3 TCM ways to reduce Chronic pain and stiffness in the winter season

 Winter can often bring stiffness and pain, especially for those with conditions like arthritis or chronic pain. Except keeping warm and regular movement,  here are 3 practical and traditional ways to reduce body pain and stiffness during the colder months:

1. Acupressure and Acupuncture

  • Focus on points like LI4 (Hegu) for general pain relief, GB34 (Yanglingquan) for joint health, and ST36 (Zusanli) for overall energy and immune support.
  • Acupuncture sessions can stimulate circulation and reduce inflammation, making them ideal for winter stiffness.

2. Moxibustion

  • Warm the body using moxa on acupoints like BL23 (Shenshu) for kidney warmth and overall vitality, or DU4 (Mingmen) for warming yang energy.

3. Herbal Remedies

  • Ginger Tea: Brew fresh ginger tea to warm the body from the inside.
