Yin Tang is a commonly used and frequently requested acupuncture point, located between the eyebrows. It is used to calm the mind; reduce anxiety and agitation; help insomnia; benefit the sinuses, including relieving sinus pain, inflammation, and congestion; and alleviate many kinds of headaches. There is often a relaxing, heavy, tingly sensation felt at the site when this point is needled. Yin Tang allows the body to calmly settle.

Walking has been offering innumerable mental and physical health benefits for thousands of years of human history, as Lao Tzu’s quote from 600 BC shows.

Today, it’s the most scientifically studied form of exercise. Walking is as natural as eating, breathing, or talking — our very physiology is specially designed for it. Unlike most (non-hooved) mammals, our entire foot makes contact with the ground when we walk, starting with the heel, then rolling to the ball of the foot. This helps spread out the impact and pressure of walking, enabling us to continue for long distances. Most other mammals’ feet have evolved to running quickly and effectively. Their heels are weak, but they bounce along on the balls of the feet or their toes, but only for relatively short distances.

Annual physicals aren’t high on anyone’s list for Most Fun of the Year, but they are important for maintaining health, staying ahead of any problems, and establishing baseline information so that issues can be caught early. Most of the time, we see great results, which is encouraging and helps us maintain good habits.
