Can acupuncture help with my _______? Fill in the blank, and I will answer how it can! ☯️

Just when you think you’re making a healthy choice… 🚨

A new investigation reveals that The Wonderful Company — makers of POM juice, Fiji Water, and Landmark Vineyards — is one of California’s top users of paraquat, a highly toxic weedkiller banned in over 60 countries and strongly linked to Parkinson’s disease, childhood leukemia, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

In 2021 alone, over 56,000 pounds of this chemical were sprayed on fields growing pistachios, almonds, and pomegranates. Paraquat lingers in soil for years and can drift into nearby communities, putting farmworkers and families at serious risk.

This is why reading labels isn’t enough — we have to know how our food is grown. Our health begins long before something hits our plate or our cup.

Choosing organic, regenerative, and transparent brands isn’t just a trend… it’s protection. 💚🌱

Got sciatica pain that just won’t quit? 😣

Good news — acupuncture doesn’t just help, it’s backed by research!

A new clinical trial showed that patients with chronic sciatica from a herniated disk had significantly less pain and better mobility after acupuncture treatments compared to fake (sham) acupuncture. 🙌

Acupuncture helps calm inflammation, relax tense muscles, and restore healthy nerve flow — so you can get back to moving freely again.

🥤 Smoothies might look healthy… but from a TCM perspective, they can actually weaken digestion and leave you feeling bloated or drained.

✅ Warm, simple, cooked meals (like soups) support your digestive fire (Spleen qi) so your body can actually use the nutrients you eat.

✨ Curious why smoothies may not be as nourishing as you think? Follow this link to read my newest blog post: https://shorturl.at/1ziH4
