Originating in China, acupuncture is one of the most commonly used systems of medicine in the world. It is approximately 3,500 years old and involves the insertion of very fine needles into points along the network of channels called meridians. These meridians span the entire body and are understood as energetic highways. They conduct the bodies’ vital energy, stimulating electrical conductivity and movement of the bodies’ fluids, blood, and signaling the deepest systems and ...organs of the body to regain homeostasis. One of the fundamental theories of acupuncture is that where there is pain, there is stagnation. Acupuncture moves stagnation and harmonizes imbalance.

It’s Self-Care Sunday! One of our favorite things to practice is meditation It’s a relaxing way to be in the moment, center yourself, and gives you a huge productivity boost. Meditation is a great way to learn more about yourself, reduce and manage stress, and increase patience and tolerance. Start by getting into a comfortable position either sitting or laying down. Close your eyes and simply focus your attention on your breath without controlling its pace or intensity If your mind wanders, return your focus back to your breath Start by trying this for 3-4 minutes and try it for longer periods of time. #UFWC #selfcaresunday #selfcare #sunday #meditation #concentration #healing #health #wellness #meditate #selfimprovement

Celebrating an amazing first 10 years

In Chinese Herbal Medicine, Autumn is linked to the element metal which is characterized by the lungs and large intestine. At first glance they seem to have little in common with each other, but in Traditional Chinese Medicine things are seen more energetically than physically. The bowel is the organ of elimination and is responsible for eliminating waste. Only when the body is cleansed of toxic matter can it receive the more refined energy brought by the lungs. During the ch...ange of seasons we become more prone to bronchial infections and sinusitis. Our allergies are amplified and issues like asthma and heaviness of the chest can appear. Here are some things you can do to maintain your lungs and large intestine health this fall: Deep Breathing Exercises: Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth in counts of five. Reorganize, Clean, and Donate: All of these activities are liberating and are in harmony with the autumn season and strengthen the lungs function of letting go. Eat Beneficial Fall Foods: With the weather cooling down it’s important to eat less cooling foods and opt for warmer foods that are easier to digest. Foods like ginger, garlic, cinnamon, chilli, ginger and onions help bring your defensive qi to the surface of the body to fight off external pathogens. Wear a Scarf: The nape of the neck is where wind can most easily enter the body and cause illnesses. Stay warm! We recommend trying @appliedbotanicals Herbal Honey Cough and Throat Syrup for additional throat and lung support. #UFWC #ChineseHerbalMedicine #autumn #fall #metal #lungs #lunghealth #largeintestine #acupuncture #functionalmedicine #health #holistic
