When we had our first birthday giveaway, we asked you to share your questions with us!Here's a question from @virgomagic: "Is acupuncture on legs, arms, and head (as in a community acupuncture setting) as effective as treatment on your back or abdomen?"⠀ ⠀ We had our #cliccoven babe Leah answer this one: “I spent the first 8 years of my acupuncture practice mainly as a community acupuncturist, while offering private treatments as well, so I've been practicing of both types of treatments years. There are many styles of acupuncture - similar to there being many styles of painting, or cooking. Each acupuncturist gravitates towards a particular style which they find effective for their patients.⠀ ⠀ One style of acupuncture which I have grown to love is known as “Distal Needle Acupuncture” or DNA. This style places needles distal (or far away) from the site of discomfort. For example, I often choose points in the feet to treat headaches, or needle a patient’s head to treat plantar fasciitis or heel pain. This is generally what is used in community settings, and it works very well! ⠀ ⠀ The closer you get to the fingers and toes, the more dense the nerve tissue and therefore the more sensitive to stimuli (AKA needling) these parts of our body are. Stimulation signals the brain to release natural pain-killing chemicals, and to stimulate blood flow to the site of pain or imbalance. Needling areas of higher nerve density like the hands and feet = more brain stimulation = quick healing. ⠀ ⠀ BOTH community acupuncture utilizing distal needling techniques and private acupuncture utilizing many styles work very well for pain, emotional imbalances, digestive disorders, or whatever else you may be seeing your acupuncturist for. The way to choose which one is right for you has more to do with which kind of setting you feel comfortable in, drawn to, or is most financially accessible! Some people love the feeling of community that a community clinic provides, while others need to have the quiet alone time and one-on-one attention of private treatments. In either setting, you will be receiving highly effective treatments, no matter what style of acupuncture is utilized.”
Y’all are loving these book suggestions, so we are going to keep ‘em coming! This is “Healing with Whole Foods” by Paul Pitchford, a go-to reference on East Asian food therapy and healing nutrition, with a sprinkling of Western nutritional science, and loads of simple, nourishing recipes. This book is a beast, one of those hefty titles that deserves a special, easy-to-reach spot on your book shelf. All of us in the #cliniccoven found our individual paths to this book even before we each started Chinese Medicine school, as a way to teach ourselves about using food as medicine. And we all still use this book often in the clinic and in our own kitchens! 🍲⠀
We love it when our clients talk about their love of cupping as enthusiastically as we do!

Our exhale is a perfect example of our ability to let go. During moments of high stress or anxiety, full exhales seem impossible, but with a bit of practice, they can become the perfect coping mechanism. To practice; Find a comfortable seat and close your eyes or stare softly at the floor. As you breathe, consciously shift your exhales to be twice as long as your inhales. It may feel a little unnatural at first, so be patient with yourself. If you like, you can visualize tension and (or anything you need to release) leaving your body with each exhale. Join us tonight for lots of exhales during yoga + acupuncture at @waterbar_mpls $25 for 90-min of bendy stretching with @tatummarie and a relaxing #needlenap from @kimchristensen.lac .
