Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine

10/15/2026

Herbal medicine is one of my favorite parts of Chinese medicine, and it's also one of the most misunderstood.

Because herbs come from nature, it's easy to assume they're right for everyone. The right formula depends on your pattern, your health history, and any medications you take. Before I recommend anything, I like to talk through how you're sleeping, digesting, and feeling day to day, so your herbs work alongside acupuncture and lifestyle changes rather than on their own.

I'm always happy to talk herbs during your visit, and you can find out more about my practice at mayakronwellness.com.

September is Healthy Aging Month, a good time to talk about how acupuncture can support pain management, recovery, and overall well-being as we age.

Here’s some of what research is showing:

• Pain relief: Acupuncture can influence the nervous system and stimulate the release of the body’s natural pain-modulating chemicals, helping change the way pain signals are processed.

• Benefits beyond treatment: Research suggests that for some people who respond to acupuncture for chronic pain, improvements may continue even after a course of treatment has ended.

• Post-surgical recovery: Acupuncture is also being studied as a complementary therapy after surgery, with research looking at its potential role in pain management, physical recovery, and overall well-being.

Healthy aging is about more than managing symptoms. It is about supporting the whole body, no matter what challenges may come your way as you continue to age.

If you are curious about how acupuncture fits into your long-term wellness, give us a call. We’re here to help!

Stress doesn’t just affect your mind. It impacts your nervous system, too.

When stress becomes chronic, your body can get stuck in fight-or-flight mode, showing up as anxiety, poor sleep, tension, or that constant feeling of being on edge. For many people, it becomes difficult to shift back into a more regulated state.

Acupuncture can support a reset, helping regulate the nervous system and giving your body space to unwind.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in stress mode, this is a gentle place to start. Book an appointment today!

September is Pain Awareness Month, and it’s a good opportunity to talk about one of the most common reasons people seek acupuncture: pain.

Acupuncture is used to support many types of pain, including back and neck pain, headaches and migraines, joint pain, sports injuries, muscle tension, and chronic pain.

But how does acupuncture actually work? And what should you expect during a treatment?

In this post, I’m breaking down some of the basics—how acupuncture may influence pain and the nervous system, the different techniques I use, and what an individualized treatment can look like.

Pain is complex, and no two people experience it in exactly the same way. That’s why acupuncture treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Tech Neck Isn’t Just an Adult Problem

With school back in session, kids and teens are spending more time looking at laptops, tablets, and phones. Hours of looking down at screens can lead to tight neck and shoulder muscles, upper back pain, stiffness, and headaches.

Acupuncture can help relieve the muscle tension and discomfort associated with prolonged screen time. By targeting tight, overworked muscles, treatment can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support the body’s recovery from repetitive strain.

Encouraging regular movement breaks, keeping screens closer to eye level, and creating a comfortable study space can also make a difference.

If your child or teen is complaining about neck pain, tight shoulders, upper back discomfort, or headaches, acupuncture may be able to help.

Back to School, Back to Aches and Pains?

As kids and teens head back to school, changes in routine can sometimes bring neck pain, back pain, tight shoulders, headaches, and muscle tension.

Growth spurts can contribute too. As bones grow quickly, muscles and soft tissues may take time to adapt, leading to temporary tightness, stiffness, and discomfort. Add heavier backpacks, more time sitting at a desk, increased screen time, sports, and after-school activities, and growing bodies can start to feel the strain.

Acupuncture can be a gentle, drug-free way to help reduce muscle tension and pain, improve mobility, and support recovery in active, growing kids and teens.

If your child is regularly complaining about neck, shoulder, or back discomfort as the school year begins, acupuncture may be a helpful addition to their wellness routine.

A recent review that reminds us why we do what we do.

Fall sports are back!

With kids and teens getting back to practices, games, and busy schedules, we also tend to see more muscle soreness, tightness, and sports-related injuries.

A few simple reminders for a healthy season:

• Take time to warm up and cool down
• Don’t ignore ongoing aches or pains
• Stay hydrated
• Make rest and recovery a priority
• Make sure equipment and footwear fit properly

And remember, pain is your body’s way of telling you something. Addressing a small issue early can help keep it from becoming a bigger one.

Acupuncture can be a great addition to an athlete’s routine to help with muscle tension, soreness, recovery, and injury support.

Here’s to a healthy and active fall!
