Hypnosis has a reputation in pop culture for being kinda hokey ๐Ÿคช

But in reality, itโ€™s a deeply, relaxing experience ๐Ÿ˜Œ

It gets you out of fight or flight โœˆ๏ธ

It can deal with an assortment of concerns not just smoking ๐Ÿšฌ

It helps you take control in your life ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Iโ€™m currently taking classes to become a clinical hypnotist so stay tuned for the official roll out of new offerings ๐ŸŽ‰

Twelve years!!! ๐Ÿ˜‡ ๐ŸŽ‰

Itโ€™s been quite a dozen years, right?! ๐Ÿ˜… But weโ€™re still here ๐Ÿค— We couldnโ€™t have done it alone. HUGE thanks to this community, our patients, families, friends, colleagues, teachers, mentors, neighbors! โค๏ธ You have been been endlessly supportive and loyal. We appreciate you so much.

๐Ÿ‘‰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 ๐Ÿ˜ฌ She filled her first office with furniture from her friends and family ๐Ÿ›‹๏ธ

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

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

๐Ÿ‘‰Weโ€™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. ๐Ÿฅฐ

To many more successful years ๐Ÿฅ‚

Much love, ๐Ÿ’•
Lynn, Nick, Kholood, Pearl, Angelique, & Jessica

Grab your blanket and letโ€™s get cozy! ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿงก๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿซ–

This is one of my favorite autumnal teas ๐Ÿ

Itโ€™s kinda amazing:
โœ… 3 simple ingredients
โœ… Theyโ€™re all likely in your kitchen right now and โœ… Theyโ€™re all Chinese herbs ๐Ÿ˜

What youโ€™ll need for this RECIPE๐Ÿซ–
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?
๐ŸคŽ Cinnamon - warming, improves digestion, helps with common cold symptoms
๐ŸคŽ Tangerine peel - stops cough, regulates digestion
๐ŸคŽ Cloves - very warming, improves digestion

If you tend to run cold or get easily chilled, this is the perfect tea for you ๐Ÿฅฐ

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 ๐Ÿฆบ And if youโ€™re in the Chicago area and youโ€™re interested in trying herbs, we know a few good ones ๐Ÿ˜‰

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. Weโ€™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. Weโ€™re motivated by our mission to prevent unnecessary surgeries and medications so people can achieve optimal health. Weโ€™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. Weโ€™re grateful to be a part of this community and offer love and acceptance to everyone weโ€™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. Weโ€™re devoted to keeping you happy and healthy through it all.
