As the weather gets warmer humans naturally begin to eat lighter foods that help us shed any extra pounds we gained over the winter and support our liverโ€™s detoxification process. If your digestion is challenged it may be best to start with a gastrointestinal healing protocol first.

In spring there is naturally more uprising energy as plants begin to grow and animals come out of hibernation in colder climates. Some of other thrive on this extra energy. For some people they can experience irritability, anger, and impatience. ๐—”๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ๐—ณ๐˜‚๐—น ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐˜‚๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐˜€๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—น ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜.

Endometriosis is a chronic condition in which tissue similar to that found in the endometrial lining of the uterus attaches to area outside the uterus where it is not normally found. It grows and shrinks in response to estrogen and progesterone fluctuations.

Endometriosis can result in pain, higher rates of ectopic pregnancies and infertility.

The cause of endometriosis is unknown and it cannot be prevented. It is most commonly diagnosed between the ages of 25 and 40. We now know that there are common factors that tend to influence endometriosis such as genetics, immune system disruptions, hormone alterations, environmental factors and local cellular function.

Endometriosis results in a chronic inflammatory condition and immune dysregulation. Endometriosis also disrupts the way progesterone and estrogen normally respond in the reproductive tract.

If a schedule conflict comes up please call or message the office as SOON AS YOU are aware so we can help you stay on your treatment plan and make sure that we can help someone else with that time slot if you are not able to make your appointment.

Please note that while the acupuncture with bodywork appointments were adjusted to more closely reflect my hourly rate in 2026 the acupuncture appointments are the same price they have been for the past 4 years.

Did you know that pregnancy is a stress test for future cardiovascular risk? Younger women may not realize that now is the time to take action. Pre-eclampsia, pregnancy induced hypertension, gestational diabetes are biomarkers for cardiovascular disease.

Did you know that the herb schisandra is used widely in both Western and Chinese Herbal Medicine?

Schisandra: contains lignins that protect cells from damage by improving glutathione cellular levels. Schisandra is shown in research to have protect cardiovascular cells and regulates the immune system, (Ouyang, 2022). It is used to support the heart and has been shown to be helpful for liver health in research. For this reason schisandra is often included in detox formulas. It is considered to be adaptogenic and protects against stress. Schisandra helps with concentration and improves physical endurance.

February 17th is officially the start of the lunar new year and marks the year of the Fire Horse. Fire Horse years are famous for political change and technological innovation.

On a personal level my Qigong teacher Liu He calls it a year where you โ€˜can transcend your destinyโ€™. If you feel you havenโ€™t been successful with your personal goals in the past it may be time to rethink your strategy and try another way.

This is an important year for grounding and self care. Personally I will be getting acupuncture, doing almost daily workouts, and sleeping regular hours. I will lean into my gratitude practice, let go of what I cannot control and take action when I able to. - Dr. M

The famous Chinese Herbal formula Sheng Mai San is over 1000 years old and has many applications for cardiovascular health. In China it is used in hospitals. In the United States it is mainly used for outside of hospitals as a supplemental treatment to western medicine.
> Sheng mai san is used to help regulate the heart in certain types of palpitations and tachycardia. Research has shown it to be effective in many area including viral myocarditis (Zhang, B.R., 2024). It is used in conjunction with other herbs to increase blood plasma volume in POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). Deficient blood volume in POTS has been shown to a common underlying factor, (Wei, L., 2025). Sheng mai san can also be used to give the heart support in times of emotional shock.
> Sheng mai san usually consists of 3 herbs but is often combined with other formulas to help depending on the patient's presentation. You can read the whole article on the Peninsula Integrative Medicine website soon.

Recently I have been seeing a rise in younger to middle age people having issues with tachycardia, palpitations, and irregular heart rate. The reasons for this include post covid symptoms, complex health issues such as POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), and MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome), stress and anxiety.

If you have been suffering with this please make an appointment. ๐—œ ๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฝ.

Acupuncture has been shown in research to regulate heart rate variability, regulate the heart rate in general and reduces proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-10. Acupuncture helps to restore the parasympathetic state and reduce sympathetic overdrive, (Sheeja Begum, 2025).
