Tika is our recent rescue. She literally dances to come to work with me. Though she will need some additional training. What do you think? Should she get the job?

Acupuncture Enhances Feelings of Love

Releases "Love Hormones": Acupuncture influences the release of oxytocin, a neurotransmitter associated with social bonding, trust, and reduction of stress levels.
Boosts Endorphins: The release of endorphins creates a "feel-good" sensation, reducing anxiety and promoting a sense of euphoria or, at minimum, deep relaxation.
Promotes Emotional Regulation: By calming the sympathetic nervous system ("fight-or-flight") and enhancing the parasympathetic system, it reduces emotional distress, allowing for increased feelings of calm and security.
Enhances Intimacy: Improved circulation and reduced stress levels, particularly targeting meridians related to the heart and liver, can improve physical and emotional intimacy.

Herbs for Fighting Colds

Traditional herbalists have time tested formulas for staying healthy as the seasons and the weather change. The formula known as Yu Ping Feng San or Jade Windscreen, creates a protective force for preventing illness before it starts. Simple herbs including Huang Qi (Astragalus) Bai Zhu (Atractylodes) and Fang Feng (Siler Root) are used to shield you from the Wind Invasion (aka virus, allergens) that may cause colds and flu. Come in for an herbal consultation or try our formulation of this traditional formula - Defense Plus - available at Root Therapies.
