Is your Earth element out of balance? The Earth Element governs the digestive processes, as well as thinking and mental work - the way we take in, digest and expel waste works the same for food and ideas! It's one of the reasons that thinking - reading, worrying or other brain activities - while eating can give us indigestion. Here's a few of my fave Earth element supporting practices for the dinner table. Definitely try these strategies if you experience Earth element disharmonies like indigestion๐Ÿคข, bloating and gas๐Ÿ˜ซ, low appetite or feel stressed or overburdened with mental work or study๐Ÿ˜Ÿ.โ € โ € I've taken on the simple practice of not drinking beverages while eating, and it makes a big difference!โ € โ € Spices like ginger, cardamom and fennel are very beneficial to aid digestion, and you'll smell some of that spiciness in the Earth Element Healing Anointing Oils from @cicutoacu and I.โ € .โ € .โ € ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿฅ— Acupuncture and herbal medicine offers real relief for a variety of digestive disorders.

Calm Fire Anointing Oil is one I carry in my purse. The combination of ylang ylang, lime and bai zi ren (arborvitae seed) essential oils instantly calms and collects me when stress, anxiety and shock take hold. Plus it smells divine. Here's a little from a recent article I wrote about the Heart/Fire energy. If you'd like to chat more or smell Calm Fire and other 5 Element Anointing Oils, I'll be at the Cicuto Acupuncture Open House, 1134 Ballena Blvd from 2-5 pm.โ € .โ € โค๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅโค๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅโค๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅโค๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅโค๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅโค๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅโ € .โ € An excess of Fire element affects our Heart energy with overexuberance. We can't stop talking, our minds race. Our sleep is disrupted, especially falling asleep. Anxiety and restlessness can make us feel overwhelmed and make it difficult to think clearly. In addition to proper treatment with a practitioner, cooling foods and herbs and calming activities such as meditation can help chill us out and give our Hearts room to breathe.โ € โ € โ›ฐ๏ธโš”๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ Join @angelica.peony on May 19th from 2-5pm for a pop-up of our 5 element anointing oil blends at Open House at the Alameda office of @cicutoacuโ € .โ € ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿƒ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŽ‹ Spring Sale on 5 element anointing oils! 20% off Nourish Wood and Move Wood oils (our Spring blends!). 15% off all other 5 element anointing oils.

For patients who want it, after a session we pull a card from the beautiful Kwan Yin Oracle deck created by @cicutoacu . After finishing treatments on Sunday, I pulled this card for myself. Yesterday I got the results of my certification exam and am now a member of the Register of Chinese Medicine Dermatology and Inflammatory Disease. It's been an incredible 2+ years of study with Mazin Al-Khafaji, teaching in the US for the first time. He will be offering a second US certification program next year, in California and Chicago - I can't recommend it highly enough for practitioners of Chinese herbalism. And if you'd like to experience the incredible results of his methods for dermatological and other conditions, come and see me for treatment!โ € โ € #herbalmedicine #traditionalchinesemedicine #dermatology #traditionalchinesemedicinedermatology #herbalism #herbalist #education #certification #acupuncture #sanleandro #oakland #kwanyin #wellness #healing #herbalhealing #naturalhealing #psoriasis #eczema #dermatitis #seborrheicdermatitis #rosacea #acne #facialrejuvenation #naturalskincare #holisticskincare #naturalbeauty
