## Acupuncture Through the Seasons
In East Asian medicine, each season asks something different of the body.
One of the quiet gifts of East Asian medicine is its attention to season. The body is not the same in January as it is in July, and care that follows the year tends to feel more natural — and work better.

## Spring — movement and renewal
Spring is about rising energy and gentle movement after the stillness of winter. It is a good time to address stagnation: stiffness, frustration, sluggish digestion. We often focus on keeping energy flowing smoothly.

## Summer — warmth and openness
Summer is the most active, outward season. Treatment leans toward supporting the heart and clearing excess heat, helping you enjoy the energy of the season without burning out.

## Autumn — settling and protecting
As things turn inward, autumn is the time to support the lungs and immunity ahead of colder months. It is the classic season for a tune-up and, often, a supportive herbal formula.

## Winter — rest and reserve
Winter asks us to slow down and conserve. Care focuses on restoring reserves and deep rest — exactly the kind of quiet the season is built for.
