I’m a second generation “crunchy mom”!😂
☯️ Also a second generation Doctor of Acupuncture and East Asian medicine.
My parents actually owned a little health food store in their acupuncture clinic in the late 80s in Palm Springs where I grew up. ☀️🌴
I feel very fortunate to have grown up with all the herbs, natural remedies, organic foods, and nontoxic products.
💕I’m sharing this to show that’s it’s nothing new, i’m not just hopping on a trend, I have lived this lifestyle my whole life, and it’s important!
Unfortunately our environment is filled with chemicals and we really have to do our best to reduce exposure and stay healthy. I am here to guide you and will be sharing more tips on how to live a lower tox life.
✨Let me know what you’re struggling with the most so I can help!

I have been taking HealthAid products for decades now. These are my go to’s for immune support that I always pack when I’m traveling ✈️and I also take them at home when I need an immunity boost.
🛍️You can pick these up at Aculand if you are in LA or can order directly from HealthAid
(not sponsored I just truly love the quality and efficacy of these products! They are made in England 🇬🇧)
✨Let me know if you want to see some of my other favorite supplements that I take💕

I’m 41. Zero botox, Zero filler. No filter or editing on photo, no skin tint, foundation or concealer. Is my skin perfect? No, I have some bumps and fine lines and I’m ok with that! Here are 9 tips for glowing skin from within.
1️⃣💖It comes from within! Our shen is expressed through our eyes and on our face. How we feel internally will manifest on the exterior. Do what you can to be happy and
minimize stress in your life.
2️⃣🚭No smoking/ va**ng. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the lungs control our skin. Smoking cause heat and is drying, this will age your skin and create dullness.
3️⃣🍷Little to no alcohol. It’s a toxin, creates premature aging, and it’s dehydrating.
4️⃣😴Prioritize Sleep! It’s during the REM cycle when our body does most of the cellular rejuvenation including collagen production. Aim for 8-9 hours. Also the time that we are asleep is important. If possible go to sleep before 11 pm. Night time is Yin time!
5️⃣🌶️Limit spicy foods if you are prone to acne and redness
6️⃣💦💦Hydrate, you all know why!
7️⃣☯️Get your hormones balanced. Symptom free periods that come at consistent intervals is the goal. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are excellent at regulating your cycle.
8️⃣🚽Make sure you are having daily bowel movements. If you need help go see your local acupuncturist. We will ask you all the details. Nothing is TMI!
9️⃣🥰Last but not least (this list could be endless) Facial/ Cosmetic Acupuncture, boost collagen and reduce fine lines naturally ✨
👀Which one are you skipping, be honest!

🥰Cosmetic or Facial acupuncture stimulates collagen and
elastin production.
💖This is a natural, nontoxic treatment that goes beyond healthy, younger looking skin. It also addresses the disharmonies in the body thereby improving overall health.
Benefits of Cosmetic Acupuncture include:
💕Reduction in fine lines & improved complexion
💕Boosting collagen & elastin
💕Softening of deep lines
💕Improvement in acne, rosacea, and broken capillaries 💕Softer, smoother, and more vibrant skin
🦄This treatment is also so deeply relaxing! Many of the acupuncture points on the face are used to calm the mind and ease anxiety!
✨If you are new here, I’m Dr. Kara, Dr of Acupuncture and East Asian medicine and licensed acupuncturist. Follow Dr. Kara | Acupuncturist + Women’s Health + Wellness💗 for all things natural wellness💖☯️

💖Acupressure for Hormone Balance ✨save this for when you need it!
☯️These seven points target the meridians that matter most for hormone balance: Liver, Kidney, and Spleen. In Chinese medicine, these three organ systems are the foundation of hormonal health.
🖤Kidney holds your reproductive essence
💛Spleen is the source of Qi and Blood production
💚Liver keeps everything flowing instead of stuck
❤️A few of these points also calm the nervous system, because your stress response and your hormones are never separate systems, they’re communicating to each other constantly.
🤏🏽Massaging these points can absolutely help: easing tension, supporting circulation, calming your system down. But truly, pressing on a few points isn’t going to completely rebalance your hormones on its own. Real hormonal shifts take a full picture: sleep, nutrition, stress load, and often actual acupuncture treatment🦄. Acupressure is a great supportive tool!💕
Comment “HORMONES” if you want Part 2 with the exact locations.✨

‼️The biggest threat to your fertility isn’t your age it’s your lifestyle and toxic load.
The good news? Unlike your age, your environment is something you CAN actually change.
🧪Chemicals in everyday products can disrupt your hormones, affect egg quality, and can make conception harder.
✨Here’s where to start:
✅Switch to high quality filtered or spring water
✅Ditch synthetic fragrance (candles, perfume, air fresheners)
✅Replace plastic food containers with glass
✅Choose organic ( especially for the dirty dozen)
✅Swap non-stick cookware for cast iron, ceramic, or stainless steel
✅Stop exercising in plastic, switch to organic cotton
💕Save this as your toxic load starter guide
Tell me how many of these swaps have you already made or what’s been the hardest for you?

☯️Ever wonder what Yin Yang really means?
The Yin Yang theory is one of the most fundamental concepts in Traditional Chinese Medicine and it is the foundation of diagnosis and treatment. The theory is basic and incredibly complex at the same time. All things in the universe have aspects of yin or yang. They are two opposite yet complementary energies. Nothing is absolutely yin or absolutely yang. That’s why there is a little bit of one color within the other, and vice versa.
☯️In Chinese medicine we seek to balance the yin and yang energy in the body to create harmony in the body and mind.
