Vessel is closing and is no longer taking new clients. I'm incredibly sad, but I'm heading back to where I came from! I hope to return some day, this medicine was wonderfully received in this area and I'm so grateful for how supportive this community has been for my practice in such a short time. 💛

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can ease the "blows" of allergies!

Research shows symptoms with greatest improvements included sneezing, itchy nose, itchy eyes, runny nose, blocked nose and interrupted sleep.

The science: As simply as I can put it, acupuncture changes immune system responses to allergens and significantly reduces the body's various inflammatory substances involved in causing the symptoms. Check out evidencebasedacupuncture.org, the evidence summary for allergic rhinitis, for the specifics!

In traditional Chinese medical theory, we strengthen the Lung and Spleen, the two primary organs involved in being susceptible to allergens. We transform dampness and phlegm, pacify wind, clear heat if necessary, and unblock the channels that run through the sinuses.

The scary hypodermic needle that pushes out liquid (think vaccine, the needle numbing your mouth at the dentist) is a hollow tube that's about 28.5 mm thick. The average acupuncture needle I use is .20 mm thick. Read that again! It's insane how thin acupuncture needles are. About 20 of them can fit into the end of a hypodermic needle. They're solid yet flexible and are often inserted unnoticeably. Upon insertion the needles part the cells rather than pierce them. Fun!

Emily L. says: When I came to Andrea, I had been struggling with pain in my glutes, lower back, and knee for over a year. I had already completed months of chiropractic work, physical therapy, and even gotten an MRI, but pain still lingered. My doctor said all they could suggest was a cortisone shot or a shot to numb the area, but neither would be a permanent fix. Wanting to get to the root of the issue rather than cover up the symptoms, I began weekly sessions with Andrea. In just 5 sessions, I've gone from struggling to go on a 30 minute walk, to feeling confident in my old exercise routines. My pain has become minor and completely manageable. I can't recommend Andrea enough. She's calm, caring, and experienced.

I just left Lunar Organics with their Nirvana CBD pain relief salve in hand. It smells lovely and would be good for those who don't enjoy smelling strongly of peppermint or camphor! I'm excited to see how daily use of it treats me. Topical salves and linaments, whether Chinese herbal based or CBD based, are an important part of my self care and I almost always recommend them to my clients. The store has some beautiful creations and loose leaf teas, and Angela was so sincerely kind and helpful. 💛
