Why are we always asking to see your tongue?! Practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine use the tongue diagnostically! The color (is it red, pink, purple-ish, pale?!), coating (thin, thick, wet, dry, no coat), shape (thin, swollen, long, etc) and location of different coats/colors tells us a LOT about your health. We use this info to come up with a proper TCM diagnosis for you and then treat you accordingly 😊 #tonguediagnosis #tcm #traditionalchinesemedicine

Gut health is so important for our overall well-being and immune system. By fixing these 3 common mistakes you can start healing your gut, have more energy and less bloating. 1. The most common problem I encounter is my patient’s eating way too much raw and cold food/beverages (think salads, sushi, raw veggies, ice water, ice cream, just to name a few). In traditional Chinese medicine our metabolism is thought of like a furnace - to get it going properly we need the right fuel; dry and warm are always best, especially first thing in the morning. Good examples are hot tea, oatmeal, cooked eggs, rice porridge, etc. 2. Not taking a good probiotic! I recommend ALL of my patient’s get a good probiotic to help counteract existing gut issues and fortify our immune system. My favorite is from metagenics. 3. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach. Almost all of us love coffee (me included), and many of us like to have that first cup as soon as we open our eyes. But coffee is very acidic, and can contribute to inflammation in the gut - especially without anything in there to buffer it. So resist the urge and instead start with a cup of herbal tea, and then move onto your coffee with breakfast. #traditionalchinesemedicine #guthealth #womenshealth

I see a lot of patients specifically for their mental health - anxiety, stress, depression. There’s a lot you can do on your own to ease your symptoms and naturally stimulate the release of neurotransmitters (which are often in low quantities when dealing with syndromes like depression). Watch for info how you can boost your mental health at home. And if it’s not enough, dm me and we can discuss other treatment options ❤️ #depressionhelp #depressionsupport #depressionandanxiety #acupunctureformentalhealth

The Autumnal Equinox is here. Today the day and the night are the same length, and soon the days will begin to shorten to give way to longer nights. Use this time to give thanks for the harvest - your physical and spiritual harvests. Give thanks for what has served you, and release what is not. Now is the time to commune with nature and connect with the energy that drives us all. Work on finding the balance in your homes and lives as the earth shows us this great time of balance between light and dark. #autumnequinox #balance
