The COVID-19 pandemic has left a significant mark on global health, with lingering effects that go beyond the acute illness caused by the virus. Among these long-term impacts are conditions like Long Covid, which is now widely recognized and being studied.

Transitions are an integral part of life, representing the continuous process of change that is fundamental to all existence. In Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM), this concept of transition is not just about physical changes but about a dynamic interplay of forces that drive transformation at every level of our being.

In today's fast-paced world, many of us struggle with stress, anxiety, and depression. While these emotional challenges are often seen as purely psychological, Classical Chinese medicine (CCM) offers a different perspective—one that views our emotional wellbeing as deeply connected to our physical health. Acupuncture, a key component of CCM, provides powerful tools to restore balance and harmony in both body and mind.

As summer arrives, its significance in Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM) becomes evident through its association with the height of yang energy and the corresponding effects on our bodies. Understanding these seasonal dynamics allows us to harness the power of acupuncture to maintain balance and health during the hottest months of the year.

As the heat of summer begins to fade and the cool air of autumn approaches, the natural world undergoes a transformation. In Classical Chinese Medicine (CCM), this transition is not merely a change in temperature or scenery but a vital period of adjustment that ensures the harmony of the body and the environment. Acupuncture, a key modality in CCM, plays an essential role in supporting this transition, helping the body align with the changing energies of the seasons.
