t something to normalize. Conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, and fibroids may require medical evaluation. TCM nutrition is complementary care, not a replacement for diagnosis or treatment.

One of the lesser-known applications of acupuncture, but one I’ve seen meaningful results with over the years: shingles-related nerve pain.

The rash may heal, but the nerve pain can linger for months—or even years.

This is known as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), a complication of shingles that can cause burning, tingling, hypersensitivity, and sharp, electric-like pain long after the blisters disappear.

How acupuncture may help:

• Modulate nerve pain and hypersensitivity
• Support nervous system regulation
• Improve comfort, sleep, and quality of life

Through acupuncture and electroacupuncture, when appropriate, we work to address persistent nerve discomfort.

In Chinese medicine, we also focus on moving Qi and Blood and restoring balance along the affected channels.

The rash may be gone, but your recovery doesn’t have to stop there.

Acupuncture may be a valuable complement to conventional treatment for postherpetic neuralgia.

Enjoy a warm cup of TCM herbal tea after every appointment. 🍵🌿

Our in-studio blends are thoughtfully balanced to be gentle and nourishing, because in Chinese medicine, herbal formulas are never one-size-fits-all.

Looking for something more personalized? Dr. Alex can create a custom herbal formula tailored to your individual needs during a TCM nutrition consultation.

Rooted in tradition. Tailored to you.

🤰 * If you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding, please consult Dr. Alex before enjoying any herbal teas. Not all herbs are pregnancy-safe, and even nourishing blends should be selected with your individual needs and stage of pregnancy in mind.

Did you know pregnancy can trigger carpal tunnel syndrome—even if you’ve never experienced it before? 🤰

Numb fingers, tingling hands, and waking up in the middle of the night with wrist pain? Welcome to the pregnancy symptom nobody warned you about.

Hormonal changes and increased fluid retention during pregnancy can put pressure on the median nerve, triggering pregnancy-related carpal tunnel syndrome.

📍At ACUPUNK NYC, we use acupuncture and, when clinically appropriate, carefully selected electroacupuncture protocols to help manage discomfort and support nerve function.

Because prenatal care goes way beyond the baby bump.
