We are in the midst of the traveling season ✈️🚙! Many of you will be sitting 💺in a car or plane for long periods of time which can make our backs all stiff, painful, and uncomfortable😨. The good news is acupuncture can help! 🙌🏼Back pain is actually the #1 reported reason for seeking acupuncture. With nearly 8 out of every 10 people having low back pain at some point in their life its a good thing that natural medicine is so safe and effective.💯
The American College of Physicians (ACP) recommends that physicians and patients should treat acute or subacute low back pain with non-drug therapies such as superficial heat, massage, ACUPUNCTURE , or spinal manipulation. NOT opioids! So come get your acupuncture and cupping therapy to loosen you up before or after your trip. ✨🦄☯️

☀️Summer 🌞Hot Season☀️
🍽🥢Eating according to the seasons is an important aspect in Chinese Nutrition Therapy.
Summer is the season of the big yang and is characterized by the fire🔥 phase and summer heat🔥. Heat feeds on body fluids and harms yin. It is recommended to take in predominately cooling, dampness-providing foods (yin foods) to disperse heat and build up body fluids💦. The bitter flavor corresponds to the fire phase. Mostly bitter-cool as well as bitter-cold fools in moderation should be consumed during the hot season.
🍎Recommended summer fruit foods: apple, lemon, kiwi, melon, orange, pear, pineapple, tangerine
🥒Cooling foods: cucumber, Belgian endive hearts, spinach, tomato, more raw foods and salads are acceptable during the summer, barley, mineral water.
✨Pro Tip: The Chinese have recommended green tea 🍵as the ideal beverage during summer heat for centuries. “It disperses summer heat and can expel toxins, cool the heart fire, calm the mind, remove heat from liver and gallbladder, and relieve stomach and lung.”
❌In the summer it’s best to avoid dry and energetically hot foods such as coffee and acid spices. ( ok, you can have your ☕️in the am but just don’t over do it!)
❌avoid ice 🧊cold foods and beverages and ice cream🍦 because they abruptly block the stomach’s digestive energy.
Symptoms: Sudden diarrhea and vomiting🤢, often in the summer after extensive swimming (external cold), in combination with ice cream and cold drinks.
Nutritional therapy: Fennel tea with spices

Happy Summer Solstice! ☀️☀️☀️ The Yang energy is at its maximum today.
☀️The legendary Yellow Emperor, regarded as the founder of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has these instructive words about the season of summer in the ancient text, The Yellow Emperorʼs Classic of Internal Medicine:
☀️☀️“In the three months of summer there is an abundance of sunshine and rain. The heavenly energy descends, and the earthly energy rises. When these energies merge, there is in*******se between heaven and earth. As a result, plants mature and animals, flowers, and fruit appear abundantly.”☀️☀️

Happy Spring Equinox! With the arrival of spring and with all this wind in LA 🌬allergies have been flaring 🤧😩. If you are suffering from sneezing, runny nose, sinus pressure and congestion, itchy eyes, and headaches due to allergies you should try acupuncture ✨and herbal medicine🌿 before reaching for the over the counter pharmaceuticals💊 🙅🏻‍♀️which just dry you up. We 👩🏻‍⚕️like to treat the root of the problem!
🌸Allergies are responses mounted by the body’s immune system, which can be triggered by various elements.
🌸Allergic reactions occur when a person’s immune system reacts to normally harmless substances in the environment.
🌸Acupuncture works really well by treating underlying imbalances and we also treat locally with points on the face to help nasal congestion and itchy eyes.
🌸 Have you tired acupuncture or herbal medicine for allergies, did it work for you?
🦄Throwback pic of my favorite nails I used to get when I went to Thailand 🥰

✨March is Endometriosis awareness month.
✨1 in every 10 women in United States are suffering from Endometriosis.
✨Endometriosis involves the migration and the growth of endometrial cells outside the uterus, which promotes chronic inflammation.
This chronic inflammation can lead to pain during menstruation as well as during in*******se followed by fertility complications. Women suffering with endometriosis will commonly experience severe pains and large clots accompanied with heavy bleeding and even vomiting😭. They may even experience abdominal pain throughout the month. However, some women with endometriosis might not experience any symptoms at all.
✨The good news is that Acupuncture and Heebal Medicine can help! 🙌🏼🙏🏼By regulating the blood flow and reducing inflammation in the body, combined with some dietary, herbs and lifestyle changes it can help reduce the symptoms associated with endometriosis. 👌🏻

Acupuncture treatment for my minor Diastasis recti.
🤰🏻Diastasis recti, (DRA) or abdominal separation, is a common condition experienced by people during and after pregnancy, in which the right and left halves of the re**us abdominis muscle spread apart at the body’s midline.
🤰🏻About 30–70% of pregnant people develop DRA during pregnancy.
🤰🏻What Causes Diastasis Recti?
During pregnancy, widening and thinning of the midline abdominal tissue occurs in response to the force of the growing uterus pushing against the abdominal wall. This, combined with pregnancy hormones that soften connective tissue, creates a small amount of widening of the midline and is normal.
🤰🏻A diastasis is usually measured using fingers. Some people have a one-finger diastasis, other people have a five-finger diastasis. Typically, a diastasis remains in the one to five finger-wide range.
🤱🏻I will keep you posted on my healing progress!
🤱🏻Did you experience DRA postpartum, did you even know about it!?
