Tips for conquering acne from our facial rejuvenation acupuncturist, Paige .art.of.acu

💛 Apple Cider Vinegar 💛

Apple cider vinegar can be a life saver. This natural product has strong anti-microbial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.

This over-the-counter product also contains natural acidity which balances the pH of your skin and encourages the growth of healthy bacteria flora on the skin.

Studies have shown that lactic acid can help reduce the prevalence of acne. Use this product as a toner after cleansing and before moisturizing.
•
•
💛 Turmeric Face Mask 💛

Turmeric is well known for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.

Here is a great home remedy to reduce redness, the prevalence and size of blemishes as well as reducing hyper-pigmentation and scars caused by acne:

- 1/2 teaspoon of organic turmeric
- 2 tablespoons of organic plain yogurt
- 1 teaspoon of raw honey (Manuka provides the most health benefits)

Combine the above ingredients into a thick paste. Gently cleanse the skin, and apply to the face with clean hands avoiding the eye area.

Let sit for 10-15 minutes and rinse.

*Turmeric can cause temporary staining for those with light skin. If staining occurs gently, wipe the area with a milk soaked cotton ball.

💛 Clean Makeup Brushes 💛

When was the last time you cleaned your makeup brushes and sponges?

These forgotten beauty products can be a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause and worsen acne.

Clean your brushes weekly with a mild soap, and allow then to dry completely before use.
•
•
💛 Facial Renewal Acupuncture 💛

Facial Renewal Acupuncture can also be a very effective way to treat and reduce cystic acne.

Acupuncture works by inserting tiny needles into the face, causing positive micro-trauma to the area. This micro-trauma signals the production of collagen and elastin to the area, healing blemishes, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and smoothing skin complexion.

Posted • WE ARE HERE FOR YOU, and we feel that it is so important to us to help protect our families and communities.
•
As a small business, it has been hard for us to know the best action to take, given the currently growing COVID-19 situation.
•
This morning, the Prime Minster advised that all Canadians should stay home. Dr. Theresa Tam, our Chief Public Health Officer explained that the window to flatten the curve is narrowing, and that now is the critical time to act if we are to make a difference.
•
Meanwhile health authorities, intimate with the unfolding situation in other countries are urging us to learn from what we have observed, and to act fast.
•
One of our dear WFH Team Members is immune-compromised and many of us have vulnerable family members or friends who would be very negatively impacted if they were to contract this disease.
•
We also have friends and family members currently working on the already overwhelmed front lines, who are urging everyone to please stay home.
•
Also, as we understand, can be contagious when carriers are pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic.
•
For all of these reasons, we have made the very difficult decision to take the recommended extra precautions to close the clinic for the next 2 weeks.
•
We plan to reopen for business again on March 30th, and will notify you if there is any change.
•
In the meantime, WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!
•
Please feel free to EMAIL or DM us with ANY QUESTIONS at all.
•
You can either email your WFH practitioner directly, or our administrator:

During the closure, we are also offering:
•
DISTANCE VIDEO CONSULTS:
Complete Health Audits
Treatment Plans
Chinese Herbal Consults

Contact us to book in. See link in bio

Also, please continue to hang out with us on social media, we’ll be posting throughout the weeks with more information and tips on how you can support yourselves naturally throughout this time.

This medicine never ceases to amaze me! Cancer impacts us all, and has become increasingly more prevalent. To be able to provide some relief during such a difficult time in someone’s life cancer or otherwise is why I practice this medicine.
Often times we are the last resort for treatment of difficult ailments where conventional medicine has failed, and this is where acupuncture shines.
Let’s make acupuncture more mainstream, so people don’t have to suffer!

A trial found 68% of cancer patients who suffer with neuropathy saw their symptoms lessen.

I’m always looking for natural alternatives to staying healthy during cold and flu season.
I’ll be keeping up with my vitamin D this winter. If you hate taking pills (like me), you can also find vitamin D in drop form.

For all those also trying to conceive this year Vitamin D has also been linked to higher fertility and pregnancy rates.

We are led to beleive that the Flu Vaccine is the only choice when it comes to prevention of Influenza, when in fact, there's mounting evidence Vitamin D is another reputable choice.

“Cells outside of the s***m were transmitting information into future generations.”

Wow! This solidifies the importance of pre-conception health. What a cool study!

Seminal research reveals that s***m change their cargo as they travel the reproductive tract—and the differences can have consequences for fertility
