The end of summer is a good time to give the body a seasonal “tune-up,” says Anat Raz, owner of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine in Mount Kisco. “With the change of every season, the body has to go through a major adjustment and balancing,” she says. “This process is often taxing, especially if there is weakness in the lungs. Acupuncture can ease and support the seasonal transition on the body.”

Early fall is an especially challenging time for anyone who suffers from respiratory weakness, allergies, asthma or chronic sinus infections, she notes. “During this time, the body has to make a smooth transition from the warm summer into the cool fall season. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are extremely effective in supporting the body in this process.” Raz says her pharmacy carries specific herbal formulas to treat various respiratory conditions.   

Raz has practiced Oriental medicine for 20 years and is a New York State-licensed acupuncturist. She is board certified in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine through the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. She has served Mount Kisco and the surrounding communities for the past 18 years and recently expanded her practice to Manhattan on Fridays.   

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine is located at 25 E. Main St., Mt. Kisco. For more information, call 914.244.0569 or visit AnatRazAcupuncture.com.
