🔹 Kidney 6 + Lung 7 activate the Yin Qiao Vessel, which regulates the flow of Qi and Blood from the heel to the eyes. This pairing is particularly effective for treating women’s health issues, thyroid imbalances, and yin deficiency. Whether it’s menstrual irregularities or general yin support, this duo is one of my favorites for balancing and nourishing the body.

🔹 GB 41 + SJ 5 open up the Dai Mai Vessel, which helps move Qi and dampness throughout the body. This combination is especially beneficial for resolving stagnation in the abdominal area, promoting circulation from the lower body to the upper body, and ensuring that energy flows freely.

Without Sheng Jiang my life would be very boring! Having suffered from gastrointestinal issues my whole life, Sheng Jiang has saved the day many times.

Sheng Jiang, or fresh ginger, is a highly valued herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine known for its versatile health benefits. It is particularly effective in treating nausea by restoring the proper flow of stomach Qi, making it useful for morning sickness, motion sickness, and digestive-related nausea.

Ginger is also a go-to remedy for dispelling colds and coughs. Its warming and pungent nature helps to release external pathogens, especially wind-cold, by inducing sweating. Additionally, it alleviates coughs linked to phlegm-cold by warming the lungs and aiding in mucus resolution.

For digestive issues, Sheng Jiang's warming properties are excellent for addressing conditions caused by cold or dampness in the stomach and spleen. It eases symptoms like bloating, indigestion, and stomach pain by promoting the smooth flow of Qi and stimulating digestive enzyme production.

Beyond digestion and respiratory health, Sheng Jiang supports the immune system and boosts energy levels. It strengthens the Wei Qi, the body’s defensive energy, protecting against external pathogens and enhancing overall vitality. Its ability to stimulate circulation and energy flow makes it beneficial for those experiencing fatigue or low energy.

Cupping, a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been practiced for thousands of years to promote healing and balance within the body. This ancient therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, which stimulates blood flow, reduces inflammation, and enhances the body's natural healing processes.

Promotes Qi and Blood Flow 🌬️
Cupping helps move stagnant Qi (energy) and blood, facilitating the smooth flow of these vital substances throughout the body. This can alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and improve overall vitality.

Detoxifies the Body 🌱
By drawing out toxins and impurities, cupping supports the body's natural detoxification processes. It clears blockages and promotes the elimination of waste, leading to improved organ function and overall health.

Relieves Pain and Muscle Tension 💆‍♂️
The suction created by the cups helps to release tight muscles, reduce stiffness, and alleviate chronic pain. It's particularly effective for conditions such as back pain, neck tension, and migraines.

Enhances Respiratory Health 🌬️
Cupping is often used to treat respiratory conditions like asthma, bronchitis, and common colds. It helps clear congestion, improve lung function, and promote better breathing.

Boosts Immunity and Well-being 🌸
Regular cupping sessions can strengthen the immune system, making you less susceptible to illness. It also promotes relaxation and reduces stress, contributing to overall mental and physical well-being.

How did I get into Traditional Chinese Medicine? Here’s the story…

While living in Italy, I became so intrigued with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Having my own personal health issues brought me to not only study the medicine, but also be healed by it. I feel like I was born to practice TCM, and everything that I had ever done in my life led me to it.

Being a violinist from three years of age, to then becoming a violin maker and working in such a detail oriented craft, translated so beautifully into practicing this incredible ancient medicine. I spent my entire life working with my hands and I felt like when I started studying this medicine everything came to me so naturally and organically.

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE? 🤔 Acupuncture is part of traditional Chinese medicine and consists of inserting fine needles into specific points on the skin.

The use of acupuncture on certain points within the meridians is believed to improve the flow of blocked or stagnant qi. Acupuncture can unblock these meridians restoring movement of qi and improves health.

Disease comes from an imbalance that leads to a blockage in the flow of qi—the vital energy or life force thought to regulate your spiritual, emotional, mental and physical health. Acupuncture is intended to remove blockages in the flow of qi and restore and maintain health.

I love to use the image of a river to get a better idea of what is happening inside the body. We are mostly water, so if you imagine that we are a river and the stress in our lives, the toxicity in our environment, any physical or emotional traumas we have endured, are like debris you would find in a river, such as twigs, leaves, rocks . . . What acupuncture does is gently helps your body move this so-called debris that has blocked the river AKA our channels and allows our bodies to function optimally.

You may feel a sensation of heaviness and an achy feeling surrounding the placement of the needle. This is a great sign that the needles are working and helping your body return to balance.

Hi! For those who don't know me, my name is Dr. Yael Markowicz. My backstory is definitely an interesting one. I graduated from Stony Brook University in 2001, and then immediately moved to Cremona, Italy, joining my father to study and become a violin maker. During my 8 years in Italy, I was introduced to yoga, meditation, shiatsu, tai chi, and homeopathic medicine. Wellness became one of my passions.

In 2008, I realized that my passion for violin making didn't measure up to my peers, and despite having a famous violin maker as a dad, who was willing to give me all of his knowledge on a silver platter--literally a dream for any student--I was more interested in Eastern philosophy as well as holistic medicine. In 2009, I made the biggest and hardest decision of my life and returned to New York to embark in a whole new life and career in Chinese Medicine. For the first time, I was top of my class and felt like I was finally living my life's purpose.

While in school I became a massage therapist, yoga teacher, and doula. About a year after starting my own practice, I met my husband and quickly after we got married and started a family. During that time, I also completed my doctorate.

Everything I had ever dreamed of was coming true. I've been in private practice for 12 years and I have never felt like my work was a "job". Everyday I feel like I am fulfilling my life's purpose, and I am so grateful to be able to help people regain their health and improve their life.

Feeling stressed at work? Remember, it's important to prioritize your well-being, even during busy days. Here are a few quick tips to destress and recharge:

💜 Take a moment to focus on your breath. Close your eyes and take a few deep, slow breaths to center yourself.

💜 Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. It can help clear your mind and boost your energy levels.

💜 Give yourself a mental break by pausing to read a book or magazine for a few minutes. It's a great way to refresh your mind and shift your focus.

💜 Step away from your desk for a short walk or run errands if possible. Movement can help reduce tension and increase circulation, leaving you feeling more relaxed and rejuvenated.

Remember, small breaks throughout the day can make a big difference in your overall well-being. Take care of yourself, you deserve it!

Sometimes, the biggest transformations come from the smallest tweaks in our daily routines. By returning to the basics of life—soaking up sunlight, savoring whole foods, and disconnecting from screens—we reconnect with our true selves and the world around us. Let's prioritize simple pleasures, like spending quality time with loved ones and immersing ourselves in our community. These small shifts can have a profound impact on our overall well-being and happiness. 💜

And when it comes to enhancing our well-being, acupuncture can be a game-changer. It's not just about addressing physical ailments; acupuncture helps rebalance our energy, reduces stress, and promotes overall harmony within the body. So, as we make these small changes in our lives, let's also consider incorporating acupuncture into our wellness routines. Together, these practices can lead to profound improvements in our health and happiness.

This past weekend, my husband and I escaped to the Berkshires for some much-needed time to recharge. We went on an incredible hike, reconnecting with nature and breathing in the fresh air. The highlight for me was discovering beautiful reishi mushrooms along the trail--Seeing them growing in the wild was truly amazing!

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective, reishi mushrooms are renowned for their incredible health benefits. North American reishi, one of 80 different species, is especially prized for its adaptogenic properties, helping the body manage stress and restore balance. Different regions and climates produce different types of reishi, each with unique benefits.

Reishi is known for boosting the immune system, reducing inflammation, and enhancing overall well-being. It's often called the "mushroom of immortality" for its ability to promote longevity and vitality.

Our hike was not only rejuvenating for the soul, but also a reminder of the powerful natural remedies that surround us.

Surrounding the Dragon, or Wei Ci, is a classic acupuncture technique used to treat issues manifesting on the surface of the body by surrounding them with needles. This method aims to increase blood flow, reduce inflammation, and modulate the immune system, making it effective for treating skin lesions, scars, and post-herpetic neuralgia.

While indirect methods like massaging pressure points can alleviate some pains, sometimes it's essential to tackle the problem head-on. If traditional methods have failed you, it might be time to Surround the Dragon.
