How I (Finally) Stopped Grinding My Teeth
When I visit SYI Acupuncture, the first thing Saher Hussaini does is take a look at my tongue, noting the purple-ish color and scalloped edges, all of which confirms that I am holding stress and tension in my body. And while I might be complaining about my jaw, Hussaini notes that it’s all connected—and accessory muscles need to be de-stressed, too. “We’re going to insert a few acupuncture needles directly into your masseter, but work on your meridian points throughout the body as well to support the free flow of chi, circulate blood, and break up inflammation.”
