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.

What would you do if you were bitten by a snake? Do you have one of those snake bite kits available in the drug store? I'll tell you why I don't further on in this post! Poisonous Snakes? Trick question: how many poisonous snakes are there in North America? The first thing you need to know is: There is a difference between poisonous and venomous .
