Harmonizing Health: Acupuncture for Late Summer Imbalances

Late summer brings warmth and transformation, but it can also bring about imbalances in our well-being. In Chinese Medicine, this season corresponds to the Fire element and can lead to what’s known as summer damp-heat – an internal disharmony similar to excess heat and humidity in modern terms. Acupuncture, a traditional practice gaining modern recognition, […]

WARNING: Summerheat and Liver Surging!
