The kidneys in Traditional Chinese Medicine are a vital energy system. They are the root of all yin and yang in the body, and they store our essence. They govern growth, reproduction and healthy progression through the different cycles of life. They play a role in healthy aging and preventing lots of age-related decline. They also control the bones, the low back and the knees.

“You get what you tolerate.” John Brady
This holiday season give an EXPERIENCE instead of more things. Research shows that people who spent money on experiences instead of things were happier and felt their money was better spent. Give someone you love who has been putting up with pain, anxiety and/or sleep issues the gift of their health SUPPORTING their ability to live full out.
Of course, the ULTIMATE gift would be one or more acupuncture sessions. Call me at 815.814.1319 or email amy@northshoreacupuncturecenter.com to purchase a gift certificate for acupuncture, cupping and/or essential oil treatments for friends and family.

Each month I will block two slots where you can book an acupuncture appointment and 50% of the treatment fees will go to the nonprofit featured that month. You should bring a separate check to write out to the nonprofit in case they don’t accept online donations.
