Secret’s Out!

17/10/2023

“So do I have to be like naked?”

Here to answer a common FAQ.. what do you wear to acupuncture??

First of all, you will essentially be lying down relaxing for some time.. now is not the time for uncomfortable clothing! Clothes should be either loose fitting or easy to move. The majority of acupuncture points will be from your elbows to hands and knees to feet. Some points are in the face and head, and there are others commonly used along the spine. Wearing something that makes it easy to get to these areas is ideal!

What to avoid:
🕸️Skinny jeans / too tight leggings
🕸️Belts
🕸️Sports bras with a million straps in the back
🕸️ compression everything
🕸️ bodysuits / jumpsuits

N.B. If you forget extra clothes or your outfit just isn’t allowing access where it is needed, modest draping will be used.

Fall is here! The season of metal, the lungs and.. dryness? It may not feel like it out there, but we are entering the dry time of year and with the return to routine.. coughs.

this is a save for later type of post!

The acupuncture approach to health can be very different from what you’re used to, and that’s okay! In diagnosing, one’s symptoms are far more important than their “diagnosis”. Two people can have migraines and they can be for very different reasons; acupuncture allows us to target each specific reason for a more tailored and personalized treatment.

This short vocab lesson will give you an idea of some of the specific terms we use and what they mean, so when you show up for your first appointment you can feel comfortable and informed.

✨ FALL GIVEAWAY TIME ✨

Fall officially arrives tomorrow ! Time to bring out the sweaters and boots, and pack up the sunscreen and bathing suits!

It’s been a great few weeks while everyone is easing into their fall routines, but one thing you may want to consider is your skin! Sun, sunscreen, salt, chlorine, margaritas… all of these diminish the health as quality of our skin. Enter microneedling!

Microneedling is a great way to benefit your skin without injections. A customized herbal tincture is combined with Hyaluronic Acid and spread over the skin. We then use a special device equipped with a 12 headed needle to stimulate the skin. Cool masks and guasha are then utilized to calm down the skin. The procedure is quick, it’s effective, and with regular use will help restore your natural glow .

Want to get started on your facial wellness journey??

Your stomach is a machine.

It needs to be warmed up.

Stop making it cold.

Happy Friday!! I’m taking today to answer a commonly asked question: “So what do the needles actually do?”

The answer? So much!! In addition to promoting relaxation and pain relief, acupuncture points can have very specific functions for our bodies. There are dedicated points to:
🌿 clear heat
🌿 promote sleep
🌿 benefit digestion
🌿 open the sinuses
🌿 benefit the eyes
🌿 and so much more!

There’s even a point which was classically used to revive someone from drowning (IYKYK ab CV1 🙃😉😂)

Still not sure if acupuncture is for you? DM and set up a consultation time to chat about how this may help you! I can’t wait to hear from you ☺️

Point of the Day.. Liver 3!

If you’ve attended any acupuncture sessions, chances are you’ve had this needled. As the name implies, needling this point allows stuck energy to finally flow freely again, and allows the qi to circulate well within the rest of the body.

It is the go to point for moving stuck energy.

In a funk? Liver 3.
Stress attacking your day? Liver 3.
Menstrual pain? Liver 3
Muscle tension? Liver 3
Headaches? Liver 3

It does it all! Come experience the relief !

But seriously..

🌿 your diet is your first source of medicine

🌿 supplements will not save you from poor eating habits

🌿 poor habits lead to poor digestion and the root of most disease begins in the gut!

🌿 always eat with season

🌿 eat slowly and mindfully

🌿 become aware of foods that agree or do not agree with your body (one size does NOT fit all)

🌿 get acupuncture (link in bio)

Hottest month ever means we need all the help we can to stay cool!

The next time you just can’t beat the heat, try some acupressure on Large Intestine 11. It is the master of clearing heat (among other great qualities!).

Use your thumb or index finger to apply steady and deep pressure for 1-2 minutes and help your body clear some heat!!

🚨 heat wave alert 🚨

I hope everyone stays cool this weekend and you all find a way to *enjoy* the heat!

Let’s set a positive outlook on your horizon this week!

🌿 sunshine ✔️
🌿 warm weather ✔️
🌿 acupuncture.. 🙃

Happy Monday!!

Time for another cooling food to enjoy in the summer.. MINT!

Mint is widely used in the traditional chinese herbal medicine and is used for all sorts of ailments today.

🌿 It is one of the main cooling herbs to promote sweating which makes it useful in the early stages of illness when the disease remains in the surface of our bodies.

🌿 It is used to “vent rashes” which encourages the rash to come to the surface and speeds recovery.

🌿 It is also used to soothe the Liver Qi which, when out of balance, can cause inappropriate responses to stress, anxiety, gynecological problems and more

🌿 Can be used as an alternative to ginger for an upset stomach.

So if you’re looking for an extra cool down this week, add some mint leaves to your water or make a tea to enjoy at room temp!

11/07/2023

Happy prime day to those who celebrate!

(But seriously, it’s called investing your health for a reason.. good things take time!)
