As the breezes of spring are forming in the dead of this winter, I'm looking at medicinal plantings for March / April: https://www.mountaingardensherbs.com/

MEI GUI HUA, or "Chinese rose" used medicinally to regulate Qi

Lifestyle choices can make a big difference in your well-being. I've been working outdoors on my property the past 3 years, and it feels right to me.

This makes total sense in Traditional Oriental Medicine (TOM), given that disease arises from imbalance of both elements and substances. It’s so cool to see western science embracing the sense of smell as a diagnostic method!

Interesting look at the mess of health information out there. She doesn’t really offer solutions, she just points out the difference between real and sham methodologies. Would be nice if she delved a little deeper into how to differentiate the people who are really helping patients (western trained or not) vs not. At least she’s starting the conversation.

Really good information, and news: a comprehensive review of 80 studies show acupuncture and yoga are more effective at treating pain than surgery and opiates.

Important to learn that obesity is an epidemic, how it has developed and why.

Finally a real movement behind the luxury (as in: expense) of the "super-sweet".

What a great article explaining the physiological effects of producing rubor (redness) during gua sha treatments!

New offering, as of November 14: Community Acupuncture & Massage, Walk-in clinic Thursdays 2:30 - 4:30 PM at Plaza Wellness
