Unwrap Harmony & Wellness this Holiday: Embrace Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine in Beaverton, Oregon
Finding Harmony During the Holidays: Acupuncture and Herbal Remedies in Beaverton
The holiday season brings festive cheer, family gatherings, and, unfortunately, a spike in stress, illness, and digestive woes. While Western medicine has its place, many Oregonians are turning to Traditional Asian Medicine (TAM) for a holistic approach to holiday wellness. In Beaverton, Dr. Kihyon Sohn, a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, helps patients navigate the holiday season with gentle yet effective TAM practices.
Acupuncture: Balancing the Body’s Energy Flow
Acupuncture, a cornerstone of TAM, involves inserting hair-thin needles at specific points on the body to stimulate Qi, the body’s vital energy. This gentle practice helps:
- Reduce stress and anxiety: Holiday hustle and bustle can leave us frazzled. Acupuncture’s calming effect can ease tension headaches, muscle aches, and racing minds, allowing you to savor the season’s joy.
- Boost immunity: The cold and flu season often coincides with holiday gatherings. Acupuncture can strengthen your immune system, making you less susceptible to seasonal bugs.
- Improve sleep: Holiday travel and late-night festivities can disrupt sleep patterns. Acupuncture’s harmonizing effect promotes restful sleep, leaving you energized for holiday adventures.
Patient Testimonial:
“I used to dread the holidays,” says Sarah L., a Beaverton resident. “The stress of family gatherings and gift shopping always left me feeling drained and run down. But since I started acupuncture with Dr. Sohn, I’m approaching the holidays with a newfound sense of calm and energy. I actually enjoy the hustle and bustle now!”
Herbal Medicine: Nature’s Apothecary for Holiday Health
Traditional Asian herbal medicine offers a treasure trove of natural remedies for common holiday ailments. Dr. Sohn utilizes time-tested herbal formulas to:
- Soothe digestive discomfort: Holiday indulgences can lead to indigestion, bloating, and heartburn. Gentle herbal teas and tinctures can ease these symptoms and promote digestive harmony.
- Relieve muscle aches and pains: Traveling, shopping, and decorating can leave you feeling sore.Topical herbal liniments and compresses can provide relief from muscle aches and pains.
- Enhance respiratory health: Cold weather and holiday travel can increase susceptibility to coughs and colds. Specific herbal formulas can help clear congestion and boost respiratory health.

Within a few hours, I felt so much better and was able to enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend.”
