New Year Detox

I hope your past year was productive, insightful, and wonderful. For many, including myself, 2019 was a bit of a rough road. I am glad that it is over and I wouldn't wish to repeat it, but I am also glad it happened because I learned a lot. Among the changes for 2020, I will most likely be spending more time down at Luna Circle Wellness working in the community acupuncture clinic there. In order to kick off the new year right, Jan 1st I will be taking walk in patients and appointments from 10am to 11am. We are also having a last minute new year special acudetox treatment for $20

Acudetox is a protocol that uses 5 needles in each ear, 10 total needles, and is good for stress, anxiety, and for quitting bad habits that no longer serve you. For the past 3 and a half years I have been a certified acupuncture detoxification specialist supervisor overseeing CADS who provide this treatment in addiction/harm-reduction spaces and I know it is a wonderful and low cost / low pressure treatment option. I have also used it for patients that just need a quiet place and a little help dealing with everyday stress.

Even though this formula comes towards the back of modern formula textbooks, it is often one of the first prescriptions an aspiring physician learns. The typical scenario is that a Chinese medicine student eats too much at a party or celebration the day/night before. In the morning, after complaining of a stomach ache, their teacher will give them this formula and then use the 'teachable moment' to discuss the herbs in the formula. The primary action of this formula is Promoting digestion and regulating the Stomach. The ...

Catching Up on Sleep this Weekend

It's almost the weekend! How many of us are planning on "catching up" on sleep. That is sleeping in late, or going to bed early, because we missed some sleep during the week. If we compare sleep to money then it makes sense that we can catch up on sleep. Just like if you spend too much money one week, provided you don't bankrupt yourself, you can scrimp the next week and have the same amount of money in the bank at the end of the month. Like most things in the human body, our sleep schedules are not that simple. There is no clear answer to why humans need sleep; however, some of the consequences of sleep deprivation include lowered immune function and decreased muscle growth[1]. We often use or hear the phrase "sleep debt" to represent the cumulative negative effects of insufficient sleep over multiple nights. This term, used by researchers and health professionals, reinforces the analogy of sleep as money. As if there was a "sleep bank" t...
