      <image:caption>1) Yintang: This is located right between the two eyebrows, where many traditional cultures describe the “third eye” as being located. This point has a very calming function, good for both anxiety and insomnia. (I also treat animals with acupuncture in addition to humans, and have found that pretty much any creature with two eyes enjoys being rubbed in this spot! It’s very soothing.)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>2) Governing Vessel 20 (also called Baihui or “Hundred Meetings”): This point is located at the very top of the head, on your midline. Stand up straight and look for the highest point on the center of your head–that’s Governing Vessel 20. This point has several different functions in Chinese medicine, including calming the spirit. Because of its location, it is said to have a close relationship with the brain. And because a pathway of the channel this point lies on runs through the heart, it is also said to have a close relationship with the heart. Chinese medicine students will often be seen tapping on this point before an exam, because it is said to bring clear energy to the head!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>3) Pericardium 6 (also called Neiguan or “Inner Pass”): This point is located on the inside of your forearm. In most people, two tendons can be seen and felt beginning at the inner crease of your wrist and running up the forearm (the tendons of palmaris longus and flexor carpi radiallis). Measure three finger widths up from the crease of your wrist, and find the point located there between the two tendons–that’s Pericardium 6.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In another type of IVDD, a genetic mutation called “chondrodystrophy,” commonly occurring in dog breeds with short legs–like Dachshunds, Frenchies, and Corgis– causes a dog’s discs to degenerate prematurely, resulting in symptoms that appear earlier in a dog’s life. Seventy-five percent of chondrodystrophic dogs show some disc degeneration by just one-year-old. Despite his punk rock appearance, Jack London’s doggie DNA test revealed that he is part poodle, another small breed prone to IVDD. His first flare up occurred at age three with an abrupt onset, which is typical for this type of IVDD.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Why So Many Olympians Are Hooked on Cupping</image:title>
      <image:caption>Cupping is an ancient therapeutic practice with roots in Chinese and numerous other medical traditions, and–while my Oakland, California acupuncture practice is far from the pools and arenas of the Olympic Village–I love incorporating cupping into my patients’ acupuncture treatments, especially for musculoskeletal pain—as the relief it can provide often starts immediately.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Why So Many Olympians Are Hooked on Cupping</image:title>
      <image:caption>There are several styles of cupping, including traditional “fire cupping,” which involves placing a burning cotton ball inside a glass cup. The cotton ball is removed and the glass cup is quickly placed on the affected area of the body, such as the back, shoulder, or leg. The temperature differential created by the flame generates suction, which promotes blood flow by pulling the skin and surface tissues away from the body. Cupping can also be done with silicone cups and a mechanical pump that creates a similar vacuum-like suction.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Why So Many Olympians Are Hooked on Cupping</image:title>
      <image:caption>Often, one cupping session will already start to bring you immediate relief for musculoskeletal pain. For athletes, I recommend cupping twice a month, especially during training seasons. For everyone else, once a month as part of your overall acupuncture wellness regimen is a beneficial schedule—but you can always do it more frequently if you need relief from muscle pain or soreness.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In dogs as well as humans, there are powerful points along the back–which, when considered from an anatomical perspective, makes sense, since that’s where the nerves come in and out of our spinal cords, relaying information to and from the brain to the rest of the body. So regardless of where the pain or issue is, we will also often needle points along your dog’s back.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>On a recent trip to New York City, when I wasn’t busy eating the best bagels, I made a pilgrimage to The Cloisters, the branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art dedicated to the art, architecture, and gardens of medieval Europe. Located on four acres way uptown, The Cloisters overlooks the Hudson River and feels like a little oasis in the busy city. According to the Met, the extensive gardens at The Cloisters, including the herbal medicine garden, “evoke those that provided sustenance and spiritual refreshment within the medieval monastery.” Including herbs that were used for medicine, fertility, and even magic, their medieval herb garden is considered one of the most specialized plant collections in the world.</image:caption>

I can’t help but think that the annex to my own Oakland acupuncture office should be a proper medicinal herb garden of my very own.  Interested in how herbal medicine can support your health? Schedule an appointment at my Oakland office, or book a telehealth session. I look forward to getting medieval with you!</image:caption>

Agitation, restlessness, and insomnia are other signs. The point can also treat its opposite–a deficiency of Heart fire, associated with depression, apathy, and a lack of joy.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>3) Topical pain relief: I love Saint Apothecary Evil Bone Water (Zheng Xie Gu Shui), a premium “blood-moving” topical based on a Chinese medicine recipe that is hundreds of years old and rooted in the Chinese martial arts tradition. This is my current go-to for any kinds of sports injuries, bruises, and muscle or joint aches, pains, strains, and sprains. For tennis elbow, I recommend applying 2-3 times per day and as needed. Saint Apothecary uses sustainably sourced top quality Chinese herbs (unlike similar products you might find on Amazon, etc.), with no additives or animal products. I now carry this product at the Griffin Acupuncture clinic in Oakland–ask about it the next time you’re in for a treatment!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Chinese herbal formulas can dry running sinuses, clear sinus infections, and help bolster the body’s qi to reduce allergic inflammation. In Chinese medicine, we prescribe herbs in combination to create a formula that is tailored to the individual's specific needs. I’m sending lots of patients home with this Allerfree herbal tincture from Griffo, which I absolutely love.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Chrysanthemum and goji berries are two herbs that are traditionally combined to support the eyes, especially the dry itchy eyes that can be associated with allergy season. These can be gently simmered for 5 - 10 minutes to make a tasty herbal tea. Save the chrysanthemums after simmering—once they’ve cooled, you can place them over your eyes for cooling direct relief. Need help finding dried chrysanthemum flowers? I’ll send you home with an organically grown care package!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Why I won’t prescribe donkey skins (ejiao)</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I was training to practice acupuncture with animal patients, the first horse I ever treated was a gorgeous girl named Artemis, who, despite the chronic back pain she was experiencing, was able to relax into her treatment and even began to nod off as her needles settled in. In retrospect, I cannot help but be struck by the irony that Chinese medicine is increasingly used to offer care and relief to horses, while at the same time, increasingly perpetuating an incredibly cruel industry in which donkeys, their genetic cousins, suffer and die to be made into herbal “medicine.”</image:caption>
