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.
