Healthy Aging with Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Thursday, 3/5/2020 6:30 pm

  • Ancient Chinese medicine is full of acupuncture treatments and formulas to support healthy aging.  We are born with Essence or Jing which is part of our life force.  As we age this Jing gets used.  We also use our Kidney Yin and Yang, and as a result our skin starts to wrinkle, our hair turns gray or falls out, and we have less energy than we did in our youth.  As the kidneys are affected by age we also can start to have back, hip and knee issues.  All of this can be addressed with herbs and acupuncture to help ease gracefully through our lives, live with more essence & joy, and less pain!  Come to learn how acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can help support the aging process! This talk is 30 minutes long with questions and answer time and is free and open to the public, with Christina Ducharme, L.Ac, MAOM, of Blue Heron Acupuncture, LLC.
