“You must be completely awake in the present to enjoy the tea. • Only in the awareness of the present, can your hands feel the pleasant warmth of the cup. • Only in the present, can you savor the aroma, taste the sweetness, appreciate the delicacy. • If you are ruminating about the past, or worrying about the future, you will completely miss the experience of enjoying the cup of tea. • You will look down at the cup, and the tea will be gone. • Life is like that. • If you are not fully present, you will look around and it will be gone. • You will have missed the feel, the aroma, the delicacy and beauty of life. • It will seem to be speeding past you. The past is finished. • Learn from it and let it go. • The future is not even here yet. Plan for it, but do not waste your time worrying about it. • Worrying is worthless. • When you stop ruminating about what has already happened, when you stop worrying about what might never happen, then you will be in the present moment. • Then you will begin to experience joy in life.” • Thich Nhat Hanh • • • • • #urbanherbs #acupuncture #qotd #tea #beinthepresent #chineseherbs #chinesemedicine #vailcolorado #tcm #acupuncturist #wordstoliveby #plantpowered #plantmagic #liveinspired #peace #innerpeace #cupoftea #looseleaf #nutrition #healthyvibes
Mmm.... if only we had smell-o-vision. This yummy herb is Tao Ren, better known as Peach 🍑 kernels. They smell sweet as can be and are known to break up blood stasis, moisten the intestines, and unblock the bowels. • @moyabodycare told us that poor bowel management lies at the root of many of our health concerns. So if you’re not having perfect poops 💩 (well-formed, banana-shaped, no odor, blood, or undigested food, once or twice a day, without straining) it may be time to consider speaking with a practitioner who might suggest an herbal formula, colon hydrotherapy, or a change in nutrition. • There are so many avenues to take to get to healthy bowel movements. This may just be one of them!
Currently listening to: @Jumakae Your Story Medicine. This incredible series is a summit on moving from trauma to resiliency where Jumakae introduces us to • I N C R E D I B L E P O W E R F U L S T R O N G I N S P I R A T I O N A L W O M E N O F C O L O R. • These women in healthcare are sharing their personal stories of trauma and how they have discovered healing work for themselves and their communities. • In one interview with Nzingah Oniwosan, a Haitian-American holistic health consultant, Nzingah of @yesbabyilikeitraw discusses what self care looks like for an entrepreneur. One of the ideas that stuck with me was that we are NOT independent. We can be incredible, powerful, strong, and inspirational women, healers, and entrepreneurs, while simultaneously leaning on our community, growing from our tribe, empowering other women, and gaining new perspectives daily from the support of others. We are an INTER-dependent species. • I would not be where I am today without my community. Surrounding myself with other successful, confident, and conscious women builds me up, which betters the business, which helps our community heal. Thanks for all the support and thanks @Jumakae for sharing these powerful messages! Give her a follow, folks!!

“The Du Brothers” • Du Huo (up top), Angelica Root, is a Dispel Wind-Dampness herb that is indicated for muscle aches, headaches that manifest at the top of your noggin (vertex), and toothaches. It’s bitter and spicy properties help release the exterior. • Du Zhong (on the bottom), Eucommia Bark, tonifies the Yang. It’s sweet and slightly spicy in nature and goes to the Kidney and Liver. It is indicated to promote circulation and warm cold pathogens in the Kidneys. • They both can be indicated for low back pain, weak and sore muscles, and leg and knee pain. Usually you would choose one or the other. The reason for this is contrary to the typical “if one is good, two is better” American mentality. Chinese medicine can view your low back pain from many perspectives- in this case, if it is from a yang deficiency, you might choose Du Zhong, or if it’s from Wind Damp Bi Syndrome, you might choose Du Huo. • Du not choose the wrong one! 😉
I know Fall began a couple of weeks ago, but October 1st really solidifies it for me. • I’ve been reading a bunch about ending the year on a strong note. It’s so easy to give excuses to this time of year... Halloween is coming, then Thanksgiving, Christmas will be here in no time (read: candy, tryptophan, hiding behind big sweaters). But all is okay, because here comes to New Year and we will get back on track! 🙄 • Not.this.year. • Let’s finish 2018 on a high note. Let’s embrace this final quarter to head into the New Year feeling our best! • Here in the shop we’re letting go of what hasn’t worked well and looking forward to growth, abundance, and balance! • Happy “official-to-us” Fall! What will you let go of now to be your best self?
Nope, it’s not dog food... 🐶 These little guys are Shen Qu, or Medicated Leaven. It’s an interesting herb because it’s one of the only ones in the Chinese Materia Medica that cannot be found in nature. • 🤔 • It is actually a compiled product- consisting of bran, flour, wheat, artemisia, and apricot. It is then covered in hemp paper or mulberry leaves and left to ferment. Then it is dried and cut into these little cubes. • Because of the high concentration of wheat and Vitamin B, it is indicated in treating stomach discomforts like bloating, gas, diarrhea, stomach pain, and gastritis. Studies show that it may even lower cholesterol and promote a healthy appetite. • Give it a try in a food stagnation formula. For you or your pup! 😉
These three beauts from top to bottom are Zhi Shi (unripe bitter orange), Zhi Ban Xia (pinellia rhizome) and Zhu Ru (bamboo shavings). • When combined together they are indicated in treating insomnia, palpitations, and irritability due to phlegm heat. • The cooling and transforming-phlegm nature of these herbs help relieve these accumulations in our bodies and allow our Heart Qi to flow more freely. (Pro tip: that’s pretty much the goal of every treatment- if the Qi flows smoothly, the body works optimally!) • Have you tried this combo? Let us know what you think! 👇
Check out the latest blog post on @steamychick where Keli interviewed me about the integration of #vaginalsteaming in our clinic here in #Vail! • Chinese medicine has a vast history of using fumigation therapies to treat imbalances in the body. Whether using smoke (think: moxibustion) or steam ♨️, ancient Chinese texts refer to formulas, conditions, and treatment protocols revering this practice! • We’re lucky to have a full bulk herbal pharmacy at our fingertips, which allows us the ability to customize steams for each patient. Then, they change into a beautiful gown and enjoy the warmth of the herbal steam on one of our sauna boxes. It is an enriching and nourishing treatment that certainly is creating some buzz around this mountain town! ⛰😲 • Are you curious how you can offer steaming at your clinic? Or even how to go about prescribing steam formulas for your patients? Drop me a line here!👇 I’d love to discuss expanding this practice among acupuncturists. And, of course, the team behind steamy chick and @krisgonzalezacupuncture have so generously shared so much knowledge through their courses (which are even PDA approved 👍)!!! Let’s spread the knowledge and further the #steamysensation!
