Just received word that a friend and colleague, John Gallagher of Learning Herbs and part of the Mountain Rose education team has passed away.

I’m realizing I need to reach out to folks more, ask how they are *really doing, and let it be known that struggling is very human for these times.

I hope that I can be a better support-both with my work, and as a friend.

Arthritis? Inflammation.
IBS? Inflammation.
Heart disease? Inflammation.

Chronic inflammation is estimated a major contributor in 80% of disease processes.

In these pics it’s easy to see Acupuncture reducing visible histamine inflammation (redness) after 30 minutes.

If you’re ready to help your body heal itself, it’s time to try acupuncture!

Bold SUN today, Spring is coming soon! 🐥🌱

In Chinese Medicine, Green is the color associated with the liver and with Springtime.

Eat more tender young plants, including young leafy greens, sprouts, asparagus….

Lemon water, matcha, and peppermint or chamomile tea will help move stagnant energy in the liver meridian!

Envisioning better health in 2025!

Pain conditions often lead folks to acupuncture, but the landslide of other benefits keep them coming back:

-better sleep
-improved mood
-better energy
-less achy joints
-improved digestion
-reduced pms symptoms
-less frequent headaches

Preventive care just makes sense.
