Brrrr! Its been hailing and SNOWING in Oakland. Coldsnap in the Bay means mugwort. I used it last week in a fresh batch of Warming Blend, the mugwort-ginger-cinnamon oil infusion that forms the base of Warming Menthol Balm and Warm the Palace oil. Going to put some of this beautiful organic mugwort (ai ye) in a foot bath later on. #herbalhealthcare #footbath #warmth #balm #painrelief #menstrualhealth #massage #moxa #moxibustion #herbalmedicine #traditionalchinesemedicine #oakland #california #coldsnap #chillblains

Feeling glossy! 🌠 Big thanks to Oakland Magazine for featuring me in their East Bay Made column!

Trouble sleeping? Dysfunction and imbalance in the Wood element shows itself when your sleep is disrupted by anger, stress, frustration and overwork. You might find yourself waking in the middle of the night (during the 'Wood Element' time of day) and tossing and turning, with your mind going over the day’s events or the causes of your frustrations⠀ ⠀ The prescription for this kind of sleep trouble is to relieve and release the congested energy and emotions which are backing up and disrupting your sleep with mind-body-spirit practices that benefit the Wood Element and the Liver-Gallbladder system.⠀ ⠀ Tips and strategies for stress-related insomnia on my blog (link in bio)⠀📸 of my cat @mr.marleymayhem he rarely has trouble sleeping! .

Bloooooooooood. 🦇 People who menstruate are likely to have Blood deficiency in Chinese medicine, which incorporates symptoms such as fatigue, insomnia and headaches that reflect the necessity of replenishing our bodies from their monthly cycle. As well as iron rich and red and dark coloured foods, herbal broths and individualized herbal formulas, I love to use and recommend Taproot Medicine's Strong Woman Syrup, a tasty molasses and herbal blend that will keep the pep in your step. This is my bottle! #herbalhealthcare #menstruation #periods #womenshealth #peopleshealth #traditionalchinesemedicine #herbalsyrup #tonic #monthlymaintenance #naturalhealing #foodmedicine #kitchenwitch #moontimes

Spring is here in the Northern hemisphere! Whether we see it outside or not, the earth is tilting from yin into yang and our bodies are responding to the shifting energy. This is the time of the Wood element, the force that pushes the shoots through the earth, that grows the tree up towards the sun, and that encompasses both strength and flexibility. Seasonally appropriate eating is one of the most ancient and powerful healing practices available to us. I've been having fun putting together some little graphics reflecting the kitchen advice for the elemental season. It's spring - think green!
