Watermelon is highly nutritious because it is rich in water, vitamin C, vitamin A, lycopene, and other antioxidants that support hydration, immune function, skin health, and protection against oxidative stress while being naturally low in calories.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, watermelon is considered sweet and very cooling in nature. It is used to clear Summer Heat, quench thirst, promote the production of body fluids, relieve irritability, and encourage urination to help reduce excess Heat. It is especially valued during hot weather or for people showing signs of heat, such as thirst, dry mouth, or dark urine. Because of its strong cooling properties, it is generally eaten in moderation by people with cold constitutions or weak digestion, particularly during cooler seasons.

Nine years ago, I set up my very first event to introduce Essence to the community. The practice wasn't even open yet, I just had a dream, a lot of hope, and so much excitement to share what I believed in.
Fast forward to today, and Essence has grown into a thriving practice with an incredible team. Together, we're honored to help thousands of patients every year.

It's amazing to look back and see how far we've come. I'm so grateful to our staff, our patients, and everyone who has supported this journey. What once felt like a dream is now my reality, and I couldn't be more thankful. ❤️

Here's to the next 9 years! 🙌🏼

Blueberries are especially valued for eye health because they are rich in anthocyanins, the natural pigments that give them their deep blue color. Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants that help protect the retina from oxidative stress, support healthy blood vessels in the eyes, and may help reduce age related damage to vision. Blueberries also provide vitamin C, which helps maintain healthy blood vessels and supports the production of collagen found in the cornea. Together, these nutrients help protect the eyes from free radical damage while supporting long term visual health. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, blueberries are believed to nourish the Liver, which is closely connected to eye health, while also supporting Kidney Yin and helping maintain clear, comfortable vision.

Six Gentlemen Formula is a classic herbal formula that supports digestive health and helps reduce dampness and phlegm associated with a weakened digestive system. It may be beneficial for those experiencing poor appetite, bloating, loose stools, occasional nausea, fatigue, or a feeling of heaviness. Traditionally, it is used to strengthen digestion, improve the body's ability to process food and fluids, and promote a greater sense of balance and vitality. Ask about it at your next session if your digestion needs support.

Making time for self care is not a luxury. It is an investment in your health and well being. When you take care of yourself, you have more energy, resilience, and balance to show up for the people and things that matter most.

Self care tools are practices that support your physical, mental, and emotional well being. They can look different for everyone, but common examples include:

Acupuncture
Massage therapy
Exercise or movement
Walking outdoors
Meditation or mindfulness
Deep breathing exercises
Yoga or stretching
Journaling
Reading for enjoyment
Getting enough sleep
Eating nourishing meals
Staying hydrated
Setting healthy boundaries
Spending time with supportive friends and family
Taking breaks from screens and social media
Hobbies such as gardening, painting, or music
Therapy or counseling
Prayer or spiritual practices
Relaxation techniques such as a warm bath or listening to calming music

The most effective self care tools are the ones you can realistically make part of your routine. Acupuncture fits well into a self care plan because it encourages your body to regulate stress, improve recovery, relieve pain, and promote overall balance.
