Echo Park Community Acupuncture

Working from home has gotten all of our bodies feeling a little tight. Here's how to stretch and release some of that tension.

A Quick lesson about autoimmune diseases. It takes an average of three years and five doctors for a person to get a proper diagnosis of an autoimmune disease. I...t is a disease where instead of your white blood cells protecting your body from invaders, they turn around and attack your cells, tissues and organs. Chronic fatigue is another symptom. It is not a cold or the flu, you will never get better, and even a nap will not help. Just eating a salad and hitting the gym won’t slim your face or get the pounds off. Sleeping 10 hours doesn’t leave you well rested, ever. The last minute changes in plans because that just got ran over feeling never makes appointments, it just walks in whenever you aren’t ready. Painful joints, muscles and bones, dry skin, breaking hair, hair loss, mood swings, and depression are just the tip of the iceberg. You are also prone to having multiple autoimmune diseases, they typically come in pairs of two. You easily catch viral and bacterial infections. You have days where no matter how hard you try, you just can’t smile for anyone. I urge you to think twice before passing judgment and thinking our nation is overreacting to the extra measures being taken to curb the spread of this virus. YOU might be able to recover from it no problem however, carry it to someone with an autoimmune disease and that individual won’t be as lucky.

This was very easy to do. Testing is available now to EVERYONE. https://covid19.lacounty.gov/testing/

An acupuncture clinic is a healthcare facility. It is an essential business. As we remain open, we will continue to wipe everything down with disinfectant (even the pens and pencils) and schedule our patients to avoid more than one per hour. We do not allow anyone who has had exposure or a travel history in the past 14 days or anyone exhibiting signs of cold or flu into our clinic. All patients must wear masks and will be required to wash their hands before and after treatmen...t. Until we deem it necessary to close, if there’s a rise in the curve, we will adhere to these protocols. Most of the hardest hit Covid-19 patients had/have underlying health problems. Let us help you with any underlying issue. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal formulas can boost the immune system better than any known medicine. Major developments were made during epidemics in ancient times. We got this! See more

Valerie Brown is my friend and colleague. In 2011 when I decided that I had to open my own community acupuncture clinic in Echo Park with a little over a thousa...nd bucks, she was ever so generous with encouragement and advised to stop worrying about the bullshit. That’s what I needed to hear because I was terrified. Let’s wish her well and that she lands back on her feet! See more

Why soap works against the coronavirus

As we remain open, we will continue to wipe everything down with disinfectant (even the pens and pencils) and schedule our patients to avoid more than 2 per hour with recliners 6 feet apart. We will not allow anyone with symptoms into our clinic. All patients will be required to wash their hands before and after treatment. Until we find it necessary to close we will adhere to these protocols.

We at EPCA believe that panic is not a sensible reaction to the Covid-19 epidemic. We strongly recommend optimal self-care in terms of healthy eating, hydration, adequate sleep, good hygiene as in developing a consistent hand washing habit and smart housekeeping at home and the workplace. In Asia, it is common to wear face masks during cold and flu season. It should catch on here. But, do not wear a mask if you are healthy. If you are having signs of cold or flu, please stay ...home and rest. We also ask that when you come in to wash your hands before and after treatment. Studies have shown that we commonly touch our faces up to 23 times a minute. Reports are coming in that our Traditional Chinese Medicine has been the only effective treatment for this virus! We do carry a very effective immune boosting herbal formula to prevent viral attack. This too shall pass. See more
