Gentle reminder that it is not sustainable to oper Gentle reminder that it is not sustainable to operate at 100% all the time. Taking the time to rest is not failing, it’s a strategic move to help you kick goals long into the future. 

Remember, in Chinese medicine, winter is a time of deep Yin: stillness, rest, and hidden potential.
While it may look like nothing is happening, beneath the surface your energy is gathering, preparing for what’s to come.

This is your permission to slow down, rest deeply, and trust the wisdom of the season. Your spring will come.

Did you know endometriosis is one of the leading c Did you know endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility?

Endometriosis has the potential to to cause problems with fertility by:
💔Damaging the ovaries and/or fallopian tubes and interfering with ovulation and conception.
💔Creating a hostile environment for sperm due to activating a high macrophage and natural killer cell response.  These are white blood cells that eat foreign tissue or material, including sperm, and initiate inflammation.
💔Interfering with the balance of estrogen and progesterone. This imbalance can affect the endometrial lining and the receptivity of the uterus, making it less favorable for implantation and sperm survival.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine provide a natural, holistic approach to reducing  inflammation, regulating hormonal balance and improving circulation to improve your chances of conception.
