Ear seeds are a powerful tool that anyone can use at home.

During your acupuncture treatments, you may have received acupuncture needles on your ear (auricular acupuncture). Or, maybe you went home with some little stickers with gold beads on your ear. These are ear seeds. What’s the reasoning behind this?

The ear is a microsystem of the entire body. Stimulating these points can treat a wide variety of conditions. Treatment of medical conditions with points on the ear has been used since ancient times.

Because the points on the ear are so close to the surface of the body, we can use acupuncture, acupressure, and even lasers to treat them.

Stimulating auricular points can help:

Acne/Skincare
Addiction
Allergies
Back Pain/Sciatica
Cough
Digestive Support
Depression
Fertility
Focus and Memory
Headaches and Migraines
Hemorrhoids
Inflammation & Immunity
Libido
Women’s Health
Motion Sickness
Pain Relief
Post-Trauma
Sleep and Insomnia
Stop Smoking
Stress and Anxiety
Weight Loss

Ear seeds are a non-invasive, safe and effective tool used to stimulate acupuncture points.

sells handy kits to the public for at home use. The kits contain the seeds (actual seeds, stainless steel, or crystals), tweezers, and a booklet with directions on how to apply the seeds to specific points for the chosen condition. There are specialized kits geared towards specifically helping various conditions (listed above).

Are you suffering from chronic pain or discomfort? Acupuncture can provide relief from the pain.

What really inspires me is watching people make simple changes in their lives that improve mood, energy level, and love for life. Eastern holistic nutrition, choosing what we eat based on what our particular bodies need at that time, is such a helpful tool.

Watermelon is lower in calories than you’d probably guess. Not bad for a refreshing, cooling, sweet treat.

You’ll also get 40 percent of your needed daily vitamin C, and almost 40 percent of vitamin A. Another wonderful nutrient in watermelon is part of its cheery red color. Lycopene is a carotene, a red pigment, that also happens to be a powerful antioxidant.

This delicious fruit is also 90 percent water, so it’s a great food if you’re not a big water drinker. And it contains electrolytes as well, for that extra boost of hydration.

Oh, and you can also dice it up and put it in the blender for a tasty drink (you don’t even have to add water).

Summers aren't likely to get less hot or less polluted.

Do you what you can to buy some sort of air conditioner at least for your bedroom at night.

If you have air conditioning, consider purchasing an air purifier for your bedroom. Then at least you will have the best air possible for the 1/3 of your day that's spent sleeping.

Allergens and particulates end up on surfaces, where they can be stirred up as you move around the house.

Make a daily habit of a quick swiffer-type mop on hard floods and wipe down surfaces with a microfiber cloth to avoid airborne particles.

Ozone levels are lowest in the morning before the sun is blazing.

Keep an eye on the Air Quality Index (AQI) and stay indoors when it's at dangerous levels. You can also look at the air quality forecast to try to plan the best time for your outdoor exercise https://www.iqair.com/us/usa/colorado/denver

When you're deciding what to eat and drink, pick the most nutrient dense and colorful options. These foods contain natural antioxidants and vitamins like vitamin C.

Your body needs these compounds to clean up all the free radical damage from the ozone and toxins in the environment. They can also support the immune system and reduce allergy symptoms.

Fruits, veggies, diluted cranberry or pomegranate juice, plain green tea, and even coffee are great options.

“Liver foods” are anti-inflammatory and often anti-histamine, so eat up if you have allergies.

Many of the foods used to heal the liver, such as dandelion greens and sprouts, are naturally abundant this time of year.

While these foods are good for most people this time of year, signs you need this diet include irritability, short-temper, headaches, PMS, neck and shoulder tension, TMJ, many digestive issues, and more.

I love to create balance and harmony and eliminate symptoms, while teaching people how to heal the root of their issues themselves by using Eastern nutrition, Chinese herbs, and great self-care....and I love to see the it change lives because !

Most have heard about the amazing effects of acupuncture when it comes to chronic pain reduction and the improvement of life quality with various musculoskeletal disorders. This ancient healing method has a vast number of other physical, mental, and emotional benefits that not many individuals are familiar with. Some of these surprising benefits of acupuncture are the following:

1-Mood Enhancement. During and after the application of acupuncture needles, your central nervous system becomes stimulated and releases endorphins and other chemicals that lift your mood.

2-Headache Relief. The careful and exact placement of acupuncture needles near specific nerves have a wonderful pain-reductive effect. The endorphins released also support the feeling of the total loss of discomfort, leading to a breakthrough in your headaches and recurring migraines.

3-Sleep Quality Improvement. Acupuncture increases your body's natural ability to produce more melatonin. This hormone — when present in optimal amounts — regulates your sleep-wake cycles.

4-Energy Boost. By thoroughly balancing the body's energetic field, an optimal set-point can be reached and all organs can function correctly. As a result, you can experience a state of ease that allows for a better quality of rest and becoming pain-free.

5-Allergy Reduction. Regular acupuncture sessions are very capable of fighting seasonal and other common types of allergies. Boosting our bodies' natural immunity and self-healing abilities, allergens are less likely to wreak havoc, and the frequency of attacks can be greatly diminished, as well.

Have you ever noticed that some people seem to have a dark cast on their faces? That's from bad circulation.

When there is any blockage to your circulation, that part of the body suffers. Wastes accumulate, your tissues aren’t fed, and pain and disease develop. Your skin lacks a glow, because it’s not being fed.

Cupping is a quick 30 minute appointment that helps release tension in tight muscles and improves circulation.

Soup is the ideal winter food. It’s soothing and easy to digest.

Here is my favorite recipe, which I eat all winter, and sometimes use as a base for a chunky vegetable soup.

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut off the top of the squash, and then carefully cut it lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Rub with coconut or other oil. Place squash cut side up on baking pan or directly on oven rack. Roast until it’s tender and begins to brown a bit on the skin and edges. Put aside to let cool.
2. When the squash is about done, heat the oil in a large soup pot. Saute the onion, apple, and sage leaves until onions are soft and translucent, about 5-10 minutes. Remove the sage leaves. Turn off the heat temporarily.
3. When the squash is cool enough to handle, scoop it out of its peel and add it to the pot. Add broth according to how thick you would like your soup to be (you may not want to use the whole quart). Turn the heat back up to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes, stirring and breaking up large pieces of the squash.
4. Use a handheld immersion blender and blend until smooth, or puree in blender in batches. Add salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy!
