Probably the #1 reason I switched my career from Western medicine to Chinese medicine is because I discovered the endless care and consideration they bring to the immune system. Being trained in immunology, I knew there was a huge missing piece to immune healthcare that our Western conventional approach was lacking. I also have been observing over the last several months of the pandemic that education around how to take care of the immune is missing from mainstream media. I...t is most certainly true that those with stronger immune systems experience either little or no symptoms, where as those with more serious medical conditions and weakened immune systems are likely to have severe complications due to COVID-19. I'd like to take a moment to let you know what you can do to help yourself survive the winter with a stronger constitution in tact.

Did you know acupuncture has been shown to increase the release of endorphins, the body’s own ‘feel-good’ chemicals? Which plays an important role in the regulation of physical and emotional stress responses such as pain, heart rate, blood pressure and digestive function. All of these acupuncture mechanisms have a direct effect on reducing anxiety.The conventional treatment of anxiety primarily involves some combination pharmacological and psychological interventions. ... In recent studies, acupuncture has been able to successfully treat stress and anxiety better than the usual combo of pharmaceuticals and psychotherapy that western medicine prescribes. We know it’s easy to feel alone during these rough times. We are currently open, practicing safe guidelines, and are more than willing to lend a helping hand to our community. #acupuncturelife #tcm #healthyself #bayarea See more

One of the things that makes redwoods so resilient is they have 3 times the DNA of any other tree!!! They are the tallest living organism on the planet. This one here is well over 2000 years old! A lot of the old growth woods can withstand forest fires while the underbrush of burns away. While a lot of California is burning down, these trees give a sign of hope, not all is lost.Appreciating the strength of nature during these times can sooth the heart. We need to take car...e of this earth even now more than ever. Us humans logged 95 % of old-growth redwoods away in the late 1800’s early 1900s. I think it’s necessary we talk about trees and what we’ve done and how to remedy our impacts on global warming. I have a practice where I talk to trees when I’m out forest bathing.Asking for forgiveness, thanking them, and appreciating everything they do for us that allows us to take a deep oxygenating breathe. I’m always amazed at how this changes my mood, opens my heart, settles the nervous system and develops a sense of connection to many other beings. When its hard to find a moment of gratitude in your personal life, it’s sometime easier to search for what’s right outside under our noses. #nature #oldgrowthforest #redwoods #redwoodsnationalpark #prairecreekredwoodsstatepark #bigtree #forestbathing #takeahike #acupuncture #herbalmedicine #calm #naturelover #healingtrees See more

During times like these, where anxiety and insomnia are on the rise, we like to promote ways that you can take care of your well-being in the comfort of your own home Here we have our acupuncturist, Rebecca, demonstrating how to use a tiger warmer and moxa stick within the ear. The tiger warmer acts as a heat conductor to stimulate vital acupuncture points. This induces relaxation throughout the body and works great on adults AND children. #traditionalhealing #acupuncture #sanfrancisco #bayarea #alternativemedicine #TCM #selfcaresundays #healthiswealth #preventativecare #relax #sleepwell #insomia #anxietyrelief #insomniarelief #tigerwarmer

Breathe, breathe often, and breathe deeply. Do us a favor today and breathe for those who are no longer on this Earth. Breathe for those who struggle to do so. Breathe for your own inner being, because sometimes we all need a little reminder that we are all apart of creation, and that life is meant to be lived.

Nikki, our office manager, is finally back in the clinic! She has returned from her maternity leave and is already receiving post-partum treatments so that she can properly heal from giving birth. Receiving care here has helped her bring in more milk supply to nourish her little one and it has also significantly helped her with the pain that sometimes comes with breastfeeding. Acupuncture is a must in post-partum care. After a woman’s body has been put through that amount... of stress, plus a flood of hormones--it’s only right to seek a practitioner that integrates healing every vital system of the mother as a whole. We are proud to be supporting women who are raising the next generation #womenempoweringwomen #postpartumcare #traditionalcare #alternativehealing #sanfrancisco #bayarea #lowerpacificheights #japaneseacupuncture #acupuncture #healthyself See more

Sneak Peak this week: I have been blending astrology and qi gong in classes recently and people are loving it! It’s a fantastic way to energize and ground yourself leading to feeling relaxed yet alert!. We look at key factors in the cosmos for the day to inform us how and what exercises to practice. Seeing the astrology lets us know which energies to take advantage of and which ones to transform. Chinese medicine and Qi gong is wonderful at bringing balance to your bod...y, mind, and emotions. Qi Gong is simple and allows you to engage with a movement based meditation. This is a much needed practice at this time as we traverse what is happening across the globe. Tuesday we’ll ground out the electric Uranian energy that might be agitating our nervous system with the earth element available from the Moon in Capricorn trining Uranus. Thursday we’ll enhance the clarity of Mercury in Aries by creating more focus and concentration to our very active minds with Qi Gong for the brain. Join me Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:00-9:30 am DM me for zoom link Donation based $10-$20 Venmo @rebecca-fettig-1

China appears to have plateaued with the number of COVID-19 cases mid February. There are a number of reasons for this including ambitious containment efforts and the solidarity of provinces sending support to those communities most vulnerable. I’d like to highlight foremost their integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) along with western medicine that was ordered by the Chinese government on February 10, 2020. More than 85% of all patients with coronavirus, approximately 60,000 people, received herbal treatment along with western medicine treatments as of the end of February 2020. Chinese herbal formulations have played an integral role in saving lives in this current pandemic and many epidemics in the past as well. https://www.goldenpointacupuncture.com//what-you-might-not

Life is Precious. Time to enjoy yourself, your interests, your habits. What are your essentials for self-care? Has your disciple increased? It has to if you haven’t figured that out yet. What if you turned off netflex? What if you didn’t put intoxicants such as alcohol into your body? What if this was the golden opportunity to see what do YOU like? What makes YOU tick? What are your treasures for self care and self preservation? If you are extroverted or even if you ...are introverted, maybe its time to turn into a leader and start an online forum or gathering that serves your community. The Chinese character for the english word crisis has opportunity within it. If you take something away, something else will come in its place. What is that for you? Do you have to DO something? Can you just BE? Can you just sit? Can you just breath? What are YOU feeling called to do? Read a bunch of news and be on your phone? Where does the education of the world news stop and your excessive scrolling begin? Can you catch yourself? Put the phone down, get up, walk, stretch, read wise words that enhance wise choices and wise action. Are you using this time to manifest your next becoming? Is that becoming something that is ego driven or is it service driven? Can that becoming enhance livelihood for you and your loved ones? Or is it self-gratifying? Do you understand where that line in the sand is drawn between ego and humility? What is your opinion and what is true? is your opinion really true for all people or is it just something that belongs to you? Do you need to profess it as if it were true? Do you see what others are going through at this time? your neighbor, the people you use to see at your local stores, coffee shops, and places you frequent? Those who give you services? What about those you call your extended family? The ones you don’t talk to very often? Do you see how the pandemic might be affecting them? Can you help? Can you send them love and care form your heart? Can you feel that? Can you send yourself love and care? Can you feel this?

Are you an acupuncturist and have always wanted to know how to work with moxibustion that is safe for the patient and easy to administer? You cannot miss this opportunity to see Koshiishi Sensei in Los Angles alongside Dr. Yuki Itaya. Koshiishi Kyu is an extremely effective method of working with moxa therapy that is gentle, warming, and never burns or is too hot for the patient. I've seen it work well in my clinic for skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema as well as autoimmune conditions, and gynecological issues such as endometriosis. It also is fantastic at pain management and changing dense tissue.

Acupuncture doesn’t always have to involve pinning the body with needles. It also includes the use of these tiny magical tacks referred to as Acupuncture Press Needles. Here at Golden Point Acupuncture, they are used to treat any chronic pain or simply to give our patients relief that they can take home with them. The tack continues to perform therapy so that the patient can go about their daily business without interruption. Don’t underestimate the size of these babi...es, they can provide the body constant relief that lasts!! #pressneedles #acupunctureworks #traditionalhealing #sanfrancisco #bayarea #tcm #japaneseacupuncture #lowerpacificheights #alternativecare @ Golden Point Acupuncture See more

Help us in wishing safe travels to our founder here at Golden Point Acupuncture as she ventures off for her silent retreat! . . . As much as I love the clinic, my patient population, and working with the healing modalities of Japanese and Chinese medicine, I also deeply love taking time for mediation practice. It has been my favorite tool, mind/heart training that is out there. When I first started going on silent retreats, I felt like going in for a week or so was equivale...nt to many years of therapy. It was a radical reshaping of the mind and emotional responses. As I keep going over the years, it has been the greatest body purification I have ever witnessed, more so than any detox plan, yoga program, or medicine ever provided me. I now go to the cushion not just for myself, but for all of you! My heart has opened to so much more with this practice. It has lead me to see the unity of humanity, the preciousness of the earth, the mysterious that defies science, and the miraculous ever-changing soul. I sit and disconnect for these short periods of time to know the deepest felt sense of connection to all of you and the cosmos. I hope it continues to make me a better healer, friend, and member of society. ~Rebecca Fettig L.Ac. . . . Feel free to book with our other acupuncturist on board, the lovely Amber Bryan L.Ac. She will be covering for Rebecca while she is away. #silentretreat #cloudmountainretreat #meditate #sanfrancisco #acupuncture #TCM #bayarea #alternativehealth #traditionalhealing See more
