“Just wanted to let you know that I have definitely noticed a difference in my response to stress this week. With the summer regimen of acupuncture, essential oils, and Lifelong Vitality pack, feelings of being overwhelmed have been replaced with a calm, steady approach. Yesterday, I was involved in an intense discussion about a challenge my team has had much difficulty resolving with mutual agreement. Former feelings of tension and frustration were replaced with a positive, calm, results-oriented attitude. I attribute this to my... [Read more...]
Kids love acupuncture!
Voa, age 3, loves acupuncture! She has nine needles in her body in this picture — they are so small that they are hard to see. Really?! Kids can get acupuncture? Yes!

“A year ago I injured my shoulder so that I could not raise my right arm at the shoulder without pain. I saw my internist who is our gatekeeper to specialist health and he referred me to an orthopedic specialist. The specialist examined me and pretty much diagnosed a condition where a tendon was either tearing or detaching from the bone. This was causing pain each time I lifted my arm above a certain height.

And no hot flashes either! This has changed my life! No headaches... [Read more...]

Through acupuncture and Chinese herbs, my headaches have weakened and nearly disappeared. However, the greatest result was completely unexpected. I have a new natural... [Read more...]
