Knee pain and inflammation are some of the most common issues I see in my clinic. Whether it comes from aging, injury, or long-term wear and tear, the underlying cause is often the same:

Stagnation, inflammation, and lack of proper circulation—both physically and energetically.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the knee is closely connected to the Kidney and Liver systems, which govern the strength of the joints, tendons, and bones. When these systems become weakened—or when Qi and Blood are not flowing properly—pain and inflammation begin to develop.

Valentine’s Day is traditionally celebrated with flowers, chocolates, and romantic dinners. While those gestures are lovely, they often become routine. Year after year, many couples repeat the same rituals—without truly nourishing the deeper connection that Valentine’s Day is meant to honor.
