The Benefits of Acupuncture During the Summer Months

Summer brings sunshine, beach trips, and unfortunately, a fair share of health challenges. From heat stress to seasonal allergies, summer can be a tricky season to navigate. But fear not, acupuncture is here to help!

 

When the heat from the sun turns relentless, our bodies can struggle to keep cool. Acupuncture works by regulating your body’s temperature, helping you stay cool as a cucumber—even when it’s a scorcher outside. Key points like LI11 (Quchi) and DU14 (Dazhui) can be your secret weapons against summer heat.

 

If summer has you sneezing and itching more than laughing and lounging, acupuncture might be your new best friend. By targeting points such as LI4 (Hegu) and LU7 (Lieque), acupuncture can help reduce those pesky allergy symptoms. Imagine breezing through a field of flowers without a single sneeze—pure bliss! Don’t forget your daily boost with herbal medicine to help combat your allergies even more. Be sure to ask Dr. Barb!

 

Summer fun can sometimes leave us feeling more like wilting sunflowers than energizer bunnies. Acupuncture can help maintain your energy levels, keeping you vibrant and ready for that next adventure. Points like ST36 (Zusanli) and CV6 (Qihai) are fantastic for boosting energy and reducing fatigue.

 

The summer sun can be pretty tough on our skin. Acupuncture not only helps improve hydration levels but also supports skin health. By stimulating points like SP6 (Sanyinjiao) and ST36 (Zusanli), you can help your skin stay radiant and hydrated, even after a long day in the sun. If aging is a concern of yours you might even be a bit “sun-phobic”. Good news, cosmetic acupuncture can combat sun damage including skin discolorations and fine lines and wrinkles.

Stay cool, stay energized, and let acupuncture help you make the most of your summer!
