Thrive Athletics: Immune Support for the Girls
This event will provide an acupuncture treatment to support the immune system during the changing seasons and prepare our bodies for winter by calming the mind and settling the exciting energy of summer.
Fall is the time we get ready to get cozy, stay in, and hibernate for winter. The change in season can be taxing on our immune system, and our energy can dip. In traditional Chinese Medicine, we associate different seasons with certain organ systems. The fall is the season of the Lung and Large intestine. The Lung is the highest organ in the body and is the powerhouse of the immune system. The Large intestine is in charge of excreting waste from our bodies, so we have a stronger sense of self-protection by setting firmer boundaries and ridding ourselves of what no longer serves us in our lives. Only 6 spots available Cost – $50 Date & Time – Sat Nov 15th 2:00-3:30 Sign up here
