This time of year, people tend to use more scented candles. They want to create the atmosphere of winter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and spices.

When we smell something, our brain immediately creates a memory. If there were memories connected to that fragrance or smell, (good or bad) that emotion can come up for us.

We have an incredible procedure that you can learn in just a few minutes to help yourself. It’s an amazing tool to have in your toolbox for self-care. It’s called Aroma Freedom Technique.

We can do a private session in the office, and we always have a class the first Saturday of the month from 9 to 11. What’s incredible about this procedure is you don’t have to tell me or anyone what it is you’re working on, it’s totally private. This is something you can also teach your family and friends.

Call our office and talk to Crystal at 386-734-4126. Let’s celebrate this holiday season with peace and love in our hearts.

Are you having trouble escaping the pollen attacks? There are some simple steps you can take. Wash your hands—and keep washing your hands! You’d be surprised at how many times you touch your face.

Place a warm, wet washcloth over your face and breathe in and out. Another technique you can do is rub around your nose and under your eyes. Gently, but firmly, rub above your eyebrows.

There is a good acupuncture point in the web of your hand between your thumb and index finger—rub that!

Most importantly, call our office for an acupuncture tune-up.

Oh my goodness, the dust, where does it come from?
So, getting down the Christmas decorations and the office decorations (which seem to multiply by themselves each year), I started coughing and sneezing. I knew I wasn’t sick, I felt great. Then I saw the dust floating around in the sunlight. Crystal was talking about how she spent the weekend reorganizing rooms in her home, and she said the dust stirred up her sinuses and had her coughing too, which made me realize we were dealing with the same thing!

I got out my Young Living Household Cleaner and started spraying the boxes to get rid of all the dust that was on top and on the sides. I recommend using only plastic boxes, not paper boxes, because they hold bugs. I’m a Florida girl, so I know that for a fact.

Wipe down every surface that you can reach. This is a good time to do your pre Thanksgiving cleaning. Clean under the beds, wipe down the blinds, wash the curtains, and get the baseboards. We don’t need to be inhaling those dust particles. I have realized over the years that if we keep ahead of the dust, we breathe better.

And a good acupuncture tip, rub the inside of your wrists, rub the space between your thumb and your index finger, and rub alongside your nose under your eyes. These are the acupuncture point areas for the lungs, the sinuses, and the throat.

Now, I know you drink enough water, but drink more. Wash your hair before bed, or at least wipe it down really well, because the dust gets in your hair and then you are lying in bed wallowing in your dust.

Have a joyful house decorating time. Remember happy times and create new memories for yourself and your family. Diffuse essential oils like peppermint or lemon to get you moving and cleaning, and then lavender, clove, ginger, and vanilla to bring about that holiday spirit.

I tell every patient the same thing.
Your body is always trying to heal. Sometimes it simply needs help remembering how.

That is why my motto is what it is.
Get Healthy. Be Healthy. Stay Healthy.

Acupuncture, nutrition, and emotional work all help your body return to balance. Not just for a moment, but for the long run.

My goal has always been simple.
To help you feel like yourself again, and then help you stay that way.
