At the upcoming April 6th event, you’ll have a chance to choose a Chinese herbal tea formula that best fits your stress type.

The intention for the event is to down-regulate the nervous system, aka chill and fight stress. 🥊

So in addition to relaxing atmospheric live music by and acupuncture (which is optional btw!), we’ve chosen 5 formulas that are incredibly good for different stress patterns that present in Eastern medicine.

When you get in on the day, you’ll be able to check in and see how you’ve been feeling that week, and pick the formula you most resonate with. We prepare the tea for you, and you kick back.

… until then, take a look above and see which of these formulas matches how stress presents in you.

… CHOOSE YOUR FIGHTER! 🥷

Tickets to the event are available by following the link in the bio, and clicking on the banner at the top of the homepage at ACU585.com

Had a few questions come in about seating for the upcoming event at the clinic. If you want to feel floaty 🧑‍🚀 we’ll have 14 zero gravity chairs set up. If you want to feel grounded 🧘 we’ll also have 6 stations on the floor (memory foam base, blankets, some pillows and bolsters).

You choose, first come first serve!

We’ll be opening up the doors around 12:15. That will give you plenty of time to get in, choose your Eastern stress-buster tea formula and start to relax before starts at 1:00.

We’ll have a house-made mini Dolby Atmos Surround Sound / sound bath session running in the studio system before and after the performance. So you can come in get settled and start chilling with the soundscapes the moment you get there, and even a little after if you feel so inclined.

Tickets are now available at Eventbrite via the link in the bio! Click the header at ACU585.com to get you there.

Hope to see you April 6th!

Anyone up for a free acupuncture session next Thursday? Spectrum News will be coming by to do a segment on the clinic, we’d love some volunteers!

We’re looking for 5-6 people to get a session in the community room. Your only role is to hang out and get a nice acu treatment. 😌
 We’ll have the surround sound fired up and the usual vibes set, the only difference is there will be a camera in the room for a couple minutes while you’re relaxing. You might not even know they’re there.

We’re looking at a timeframe of 10-11:30 or so — if you’ve got some free time and are up for it, shoot us a message!

It’s actually amazing. How’s it work?

A couple ways:

• Acu helps balance the nervous system, promoting harmony between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the CNS. This balance is key for optimal digestion, reducing stress-related digestive issues.

Especially during the holidays — stress can wreak havoc on digestion. Acu helps induce a state of relaxation, mitigating the impact of stress on your digestive system. Eat and digest in peace 😌

• In Classical Chinese Medicine, good digestion is linked to the smooth flow of Qi and balanced patterns. Acupuncture facilitates this flow, ensuring your digestive organs are in sync and functioning optimally.

• Acupuncture tones the vagus nerve, a key player in the gut-brain connection. This can enhance digestion, reduce inflammation, and even improve nutrient absorption.

• Rather than just addressing symptoms, acupuncture looks at the root causes of digestive issues. By promoting overall balance in the body, it can help support lasting digestive wellness.

Acu for digestion is most beneficial when it’s a regular part of your gut health program, but certainly can play a roll through the holidays! Private or community sessions are great options this.

Community spots still open this week: Wed (12-6) and Saturday (10-3).
