One simple and easy way to reduce stress and boost your mood is aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy uses essential oils (concentrated plant extracts) to stimulate the olfactory system (sense of smell) and limbic system—the part of the brain responsible for emotions, memory, and mood. By inhaling or applying these aromatic compounds, you can influence your mental and emotional states, subsequently affecting your physical health.

Some popular essential oils used for aromatherapy include:

Lavender: Known for its calming and relaxing effects, lavender helps reduce stress and anxiety. It can be beneficial before bedtime to improve sleep quality, in turn positively impacting your mood. 🪻

Peppermint: This refreshing scent helps stimulate the mind and is excellent for combating mental fatigue and low energy. It’s known to uplift the mood, clear the mind, and increase focus. 🧠

Ylang-Ylang: This floral scent is known to promote a sense of peace and calm. It’s often used to relieve feelings of anxiety and can help bring balance to emotional highs and lows. ☯️

Listen...We know it's PSL 🎃☕ season, BUT take a moment to consider the amount of sugar each of these drinks has.

According to TCM, processed sugars can lead to excess dampness or heat within the body, which can lead to a variety of skin, gut, and immune system issues (+ more! 😰).

We know it might be hard to cut yourself off and go cold turkey!! Try reducing your processed sugar intake by choosing better alternatives such as tea. Think about adding natural sweeteners such as honey🍯or maple syrup 👏😋

Remember to take it day by day. It all starts with one small step. Good luck!!

Did you know? 🤯👇

Acupuncture can improve both egg and s***m quality to improve fertility and improve chances of fertilization…plus so much more! 🤔

By stimulating specific points, acupuncture increases the blood🩸 flow around the ovaries, which enhances their ability to support healthy eggs and improves both the quality and quantity of eggs.

If blood flow to the ovaries is compromised, the eggs and follicles are starved of oxygen and nutrients, which can lead to fewer good-quality eggs.

Acupuncture and TCM therapies can also improve s***m quality, count, morphology, and motility (its ability to move freely) 😆 By addressing the imbalances causing the issue, AKA the root cause, TCM practitioners can enhance both male and female fertility. This is done by stimulating specific points with acupuncture, as well as using other TCM modalities such as Chinese herbs and dietary or lifestyle modifications.

Higher-quality eggs and s***m are linked to lower miscarriage rates, improved embryo development, & better conception and fertilization rates.
