Uyayi Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine- Francis Marlon Bugarin, L.Ac.

Uyayi Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine- Francis Marlon Bugarin, L.Ac. Acupuncturist and Herbalist Lic # 15617 Francis Marlon Bugarin is a California State Board Licensed Acupuncturist as well as a Certified Massage Practitioner.

He graduated from the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland with both a Masters of Sciences in Traditional Chinese Medicine and completed the Tui Na Medical Massage program. During his years of study Francis practiced massage in multiple Chinese Medicine Clinics where he was able to utilize and fully apply Chinese Medical philosophy to help patients with various ailments with w

hich he is now applying to Acupuncture treatments. With over 5 years of experience studying and practicing various traditional Chinese Modalities, Francis’s approach to treatment integrates both Acupuncture and Massage. He believes that the combination of the two modalities maximize the positive effect treatments for both external and internal concerns. Having the most experience with treating patients with pain management issues, Francis considers himself always a student and feels comfortable treating internal concerns as well. As an active youth, Francis always encountered more than the usual bumps and bruises and because of this was taken to different healers by his parents. He didn’t realize it then but their care made a very lasting subconscious impression that eventually led him to realize that he was meant to follow the same path. Francis truly believes that it is a gift to be able to serve others in this way and is grateful for the opportunity to assist others in facilitating their own wellness. When not practicing Chinese Medicine, Francis practices and competes in traditional karate tournaments and sings for recreation in both formal and casual settings. He truly believes that his martial arts and music really aid him in his understanding of the mind, body, and spirit and emphasize how important it is to keep the harmony between the three.

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a condition where the force of the blood against the walls of the arteries is consistently too high. It can lead to serious health problems, like heart disease, stroke, or kidney damage. Managing blood pressure is crucial for preventing these long-term complications.

To prevent hypertension, it’s essential to adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes maintaining a healthy weight and staying physically active through regular exercise. A nutritious, well-balanced diet filled with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—while limiting salt and unhealthy fats—can play a key role. Reducing alcohol intake, quitting smoking, and effectively managing stress are all important steps. Ensuring you get sufficient, restful sleep each night supports overall heart health and can help keep blood pressure at a healthy level.

Acupuncture can help with hypertension by promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and improving circulation. Call 209-670-3847 today to see if we can help keep your hypertension in control.

But now you’re stuck in this in-between.
Pulled in a million directions…
…and up at 3AM doom-scrolling for something—anything—that might help. 😩

You’ve tried what they told you to try.

Sciatica is a type of pain that travels along the sciatic nerve, extending from the lower back through the hips, buttocks, and down the leg. It’s often caused by issues like a herniated disc or spinal stenosis, which put pressure on the nerve. The pain can range from sharp discomfort to numbness or tingling, and may worsen with certain movements or extended periods of sitting.

It can feel like an ache, as sharp, shooting pain radiates from your lower back down through your leg, making everyday tasks feel more challenging than they should be. The discomfort can leave you feeling helpless, affecting both your body and mind. If you're tired of living with that constant pain, acupuncture offers a natural and effective way to alleviate sciatica symptoms, helping to restore balance and promote healing in your body.

Acupuncture can support hormone regulation by targeting specific acupuncture points that influence the endocrine system, which controls hormone production. By stimulating these points, acupuncture helps improve the communication between the brain and various glands (like the thyroid, adrenal glands, and ovaries), encouraging a more balanced release of hormones. This can be particularly helpful for conditions like irregular periods, menopause symptoms, or thyroid imbalance, as acupuncture promotes better circulation, reduces stress, and can help normalize hormone levels over time. Through these mechanisms, acupuncture aids in restoring harmony within the body’s hormonal system.

Insomnia is a sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early and not being able to fall back asleep. It can result from stress, anxiety, poor sleep habits, or underlying health conditions, and often leads to daytime fatigue and irritability.

Acupuncture can help alleviate insomnia by promoting relaxation and calming the nervous system, making it easier to fall and stay asleep. It can help regulate the body’s energy flow and reduce stress, which are often underlying causes of sleep disturbances.

Acupuncture may balance neurotransmitters and hormones, such as melatonin and cortisol, to improve sleep quality and restore a natural sleep cycle.

In our fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of daily responsibilities, relationships, and expectations. For many, the pressures of work, family, and personal goals can be overwhelming, leading to a sense of unease or worry that seems to linger. This is where anxiety often steps in and can turn even the most ordinary moments into sources of stress. Whether it’s the fear of failure, the weight of constant busyness, or the uncertainty of the future, anxiety is something that many of us experience in our everyday lives.

To help reduce anxiety in our lives, we can try writing down our ideal outcome, taking deep breaths, meditating, and reaching out for support when needed. Above all, it's important to practice self-care and prioritize both our mental and physical well-being, ensuring we give ourselves the care we deserve.

Uyayi Acupuncture can help anxiety by regulating the nervous system and releasing endorphins to bring the body relax naturally. Take some time for yourself and schedule an acupuncture treatment today.

Acupuncture can be highly beneficial for back pain by stimulating specific points on the body to promote healing and relieve discomfort. It helps improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and balance the body's energy. This natural treatment can trigger the release of endorphins, which act as the body’s painkillers, providing both pain relief and muscle relaxation. Acupuncture also targets inflammation and promotes relaxation of the nervous system, helping reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
