Although the holidays can be filled with rituals of another very special kind, usually our regular eating and wellness habits take a break too. Most healthy bodies can withstand a day or two of irregular, heavier meals. Eventually though, the “residue” left behind by sticky, rich, unusual meals can catch up with our digestion… often this leads to something we call “dampness” in eastern medicine. Imagine a greasy pot that you just can’t clean all the way!! Now, imagine your gastrointestinal tract covered in a layer of this slimey residue…

You can actually see evidence of this, more mucus in your nose and throat, a thicker tongue coat, bad morning breath. You may feel it as poor appetite, fatigue, gas, bloating, loose stool or constipation. So how do you eat what you want (mostly) AND suffer less!?

There is hope! Most importantly! Chew your food! Really chew it. Chew it so much that nothing recognizable passes down your throat. Think apple sauce consistency. Chew your soups, smoothies and puddings too 🤤 Your digestion needs the saliva and enzymes stimulated by chewing. Not only that but the action of slowing down and chewing your food will also stimulate other important processes like stomach acid and bile production, as well as proper peristalsis lower down in your gastrointestinal tract.

Next, add a little extra acid to your food. This may seem counterintuitive, but usually, almost all cases of acid reflux stem from not enough stomach acid being produced and your food hanging out in your stomach longer than it otherwise would. Adding a little extra acid to your meal in the form of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (or HCL capsules, the bio identical alternative) will actually help you digest the food and let it leave your your stomach in the right direction. The more you slow down, the more likely you are to produce the perfect amount of stomach acid for your meal.

We are passionate about helping our patients (and ourselves!) enjoy food in all its joys and nourishments. If your digestion is complex, we can help you.

Feeling puffy or water-logged? 👯 Let’s move lymph 👯

🜄 What lymph does:
Lymph helps clear cellular waste, balance fluids, and support immune function.

🜄 Why puffiness happens:
Travel, heat, PMS, salty or triggering foods, sluggish digestion, hormonal imbalances, illness recovery, low movement, poor sleep... and more!

🜄 How acupuncture helps:
Calm the nervous system → microcirculation ↑, digestion ↑, hormonal balancing ↑, inflammation and stagnation ↓ leads to → tissue and fluids move more efficiently → less puff, more ease.

🜄 How gua sha helps:
Light strokes follow lymph pathways → encourages superficial fluid movement → belly, jaw/eye/ankle de-puff.

🜄 What a session looks like:
Needle points + gentle facial/neck gua sha + breath cues + hydration. (No intense scraping when working with lymph )

🜄 Who it’s great for:
AM eye and facial puffiness, digestive or post-flight bloat, cycle-related swelling, jaw tension, desk neck, allergy season and more!

Did you know acupuncture on the scalp can influence your brain and nervous system?

Scalp acupuncture is often used to support:
✔️ Stroke recovery
✔️ Neuropathy and numbness
✔️ Migraines and chronic headaches
✔️ Dizziness or balance issues
✔️ Anxiety, PTSD, and neurological conditions

By stimulating specific zones on the scalp, we activate the body’s own ability to restore function, calm the nervous system, and reduce pain.

📍 Offered here in Pasadena as part of our integrative acupuncture treatments.

👉 Curious if scalp acupuncture could help your symptoms?

If you're struggling with pain, acupuncture is a natural and effective option for you.

We are passionate about navigating complex health issues and pain.
