Community Acupuncture in Chicago

Monthly Seasonal Acupuncture at Sat Nam Yoga Chicago

Our Monthly Community Acupuncture clinic offers individualized, seasonal treatment within a calm, shared setting. Each session is limited to 8 participants, preserving clinical focus while honoring the strength of healing in community.

This is disciplined Traditional Chinese Medicine delivered with steadiness and care.

Why Community Acupuncture?

In China, acupuncture has long been practiced in open community clinics. This model keeps care accessible and encourages consistent treatment — a foundational principle in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where rhythm and frequency matter.

Receiving treatment alongside others often deepens regulation. The shared quiet supports nervous system down-regulation, allowing the body to enter repair mode more efficiently.

Community setting does not mean generalized care. Each participant receives individualized point selection based on formal pattern diagnosis.

  • TCM understands health as cyclical. Organ systems shift with light, temperature, and elemental phases. Our monthly themes reflect the dominant energetics of the season.

    Spring | Wood

    Liver & Gallbladder — circulation, detoxification, emotional movement


    Summer | Fire

    Heart & Small Intestine — vitality, cardiovascular balance, clarity


    Late Summer | Earth

    Spleen & Stomach — digestion, nourishment, stability


    Autumn | Metal

    Lung & Large Intestine — immunity, boundaries, release


    Winter | Water

    Kidney & Bladder — restoration, adrenal strength, fertility, reserves


    Aligning treatment with seasonal energetics strengthens resilience — especially important in Chicago’s dramatic environmental shifts.

    Preventative care is a central tenet of Chinese medicine. We treat patterns before they harden.

  • When clinically indicated, treatment may be supported with custom Chinese herbal formulas or moxibustion.

    Herbal medicine works internally to regulate organ systems, hormones, digestion, immunity, and constitutional strength. Formulas are selected according to pattern differentiation — not symptom trends.

    Moxibustion — the gentle warming of acupuncture points using mugwort — is particularly beneficial for:

    • Cold or deficient conditions

    • Fertility support

    • Menstrual pain

    • Digestive weakness

    • Immune strengthening

    These modalities extend and deepen the effects of acupuncture, especially during seasonal transitions.

  • Fertility Through Menopause

    Select monthly clinics focus specifically on women’s hormonal health, drawing from decades of clinical experience supporting patients across the full hormonal arc.

    Traditional Chinese Medicine offers structured support for:

    • Cycle irregularity and PMS

    • Menstrual pain

    • Fertility optimization and IVF support

    • Postpartum recovery

    • Perimenopause transition

    • Menopause symptoms including sleep disruption and hot flashes

    Brief educational components are woven into these sessions, offering clear understanding of how acupuncture, herbs, and seasonal alignment support endocrine balance.

 

What to Expect

  • Small group clinic (maximum 8 participants)

  • Individualized diagnosis and treatment

  • 45–60 minute session

  • Quiet, shared treatment environment

  • Dress in relaxed clothing that allows easy access for treatment — sleeves and pant legs should roll up comfortably.

Appropriate for both new and experienced acupuncture patients.
