Here is a handy guide for treatment frequency. Acupuncture works best “in bulk”, so we encourage you to receive regular treatments. Affordable community clinics make it possible without breaking the bank!

We are seeing lots of upper respiratory issues at the clinic, and in addition to regular acupuncture, there are simple herbal remedies we can use to support our lung system this winter. Here is a helpful post from a local herbalist with some good tips:

This week a lot of people told me "I have a sore throat, sinus congestion and a cough" - sure signs of the beginning of a cold. 😷 What is notable is that the sinuses and the lungs were on the front lines back in November (and Oct '17) during the fires and I believe we're starting to see the longer term effect of the smoke on our bodies. Remember to drink water and tea ☕️ Remember to rest 😴 Remember to dose yourself with lung herbs, like mullein, thyme, nettles, colts foot and plantain and grindelia (preventively or at the first sign, and through the cold). Easy sinus support is a couple drops of eucalyptus essential oil on the hands, then covering your nose and mouth, breathing in - or drops in a bowl of steaming water with a towel over your head. Eat horseradish, or use rosemary and goldenrod internally for more sinus support. I keep Echinacea on my person AT ALL TIMES and she's great for any type of cold, at any point, frequent doses is key! 🤒 Working at the herb shop I feel like I have my hand on the pulse of the city, as each person asks for herbal support I start to see daily, weekly and seasonal trends. 🤧Remember to be gentle with yourself. Take care friends! #herbs #herbalmedicine #selfcare #cold #cough #congestion #herbalurbanpulse ... See MoreSee Less
