Traveling this season and looking for a way to stay healthy? Using an essential oil throat spray is really awsome for prevention of colds, flus and various upper respiratory infections. It’s my go to for airport travel. Because viral infections can linger in the throat before moving deeper into the body, disinfecting the throat is a powerful and simple way everyone can practice to stay healthy.... Such ingredients as Myrhh, Clove and Sweet Orange have been shown in studies to deactivate viruses. Anybody else want to share how they protect themselves when travelling? . . . . #prevent #stayhealthy #essentialoilswork #herbsheal #chinesemedicineworks #travelsafely

Did you know certain essential oils have been proven in studies in addition to being used for thousands of years to deactivate viruses? Their chemical constituents such as carvacal, egenol and menthal are just some of the active ingredients responsible for the deactivation process and work quickly. It’s always a smart practice to include essential oils that include these important ingredients into a healthy routine that prevents and even lessens the severity of the various co...lds and flus that are present this time of year. Myrhh, Clove, Orange and Peppermint are just some of the oils containing the chemical constituents responsible for the powerful antiviral properties. Some of my favorite ways to use these oils are in a room diffuser, surface cleansers and throat sprays. Have any favorite oils you like to use in the prevention of colds or flus? Please share. . . . . . #essentialoilswork #herbsheal #functional medicine #chinesemedicine #prevention #stayhealthy

It was great to immerse myself in nature without the distractions of our modern day culture... no tv, no cell service or artificial lights. Wow!

I’m constantly expanding my knowledge base to help you guys! This upcoming class will further increase my knowledge of safe and effective ways to support immunity and rebalance respiratory disorders-topics especially relevant today. There is so much misinformation out there right now that is disempowering, feeding fear and misunderstanding about how our bodies work. I feel blessed to be here at this time to expose more light on the truth of how our perfect design is made to ...thrive and how we can best strengthen and heal ourselves. My first introduction into the world of integrative medicine was 17 years ago through the very powerful but subtle use of essential oils. You will notice I use them during treatments to help with conditions ranging from pain, anxiety, digestive upset, detoxification and infertility to name a few. I love using essential oils with patients during their treatments because they complement acupuncture and the use of herbal medicine so well. It’s amazing what our bodies are capable of when we hand them the right tools to heal themselves. Because we are a part of nature, we were designed to find much of our healing though the remedies that nature provides. Never underestimate the power of Mother Nature! . . . . . #mothernatureheals #chinesemedicineworks #essentialoils #herbsheal #integrativemedicine #empoweryourself #immunity #respiratorysupport

After getting back from vacation where cool mountain breezes were present regularly, I realized just how hot our Summer here in Huntington Beach is getting. I’m seeing how the heat is affecting patients too and just want to remind everyone to keep within yin yang balance. When it’s hot it’s best to increase our intake of cooling foods. Luckily, mother nature’s perfect design produces and increase of cooling foods during the warmer months. On your next grocery trip look for c...ooling foods such as watermelon, cucumbers, mint, dandelion greens, lotus root, seaweed, radishes and green tea. Seafoods such as clams and crab are preferred over hotter meats like chicken and beef. Try mixing more of these cooling foods into your daily diet during the summer and experience better health. Hope your staying cool and having fun this summer. . . . . . #Watermeloncools #yinyangbalance #chinesemedicineheals #Summertime #acupunctureworks #

How do you keep stress and negative moods away? The reality of the last few months is that mentally many are not doing well and I want to reach out and share support as many of my loved ones, my friends, patients and myself included have experienced our breaking point of trying to manage stress and the correlated mood changes that occur alongside it. Once your body repeatedly experiences stress you may notice feelings of overwhelm for no reason, a feeling of dread, disorganiz...ed attention, inability to finish tasks, a desire to isolate, crying spells, feelings of hopelessness as well as sleep disturbances. These are the symptoms patients and good friends are sharing with me. They are all symptoms I have witnessed in my community as I am out and about running errands and interacting with others. It’s changed my focus of how I usually treat too. I want to share natural and effective ways we can come back to our center of feeling calm, happy and at peace. Spend time with friends and loved ones as often as you can. Being around others naturally keeps your Serotonin and Dopamine levels in check. Don’t underestimate the powerful effects of human touch. Hugs are so healing in how they give us immune support, reduce blood pressure and increase our levels of oxytocin.(I could do an article on hugging for health at a later date as it is astounding what it can do for us.) Find time to be active, get a daily dose of sun and find ways to be with community wether it’s a cause your passionate about or a hobby pursuit that brings you joy. These are just a few suggestions...I’ll be announcing shortly community self care and stress relieving events in the very near future and have stocked my shelves with the appropriate herbal remedies needed at this time. Much love and peace everyone. . . . . . #chinesemedicineworks #immunesupport #mentalhealth #herbsheal #functionalmedicine #hugforhealth #communityheals

I’m sure you have seen my many posts about acupuncture and Chinese medicine’s role in boosting immunity, and yah, it works fabulously and instantaneously. But what about when your not in the office for a treatment? What are the other important ways to boost immunity? One of the most important ways to stay healthy and keep your immunity up is by ensuring you have a positive social community. Intuitively we know this. We were never meant to live alone. We thrive in community ...and scientific studies point out what happens when we self isolate. Prolonged self isolation leads to decreased immunity and depression. Health psychologists Sarah Pressner and Sheldon Cohen along with other researchers at Carnegie Mellon’s University’s laboratory for the study of stress, immunity and disease found self isolation and feelings of loneliness weakened immunity. In addition to having too small of a network and loneliness independently weakening immunity, chronic feelings of stress decreases immunity and is related to other problems such as heart disease. Specifically, individuals feeling stress and loneliness had fewer natural killer cells which fight off tumors and viral infections. These individuals were also found to stop producing immunity-boosting gamma interferon and infection fighting T-cells. The data revealed long term stress over months or years(we can all relate) impacted all aspects of immunity negatively. What’s more is that older populations and those who are already ill are more prone to stress related changes. This very important psychoneuroimmunology study encourages us to find ways out of isolation and lonliness. For many of us at this time this may look different than it did before we were asked to lockdown. We might feel apprehensive about reaching out to friends and loved ones. I’ve seen creative solutions to keeping community alive at this time and hope the trend continues. How are you staying connected and healthy at the moment? . . . . . #community #immunity #acupuncture #chinesemedicineworks #womenshealth #functionalmedicine #theivetogether #herbsheal

With all of our social distancing lately we can forget that we still can show love in powerful ways to those who need it most. One result of the lockdown has been increased domestic violence. The women’s shelters are overflowing and could use assistance. I’m collecting all needed items such as feminine supplies, laundry detergent, tooth paste and tooth brushes, diapers, formula, wipes and old mobile phones.... If you would like to bring these items with you to your next appointment or drop them by, I will get them to local shelters in need. Thank you!!! . . . . . #showsomelove#donate

At this time it can be hard not to be overwhelmed by feelings of worry and stress. We can more easily become disconnected from our bodies. Now is the time for enhanced self care that really nourishes, boosts immunity and feels amazing for you and your quarantine buddies. A foot massage is something wonderful we can give ourselves or a loved one. Check out my foot model for inspiration on areas you may want to concentrate on.... Any lotion or oil will do. Try adding a couple of drops of your favorite essential oil. A few minutes of love on each foot will transport you to a more relaxed and feel good state. . . . . . #footmassagesarethebest #feelbetteranyways #boostimmunity #relax #yougotthis

It is indeed still cold an flu season and a great way to help protect yourself and your family is with essential oils. You can easily diffuse these into the air of your home, office and car to boost your immunity. There are so many great antibacterial and anti viral essential oils worth keeping on hand. I diffuse Microbe X from Snow Lotus here at the office. It’s a simple blend of Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Niaouli. Of course, don’t forget the basic recommendations of the Worl...d Health Organization who encourage frequent hand washing, avoiding touching your eyes, face and hair and covering your mouth and nose when coughing/sneezing. This is also a great time to make nourishing soups with immune boosting herbs such as ginseng and garlic. Prevention is key... . . . . . #cold/flu season #herbsheal #prevent #chinesemedicineworks #essentialoils #diffuse #antibiral #antibacterial #teatree #eucalyptus #niaouli

This baby is done baking! This mama knows that acupuncture can help prepare the body for labor. Starting at 36 weeks, receiving regular acupuncture tailored for the labor process helps ensure the proper cascade of hormone reactions in the body for the best delivery possible. Acupuncture induction can be performed approximately 3 days before a medical induction.... And for those wanting to receive acupuncture during labor, pain can be reduced by as much as 50 percent. . . . . . #bunintheoven #acuounctureworks #chinesemedicineworks #naturallaborinduction #laborsupport #laborpreparation #smartmama

Because there is no true division between the mind, body and spirit what we think and say has an effect on our physical selves. You can eat all the right things, work out and do all the right things to maintain health but if your not feeding your body tons of self love through positive thoughts, feeling your best will be difficult. Why? Because every cell in our body reacts to everything we do and SAY. In traditional Chinese medicine the concept of Shen(the heart)is consid...ered the true mind instead of the brain. The heart, also known as the emperor organ reflects this to us in certain patterns we exhibit when we are in or out of balance. It’s not just the heart but every organ in Chinese medicine has specific emotions that are associated to it. To maintain a better balance physically, mentally and spiritually do a personal inventory on your moods, thoughts and what comes out of your mouth. These are clues to your health that your in control of. . . . . . #selflove #positivityheals #mindbodyconnection #chinesemedicineworks #healthyshen

Moxa(mugwort) is such an amazing herb to warm the meridians in the body. It’s specifically being used here at the bottom of the foot at the first acupuncture point on the kidney meridian at the acupuncture point known as the gushing spring to warm the all important Kidney meridian. When our energy stores in the body become low, the kidneys send much needed energy in their direction. If we don’t keep up with our kidney health, it won’t be able to keep up with our body’s demand...s for energy. In addition to giving us a boost of energy, keeping the kidney meridian balanced ensure that we can better keep anxiety away, diffuse hot flashes, reduce hypertension and insomnia. Here are some tips to keep up with your kidney health according to Chinese medicine principals: Incorporate saltier foods, beans, bone broth and sea food into your diet. Get to sleep before midnight. Rest when you feel tired. Take breaks and de stress often. . . . . . #chinesemedicineworks #kidneyhealth #destress #moxa #acupunctureworks #herbsheal

We all know it takes two to make a baby yet all to often only women seek fertility treatment. In up to 50% of infertile couples worldwide the man is infertile. Thankfully there are herbs and acupuncture treatment that boost sperm quality, mobility and quantity. I always recommend that couples both receive treatment herbally and with the proper acupuncture protocols to boost the likelihood of a healthy pregnancy. Herbs and acupuncture balance hormones, increase fertility, inc...rease blood flow to sexual organs and decrease stress that so often accompanies couples efforts to conceive. Already receiving IVF? Acupuncture and herbs also increase the effectiveness of these treatments.

How lucky was I this week when a dear friend, Beth, who also happens to be a master gardener brought me fresh figs and mint from her yard. Figs and mint both have cooling properties for our bodies which is exactly what’s needed in late summer. Figs can boost the Qi and blood in our bodies which means those who regularly consume these are boosting their immune power. The doctrine of signatures reminds us of the figs power to increase fertility. In addition to mint’s cooling pr...operty, it’s also great for moving liver Qi stagnation. If your feeling frustrated more often than not these days, your feeling the liver’s stagnation and can really use the extra help mint brings.

It’s true and yet we forget so often in our business that we are a part of nature. Our emotions point us towards our health challenges if we take the time to be still enough and listen. In Chinese medicine the emotions are a direct road map to what needs to be healed in the body. We all reflect different parts of nature through our being and our emotions are an integral part of this. Worry, grief, fear, anger and joy can all be seen as a clue to an imbalance in our system cal...ling out to be healed. As you become more connected to nature you can see the truth of this. The more time we spend in nature, the more easily we can heal ourselves. Even when we get sidetracked with the details of life this connection is still there. Be aware, plug back in to nature as often as possible. . . . . . #chinesemedicine #natureheals #emotions #acupuncture #herbsheal #naturalwellnesshuntingtonbeach #functionalmedicine #stayconnwcted #weheartit

Want to feel great more often? Get a regular seratonin, dopamine and oxytocin lift simply by viewing fresh flowers daily. Wether you buy them, grow them or pick them in the wild they will have the same positive effects for your body. These deeply nourishing hormones boost your immune system, speed up the healing of your health challenges, and boost your mood simultaneously just like when you get acupuncture. The different colors of flowers actually trigger these boosting hor...mones in the body. It’s all a part of mother nature’s perfect design and it’s programmed in our DNA. When we were hunter gatherers, seeing fresh pops of color gave us small dopamine hits encouraging us to choose a wide variety of food sources which in turn gave us the most varied nutrients and thus preventing disease. This is why eating the rainbow feels so good. It’s actually chemically rewarding to eat a variety of color aka fruits and veggies. Flowers, fruits and veggies are some of nature’s original and natural healers. . . . . . #chinesemedicine #naturalwellnesshuntingtonbeach #flowerpower #herbsheal #acupunctureworks #functionalmedicine #eattherainbow #weheartit #psychologytoday

Sciatica? Hip Pain? Tight IT band? Chinese Medicine is a huge proponent of releasing the meridians in the body that are blocked causing such pain through yin stretching. You see sciatica and hip pain are all known as excess yang conditions that effect the gallbladder and urinary bladder meridians in the body. The negative effects of having excess yang in these meridians in the body go far behind the immediate pain. If balance is not restored through these channels further pa...thological symptoms such as insomnia can become present. Supta Kapatasana or reclined pigeon restores proper Qi flow which in turn reduces pain and prevents disease. It can easily be done just a few minutes a day a feels sooo good. One of my favorite things here at the clinic is to encourage patients to make friends with yoga and I often give them poses to help their current situation. It speeds up healing and puts them in control of their health. Try Supta Kapatasana today.

Feeling broken hearted after the loss of a loved one or a break up? When our hearts are broken the brain centers associated with physical pain, sadness, depression and rumination light up. Our bodies have real physical responses to such a life event. Moving on can be a much faster and easier experience with acupuncture. Acupuncture actually releases stagnant energy in our heart center while inducing feel good hormones such as dopamine and seratonin. These are what give us the... good vibes we feel when we do fall in love. In addition to acupuncture treatments there are wonderful herbal treatments that treat a broken heart as well. So, get off your exe’s Facebook feed and start healing...the sooner you recover, the more available you will be for an even better partner. . . . . . #chinesemedicineworks #herbsheal #heartenergetics #brokenheart #healnow #seratonin #dopamine #functionalmedicine See more
