Life Lessons

You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The person I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.

I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful kid.

Happy Mother's day!
I said a Mother's Day prayer for you
to thank the Lord above
for blessing me with a lifetime
of your tenderhearted love.
I thanked God for the caring
you've shown me through the years,
for the closeness we've enjoyed
in time of laughter and of tears
And so, I thank you from the heart
for all you've done for me
and I bless the Lord for giving me
the best mother there could be!

💡Facial cupping has been shown to:
📍 Increase oxygen-rich blood circulation
Strengthen skin and connective tissues
📍 Stimulate cells responsible for collagen production
📍 Relax muscle tension
💡Because of this, facial cupping it is said to:
📍Brighten skin
📍 Minimize the appearance of scars, fine lines,
and wrinkles
📍 Tone chin, jawline, neck, and décolletage
📍 Decrease puffiness
📍Regulate oil production
📍Improve nutrient delivery and product absorption

✅Facial cupping is also beneficial for reducing pain
from TMJ (aka-TMD Temporomandibular joint dysfunction).
📍TMJ often causes pain on the muscles of the face
due to stress clenching of the jaw or grinding of the
teeth.
📍Cupping lifts the muscles to create a mild stretch to
help melt the tension lurking in muscles within the
forehead, cheeks, eyes, and jawline

🔥Therapeutic effects of cupping🔥
1. Stimulates the movement of Qi- cupping
allows the flow of energy to occur.
2. Relieves pain and tension.
3. Helps the body detox by expelling toxins
through the skin.
4. Improves circulation to the muscle that are
tired and drained from everyday use.
5. Decreases inflammation.
6. Breaks up fascial adhesions
📍Cupping is often recommended as a
complementary therapy for the following
conditions:-
✏️Back pain
✏️Headache or migraine
✏️Knee pain
✏️Muscle pain and soreness
✏️Neck and shoulder pain
✏️Sports injuries and recovery
✏️Bronchial congestion due to the cold or
asthma, peunomonia

Facial Acupuncture is a painless method  of reducing the signs of aging. By inserting hair-thin, tiny acupuncture needles into points on the face and scalp.  This increases collagen production (goodbye fine lines), increases circulation (goodbye puffiness), and stimulates a more radiant, even complexion.

Have a safe Memorial Day!

Happy Mother's day to all the beautiful and strong mom's out there 💓 ❤️

Acupuncture for sinusitis.

Acupuncture reduces the inflammation and pain to lessen the congestion in the sinuses.
It helps with the movement and drainage of fluids in the body to assist in the breakdown of the phlegm and mucous.
It increases local microcirculation which aids in the healing of the sinuses.

Acupuncture and Sinusitis.
With allergy season upon us, alot of people don't know that acupuncture can help with allergies and sinusitis.
Acupuncture can bring relieve for  sinus pain, sinus congestion, sinus headache and sinus infections.
What is Sinusitis ?
Sinusitis is the inflammation of the cavities and membranes in and around the nasal passages. Sinuses are small air pockets which are located behind the forehead, nose, cheeckbones and between the eyes.

Sometimes indoor or outdoor allergens, change of temperature or the common cold tend to cause excessive mucous to form leading to blocked sinuses.
The build up of the mucous allows viruses and bacteria to linger longer than they should causing a sinus infection to develop.

I don't know of any other planet more beautiful than planet Earth. All of it's diversity with breathtaking sunsets and sunrises, with deep misterious oceans, blue skies, windy skies, rainy skies all beautiful in their own way.
Plants, trees and animals all so majestic and full of life.
Happy Earth Day 🌎 💓

Thankful Thursday and let’s be thankful for

Friends and family that support you
Time you have to make it happen
Life lessons that make you wiser

📍Research has shown that acupuncture triggers your nervous system to release beta-endorphins, your “feel good chemicals.” These are important in pain management because they produce a morphine-like effect.
📍Beta-endorphins flood your system and help decrease the perception of pain; it causes you to feel pleasure, relaxation and even a sense of euphoria. You’ve likely experienced a quick rush of endorphins during exercise, eating chocolate , or laughing uncontrollably.
📍Your beta-endorphin level remains elevated twenty-four hours after an acupuncture session. Therefore, if you suffer from chronic pain issues, having treatments a few days apart will give your body the boost it needs to heal.

Dear Woman,

You're a transformational force. You're a facilitator of change. You're a limitless wheel of fortune. You're adaptable. You're a perfect role player. You're an executionist. You're powerful. You're a great asset to humanity. Your spirit is indestructible. You're loved!

Hello March 👋
As we welcome March into our lives, we are also reminded that Spring is near ☀️🌻
In Traditional Chinese Medicine spring is the time of creating, cleaning, activity, movement, growth and renewal.
Spring is associated with the wood element that pertains to the Liver/Gallbladder energy. The Liver is responsible for the smooth movement of Qi throughout the body. If qi flow it's interrupted it can lead to Liver qi stagnation.

This can manifest as:
📍Neck and shoulder tension.
📍Digestive symptoms
📍PMS
📍Poor sleep
📍Irritability
📍Frustration
📍Impatience
📍Anger

This is why the spring is the time to focus on releasing emotions that no longer serve us, specially the ones rooted in anger, resentment, frustration and lethargy.

The Liver and Gallbladder also work together to aid our digestion, move blood and bile, they also play an important role in:

📍Spleen and Lung health—which can affect your immunity and susceptibility to seasonal allergies
📍The tendons—which can impact flexibility and strength
📍Your eye health—clear vision moving forward

❤What is self-care?

Self-care is the conscious act a person takes in order to promote their own physical, mental, and emotional health.Self-care is an important aspect for building resilience toward those stressors in life that you can't eliminate. When you've taken steps to care for your mind and body, you'll be better equipped to live your best life.

💛What are different types of self-care?

🤸‍♀️Physical Self-Care- it includes how you're fueling your body, how much sleep you're getting, how much physical activity you are doing, and how well you're caring for your physical needs.

😌Emotional Self-Care- It's important to have healthy coping skills to deal with emotions, like anger, anxiety, and sadness. Emotional self-care may include activities that help you acknowledge and express your feelings regularly and safely
Spiritual Self-Care- Research shows that a lifestyle including religion or spirituality is generally a healthier lifestyle.

🙏Nurturing your spirit, however, doesn't have to involve religion. It can involve anything that helps you develop a deeper sense of meaning, understanding, or connection with the universe

🤯Mental Self-Care - The way you think and the things that you're filling your mind with greatly influence your psychological well-being.
Mental self-care includes doing things that keep your mind sharp, like puzzles, or learning about a subject that fascinates you. You might find reading books or watching movies that inspire you fuels your mind.

👭Social Self-Care- Socialization is key to self-care. But, often, it's hard to make time for friends and it's easy to neglect your relationships when life gets busy. Close connections are important to your well-being. The best way to cultivate and maintain close relationships is to put time and energy into building your relationships with others.

💚Why Is Self-Care Important?

Having an effective self-care routine has been shown to have a number of important health benefits. Some of these include:
📌Reducing anxiety and depression
📌Reducing stress and improving resilience
📌Improving happiness
📌Increasing energy
📌Reducing burnout
📌Stronger interpersonal relationship

If someone tells you that acupuncture does not work but they don't have any idea of the benefits of acupuncture.. big red flag 🚩🚩🚩.
You don't need that kind of negativity in your life!
📌Research shows that acupuncture triggers your nervous system to release beta-endorphins, your “feel good chemicals.” These are important in pain management because they produce a morphine-like effect. When beta-endorphins are released, they are attracted like a lock and key for a receptor in your body that helps to decrease your perception of pain.

📌Beta-endorphins flood your system and cause you to feel pleasure, relaxation and even a sense of euphoria. You’ve likely experienced a quick rush of endorphins during exercise, eating chocolate or when laughing uncontrollably.

📌Your beta-endorphin level remains elevated twenty-four hours after an acupuncture session. Therefore, if you suffer from chronic pain issues, having treatments a few days apart will give your body the boost it needs to heal.

Wishing you and all of your loved ones health and happiness in the new year.
Happy 2022!
