Hypnosis has a reputation in pop culture for being kinda hokey 🤪

But in reality, it’s a deeply, relaxing experience 😌

It gets you out of fight or flight ✈️

It can deal with an assortment of concerns not just smoking 🚬

It helps you take control in your life 👍🏻

I’m currently taking classes to become a clinical hypnotist so stay tuned for the official roll out of new offerings 🎉

Twelve years!!! 😇 🎉

It’s been quite a dozen years, right?! 😅 But we’re still here 🤗 We couldn’t have done it alone. HUGE thanks to this community, our patients, families, friends, colleagues, teachers, mentors, neighbors! ❤️ You have been been endlessly supportive and loyal. We appreciate you so much.

👉HOW DID PALMGREN START?

In 2013, after graduating acupuncture school, Lynn moved to Oak Park (where she only knew 2 people) and started Palmgren Acupuncture in one room with zero income and zero patients 😬 She filled her first office with furniture from her friends and family 🛋️

A year later, her husband Nick (also an acupuncturist) joined the practice as an owner and they built this small business together:

✅ Expanding from 1 treatment room to 5
✅ Growing from 1 acupuncturist to 4 acupuncturists, 1 massage therapist, and a full-time administrative assistant and marketing assistant
✅ Adding therapeutic massage to our services
✅ Expanding from 5 Chinese herbal formulas to over 50
✅ Reinventing our practice during the pandemic and bouncing back
✅ Building a profitable and flourishing practice
✅ Providing +19,000 massages and acupuncture treatments
✅ Recommending 1000s of Chinese herbal formulas
✅ Helping countless people change and transform their lives for the better

👉We’ve got an incredible group of people who work here who all get along. We hope when you come in, you feel something special here, too. 🥰

To many more successful years 🥂

Much love, 💕
Lynn, Nick, Kholood, Pearl, Angelique, & Jessica

Grab your blanket and let’s get cozy! 🍂🧡🎃🫖

This is one of my favorite autumnal teas 🍁

It’s kinda amazing:
✅ 3 simple ingredients
✅ They’re all likely in your kitchen right now and ✅ They’re all Chinese herbs 😏

What you’ll need for this RECIPE🫖
4 c water
2-4 cinnamon sticks
6-10 whole cloves
1-2 peels, tangerine or other citrus (fresh or dried)

Add sweetener if you wish and enjoy warm! Cheers!

WHAT ON EARTH DO THESE CHINESE HERBS DO?
🤎 Cinnamon - warming, improves digestion, helps with common cold symptoms
🤎 Tangerine peel - stops cough, regulates digestion
🤎 Cloves - very warming, improves digestion

If you tend to run cold or get easily chilled, this is the perfect tea for you 🥰

GENERAL WARNING if you want to try Chinese herbs please as a personal favor work with a Chinese herbalist who is board certified. Safety first 🦺 And if you’re in the Chicago area and you’re interested in trying herbs, we know a few good ones 😉

Our Story

Palmgren Acupuncture opened its doors in 2013. Since then, we have proudly called Oak Park home. Owned and operated by husband and wife team, Nick and Lynn Arestopoulos, LAc., we love helping people live healthier, fuller, and longer lives. We specialize in pain management, stress reduction, and weight loss. We’re passionate about encouraging people to try acupuncture and massage to accomplish their health goals.

Our team is fired up about healing the world with Traditional Chinese Medicine and massage. We’re motivated by our mission to prevent unnecessary surgeries and medications so people can achieve optimal health. We’re proud to be the recipient of the 2019 Small Business Superhero Award from the Oak Park - River Forest Chamber of Commerce.

We started as a small clinic with 1 practitioner and 1 treatment room and have grown to 4 amazing practitioners and now 4 treatment rooms. We’re grateful to be a part of this community and offer love and acceptance to everyone we’re able to help.

As we adapt to the world around us, we are offering online/virtual services to help even more people during this epidemic. Our physical clinic is closed temporarily until further notice. We’re devoted to keeping you happy and healthy through it all.
