One of the many Chinese Medicine tinctures I handcraft in small batches. It is part of our home medicine cabinet

This formula is a LIFESAVER from Shanti Herbs for healing an EAR INFECTION. 👂
The first time I used this on my son, he was on antibiotics, but not getting consistently better. So I got this formula Xiao Chai Hu Tang and within hours his fever finally broke and he became his old self again. 👂
It’s been 2 yrs and my 4 yr old got hit with an epic 6 days of fevers, until we learned it was an ear infection. I pulled this out and again, fever broke and the sparkle in his eyes are back. Even when I feel him getting warm, I give a dose and fever goes away. 👂
I’m so grateful we have this available at The Village for all the young families. This formula is a must have essential, so when their ears begin to hurt you can pull it out at 2am. 👂

I'm excited to be joining The Village Community Acupuncture clinic on Thursdays. It is a relaxing communal space that offers acupuncture services on a sliding scale from $30-$50. Hope to see you there :)

Let's WELCOME Dr Angela Foran to The Village. She'll be offering acupuncture on Thursdays 10-1pm.

Angela has been practicing for 10 years. In her practice she sees her role as a guide to help others to achieve their
version of optimal health.

She has volunteered with different non-profits, taught at a local TCM school, trained healthcare workers in Uganda to do acupuncture and had her own private practice.

She enjoys being part of a community, sharing experience with patients and practitioners alike.

When she is not in clinic you can find her tincturing away in her apothecary where she makes standard and custom herbal formulas for patients and other practitioners...you
may have seen them here - Immune Booster is a fave.

Being a Libra Angela is naturally always looking for balance - between work, business,family, time outdoors for exercise and gardening, plus travel when possible, life is full and fulfilling :)
