We went to Eden Trattoria and they gave us a Chinese New Year message!

05/24/2023

Acupuncture treatments involve the insertion of fine needles into specific points (acupuncture points) on the body.



According to TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) theory, when acupuncture needles are inserted into acupuncture points, it serves to stimulate the body’s innate energy channels, or Qi, and can be focused on different organ systems such that any imbalance can be corrected.



This would provide the body with the ability to heal from the ailment that caused yin and yang to fall out of balance.

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide range of health conditions, from chronic pain to insomnia. Despite its long history and proven effectiveness, there are still many myths and misconceptions about acupuncture that persist today. In this blog post, we’ll debunk five of the most common myths about acupuncture and provide the facts to help you better understand this ancient practice. ...

Did you know that insomnia is an increasingly common condition in modern society? Unfortunately, most conventional sleep medications carry a risk of becoming less effective over time as well as having unwanted side effects.

In China, acupuncture is regularly used to treat insomnia without any side effects. Although there are many possible causes of insomnia, the acupuncturist’s role is to assess where the insomnia stems from and treat the underlying imbalance to achieve longer-lasting results. In a 2013 study, researchers found that not only did acupuncture improve sleep quality more effectively than medication, it also improved daytime functioning.

Does acupuncture hurt?

This is a question we receive often, and the answer is typically no, not at all. Although at times there may be slight discomfort, acupuncture is usually comfortable and relaxing. In fact, many people fall asleep during the treatment!

What most people who have never had a treatment don't realize is that acupuncture needles are extremely thin, even thinner than human hair, and they cause little to no sensation on insertion. We use the very thinnest needles available and rest assured, they are sterile and one-time use only.

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in Traditional Asian Medicine. The practice today is safe and strictly follows clean needle techniques. In my practice, I only choose "patient friendly" Korean and Japanese needles. They are as thin as a hair, and may feel like an insect prick upon insertion. But what can acupuncture treat? It is important to know that acupuncture can be used clinically for local pain. ...

10/19/2022

Acupuncture is an ancient form of healing within Traditional Asian Medicine that helps to increase circulation locally, and stimulate energy called "qi" within the body's meridians. The body's meridians look much like a river system where the "qi" flows. Acupuncture is the use of thin painless needles to access and release energy blockages and muscular tension. Your first acupuncture visit is about an hour, and we will go over your intake form, your main complaints, and perform assessments including Tongue and Pulse diagnosis. ...

“It shouldn’t matter that you’re bad at it at first: what matters is that you’re beginning something that’s very difficult and working on it until it becomes easy.”

It's the end of September and this is your reminder to get some fresh air, spend time with loved ones, and eat healthy.

We now have our supply of Ambrosia apples from Downey Farms.

🍎 are a perfect snack, especially if you eat the skin (fiber) and pair it with some nut butter (now you have carb, fiber, protein, and good fat).

You can grab an 🍏 and there's no need to spend time preparing it because it is already packaged perfectly.

An 🍎 a day keeps the doctor away.

🍏 🍎 can be made into applesauce, apple crisp, apple cake, baked apples, or added to smoothies. The list goes on.

If 🍎 🍏 cause you gas, bloating, and a change in bowel movement, you need to see a naturopathic doctor. We need to do some serious gut healing!
