New on the Blog: What Helps Headaches? 🤕

Do you get headaches? You are not alone. While for some they are rare or merely inconvenient, just about everyone knows the unique agony of a headache.

Integrative health is not about “either/or”: conventional medicine or complementary and alternative medicine. Headaches are a perfect example of how integrative health can bring together the best of biomedical and holistic health practices for optimal, whole-person care.

Added bonus, take 15% off your next headache rescue treatment of any length! ✨

In honor of National Herbalist Day, celebrated on April 17th, we will be posting information on Chinese herbal medicine this month! Today's Herb is: Shan Zha 山楂

Chinese herbal medicine, a key component of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been practiced for over 2,000 years. It uses natural substances like roots, leaves, seeds, minerals, and occasionally some animal-derived compounds that are combined into formulas tailored to each individual’s needs. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine operates very differently from taking one single herb or ingredient. The multi-herb formulas are designed to work together and influence multiple physiological pathways at the same time.

We are reaching the end of National Sleep Awareness Month 😴

MIHS co-owner and TCM practitioner Said Isayed explains, “stomach and stress” are the two most important factors in a TCM approach to healthy sleep. While stress is well documented as a contributing factor to sleep, Said feels that one thing people misunderstand about sleep is the role of the stomach. He points to 胃不安则卧不宁, a TCM expression translating to:

“If your stomach is not good, your sleep is not peaceful.”
Said explains, “People who have digestive issues tend to have sleep issues as well. �

Myofascial Release is a hands-on technique used to manage myofascial pain. “Myo” means muscle. “Fascial” refers to the connective tissue that covers and supports the muscles throughout your entire body. During myofascial release therapy, your therapist doesn’t focus specifically on your muscles. They focus on releasing tension in your fascial tissues.

💐Welcome Spring! 💐

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is rooted in nature itself. As human beings, we are not separate from nature. Indeed, we are nature, interconnected with all of life on our planet. In TCM, each season is connected to an element and an organ system. Spring is associated with the element wood and the organs liver and gallbladder.
