Most people wait until something is wrong to get acupuncture… but that’s like brushing your teeth after you get a cavity 🦷🦷😞. Real health doesn’t start with doing more. It starts with a state of being: calm, balanced, energized and alive. Get acupuncture and get into the state of being that IS health itself.

Histamine Intolerance or MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)?

The symptoms can look very similar but the root causes (and treatments) are different.

👉 Swipe to learn the key differences:

✨ Histamine Intolerance:

Linked to DAO/HNMT gene issues

Triggered by high-histamine foods

Connected to gut dysbiosis + sluggish estrogen detox

Often improves with a low-histamine diet + gut support

🔥 MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome):

Linked to trauma, mold, Lyme, chronic stress, or infections

Triggered by food, stress, smells, hormones, heat, mold & more

Symptoms are unpredictable, widespread, and flare-based

Low-histamine diet alone usually isn’t enough - requires mast cell stabilization first

💡 Here’s the key:

If you have Histamine Intolerance, food + gut protocols can help.

If it’s MCAS, you’ll need a deeper, root-cause approach.

🌿 Not sure where to start? That’s where we come in.

At Source Acupuncture, we uncover what’s driving your symptoms and create a customized plan using acupuncture + herbal medicine to support your body naturally.

Burnout isn’t just stress — it’s an energetic collapse. In Chinese medicine, when Qi, Jing, and Shen run low, the Kidneys, Heart, and Spleen can’t replenish:

☀️ Summer → Heart/Fire scatters
❄️ Winter → Kidney/Water depletes

Signs show up as anxiety, fatigue, brain fog, or heaviness.

✨ The good news? Acupuncture helps restore balance by calming the Heart, nourishing the Kidneys, and strengthening the Spleen — so your body can recharge instead of running on empty.

Which type of burnout do you feel most: Heart, Kidney, or Spleen?

✨ When you raise your vibration, anything out of alignment naturally falls away ~ old habits, draining relationships, even thought patterns that no longer serve you.

But raising your vibration isn’t just mindset, it’s energy.
That’s where acupuncture comes in!

By moving stagnant qi, calming the heart, and grounding the body, acupuncture helps clear energetic “noise” so your natural frequency can rise. The result? More clarity, balance, and ease in releasing what isn’t meant to stay.

Your energy attracts your reality. Acupuncture helps you align it. 💫

Your body is always speaking to you.

Every symptom is your nervous system’s way of pointing to the root cause ~ not just what’s happening in the body, but what needs attention in your life.

At Source Acupuncture, we help you uncover the deeper patterns behind your symptoms and bring your system back into balance for long term health. Through acupuncture, we calm the nervous system, clear blocks, and support your body’s natural ability to heal.

Healing happens when we address the root.

Your body has 12 main meridians — energetic highways that connect organs, emotions, and overall vitality.

🌿 Each meridian has its own story: from the Lung channel that governs breath and grief, to the Liver channel that helps us process stress and emotions. When these pathways flow freely, you feel balanced, energized, and resilient. When blocked, symptoms can arise.✨

At Source Acupuncture, we work with these meridians to restore harmony and help you feel your best — mind, body, and spirit. 💫
