✨ Treating Children Without Needles ✨

Did you know there’s an entire system of pediatric acupuncture called Shonishin? 🪷

It uses tiny, gentle tools to mimic the effects of acupuncture, without ever using needles, making treatments safe and effective for babies, kids, and even fragile adults.

My little patients love these tools and have even given them the cutest nicknames:
🍕 “Pizza slice” (can you guess which one it is in the photo?)
🚜 “Lawn mower”
🐟 “Fishy kisses” – soft facial cups that make a puckering sound toddlers can’t get enough of

Kids fall in love with these techniques and ask for them at every visit. It’s the sweetest thing watching them plop down on the table, ready before I even check their pulses! 🥹

I also teach parents some of these techniques so they can help their little ones at home.

Would you want me to create a class showing you how? Comment “Yes” below and I’ll make it happen!

🎥 Watch the full Integrative Pediatrics discussion with Dr. Joel Warsh, Dr. Alex Pekler, John Mekrut, and me here:

👉 As a bilingual parent and healthcare practitioner, I also add Spanish subtitles to make this accessible for more families. 🌎

We are living in very chaotic times with a lot of changes with far too many negative and shocking news all around us and globally. And we’re consuming it at alarming rates that has the effects to alter our thinking and beliefs.

Protecting our Spirit - or in Chinese Medicine the “Shen” - from harm and confusion, is very important during these kinds of times. The calmer the Shen, the more centered it can be, allowing the Shen to rule us with wise guidance and clarity.

Staying true to our authentic nature and allowing our centered Shen to guide us with our words, our thoughts and our actions will help us to stay resilient during times of stress, change and chaos.

Try the exercise above and come back to your Iyashi where your Shen is serene and knowing.

✨Remember who YOU are in the midst of chaos. 💕

😷 COVID levels are still very high in California - current estimates show about 1 in 21 people (as of 9/12). Rates are especially elevated in LA and San Francisco.

What’s most concerning is that Long COVID is now showing up not just in adults, but in kids too. Schools often aren’t prepared to support children struggling with the aftermath, so prevention matters now more than ever.

✨ I’ve created step-by-step COVID protocols on Fullscript for:
👶 Infants & Kids
👩‍🦱 Teens & Adults
💪 Adults – Immune Building

As a practitioner trained in epidemic diseases through Chinese Medicine, I’ve been treating COVID patients since 2020. My approach goes beyond simple “immune boosters” - I address the gut, lungs, nervous system, and circulation to help your body stay resilient.

📥 Want support? Here’s how to access my Fullscript protocols:
1️⃣ Tap the link in bio and go to my Fullscript Pharmacy
2️⃣ Create a quick account (free)
3️⃣ Scroll down under the catalog section titled “Iyashi Wellness Pharmacy’s Community Plans”
4️⃣ You’ll find all my prevention + recovery protocols there ✨

Together, we can stay safe, protect our families, and lower the risk of COVID and Long COVID.

Want some nutrient-packed breakfast for your teens?

Continuing with my cooking for teens, here is what I’m doing with what I prepped and cooked earlier this weekend for this week:

Portioned out hard boiled egg, nankotsu and hatsu (chicken cartilage and chicken heart respectively) for all the dense nutrients, particularly protein but minerals and vitamins and cartilage I talked about in my previous post. The protein and other nutrients will fuel his brain to be able to stay focused at school while helping to build his muscles and gain weight. Because these foods pack a punch in a small amount, he can also get fuller longer and not have to rely on processed sugar, carbs and caffeine for the energy he needs throughout the day.

My son can add also a waffle or toast or rice to this along with kimchi or sauerkraut. Waffle/toast/rice to give him the carbs/sugar he needs for the quick pick-me-up energy (and the protein from his portioned out foods will sustain that energy far longer without giving him a crash in his blood sugar), and sauerkraut/kimchi for the fermented probiotic goodness and digestive enzymes our bodies need to help digest all these nutrients properly.
He’s not having much appetite in the mornings like most teens, but hopefully these small portions will be small enough that he’ll be willing to eat. And what he eats will be nutrient dense, so it’s not wasted energy like when consuming sugar-laden foods like cereal and minute oats and pop tarts that just creates the vicious cycle of energy crashes/blood sugar spikes and drops, and teen acne, poor sleep, and mood swings.

P.S. Happy to report he packed the ayu and shishamo for his lunch today!

09/07/2025

Now that my son is a bona fide teenager and consuming large amounts of red meat, and his volleyball practice schedule has been released, I’m able to do my part to cook for the coming week and balance all the yang foods he - and our family - has been consuming a lot during the summer by bringing in yin foods like fish.

I busted out my Japanese fish grill to cook the Shishamo. And in the toaster oven was Ayu. All the little bones you can consume in shishamo is great for calcium, and because fish is generally more yin in nature than land animals, it’s cooling or neutral in energetics, offsetting the yang, hotter energetics of land animal meats.

To bring in nutrients not found in large quantities in muscle meats, I’m also marinating chicken heart, Hatsu, to cook for later and broiling Nankotsu, chicken cartilage. My son and I as a menopausal woman need all the nutrients he can get to help his growing body and our changing hormones.

Chicken heart is small but packs a punch: high in zinc, protein, iron, vitamin Bs, selenium, and the list goes on. Nankotsu is great for building cartilage, so for him using so much of his joints jumping and spiking in volleyball and me in menopause and trying to protect my joints, we costume this regularly. So easy and yummy, and こりこり!!

When my son saw the shishamo done, he grabbed several right away and inhaled them. He remembers eating these with his Japanese cousin while camping in Japan and had fond memories of grilling and eating the fish 🫶🏼

So much of learning to eat unusual or new foods is the memory associated with it, so I’m glad he’s had positive experiences with shishamo and now happily eats it. It’s easy to make and can be an easy snack between meals (or as part of a meal). Way better than the junk food he tends to like to eat.

Anyway, this is my brunch today! Clear soup with shijimi and tororo konbu, rice, nori, ayu from today’s cooking, and left over vegetables of bokchoy and konshinsai (Chinese water spinach) (sorry, I don’t know how to spell it correctly in pin yin😓)

いただきます!🙏

✨ Refreshed & Inspired from Japan ✨

Recently, I had the joy of traveling back to Japan - a place that always reconnects me with my roots and reminds me why I do this work.

From Hokkaido's beautiful woods, lakes, rivers, farmlands, and mountains, to quiet pauses at temples, shrines, and modern Japanese chanoyu (tea house) for a moment of zen, to vibrant city energy.. I felt deeply inspired by the balance of tradition and modern wellness practices woven into everyday life. 🌿🍵

Travel has a way of expanding perspective, and I return home more committed than ever to sharing these timeless approaches to health with you - bridging cultures, honoring heritage, and making wellness accessible no matter where you are.

🎥 Huge thanks to my husband for capturing and creating this beautiful video! 💛

💫 Stay tuned for new insights, recipes, and practices inspired by this trip that I can’t wait to share.

🪷 Summer Series: Acupressure for Summer Heat Relief

When the temperature soars, a few minutes of acupressure can help release heat, refresh the mind, and restore balance.

Points to try:
🔹 LI-11 (Quchi) — Cools heat and supports immunity
🔹 PC-6 (Neiguan) — Calms nausea, motion sickness, and anxiety
🔹 KI-1 (Yongquan) — Grounds energy and helps draw excess heat downward

To boost cooling, some parents choose to use diluted peppermint, tea tree, or eucalyptus essential oil on LI-11. Essential oils can be strong for little ones, so always use a high dilution and consult with a qualified practitioner before applying on babies or toddlers.

Press gently for 1–2 minutes on each point, breathing deeply. Perfect for beach days, hikes, or post-sun relaxation.

A Tea Worth Traveling For 🍵

On my trip to Asia this summer, I visited Jiufen, the charming northern Taiwanese town that inspired Spirited Away, my family and I sipped high mountain Alishan oolong at the famous Amei tea house, overlooking the harbor. Within an hour, I felt lighter, calmer, and completely de-bloated. 🌿

Oolong is rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and polyphenols that support digestion, boost metabolism, and help the body find balance. Its gentle caffeine paired with L-theanine promotes focus and relaxation - without the jitters of coffee.

In Chinese Medicine, a calm gut supports a calm mind, and this cup was proof.

I love tea, and my collection keeps growing every time I visit Asia, the origin of tea (cha). I even splurged on an oh-so-fragrant Earl Grey from TWG this time. 🍃 Do you drink tea? What’s your favorite? Comment below!

✨ Next time, skip the coffee and try oolong - your gut (and your mood) will thank you!

🌙 Summer Series: Cooling Down at Night for Better Sleep

Hot summer nights can disrupt sleep and leave you groggy the next day. In TCM, poor nighttime cooling can overstimulate the Heart and Liver, affecting rest and mood.

Tips for a cooler, calmer night:
🔸 Take a lukewarm (not cold) shower before bed to release heat
🔸 Use breathable natural fiber bedding like cotton or linen
🔸 Try a pre-bedtime tea with chrysanthemum + mulberry leaf to cool and soothe

Restful sleep is the best way to recharge your yin and wake up ready for summer adventures.

P.S. These tips can be especially helpful for women experiencing perimenopausal or menopausal sleep disturbances.
