As air quality moves into the ‘unhealthy for sensitive groups’ rating, we want to remind everyone to wear a mask outside if you can. Even if you have no underlying health conditions, preventing prolonged exposure to the smoke and ash particles is best.

As Washington State approaches a full reopening, we want to offer a reminder that masks are still required in health care settings, even for those who are fully vaccinated.

Stay cool!

Wishing you all a safe weekend. With temperatures well over 100 in most of the Eastside this weekend, please make sure to stay hydrated, avoid excessive sun exposure, and check on your elderly family and neighbors.

Washington, we're about to have some historic high temperatures in our state so it's very important to check your local forecasts on your favorite weather app or weather.gov. There are excessive heat warnings in multiple areas of the state. It's also important to know the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke and to call 911 if potentially facing a heat stroke. These are going to be some uncomfortable days. During the heat, stay hydrated and make sure your pets have shade and water. And please help us prevent forest fires. There's no need to make an emergency even worse.
▶ Don’t rely solely on fans to keep you cool. While electric fans might provide some comfort, when temperatures are really hot, they won’t prevent heat-related illness.
▶ If you need a cooling center, contact your local county or city to see what their plans are. Spend some time at a shopping mall, grocery store or public library - even a few hours spent in air conditioning can help.
▶ Take cool showers or baths.
▶ Use your stove and oven less to maintain a cooler temperature in your home.
▶ Avoid high-energy activities outdoors.
▶ Drink plenty of fluids and wear light colored clothes.
▶ Check on and take care of those vulnerable to heat (children, those with chronic medical conditions, elderly, pets).
▶ Stay inside during the hottest times of the day (afternoon and early evening).
▶ Be wary of rivers and lakes. The water is still cool and the drowning risk is real.

HEAT CRAMPS
Signs: Muscle pains or spasms in the stomach, arms or legs
Actions: Go to a cooler location. Remove excess clothing. Take sips of cool sports drinks with salt and sugar. If you are sick and need medical attention, call your healthcare provider first. If cramps last more than an hour, seek medical attention.

HEAT EXHAUSTION
Signs: Heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, headache, fainting, nausea, vomiting
Actions: Go to an air-conditioned place and lie down. Loosen or remove clothing. Take a cool bath. Take sips of cool sports drinks with salt and sugar. Call your healthcare provider if symptoms get worse or last more than an hour.

HEAT STROKE
Signs: Extremely high body temperature (above 103 degrees). Red, hot and dry skin with no sweat. Rapid, strong pulse. Dizziness, confusion or unconsciousness
Actions: Call 9-1-1 or get the person to a hospital immediately. Cool down with whatever methods are available until medical help arrives.

Long Hu Acupuncture staff will be taking Wednesday through Friday off to be home with their Spring breaking kiddos. In an effort to break through the monotony of a pandemic spring break, we will be conducting S.T.E.M. projects throughout the week, going on walks, and enjoying some family time. We will still be taking calls, emails, and checking clinic messages, so please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Enjoy the sunshine!

A mass of smoke is heading back towards our region. Stay indoors if you can, and wear a mask if you must be outside. While N95s protect the most against the smoke, even a cloth mask is better than none. Be safe!

There is a super-massive body of smoke moving over Southwestern Washington. This smoke from Oregon and California is expected to impact Wes...

Long Hu Acupuncture has modified hours while we settle into our kids’ school schedule. We will only have afternoon hours for the next two weeks. We will also be closed from September 16th-30th to quarantine. We will be exposed to a relative after their international flight on the 16th, so out of an abundance of precaution, we will be closing for two weeks to monitor ourselves for symptoms of covid.

Other facility practitioners will be operating as usual. For massage, please contact Aya Nakamura at https://cocochi.massagetherapy.com

Your health and safety are my top priority, so I have modified operations to limit the possibility of the spread of COVID-19. Based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health (DOH) and Washington State Massage Therapy Association (WSMTA), I a....

Long Hu Acupuncture will be closed until April 20th in an effort to flatten the curve and maintain social distancing. It was a difficult decision, and it’s one we didn’t take lightly. The situation is constantly fluctuating, so we will keep everyone posted if that date has to change. We appreciate your understanding and support in this difficult time for everyone.

To keep busy, we are playing games with our boys, going for walks in the gorgeous sunshine, and baking fun new treats. We hope you all stay safe and healthy!

We’ve received questions from our patients, so we decided to link the CDC’s page on the coronavirus. Please contact your doctor if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms and are concerned. We are not primary care and cannot test for coronavirus.
