In Chinese Medicine, healthy hair is dependent on abundant flow of blood and Qi 💇🏻‍♀️ When there is a deficiency of either Qi or Blood (more often blood) or stagnation of Qi or Blood, the hair follicles aren't able to receive the nourishment they need to grow healthy hair.

Typically, blood and Qi deficiencies are caused by poor diet or digestive issues which prevent proper absorption of nutrients. Qi and Blood stagnation are often caused by stress or hormone imbalances (very common in perimenopause).

Acupuncture improves the flow of Qi and Blood to the scalp and body to improve hair growth ☯ Chinese herbs are often used to nourish the blood and Qi to prevent excess hair shedding.

Visit my blog on hair loss support through the link in my bio. There are recommendations which
address hair loss from both an external and internal perspective through the lens of Chinese Medicine.

Obviously, everyone is unique. If you would like to schedule a consultation to receive more specifics, please schedule an acupuncture consultation through the link in my bio.

Nervines are a category of herbs that support and nourish the central nervous system. They can be used to restore balance and help soothe an overstimulated or stressed nervous system - stress, anxiety, or insomnia, anyone?

This page is from the book Naturally by
It's a wonderful book for seasoned herbalists as well as those interested in knowing more about using herbs in your everyday life. It includes recipes as well as a very thorough index so you can look up specific herbs.

I also have a link to my newsletter in my bio if you'd like more specific recommendations for herbs to help reduce stress and regulate the nervous system. We all seem to need that more than ever right now💗

This summer, I walked through this beautiful labyrinth at while I was visiting on Whidbey Island. A labyrinth is a windy, often circular path with only one route with no dead ends or wrong turns. It allows those who walk it to reflect, focus, and find inner peace.

As Fall finally comes in Austin (yay cold front this week! 🍁🧡), it hits me how symbolic a labyrinth is for autumn: a time to move slowly, quietly, and reflectively.

In Chinese Medicine, the Lungs and the Large Intestine, the organs of release and reflection, are associated with the fall season as well as the emotion of grief. Fall is the season of contraction and turning inward. It is a season of letting go. This season invites us to release what no longer serves us, to evaluate our values and to contemplate how we want to live. Like the trees shedding their leaves, the release makes way for a deeper reserve and peace within us.

This Fall, give yourself permission to slow down, breathe deeply, and notice what wants to be shed and released. Take time to read and journal. Savor your coffee or tea in silence. Enjoy an acupuncture session. And perhaps walk a labyrinth ꩜ 🤍
Have you ever walked a labyrinth?

The Fall season is the best time of year to improve lung health. Taking time to eat and prepare healthy foods to support the lungs will ensure strong lungs throughout the upcoming year. This is especially important for allergy sufferers or those who frequently catch colds or flu as the temperatures drop. Pears, apples, almonds, cauliflower, mushrooms, oats, potatoes, rice, and sesame seeds are some of the foods that nourish the lungs. Follow the link in my bio for more ways to nourish your lungs during this season.

The treatment includes the face and neck as well as nano-needling under the eyes + lips. We use a face mask as well as LED light therapy to help reduce redness post-treatment. We conclude the treatment with high quality skincare serums from . With minimal downtime (back to normal the next day) and a series of sessions no more than once per month (most people notice bigger changes after 3 treatments), it is the perfect natural and non-toxic treatment.

By now, everyone should know about my obsession with cupping! I love my plastic and glass ones, my heart-shaped cups by (both plastic and ceramic ones!). I cannot get enough of my silicone facial cups by . Basically, I love them all! 😉

People often ask me how I decide which ones to choose. I decide based on a number of possibilities:
· the season of year (we typically do not need more 🔥 during Texas summers!)
· the constitution of patient (cold vs hot natured)
· the condition being treated (hot/inflammation or cold)
· the location of the problem area (smaller plastic ones are great for the neck area near the hair)

One thing that people might not realize about fire cupping is that it is wonderful to use when first coming down with a cold. The technique of sliding the cups up and down the back helps open the pores and allow the body to expel the pathogens. It is also wonderful to open up the lungs with respiratory issues and loosen the muscles that get tight from coughing too much.

Book a cupping session through the link in my bio to try it out or ask me about it at your next acupuncture session.
What is your experience with cupping? Do you love it as much as I do? ❤️🔥

Stomach 36 is a great acupuncture point for the transition into Fall 🍁 It's the single most important point in the body to stimulate the Stomach and the Spleen to generate Blood and Qi. It is considered one of the most vital points to strengthen our immunity as well as our digestive system.

You can find this point by placing 4 fingers perpendicular to your leg below the kneecap. Then slide those fingers to the outside of your lower leg bone (the tibia) where you feel a little divot next to the bone with your lower finger.

To stimulate this point, just place a finger on this point and press & hold for 30 seconds to one minute. I also love using an ear seed on this point to help support the spleen and stomach and moxa to boost immunity 🧡 🙏🏻

Book an acupuncture session through the link in my bio and we'll be sure to use ST 36 to support your immune system!

Late Summer is the transitional period of time between the third week of August until the Fall equinox (September 22nd). It corresponds with the Earth Element in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Many people may experience more digestive issues, worry, heaviness in the joints, low energy, and sugar cravings during this time. In Austin, it may seem too soon for warming spices but it is a good time to add small amounts of warming spices back into our diets. Warming spices strengthen digestion, tonify the spleen & stomach, and support immunity. I also highly recommend skipping the in favor of the It tastes like Fall 🍂
Seasonal changes are also a great time to receive acupuncture. Schedule a session through the link in my bio to strengthen digestion and immunity for the transition into Fall. 🍁
