Ramadan Mubarak!⁠
⁠
Ramadan is the 9th and holiest month of the Muslim Calendar. Muslims celebrate the spiritual potency of this month by abstaining from food and drink during sunlit hours of the day to draw themselves closer to God, practice detachment and gratitude, refocus their energy towards prayer and devotion, and strengthen their compassion for those less fortunate.⁠
⁠
Even if you are not Muslim or don’t celebrate Ramadan, we can all honor the spirit of Ramadan this holy month. In the face of global turmoil and violence, perhaps it is a call to action—or a mercy—to accept the gifts that Ramadan can offer us.⁠ ( with .repost)

🔥🐴 Gong Xi Fa Cai! Happy Chinese New Year! The Year of the Fire

The Horse represents movement, freedom, instinct, and forward momentum.
Add Fire, and everything speeds up. Passion rises, decisions happen faster, and there is a strong urge to live more truthfully.

From a TCM lens, this year strongly activates Fire element themes:

❤️ Heart and Shen
🔥 JOY, enthusiasm, connection
⚡ But also overstimulation, if we are not grounded

You may notice more restlessness, difficulty slowing down, racing thoughts, or feeling pulled in many directions at once. Simultaneously, creativity, courage, and clarity of purpose can feel stronger!

☯️🔥🐴TCM wisdom for the Fire Horse year:

• Nourish Heart Yin (through food, herbs, Qi Gong) to balance intense Fire
• Protect your Shen with proper rest and routines (bedtime no later than 11PM)
• Move your body, but do not burn yourself out (Qi Gong/Tai Qi)
• Choose JOY intentionally, not constantly

This is not a year to play small.
Act with awareness, not impulse.
Stay rooted, so you can fly high.

🔥Fire can illuminate, or consume.
TCM teaches us how to work with it wisely.

The Greensboro Department of Transportation continues snow/ice removal, working in 12-hour shifts and operating 24 hours a day to clear roadways. Our criteria to consider a road "cleared" is when the roadway is plowed to bare pavement, reducing the potential for residual moisture to create icy conditions. Sometimes that takes several passes, especially in a storm like this, which was more ice than snow.

We are continuing to work on Priority 1 and 2 roads. By our criteria, we need 75% of the Priority 1 and 2 roads cleared before we move to the neighborhood (Priority 3) streets. We are 96% completed with bare pavement on P1 roads. Crews are working on the remaining icy locations on P1’s to complete, and others are working on P2’s. We estimate that we will begin plowing P3 roads by Wednesday afternoon. Stay safe, folks!

Hey friends & family! The City has posted an interactive map that will show you snow and ice removal around the city.

☯️Keep the Kidney Yang warm by keeping your feet warm.

🌱Fresh slices of ginger, lemon and honey with warm water, especially first thing in the morning, are a great way to help your Spleen & Stomach Qi to function well.

“States of Emergency” can be stressful. Tai Chi/Qi Gong/Yoga/Pilates/gentle stretching of any kind will help to ease the mind, engage any tight tendons and ligaments that may feel stiff from the cold, and soothe and course Liver Qi.

Stay Safe & Be Well! ❄️☯️

Taiwanese researchers discovered acupuncture triggering stem cell release healing damaged organs naturally. Scientists at China Medical University found that electroacupuncture at specific meridian points stimulates bone marrow to release mesenchymal stem cells into circulation, which then migrate to injured organs and promote tissue repair. This mechanism explains acupuncture’s therapeutic effects through measurable biological processes rather than placebo.
Traditional Chinese medicine has used acupuncture for thousands of years, but Western medicine dismissed it as placebo due to lack of biological mechanism. Taiwanese researchers using advanced imaging and cellular tracking discovered that needle stimulation at specific points triggers measurable stem cell mobilization-providing the first clear biological explanation for acupuncture’s effects.
Electroacupuncture (needles with mild electrical current) at ST36 (Zusanli point) and GV20 (Baihui point) causes a 300% increase in circulating stem cells within 24 hours. These mobilized stem cells express homing signals drawing them to damaged tissues—injured liver, heart, kidneys, or brain— where they differentiate into organ-specific cells and release healing factors. It’s like acupuncture triggers the body’s internal repair dispatch system.
Stroke patients receiving electroacupuncture within 48 hours of stroke showed 40% better functional recovery than those receiving standard care alone.
Liver cirrhosis patients showed reduced fibrosis markers. Heart attack survivors demonstrated improved cardiac function. The mechanism is entirely biological-traced stem cells from bone marrow to damaged organs. Skeptical Western physicians are reconsidering acupuncture given this mechanistic evidence. We’re discovering that ancient healing practices work through sophisticated biological mechanisms science is only now capable of detecting.

In the early 1900s, powerful industrial forces like John D. Rockefeller shifted American medicine toward a standardized, science-based, pharmaceutical model. As hospitals and medical schools aligned with this new system, traditional healing arts—like herbalism, homeopathy, and energy medicine—were pushed to the margins.

But the natural-healing traditions never disappeared; they simply lived underground in families, communities, and holistic lineages. Today, people are waking up to the wisdom that modern medicine and natural medicine can complement each other. The desire to understand our own bodies, our energy, and how to truly heal is stronger than ever—and these ancient tools are finally resurfacing into the mainstream.
