☯️Not getting enough sleep can feel like torture. In East Asian medicine we look at night time as Yin time and daytime as Yang time. In each of us, we have Yin and Yang and at night, if we aren’t able to fall asleep or stay asleep, there is an imbalance of these two forces. ☯️In a healthy sleep pattern yin is sufficient to overcome the yang of the day to allow the mind & body to rest and restore. If either yin is deficient or yang is excess, the yin cannot overtake the yang which then causes sleep issues. ☯️Insomnia is a western societal epidemic, because we have become a yang society with screens, devices on constantly, working too much, worrying about personal, professional, and worldly issues. We take very little time to slow down, use our creative minds, meditate, give ourselves space for doing nothing. The balance has been lost. We’re in our heads, even when we are sleeping. ☯️In addition to treatment, add Yin activities into your daily life. An easy way to incorporate Yin into your life is to unplug in your typical routine, walking, running, driving, cleaning, whatever you already do, do it without music or a podcast or listen to meditation music instead. And maybe easier said than done but it will become easier when you notice your body relaxing and you start enjoying how it makes you feel. #selfcare #insomnia #yingyangbalance #yinyang #qi #seattleacupuncture #naturalmedicine #acupuncture #integrativemedicine #acupuncturetreatment #healyourself #acupuncturepractice #alternativemedicine #complimentarymedicine

“No Cold or Icy Drinks” - Acupuncturists always talk about staying away from cold or icy drinks and this is because they damage the Spleen. The health of your Spleen Qi is essential for many things that involve your overall health. 🌿The Spleen’s main function is to assist Stomach digestion by transporting and transforming food essences, absorbing the nourishment from food and separating the usable from the unusable part of food. It is also the central organ in the production of Qi: from the food and drink ingested. It extracts Food-Qi (Gu Qi) which is the basis for the formation of Qi and Blood. 🌿Diet plays an important role in the treatment of Spleen. The Spleen prefers warm and dry foods. ‘Warm” in terms of temperature and food energy. Examples of warming foods are ginger, pepper, meat. Examples of ‘cold’ foods are raw foods, fruit (with a few exceptions), some vegetables and icy-cold drinks/food. 🌿Acupuncture, herbal treatment, Qigong, along with some changes to your diet can help nourish your Spleen. 🌿If you are an over-thinker, do a lot of concentrating in your school or work, you may consider getting support for your Spleen. #selfcare #overthinking #qi #seattleacupuncture #naturalmedicine #acupuncture #integrativemedicine #acupuncturetreatment #healyourself #acupuncturepractice #alternativemedicine #complimentarymedicine

✨When we focus on the parts of our lives that are working or positive, this expands the positive energy in our life. ✨Energy goes where you focus it - similar to focusing Qi in acupuncture treatments. We insert needles to focus the Qi and that is where the energy goes. In a similar way, as you focus your energy on the positive aspects of your life, that energy expands and flows freely. ✨You can even focus on little things, like, ‘thank you, lungs, for giving me free and easy breaths every moment of every day’. ✨This focus on the positive is something I learned from an old friend many years ago - John Cooper. He was an incredible positive force on the planet when he was alive. From the other side now, I find his bright & shiny positive influence is tenfold! I am thankful for you, Coop, every day. #selfcare #gratitude #gratefulfortoday #dailygratitude #qi #seattleacupuncture #naturalmedicine #acupuncture #integrativemedicine #acupuncturetreatment #healyourself #acupuncturepractice #alternativemedicine #complimentarymedicine
✨I know what you are saying, it’s too hot for a heat lamp! But I still use this baby because it is not just about the heat. ✨TDP stands for “Teding Diancibo Pu”, which translates to “Special Electromagnetic Spectrum”. ✨It provides infrared electromagnetic energy that penetrates deep into the body. This infrared electromagnetic energy is great for pain (all types), blood circulation, reducing inflammation, enhanced healing and even treating skin conditions. Thanks to @lhasaoms for supplying me with the tools I need to be successful in my practice. #selfcare #TDPlamp #infrared #seattleacupuncture #naturalmedicine #acupuncture #integrativemedicine #acupuncturetreatment #healyourself #acupuncturepractice #alternativemedicine #complimentarymedicine

🌸I’m happy to share that if you have insurance that covers acupuncture, I am now credentialled with a few plans: AETNA, Premera Blue Cross and Regence and possibly others. It does depend on what your coverage is and whether you have met your deductible but we can figure all of that out. Provide your information to me ahead of your appointment or at your appointment and I will call and find out your benefits. 🌸You may or may not know that some insurance companies pay a fair amount for acupuncture services, and some pay very little. I will not be credentialled with companies that do not reimburse a fair $ amount, not because I want more money but to hopefully show them that they are not valuing the medicine as they should. 🌸When I billed insurance way back when, 20 years ago, it involved filling out paper forms and sending them through snail mail… now it is all online and so much easier!

🧩I get asked this from time to time by new patients. It is a reasonable question. 🧩If you have never had acupuncture, you may have questions about it before feeling comfortable to try it. I can go on about the benefits of acupuncture and East Asian medicine; how it is a natural form of healing that uses your own energy or Qi; how it does not have any adverse side effects like Western medication can have; how it is a lifelong practice that involves nutritional and lifestyle advice as well… But, if you have never had a treatment, there may be some fear. Fear about needles, fear about the unexpected. So here is some information that may help. 🧩Acupuncture, on the whole, is safe. Are there things that could happen? Yes. This is why we are trained professionals. We learn about all of the risks; we are trained & tested extensively in how to avoid them. • To practice in most states, WA included, practitioners have to pass the National Board exams to become nationally certified. • We also do Continuing Education every few years to maintain our National Certification. • In addition, acupuncturists need to be licensed with their state Department of Health - this also depends on the state. In Washington state, DOH license is required. 🧩In this month’s newsletter, I talk about needling techniques including the depth of insertion and angle of needle. I also talk about needle manipulation, whether to or not and practitioner preference. 🧩I also cite a research study about the risks of acupuncture and adverse reactions. 🧩To find out more, you can subscribe to my newsletter or go to my website and check them out there - each newsletter is posted to my website each month.

☀️When I got up early this morning and went outside, the sunrise was incredible. Seeing the beauty of my surroundings made me think how thankful I am for every day. Even though we don’t get a picturesque sunrise every day, there is one somewhere and I can imagine it at least. ☀️Additionally, lately, I’ve had the opportunity to see patients and assist them on their healing journeys and I could not be more thankful. ☀️Here is to seeing the beauty in every day and being thankful for every sunrise. #selfcare #seattleacupuncture #naturalmedicine #acupuncture #integrativemedicine #acupuncturetreatment #healyourself #acupuncturepractice #alternativemedicine #complimentarymedicine

🩵The dark & short days of winter are hard, especially the farther north you live. Winter is a time for rest, recovery, going inward and at the same time, we still have to live our lives and get things done. If this time of year is especially hard on you, here are some things that may help. 🩵Get Acupuncture! Acupuncture is amazing at helping wake up systems in our bodies that need a little help. It allows your body to re-align to its natural rhythm and balance . It may take more than one treatment to do so, depending on your current condition. I also recommend ear seeds. Your acupuncturist can insert tiny seeds onto points on your ear, held in place by a tiny, clear adhesive. 🩵Acupressure is something you can do at home, including pressing on the ear seeds. Points to try out at home are: • Du 20 - it is at the tip top of your head; put your thumbs at the top of your ears and then reach your middle fingers together at the top of your head. I recommend lightly tapping it until you feel it ‘come alive’. This point is the meeting point of all Yang channels. It clears your mind, and wakes you up. (I used to gently tap this point on my daughter when she was little to help her out of bed in the morning - pro tip!) • Kidney 27 - it is just below the collarbone, on both sides, about two finger-widths from your midline. Gentle tapping on these points will wake up your foundational energy (Kidney energy). This point is the end of, or last point on the Kidney channel. • Lung 1 - lateral to Kidney 27, also just below the collarbone, find a depression, as you slide your fingers outward from Kid 27, just before you get to the shoulder joint. You will find a tender spot. Gentle tapping or pressing to boost immunity and qi. This the first point on the Lung channel. 🩵Don’t worry if you don’t think you have exactly found the point. If you find a tender spot, go for it! Gentle tapping on parts of your body will help, no matter if you are exactly on the points above. #selfcare #seattleacupuncture #naturalmedicine #acupuncture #integrativemedicine #acupuncturetreatment #healyourself #acupuncturepractice #alternativemedicine #complimentarymedicine
Selfcare is not selfish 🩵You know the saying, “you can’t help someone until you take care of yourself first” but we so often don’t so this. We put ourselves aside again and again because we ‘need’ to help our child, our friend, our spouse, our parents, etc… there will always be someone in your life who needs you. But how long do we put ourselves and our needs aside? When do we matter enough to take care of ourselves? When the pain and suffering is unbearable or when there is no choice? 🩵My word of encouragement today is to say “I matter too; I matter and my needs are important.” #Imatter #selfcare #seattleacupuncture #naturalmedicine #acupuncture #integrativemedicine #acupuncturetreatment #healyourself #acupuncturepractice #alternativemedicine #complimentarymedicine

🌲Are you or someone you know having troubles recovering from a recent cold or covid? Do you have long lasting symptoms of shortness of breath, fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, body aches, headaches and insomnia? Do you want to feel like yourself again? 🌲In East Asian Medicine (EAM), we are looking at the presentation of symptoms and your underlying constitution so in that sense, we do not necessarily differentiate long-covid from any other long lasting cold symptoms. That being said, there are symptoms of long-covid that are consistent across patients and thus, there are particular treatment principles. 🌲I’ve been reading studies where acupuncture was included in the treatment of long-covid and having amazing results.
