Acupuncture is well known to help reduce pain and the chinese medicine approach to lifestyle management is meant to further reduce pain and make it more manageable at home.

Inflammation is a so very prevalent in our society and is linked to so many diseases from arthritis to heart attacks to cancer and autoimmune disease.

In chinese medicine we aim to balance inflammation with things that are anti-inflammatory:

1. For example, getting enough exercise versus getting enough sleep/rest.
2. Balancing stress with fun or relaxing activities in our lives.
3. Eating something inflammatory with something anti-inflammatory at the same meal.

At our house we just saw the rainbow carrots that we planted over the long weekend begin to sprout! It's fun to see things growing but it's also nice to know we are doing something for our health as well as our budget with the increasing cost of foods. Carrots are anti-inflammatory so try growing a few in a pot of your own. It sometimes doesn't take much to balance the inflammation you are experiencing.

If you are experiencing the effects of inflammation, we at Coastal Health Clinic have both personal and professional experience with reducing it. It's one of our specialities so book your appointment now to start living life the way you really want to:

Allergies are a common concern in the spring as the immune system over reacts to proteins in the pollens released at this time of year.

The World Health Organization states acupuncture is an effective treatment to help calm down the nervous and immune systems and help prevent and treat an acute allergic reaction.

Just recently a client came in with the itch that often comes with the histamine release of an allergic reaction, feeling like their 'skin was crawling' and struggling to sit still and calm down. With appropriate treatment, the client was able to leave without a trace of the remaining itch and feeling much calmer.

If you are experiencing allergy symptoms or would like to take steps to help prevent them, have a look at the article listed below. At our clinic, you can also look at a few other steps to take such as foods or vitamins to help calm your immune and nervous systems. Book your appointment now to get started soon:

Just as you clean your house in spring, in Chinese Medicine it's important to clean your body as well.

So for optimum health this spring, try a few of these steps:

1. Eat Green! Fresh green plants in the spring provide lots of vitamins and minerals that provide energy for your cells too.
2. Taste Sour! Sour helps digest fresh foods so add some lemon to your water in the morning or make your salad dressing with apple cider vinegar.
3. Exercise Outside! Fresh air alkalinizes your body but also helps your lungs detox your body.
4. Stretch! All that extra exercise requires stretching to prevent injury to tendons and muscles.
5. Drink Milk Thistle Tea! It's known to help increase blood flow to the liver and help you detox.

It's important to take time to clean our bodies, just as we do our homes so try a few of the above suggestions this spring to boost your health and energy after the winter.

You can also add acupuncture or cupping as both are known to help with detox. Book your session today! https://coastalhealthclinic.setmore.com/

Happy New Year! We wish you all the very best this coming year. We've stepped out of another year of restrictions and sometimes treating ourselves just that little bit more to compensate for what we've missed. After all those extras, we're starting off the New Year in our home with something lighter, cooling, and yet so very delicious! It's one of our favourites and so simple to make: Wilted Shrimp Salad.
It's super easy!: Chop mushroom, tomato, bell pepper in a fry pan with extra thickened soup stock. Mix it all together with a little salt, pepper, oregano, and a bit of garlic and onion to taste. Boil frozen, uncooked shrimp in a pot until cooked and drain. Add 1 cup of parsley just before you serve! Toss the sauce on salad while still hot and enjoy! And......You've just had your serving of collagen for the day with the sauce!

With winter upon us, accidents are unfortunately a little more common in the snow and ice. Prepping your vehicle for the weather: https://www.almanac.com/content/winter-car-emergency-kit and knowing what to do when you're driving on icy roads is important: https://www.carfax.ca/resource-centre/articles/tips-to-drive-safely-on-icy-roads .

Sciatica is more common in winter. Why is that? According to chinese medicine wind, cold,and damp affect the body's ability to keep energy and blood flowing throughout the body or in western terms, your body carries more inflammation through the winter months. This causes muscles around the sciatic nerve to tense and put pressure on the sciatic nerve. Acupuncture is well known for relieving the pain of sciatica. You can read more about it here: https://www.healthcmi.com/Acupuncture-Continuing-Education-News/1903-acupuncture-mri-discovery-for-sciatica-relief

With Christmas soon approaching, here are some tips to enjoy the festive season in balance:
1. Control your intake: try to eat until you are 70% full (alcohol too!) and try to drink a warming tea before your meal to help your digestion.
2. Have fun!: We're in the midst of a pandemic which has limited our fun so make sure to choose those activities that bring you joy this season.
3. Make sure you find time to move!: We tend to ingest more carb and sugar and alcohol so balance includes burning off the extra internal heat with increased exercise. Whenever you know you'll be indulging, schedule a walk or hike or take the dog for an extra walk.
4. Rest: All of the fun is great for the yang aspect of life but it is important to rejuvenate the yin with rest and a few days to slow down without all the activity and social visits.
5. Treat Yourself: Christmas centers on gifts for others and socializing with friends and family. Be sure to include those things that take care of yourself and restore your energy right through the Christmas season. Go for a massage or book a treatment to re balance your digestion so that one excess meal doesn't build on the next.
