By |2023-05-23T12:42:07-04:00May 23rd, 2023|Categories: acupoint, Mood|Tags: , , , , |

Acupuncture has been used for centuries to promote physical and mental well-being. While this complementary treatment should not replace working with a professional mental healthcare worker, there are specific acupoints believed to have positive effects on mental wellness. These acupoints, when stimulated, are thought to help calm the mind, reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, promote emotional balance, and enhance cognitive function. Yintang (M-HN-3) Located between the eyebrows, in the center of the forehead, Yintang is often referred to as the "third eye" point. It is believed to calm the mind, relieve stress, and promote clarity [...]

Harnessing the Power of TCM for Mental Wellness

By |2023-05-24T16:57:51-04:00May 23rd, 2023|Categories: Mood|Tags: , , , , , , , |

In recent years, mental health has become a significant concern all over the world. In the United States alone, 20% of Americans or over 50 million people, experience mental illness. Of that group, less than half will seek treatment. While it is crucial that anyone experiencing severe mental health issues work with a professional mental healthcare provider, ie. talking with a therapist or exploring medication options, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can be a beneficial complementary therapy. While not recommended for acute distress or crisis management, TCM offers a way to get closer to our body's natural homeostasis. At the core [...]

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) in the United States. One aspect of AAPI culture that is particularly significant, especially to us here at Mend, is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which has been practiced for thousands of years and continues to be used today.

Why TCM is the Way to Go for Women’s Health

By |2023-05-17T07:46:37-04:00May 16th, 2023|Categories: Women's Health|Tags: , , , , , , , |

Women's health is a multifaceted aspect that requires holistic care and attention. Thankfully, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a number of ways to help regulate and balance the body. Before we get into why TCM is the way to go for women's health, we want to recognize that "women's health" encompasses a wide range of health issues specific to individuals who are assigned female at birth or those who identify as women. We acknowledge that not everyone who has female reproductive organs identifies as a woman. Also some people are women and do not have uteruses or traditional "women's health" [...]

6 Reasons to Keep Your MMCC Card After July 1

By |2023-06-27T16:04:36-04:00April 17th, 2023|Categories: Cannabis, Clinic Updates|Tags: , , , , , |

Starting on July 1, 2023, adults age 21 and older will be able to buy cannabis in Maryland from recreational dispensaries. This means that the general public will now be able to purchase vapes, gummies, pre-rolled joints, edibles and more from about 100 dispensaries statewide. It is expected that dispensaries are going to be quite busy from now on. For example, Missouri had less than 100 days to get its recreational industry up and running, with sales starting early February. Nearly instantly, monthly cannabis sales tripled and have since stayed at that level. However, there are a number of [...]

Dream Interpretation in TCM

By , |2023-04-13T10:26:34-04:00April 10th, 2023|Categories: Mood, Self-Care, Sleep, Wellness|Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , |

Dream interpretation, as a practice, is indigenous in origin. In spite of the fact that we may not always be able to recall our dreams, for centuries they’ve had the potential to fascinate, scare, and even inform us when interpreted. Like music and film, dreams can be abstract in their expression. The meaning of one’s dreams, and the method to interpret, is a reflection of social, cultural, and historical frameworks. In many ancient societies, dreams were thought to be a kind of supernatural communication and a divination of sorts. Later, dream interpretation had clear associations. For example, in traditional [...]

Photo by Karolina Grabowska from Pexels In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), summer is associated with the Fire element, as well as the Heart organ system, which performs many energy functions that are vital to your body, mind, and spirit.
