We tried to get pregnant for two years and we were unsuccessful. I came for acupuncture and was able to get pregnant. Now we have a beautiful little boy.

Before coming to Lotus Acupuncture & Holistic Health Clinic, I had daily nose bleeds (Oslo -Weber), hoarseness of the voice, and a clogged nose. I felt that I had to accept how my health was, it is what it is and that I had to just deal with it.
I noticed that after the 1st week, I had minor improvements, like less hoarseness and clogging. After 4 weeks of treatment, I had fewer nosebleeds- it had reduced from 3 to

I have done both acupuncture and Nutritional Response Testing (NRT). My immune system is stronger, diet on track; which has stabilized my intestinal tract, digestion and alleviated bloating + GERD symptoms. Sleeping has improved and outlook on overall health has improved.

After several weeks of treatment, I feel great! My face gets better and more improved each week. I feel using Acupuncture and Manual Lymphatic Drainage, improved the results of using Nutritional Response Testing. Also writing out the food journals helped me pin point foods that were irritating my body.

Summer Solstice
During the summer solstice your yang energy reaches its peak. It is important to harness the peak of this yang energy, because as summer shifts into fall yang energy will decline. This great abundance of yang energy will translate throughout your body because during this season you are active and growing.
According to five element theory, during the summer the organ that receives extra energy is the heart. When the seasons change so do the organs we should focus on in the body. You should focus on the heart during summer. Feed the heart heart-nourishing foods and make sure to remain active so the heart receives positive energy. continue reading
Heart Afire: The Fire Element
The organs in Chinese medicine are more than just a physical representation. The organs include not only their physiological function, but also their mental, emotional, spiritual and elemental qualities that align with nature and the seasons. Let’s explore the heart.
The heart season is summer, and heart is considered the most yang: hot, bountiful and abundant. Yang is what is bright, moving, outward, hot and loud. Yin is what is more inward, still, dark and cooler. The color of the heart is associated with red, the climate is heat, the flavor is bitter and it’s paired organ is the small intestine (many urinary issues are due to “heart fire” heat descending). The sense aligned with heart is the tongue, and the vessels associated with heart are the tissues. The heart sound is laughing, and the emotion is joy. The heart houses what is known as the shen, which is the mind and spirit. continue reading
Fighting Flu Season with Acupuncture
While the flu is actually not a season, we have become programmed to think of it as the months of November through March. On average, the flu hospitalizes thousands every year, especially the young and elderly. There are also a number of deaths related to the flu, mostly due to people already having compromised immune systems.
The flu, also known as influenza, is a highly contagious respiratory infection that is caused by a number of viruses. To date, there are approximately 26 to 30 different known strains of the flu virus. This is one of the reasons the flu vaccine has only mild efficacy. The flu vaccine itself, typically only covers five to seven strains of the flu. Symptoms of the flu include fever, coughing, a sore throat, fatigue, muscle aches, pains, runny nose and watery eyes. continue reading
