Our best shop neighbors, @hyggelife, shared some wellness goodness yesterday after a couple super nourishing and relaxing treatments! • We already tell baaasically everyone who comes in to go check out their space too because it is everything! Maybe a #hyggespa day is in our future?! 🔮 • Can’t help but pinch myself for not throwing a sheepskin on that chair to win some serious hygge style points! 👌🏽 • We’ll be spending today playing with the kiddos and enjoying nature, what about you? How do you hygge? ☕️
These furry little fellas are Xin Yi Hua, also known as Magnolia Flower. This herb is a MUST for treating nasal congestion, blocked passageways, runny nose, and sinus headaches. • It enters the Lung and Stomach and can be combined with Cang Er Zi and Bai Zhi to greatly increase the efficacy in its treatment of sinus concerns. • It’s interesting to note that Magnolia benefits different aspects of the body depending on which part of the plant is used. It’s bark, Huo Po, helps treat food stagnation and chest and abdominal distention and fullness. I really love that the Chinese Materia Medica breaks down different parts of a plant and uses evidential research to study what each section can treat in the human body! • Tell us about your favorite herb family in Chinese Medicine! 🌿
Okay, Rumi! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ (is it just me or does anyone else feel like these emojis are running in the wrong direction? 🤔) Either way, point of the story is T R U S T yourself! You know where you want to go, so get going!
We are so grateful and honored to have been featured in last month’s @theneurobox! Neurobox is a subscription box service designed to optimize your #brain by helping you be more #productive, focused, and energized! • Each month there is a new theme, like Calm, Focus, Oxytocin, and Gratitude. May’s Box was all about M E M O R Y! • Some goodies included to enhance #memory and overall cognitive performance were from: @radiclesnacks @kimerakoffee @drinksynapse @akua.life and of course @urbanherbsco! • Our #smarteapants #tea made a debut to showcase the focus-enhancing and memory-boosting effects of Chinese Herbs! • It was such a pleasure to have shared this #boxsubscription with these other amazing companies! Be sure to #remember (😏😉😂) to check out some of these goodies the next chance you get! And of course, sign up to receive next month’s Neurobox now, or even better gift it to a friend who loves all things 🧠 health! • #Repost @theneurobox Thank you for this lovely picture of the May NeuroBox @matt_oliphant_thrive! • #urbanherbs #acupuncture #chineseherbs #begoodtoyourbrain #neurology #neuroherbology
This hunk of herb 🗯 is Zhang Nao, or Camphor. • Zhang Nao is used in Chinese Medicine as an external application (do not ingest!!) where it invigorates the blood, relieves pain, and opens the orifices. It is indicated for injuries, sprains, and sudden loss of consciousness (it kind of smells like Vick’s!). Despite looking like a snowball, it is actually hot in temperature and spicy in taste (the property of taste, again, please don’t eat this one!!). A little goes a long way! • Did you know that camphor was a Chinese Herb? It’s not all roots and leaves and barks, we also have minerals, some animal products, and seashells in our Materia Medica! Pop on over to your practitioner portal if you need to make an external compress with some Zhang Nao for a patient today! • #urbanherbs #acupuncture #materiamedica #tcm #chineseherbs #chinesemedicine #camphor #sportsmedicine #naturalmedicine #holistichealth #injuryrelief #painrelief #herbshop

Calling all #acupuncturists!!! As you know we sell Chinese herbal medicine packets for at-home #yonisteams and they have been instrumental in the care of so many women’s health concerns for patients across the country. • Have you heard about yoni steams, but are curious to learn more? Is this the first time you’ve seen this ⬆️ beautiful sauna and you’re all like 🤔? Well today’s your lucky day!! • Our friends over at @steamychick aka “all things vaginal steaming” are hosting a FREE webinar for acupuncturists about the act of Fumigation in ancient medicine. If you’re interested in joining, pop on over to their website and register!!! It’s at 11am PST. If you can’t make it, they should be able to send out the information after the live feed. • They’ll be discussing the practice of vaginal steaming and fumigation in Chinese Medicine, the contemporary #gynecological uses of vaginal steaming, smoke vs. steam, herb formulation, and more! I’ve studied with Keli and the @steamychick team and I have to say they have so much knowledge to share on this topic. This class is certainly not one to miss!! • P.S. they recently were approved for continuing education hours for some of their courses for acupuncturists so if you love what they have to say, you can’t go wrong taking more courses from them and getting some coveted CEUs! • Let us know if you need any help registering and we’ll see you there! 💗 • #urbanherbs #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #ancientmedicine #fumigation #herbs #herbshop #steaming #vsteam #womenshealth
This dynamic duo of herbs is Shi Chang Pu ⬅️ and Yuan Zhi ➡️. We often use these herbs together in formulas to help revive memory function. Studies have even shown this combo aids memory in Alzheimer’s patients! • Shi Chang Pu opens the orifices and transforms turbid dampness (think of this like a foggy/soggy brain) and Yuan Zhi clears the orifices and expels phlegm. Do you want to know what makes this combo even better?! They both help C A L M the S P I R I T and nourish the heart! ❤️ • Dui Yao is the term given to pairs of herbs whose benefits are enhanced when used together. “Dui” means two and “Yao” means herbs. You can combine them to work synergistically with one another or complementary, where one has a primary function and the other a secondary function. What’s your favorite Dui Yao pair?? We’d love to hear! 🌿🌱 • #urbanherbs

Hope you all had a great l o n g weekend! We spent ours with family, listening to some blues, eating BBQ, playing in the river, exploring caves, and enjoying some truly spectacular #waterfalls at #riflefallsstatepark! • Back in the #herbshop today filling orders and prepping for the Full Moon! ✨ • It’s always good to be back around these 🌿 but man alive, doesn’t 👆feel so true?! • #urbanherbs #chinesemedicine #herbs #plants #nature #acupuncture #mdw #caseofthemondays #herbscanhelpwiththat
We’re loving this #wildcaught marine collagen from @functionalco and have been adding it to our afternoon tea lately! • Have you heard about this magic?! • According to the team behind this flavorless boost, our bodies naturally make a good amount of collagen up until our mid-twenties at which point it starts to decline. 👇😩 • Adding one or two scoops of this powder to your favorite drink (hot or cold!!) can help supplement your body and in turn, improve the elasticity in your skin, ligaments, discs, and nails! Think about getting the benefits of your #collagen packed #bonebroth fast! It’s helping nourish my entire body, from my digestive tract to my brain! Pretty cool, huh? • #urbanherbs #guthealth #skinhairnails #beauty #lookyounger #feelgreat #dischealth #functionalmedicine #supplement #herbshop
Huang Qi (Astragalus Root) is one of the most commonly used herbs in Chinese Medicine. It’s ability to tonify the Qi and Blood, raise the yang Qi, and boost the protective Qi is one of the reasons it’s so often used in formulas that build your #immunity! • We include this herb in many of our #bonebroth formulas too because we love how it is indicated for lack of appetite and fatigue. What’s your experience been with Huang Qi? These “tongue depressors” are one of nature’s greatest herbs in our opinion! 🌿 • #urbanherbs #chineseherbs #herbshop #chinesemedicine #acupuncture #astragalus #huangqi #qi #herblove
