WELLNESS TIP WEDNESDAY Breaking patterns or habits that have been apart of our everyday life can be hard. It can weigh heavy and difficult to step out of what we are used to. Starting on the health journey can be just as difficult. We get used to certain foods, certain workouts, a specific mindset but not realizing it might be more harmful to stay in those patterns/habits. ... The change is uncomfortable and we aren’t always sure we are doing the right thing to heal. But once we begin to see AND feel improvement or positive change physically, mentally, and emotionally, we wonder why we haven’t switched sooner! Small steps and small adjustments help to allow time to get used to transitions. Switching out those chips for that apple or orange. Frozen dinner for a simple home cooked meal. Take a moment to meditate or stretch before starting the day. Getting in 30 minutes of a light workout or movement a few times a week. Start small. End up with big results. Not sure where to begin. Let’s chat to get you started. #wellnesstipwednesday #breakingthepattern #healing #healthylifestyle #smallchangesbigresults #health #balance #wellness #healer #herbalist #acupuncturist #holistichealing #cupping #herbalmedicine #nutritionaltherapy #essentialoils #autoimmunewellness #featherandleafacupuncture #longbeach #whittier #losangeles

It’s all in your head I often hear my patients tell me of a time when they were told these words when experiencing physical symptoms and pain. I have even experienced it myself, being a patient. (Even Acupuncturists need some medical treatment from time to time). It’s such a disheartening statement to be told what you are currently feeling or going through isn’t real or just a fabrication. *le sigh* ... However, as a patient and as a practitioner, my first suggestion to getting past these words is to know your body, knowing the triggers that might affect certain conditions or symptoms, and eliminating those triggers. Then treat your body as a temple with nourishing foods, daily movement, hydration, reduce stress factors, and routine check ups and preventative care such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutritional therapy and other holistic treatments. Listening to the body and treating it as a temple are the biggest steps to knowing what you are feeling and to be able to better communicate it to a medical professional. It is never easy hearing these words. But you know your body better than anyone and you know when things don’t feel right. As much as these words are discouraging, don’t let them be the end point in your health. Take them with a grain of salt (more like a huge cube with the amount of impact they can have) and use them as a starting point towards your healing journey. If you’re not sure where to start, let’s chat and get you on the right path of healing. #meaningfulmonday #awareness #itsallinyourhead #healingjourney #health #wellness #balance #autoimmunewellness #holistichealth #naturalmedicine #acupuncture #cupping #herbalmedicine #essentialoils #nutritionaltherapy #featherandleafacupuncture #longbeach

WELLNESS TIP WEDNESDAY When we begin our healing journey, we have to look at our daily habits and lifestyle. Usually, the healing begins with making changes to the major factors that cause a negative effect. These listed are the most common factors I see being the biggest issues for majority of my patients. ... It is difficult and definitely a life changer when you begin to adjust the routines to better suit your overall health. There is no one-fits-all method. It’s what you and your body best respond to in a healthy manner. It’s about getting to know your body and truly listening to all its signals. So if possible, take a minute to look at your daily routine or habits and evaluate what healthier changes could be implemented. If you’re unsure where to start or how to go about some new changes, let’s chat and help you figure out what would work best for you!

THERAPY THURSDAY Get that body moving! Movement is so so important to the body. It helps to keep the muscles taut, flexible, hydrated, and circulated. It allows the body to detox toxins and other nasty stuff from our systems. Increase energy, maintain weight, improve sleep, and enhance mood! ... Although. one should keep in mind, hitting the weights or going hard with some strenuous physical activity can build muscle, strength, and endurance, however, we have to remember the body is a biological machine. It will adapt but can always use the gentler side of things. So be aware of the wear and tear it battles on a daily basis. By incorporating some softer workouts can provide a balance that isn’t so straining or stressful. Pretty awesome. So try one of these if you haven’t already!

HERBAL TEA TUESDAY We forget the magic of teas and herbs are from plants we never imagined we would use. A weed, a twig, a flower or a small bush can make some of the best remedies. For example, one of my favorite plants to use is Dandelion. This weed is known to pop up in our yards or seen bursting through the cracks of the sidewalk. However, this herb is known for its powerful healing properties! Every part is used. The leaves, the stem, the roots, and the flowers. Each h...as its own specific functions. But to know most people would just step on or rip out this earthly medicine without knowing it’s real potential is a bummer. **Although, don’t go picking out the weed and start using it, it must be cultivated in a certain way to be used** So the next time you see a weed, give thanks because it could be a helping hand in someone’s healing journey. #herbalteatuesday #weeds #herbalmedicine #nutritionaltherapy #essentialoils #healnaturally #healingjourney #cupping #acupuncture #autoimmunewellness #featherandleafacupuncture

WELLNESS TIP WEDNESDAY Sometimes medicine can be taking a minute to be present in the moment. I wasn’t feeling the best yesterday. I had a ton of things going on and physically felt the weight of it all becoming a bit overwhelming. ... However, I took a moment to breathe and focus what was right in front of me. My Star Baby. She was so happy I sat on the bed with her and started to play. It cheered me up so much to see her happy, playing, and just being in present. It was what was needed. A break from everything.
