Back by popular request: Rest + Reset: Sound and Acupuncture Journey at Mud & Lotus, 2/22, 4-6p! 📍231 W. Coulter Street | , Philadelphia ⚡️Just one spot left! ⚡️ https://bit.ly/soundbathmudandlotus

A beautiful meeting of ancient wisdom and modern science, acupuncture and sound therapy come together to activate the vagus nerve, our body’s master switch for calm.

During a sound bath, the ear’s cartilage acts like a natural sound conductor, especially between 500–1000 Hz, while auricular acupuncture sets off subtle mechanical waves that travel through the body even faster than nerve signals.

When these two modalities meet, it’s pure synergy: acupuncture opens energetic pathways, and sound vibrations flow through them like water, guiding the nervous system from stress into deep, restorative balance.

An emerging body of research is exploring how lifestyle, targeted supplements, acupuncture, and East Asian medicine may support healthier fibrinogen levels and overall cardiovascular health, especially when used alongside appropriate medical care. DISCLAIMER: do not start taking supplements of any kind before consulting with both your medical team, and TCM and acupuncture specialist.

Thanksgiving doesn't have to be an unhealthy holiday. In fact, most Thanksgiving mainstays are -approved. Our tip: skip sugars and slow-roll the drinks for a festive time, minus the next-day guilt.

Here's a full breakdown of how to have a healthy feast:

🦃
Turkey: Considered a Qi and yang tonic, turkey supports energy, warmth, and vitality—especially when cooked with warming herbs like ginger or scallions.
🍠
Sweet Potatoes & Yams: These root vegetables nourish the digestive system (Spleen and Stomach meridians), promote warmth, and are easily digested in TCM dietary therapy.
🎃
Winter Squash & Pumpkin: Rich in nutrients and gentle on digestion, squash varieties are considered especially grounding and harmonizing for the body.
🥬
Leafy Greens (like kale, collards, spinach): Support Liver Qi, reduce stagnation, and clear mild heat - ideal for balancing heavy meals.
🫐
Cranberry Sauce (in moderation): Sour flavors support Liver function and digestion, but TCM recommends limiting sugar.
🫚🧄🧅
Ginger, Garlic, Scallion: Warming spices that support digestion and circulation according to TCM principles.
🌰
Nuts (walnuts, chestnuts): Tonify Kidney Qi and provide gentle warmth, especially in late autumn.
