“Should I take adaptogens for my hormones?”
Maybe—but only if you know which ones and when.

Adaptogens are powerful, but they’re not one-size-fits-all.

Here’s what often gets missed:
✔ Some boost yang → energizing, but can tip you into wired + restless
✔ Others nourish yin → grounding, but can feel heavy or sluggish if it’s not what your body needs
✔ Some combinations simply don’t match your constitution or phase of life

At Calm San Diego, we match herbs + adaptogens to you—your hormones, your nervous system, your cycle stage—so they restore balance instead of creating new imbalances.

Cold season is here. Energy is low. Your immune system needs backup.

Here's what we're telling our patients right now:
1. Astragalus (Huang Qi) 🛡️
The immune builder. Take preventatively—before you get sick.
2. Vitamin D3 ☀️
You're probably deficient. Essential for immunity, mood, and energy.
3. Reishi Mushroom 🍄
Calms your nervous system while boosting immunity. Great for stress + sleep.
4. Ginger + Cinnamon Tea 🫚
Warming from the inside. Supports digestion when it's cold.
5. Elderberry 🫐
Keep on hand for first sign of a cold. Can shorten how long you're sick.
6. Probiotics
70% of your immune system is in your gut. Feed it.

⚠️ Supplements support a body that's also resting and eating well. Not magic pills.

Curious what's right for YOUR body? We offer personalized recs based on your TCM diagnosis.

More hair in your brush than on your head? Let's talk about it.

In Chinese Medicine, hair loss often comes down to two things:
1. Blood Deficiency 🩸
Your hair needs blood to grow. When you're depleted, your hair shows it first.

Common causes:
→ Years of heavy periods
→ Pregnancy & postpartum
→ Chronic stress
→ Skipping meals or poor digestion

Signs:
→ Dry, brittle hair
→ Fatigue
→ Pale face
→ Light or missing periods

2. Kidney Essence Decline 🔋
Your Kidney system controls hair growth AND color. Around 40, these reserves naturally dip—but stress, overwork, and no rest speed it up.

Signs:
→ Thinning AND graying
→ Feeling older than your age
→ Low back weakness
→ Deep fatigue that sleep doesn't fix

What helps:

For Blood:
→ Bone broth, leafy greens, beets, eggs
→ Blood-building herbs (we can customize)
→ Rest. You can't build blood while burned out.

For Essence:
→ Black sesame, walnuts, seaweed, bone broth
→ Kidney-nourishing herbs
→ Protect your energy. Slow down.

The truth:
Hair loss is a signal, not just a cosmetic problem. Your body is asking for support.
We can help you figure out what's driving it—and what to do.

Forget the freeze-your-face, quick-fix approach.

At Calm San Diego, we see beauty as an inside-out process.
That’s why our cosmetic treatments don’t just target fine lines—they help restore your whole system.

✨ Cosmetic acupuncture works through the fascia to lift, tone, and improve circulation—while also calming your nervous system.
✨ Microneedling stimulates collagen naturally, helping reduce scarring, soften wrinkles, and brighten skin—without injectables.
✨ Paired with herbs, adaptogens, and nutrition, we help your skin reflect the balance happening beneath the surface.

Because your glow isn’t about chasing youth.
It’s about supporting longevity—blood, essence, yin, and spirit.

Love your family. Also need a break from your family during the holidays? Same.

Here's your pocket guide for staying sane this holiday season:

🆘 Holiday Stress SOS
Before the gathering:
→ Eat something. Low blood sugar + family drama = disaster.
→ Set a secret time limit. Give yourself permission to leave.
→ Take 5 deep breaths in the car before you walk in.
→ Pick up a calming herbal formula from our Calm herbalists beforehand. We've got you. 🌿

During:
→ Bathroom breaks are free therapy. Take them.
→ Hold something cold (drink, ice cube). Grounds your nervous system.
→ Find the dog. Pets don't ask about your love life.

Acupressure to the rescue:
→ Heart 7 (inner wrist crease, pinky side) — Press for 1-2 min. Instant calm.
→ Pericardium 6 (3 finger-widths up from wrist, between tendons) — Settles anxiety and nausea.
→ Yin Tang (between your eyebrows) — Quiets the mind. Press and breathe.

When someone says that thing:
→ Remember the Let Them Theory (Mel Robbins): Let them say it. Let them think it. Let them be who they are. It's not yours to control—and you don't have to react.
→ "Hmm, interesting." (Then walk away.)
→ You're not responsible for their opinions. You ARE responsible for your peace.

After:
→ Decompress. Walk, bath, silence, whatever.
→ Don't rehash every conversation in your head.
→ Book your post-holiday acupuncture. Seriously. You'll need it.

Need backup before the big day?
Stop by Calm and pick up herbs to support your nervous system through the holidays. Our herbalists can recommend the right formula for YOU—whether you need calm, energy, sleep, or all of the above.

You've got this. 💚

Save for emergencies! 📌

What if your holiday treat was actually good for you?

These little gummies are packed with gelatin—the stuff that heals your gut, supports your joints, and helps your skin glow. And they taste like candy.

🍬 Simple Healing Gummies
What you need:
→ 1 cup juice (tart cherry for sleep, grape, pomegranate, orange—whatever you like)
→ 3 Tbsp grass-fed gelatin powder
→ 1 Tbsp honey (optional, depends on your juice)
→ Silicone mold or small baking dish

What you do:

Pour juice into a small pot
Sprinkle gelatin on top, let it bloom 2 minutes
Warm over low heat, stir until dissolved (don't boil)
Add honey if you want it sweeter
Pour into molds
Fridge 30 minutes
Pop them out and enjoy

The Chinese Medicine angle:
Gelatin is deeply nourishing—it strengthens your gut lining, supports digestion, and rebuilds what all that holiday stress depletes. Think of it as edible self-care.

Fun upgrades:
→ Add fresh ginger juice for extra digestive power
→ Use tart cherry juice for better sleep
→ Squeeze in some lemon for a sour kick
→ Elderberry juice for immune support

Kids love them. Adults love them. Your gut loves them.

PSA: Your FSA funds may expire December 31st! 🗓️

Yes, you can use your FSA and HSA to pay for acupuncture. And if you have a ""use it or lose it"" plan, now's the time.
Here's what that means for you:

✅ Acupuncture is FSA/HSA eligible
✅ Use pre-tax dollars for your wellness
✅ Stock up on sessions before the year ends
✅ Don't let your hard-earned benefits disappear

Whether you've been curious about acupuncture or you're already a patient ready to book ahead—this is your sign.
Your benefits. Your health. Your choice to invest in feeling better.

📞 Questions about coverage? We're happy to help you figure it out. DM us or call the office.

This is your reminder: You can't pour from an empty cup. 🫗

We get it. Life is busy. Work is demanding. Everyone needs something from you.

But here's the truth your body already knows—when you skip self-care, everything gets harder. The stress builds. The tension settles into your shoulders. Sleep gets worse. Your patience runs thin.

Self-care isn't selfish. It's maintenance.

And no, it doesn't have to be a weekend retreat or an hour-long bubble bath (though we're not mad at those either 😌).

Sometimes self-care looks like:
→ 60 minutes on an acupuncture table
→ Actually taking your lunch break
→ Saying no to one thing this week
→ Booking the appointment you've been putting off

Your future self will thank you.
