Well, well, well...... a 20% decrease in dementia rates. Not bad.

A study tracked more than 131,000 people for up to 43 years.

Happy "Jīng Zhé" Everybody!
Today we celebrate the first day of the old Chinese 2 week long season called "Jīng Zhé", which translates into "Awakening of the Insects".

While that may not sound too comforting, the "awakening of the insects" is a sure sign that the spring warmth has come and is here to stay.

With the worst of winter truly behind us, we can look forward to energizing thunder showers and bugs finally awaking from their long winter hibernation.

Just yesterday I spotted the firts Asian beetles wandering across my kitchen floor. 😃

Good stuff.

Happy Spring Time!!!

March 1st is considered to be the first day of “meteorological spring”. Yay!!! Celebrate !!!

Yes, yes, I know officially spring doesn’t begin until 9:46 am on March 20th, but March 1st is still the day that the meteorologists have chosen to mark the second of four seasons (the others are June, September and December). Just go with it… they are scientists. ;-)

So what does this mean? It means that we have finally turned the corner and can consider crawling out from our snow caves of hibernation. It means longer days, brighter sun and an inner optimism that warms our hearts. We have all made it through the harsh and unforgiving winter, so it is time to give thanks and celebrate.

Sure, sure, there will be a couple more snow storms, but there is no need to fret… because nothing can be better than a fluffy spring snow. Just think about the sledding and skiing you can do in 40 degree temperatures. 😀

So be sure to get out and enjoy these sunny, long days. Go for a long awaited walk and be sure to come in for your “spring acupuncture tonic”. Because there is no better time to get an acupuncture tune-up and get ready for the warmth and fun that spring has to offer.

See you soon….

"Honey?"

"Yes?"
"This is the first time in a week that I've been out of pain. "

Happy Fat Tuesday Everyone! Otherwise known as Mardi Gras, today is the last day of the feast period which began on the Epiphany back in early January and ends tonight at midnight; which is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the Lenten period which lasts 40 days; a period of "shriving" or repenting, fasting and otherwise preparing for the upcoming Easter Celebration.

But until then, you know what to do tonight... time to get your party on!

Did you know that acupuncture is helpful for the full spectrum of internal organ problems as well?
Yesterday I was talking to a patient who was coming in for chronic neck and back pain. Somehow, something was said that acupuncture was also good for internal problems and not just muscles.

She was shocked, because she has been using acupuncture for years, but had no idea that it could also be successfully used for lung, heart, stomach, intestinal, reproductive, hormonal, mental, etc.... virtually everything.

From asthma to allergies, IBS to PMS, from ED to PMDD... the list is virtually endless.

So if you have a nagging chronic health issue, give us a call to see if acupuncture can help...
