Maintaining your health when you can't get acupuncture
It's been a little over three weeks since I had to temporarily suspend appointments, and I miss seeing you and providing your acupuncture treatments.
The first couple of weeks of not being able to treat were hard, but I've also had a lot of time to think about how I can support you while I'm not able to offer acupuncture, and so today I'm excited to share some ways you can get your Chinese-Medicine-fix while abiding by stay-at-home orders.
Herbal Medicine
For many of you, going three weeks without acupuncture is a long time and by now you might be seeing some back-sliding in symptoms. Using Chinese herbs, can be an important way to maintain your health. So make sure you either stay on your formula or let me know if you'd like to try herbs for the first time.
Formula prices vary
$20 herbal consult if you are new to herbs
Shipping fee if formula is mailed
IgG Food Sensitivity Testing
If you've ever wondered if you have some food sensitivities, this might be a good time to get tested. I work with a lab that will mail a test kit directly to your home and all it takes is five blood drops on a test card, which you mail back to them. Once the results are in, they send a full report of what foods you should avoid. Here is a link for an article I wrote about the food sensitivity testing.
$219 per test

The kit also comes with stainless steel tweezers for easy application.
