Inner Wisdom Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine

We love it when our Acu babies come in for a visit! From conception to delivery, we provide safe and effective pre-natal, and postpartum care to expecting mamas. Acupuncture is a great adjunct to support a healthy pregnancy! This little one brought so much joy to our clinic today! 🥰

“This past year I learned even more about the fascinating art and science of acupuncture and the many diverse conditions it can cure. Getting to know so many friendly faces and watch lives change for the better has made this a fulfilling career. I consider myself lucky to work along side such an intelligent and caring doctor. And our little team at the clinic is a joy to work with.” -Megan Egge

Megan’s been with our clinic for a whole year now! Thank you Megan, for all that you do!

Seed cycling is something we advise our patients to try to regulate the menstrual cycle. We recommend seed cycling for PCOS, amenorrhea, peri menopause, and for women who have mid cycle bleeding. So what is seed cycling?

Seed cycling is a natural method that some people use to help balance hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, throughout the menstrual cycle. It involves consuming specific seeds during different phases of the menstrual cycle, typically divided into two phases: the follicular phase and the luteal phase.

Here’s how seed cycling typically works:

1. Follicular phase: During this phase, which begins on the first day of menstruation, flax seeds and pumpkin seeds are often consumed. Flaxseeds are rich in lignans, which may help modulate estrogen levels, while pumpkin seeds provide zinc and omega-3 fatty acids, which can support hormone production.
2. Luteal phase: in the second half of the menstrual cycle, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds are commonly consumed. Sesame seeds contain lignans and other nutrients that may support progesterone production, while sunflower seeds are a good source of vitamin E and selenium, which can support hormone balance.

Seed cycling is not for everyone. It is important to work with us on dosing recommendations. If you are interested in fertility, reproductive health, or women’s health call us to set up a free consultation. 360-443-6508. We look forward to serving you with acupuncture and natural medicine.

🤧Suffering from allergies?

🐝Bee pollen is a natural remedy for seasonal allergies due to its immune boosting properties. We picked up some bee pollen from a local source to offer to our patients that suffer from seasonal allergies.

Here’s how how bee pollen may help with seasonal allergies:

1. Desensitization: Bee pollen contains small amounts of the same allergen that trigger allergic reactions in some people. Consuming small amounts of these allergens may help desensitize the immune system over time reducing allergic reactions.

2. Anti-inflammatory effects: some studies suggest that bee pollen may have anti-inflammatory properties, which could help alleviate allergy symptoms such as nasal congestion.

3. Antioxidants: Bee pollen is rich in antioxidants, such as flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which may help reduce inflammation and protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

4. Boosting immune function: Bee pollen contains vitamins, minerals and other nutrients that support immune function. By boosting the immune system, bee pollen may help the body cope better with allergens.

There are cases where bee pollen is not appropriate, such as bee allergies or asthma.

Call us for a free consultation to see if you are a good fit for our acupuncture allergy protocols. 360-443-6508

😬🦵🏾Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS is a neurological disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations such as crawling, tingling, itching, or burning. These sensations typically occur when the individual is resting or inactive, particularly in the evening or at night, leading to disrupted sleep patterns and diminished quality of life. Lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, and establishing a consistent sleep schedule can also help relieve symptoms. 

✨Acupuncture treatments for RLS target specific points along the meridians to help alleviate these neurological symptoms. The TCM diagnosis for restless leg syndrome varies, and our treatments are tailored to each individual. If you or a loved one suffers from RLS please call our clinic to set up a free consultation. 360-443-6508

Jessica gets great results with acupoint injection therapy! So much so that she teaches other acupuncturists how to treat scars and trigger points. Acupoint injection therapy is a natural drug free treatment that helps release painful trigger points, reduces nerve pain, improves joint mobility, reduces migraines, and mobilizes scar tissue.

Welcome to the world, Acu Baby! We love helping families grow!

What a great day to be at the clinic doing what I absolutely love most. We help people get in touch with their bodies, their goals and their life’s purpose. Traditional Chinese Medicine treats the person as a whole and we help each patient discover where they are blocked. Our safe effective drug free treatments restore balance in the body. Healing is not linear it is a process. Our tailored treatment plans are individualized and every day our patients report gratitude for the impact we are making in their lives! 😌

This baby’s mom came in to be treated for Long Covid. It turns out that treating the root of her condition from a TCM perspective helped her get pregnant and stay pregnant, after trying for 5 years!!! We are amazed by this natural medicine!

Welcome to the world, little one!! 🕊️👶

Late summer “earth season” is the time to nourish the spleen and stomach. In the five element cycle the spleen is located in the center. She is the daughter of fire, and mother of metal. The spleen is responsible for making blood and nourishing the heart. If the spleen is out of balance one can experience heart palpitations, poor memory or brain fog, and menstrual irregularity. The spleen controls water. If the spleen is not able to transform and transport nutrients, then dampness can accumulate in the abdomen and extremities. The tissues of the earth element are the muscles. When the spleen is strong our muscles have good tone. The emotion of earth is worry or over thinking. When the spleen sends blood to the heart then thinking becomes clear and sharp. The color of the earth element is yellow, and flavor of the spleen is sweetness. Here is a delicious late summer recipe that will nourish the spleen, calm worry, build blood, and drain dampness.

Butternut Squash Soup
3 cups water
2-3 cloves garlic
1 apple quartered
1 medium butternut squash (3-4lbs.) peeled seeded and cubed.
1 red or yellow onion diced
2” k**b of ginger
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper to taste
One Veggie bouillon cube
1 (15oz) can of organic coconut milk

Add all ingredients except coconut milk to instant pot. Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes allow instant pot to naturally release. Add coconut milk and purée. Delicious! 😋
