I'll be away on meditation retreat until October 22. For acupuncture and healing help, contact @energymattersacupuncture in Oakland, @cicutoacu in Alameda or @erinwoodacupuncture in San Leandro. And you can always get Angelica & Peony locally at @energymattersacupuncture , @conceptfortyseven in Oakland and SF, @wildchildoakland and other locations (check my website for them all!) Honestly, I've never been so worried about what's going to happen in the world while I'm completely out of touch for 10 days. Good reason to get meditating. I'm very grateful for this practice and all our spiritual teachers and ancestors. Cultivating a mindfulness or spiritual practice is the most vital medicine for this time.

πŸŽ‰πŸ“’Big news friends! I'm delighted to announce that my acupuncture practice will be moving to Energy Matters Acupuncture and Qigong on Piedmont Ave. in Oakland. Energy Matters is a truly special healing place.β € β € πŸŒ“What is Energy Matters? Four physicians of Traditional Chinese medicine (I'll be the fifth!), a large pharmacy, a robust Qigong program, mindfulness program and a growing bevy of wellness offerings. Created by visionary founder Kirstin Lindquist L.Ac, Energy Matters has been my home for healing for the past several years, and I am awed and privileged to join the practitioner team there!β € β € πŸ—“οΈI'll be there seeing patients Thursday and Saturday mornings beginning October 27. Existing patients can move immediately to follow-up visits with no interruption in care, and if you've been thinking of seeing me, schedule a new patient visit to get started. Click the 'Book Now' button on the @energymattersacupuncture website or call 510.597.9923 to schedule.β € β € 😊❣️Angelica & Peony Retreat Recharge Closure! I'll be away on a silent meditation retreat from October 10-21. Orders placed by Friday October 5 will ship before I leave, and others after my return. β € πŸ“Έby @energymattersacupuncture β € #acupuncture #traditionalchinesemedicine #oakland #healing #healingoakland #herbalmedicine #womenownedbusiness #meditation #mindfulness #vipassana #energymatters #qigong #tcmdermatology #piedmontave
Summer Wellness Series #8: Moving into Fall πŸπŸ‚β € β €β € Click the link in my bio to read the whole article, including some more self-care options and ideas for fall, and links to recipes for herbal cold and flu remedies, and follow #tcmsummerwellness for all the posts in the series.β €β €β € .β €β € β € πŸπŸ‚πŸƒIt’s an oft-noted irony that the time when the Earth is encouraging us to slow down and go inward is the time in our external calendar when things are getting busiest - back to school, the ramp up to the holiday season, and for us in the United States this year, an extra layer of work and anxiety around the mid-term elections and all that is at stake. β € β € πŸ‚Giving your lungs extra TLC: The Fall is the season of the Lung - they are especially vulnerable to allergens and viruses at this time of year. Improve the quality of the air indoors with an air purifier, air purifying plants and give your pillows a wash to eliminate allergens. Ask your acupuncturist about allergy treatments (best started before you are sneezing!) and buy or make some natural cold remedies to keep on hand so you can take them at the first signs of illness. My at-home faves are Fire cider or Ginger-Scallion tea, and my key essential oils to keep on hand at this time of year, especially for steam inhalation: Rosemary verbenone, balsam fir and sweet thyme (linalool).πŸŒΏβ € β € #tcmsummerwellness #holistichealing #traditionalchinesemedicine #summer #healing #naturalhealth #naturalhealing #herbalmedicine #latesummer #northerncalifornia #sfbayarea #oakland #sanleandro #acupuncture #acupuncturists #traditionalmedicine #kitchenmedicine #holisticuniversity #diyhealing #selfcare #feminism #healtheworld

Summer Wellness Series #7: Herbs + Supplements for Late Summer πŸ„πŸŒΆοΈπŸ₯„πŸ’Šβ €β € β € This wisdom from @erinwoodacupuncture in our Summer Wellness Series really spoke to me today. Head to her website www.erinwoodacupuncture.com or click the link in my bio to read the whole article, including specific herbs and supplements she recommends for this time of year, and follow #tcmsummerwellness for all the posts in the series.β €β € .β € .β € πŸŒΎπŸŒΎπŸŒΎβ € As we talk about the bigger picture in regards to health, it is important to remember that part of life is suffering. It is normal to not be well or what might be considered 100%. β € πŸŒΎπŸŒΎβ € As health care practitioners, we are not trying to prevent any illness or death. Sometimes we need to be under the weather to build our immune systems or slow down. We are trying to find tools, foods, herbs, and habits that support us to feel less pain and more energy. β € πŸŒΎβ € We are human and life is fragile and fleeting. The ebbs and flows, the yin and yang aspects, are normal. It is helpful to remember that in a capitalist society, we are rewarded for being productive and able to work as much as possible. That just isn’t realistic or compassionate.πŸŒΎβ€οΈβ € .β € #tcmsummerwellness #holistichealing #traditionalchinesemedicine #summer #healing #naturalhealth #naturalhealing #herbalmedicine #latesummer #northerncalifornia #sfbayarea #oakland #sanleandro #acupuncture #acupuncturists #traditionalmedicine #kitchenmedicine #holisticuniversity #diyhealing #selfcare #feminism #healtheworld
