Elliott Acupuncture & Chinese Herbal Medicine

These lovelies just in from @beccavank the amazing fantasy furist. #beccavank #plushiesofinstagram #plush #fantasyfur #clinicart

One of the best summary articles I've read so far on how the virus might be operating. Kind of functions like an ACE inhibitor (type of blood pressure medication) out of control "As bradykinin builds up in the body, it dramatically increases vascular permeability. In short, it makes your blood vessels leaky. This aligns with recent clinical data, which increasingly views Covid-19 primarily as a vascular disease, rather than a respiratory one."

Part of my inspiration to study ethnobotany and botanical medicine.

I just caught snippets getting in and out of the car - but much of what Dr. Tieri was saying about common pain complaints, and how to address them, struck me as right on - can't wait to listen to the whole interview.

An article on the finer points of masks and breathing. Looking forward to James Nestor’s book Breath.

Elliott Acupuncture is OPEN! Albeit with a lot of new guidelines and manual scheduling for now - call or email for an appointment. The Make an Appointment button on the website will soon take you to Jane to schedule. Stay safe, contact me with any questions, and donate to organizations that support African Americans and people of color so we can begin to right the current wrongs and inequities.
