Uyayi Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine- Francis Marlon Bugarin, L.Ac.

Uyayi Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine- Francis Marlon Bugarin, L.Ac. Acupuncturist and Herbalist Lic # 15617 Francis Marlon Bugarin is a California State Board Licensed Acupuncturist as well as a Certified Massage Practitioner.

He graduated from the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences in Oakland with both a Masters of Sciences in Traditional Chinese Medicine and completed the Tui Na Medical Massage program. During his years of study Francis practiced massage in multiple Chinese Medicine Clinics where he was able to utilize and fully apply Chinese Medical philosophy to help patients with various ailments with w

hich he is now applying to Acupuncture treatments. With over 5 years of experience studying and practicing various traditional Chinese Modalities, Francis’s approach to treatment integrates both Acupuncture and Massage. He believes that the combination of the two modalities maximize the positive effect treatments for both external and internal concerns. Having the most experience with treating patients with pain management issues, Francis considers himself always a student and feels comfortable treating internal concerns as well. As an active youth, Francis always encountered more than the usual bumps and bruises and because of this was taken to different healers by his parents. He didn’t realize it then but their care made a very lasting subconscious impression that eventually led him to realize that he was meant to follow the same path. Francis truly believes that it is a gift to be able to serve others in this way and is grateful for the opportunity to assist others in facilitating their own wellness. When not practicing Chinese Medicine, Francis practices and competes in traditional karate tournaments and sings for recreation in both formal and casual settings. He truly believes that his martial arts and music really aid him in his understanding of the mind, body, and spirit and emphasize how important it is to keep the harmony between the three.

Still waiting for your body to go?

When constipation becomes a regular part of your life, it can affect so much more than your bathroom routine.

You may feel:

• Bloated and uncomfortable throughout the day

• Heavy, sluggish, or backed up

• Like you're constantly
thinking about when you'll finally be able to go

• Frustrated because you've tried to fix it, but nothing seems to last

• Uncomfortable enough that it starts affecting what you eat, where you go, and how you feel

You just want to feel normal again.

You want to wake up without wondering if today will be another day of feeling stuck.

You want to eat without worrying about how your stomach will feel afterward.

And you want your body to get back to doing what it is supposed to do—without constipation controlling your day.

There may be a new path forward.

Acupuncture may help support digestive function and encourage your body toward better balance—so you can start moving toward feeling more comfortable and more like yourself again.

THAT JOINT PAIN WON’T GO AWAY… COULD IT BE BURSITIS?

That nagging pain around your shoulder, hip, knee, or elbow may be more than just soreness.

🔹 Tenderness or swelling around the joint

🔹 Stiffness that makes everyday activities harder

🔹 Discomfort that keeps coming back

🔹 Pain that makes it difficult to sleep, exercise, or simply move comfortably

You may have tried resting, changing your routine, or pushing through the discomfort — but when pain continues, it can start to affect how you live your day-to-day life.

You don't have to ignore the pain and hope it goes away.

Through individualized acupuncture care, we work with you to address your specific symptoms and help you move toward feeling more comfortable and confident in your body again.

Living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma can make every breath feel like work.

Shortness of breath.
Chest tightness.
Constant coughing.
Feeling winded after simple activities.

Over time, these symptoms can affect much more than your lungs. They can make you feel frustrated, exhausted, and hesitant to do the things you once enjoyed.

Acupuncture may offer supportive relief for some of the symptoms that come with living with emphysema.

By focusing on specific acupuncture points, treatment may help support the body's breathing function, promote relaxation of the muscles involved in breathing, and help ease the tension and stress that can make the experience of breathlessness even more difficult.

At Uyayi Acupuncture, we take a personalized approach to acupuncture care for people living with chronic respiratory conditions.

Your treatment is tailored to your symptoms, your breathing concerns, and how COPD or Asthma is affecting your daily life.

The goal isn't to tell you to simply "live with it."

It's to help you find ways to feel more comfortable in your body and support your ability to move through your day with greater ease.

✨ Does it feel like your body hurts... even when you've done nothing at all?

Living with fibromyalgia can feel like you're fighting an invisible battle every single day.

The aching muscles.
The constant fatigue.
The brain fog that makes simple tasks feel overwhelming.
The restless sleep that leaves you exhausted before the day even begins.

Some days, it feels like no one truly understands what you're going through because you "look fine" on the outside.

You may have been told to just push through it...
To exercise more...
To simply manage the symptoms.

But living in constant discomfort isn't the life you imagined.

At Uyayi Acupuncture, we take the time to understand your story. Our treatments are designed to support your body's natural healing processes, calm an overactive nervous system, and help reduce the symptoms that keep you from enjoying life.

Imagine waking up with:
🌿 Less daily pain
🌿 More energy to spend with family and friends
🌿 Better sleep
🌿 A clearer mind
🌿 Hope that tomorrow doesn't have to feel exactly like today

Every journey is different, but you don't have to walk it alone.

If you're ready to explore a personalized approach to fibromyalgia support, we'd love to help.

A stroke may have changed your life... but it doesn't have to define the rest of it. ❤️

If you're living with the lasting effects of a stroke, you know recovery isn't always as simple as "just keep doing therapy."

Maybe you're still experiencing:

🧠 Weakness or stiffness on one side of your body
🚶 Difficulty with balance or walking
✋ Tight muscles that make everyday tasks frustrating
😔 Numbness, tingling, or lingering pain
💬 Trouble with coordination or feeling like your body just won't cooperate the way it used to

It can feel discouraging when progress slows down, even though you're working so hard.

The good news is that your recovery journey doesn't have to stop there.

At Uyayi Acupuncture, we use a personalized approach that may help support your body's natural healing process, improve circulation, calm the nervous system, reduce pain, and help you move with greater comfort. Many people choose acupuncture alongside their existing rehabilitation as part of a comprehensive recovery plan.

Every recovery looks different—but every step forward matters.

Imagine feeling more confident walking through your day...
Moving with less stiffness...
Or simply being able to enjoy more of the activities you love again.

✨ There is still hope. There are still possibilities.

If you're ready to explore another option that may support your recovery, we'd love to listen to your story.

🚭 You've told yourself, "This is my last cigarette"... more times than you can count.

But somehow the cravings return.

Maybe you've tried ni****ne patches.

Maybe you've chewed the gum.
Maybe you've quit for a few days... or even a few months.

Then stress hits.
Life gets busy.
And you're right back where you started.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

Ni****ne addiction isn't just a habit—it's something that can affect both your body and mind. Quitting can bring challenges like:

• Intense cravings
• Irritability and mood changes
• Anxiety or restlessness
• Difficulty concentrating
• Trouble sleeping
• Increased stress
• Feeling discouraged after multiple attempts

The good news?

Many people use acupuncture alongside their quit plan to help manage cravings, reduce stress, and support overall well-being during the quitting process.

At Uyayi Acupuncture, we take a personalized approach because everyone's journey is different. Our goal is to support you through the process so you can build healthier habits with confidence.

Imagine waking up without immediately thinking about your next cigarette.
Imagine breathing easier.
Imagine taking back control of your health—one step at a time.

Your next attempt doesn't have to look like your last.

🎾 Is Tennis Elbow Keeping You From Doing What You Love?

It doesn't matter if you play tennis every weekend or you've never picked up a racquet.

That sharp pain on the outside of your elbow can make everyday tasks feel frustrating.

🎾 Gripping a racquet hurts.
💪 Lifting groceries feels uncomfortable.
☕ Even pouring a cup of coffee or turning a doorknob can trigger pain.

Many people try to push through it, hoping it will eventually go away. But when the same movements continue to irritate the tendons, the pain often lingers—or keeps coming back.

Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is caused by repetitive strain on the tendons that help extend your wrist and fingers. Whether it started from sports, work, or daily activities, it can affect far more than your time on the court.

At Uyayi Acupuncture, we take a personalized approach to helping your body recover by focusing on the root cause of your discomfort.

Our treatments are designed to help:

✔️ Reduce pain and inflammation naturally
✔️ Improve circulation to support tendon healing
✔️ Ease tight muscles in the forearm and upper arm
✔️ Help restore comfortable movement so you can get back to the activities you enjoy

You don't have to accept elbow pain as your new normal.

✨ Imagine shaking hands, carrying groceries, exercising, or playing your favorite sport without that familiar ache holding you back.

Your recovery starts with understanding what's causing the pain—and creating a plan to help your body heal.
