Oceanic Wellness Acupuncture

Happy Spring! Allergy season is upon us! Luckily, acupuncture can help reduce allergy symptoms through its immunomodulating abilities (see Acupuncture and Immunity post), and this can be measured through a decreased need for antihistamines! Also, acupuncture can help reduce stress levels, and stress is known to exacerbate allergy symptoms.... Spring is a time when our livers are naturally detoxing, so assisting them in the process during this season will help you feel healthier in the upcoming year. It’s a great time to eat lots of leafy greens, do some castor oil hot pouch detoxes, hike in the forest and soak in all the green surrounding you and even take some detox supplements to assist your body in the process... I’ll share my favorite gentle detox supplement in my next post! Hope you all are staying safe and sane as we all detox out all the vices that helped us get through the past year!

If you’re seeing an acupuncturist, chances are they’ve ask about your poop. A description of your poop gives us a window into how your organ systems are running. If we alter the flow of energy through your organ systems through acupuncture, your poop will change! We’re aiming for a nice brown well-formed log without undigested particles in it. Not too large and not too thin... just right. We’re also aiming for no gas, distention, bloating, or lethargy with meals. If you’...re experiencing poo problems, an acupuncturist might be the answer you’re looking for! #ibs #irritablebowelsyndrome #acupunctureworks #poop #pooptalk #pottyhumor See more

This is what I took after my second vaccine, and knock-on-wood, I haven’t had any adverse symptoms at all except for a sore arm! I also took NAC and D3 for a week beforehand and continue to take them afterwards. That being said, no matter how much you supplement, you may still not feel well after the vaccine, so be gentle on yourself and give yourself a few days to rest just in case! What I like about these supplements is their focus on all of our detoxing organs, not just th...e liver. Basically, you squirt two half dropper-fulls of each bottle into your water bottle in the morning and sip on it throughout the day. I find myself really craving it and drinking more water when I take these. If you really need the detox, you may have loose stools and break out, so you may want to start with a lower dose and work up. If you’d like to have some on hand, DM me and I’ll add you to my really affordable online dispensary at no cost and no commitment where you will be able to buy them and other supplements at a discounted rate whenever you like!

If you came in the today, you may have noticed this little fellow on the back of my shirt. I didn’t know it was there till my last patient of the day pointed it out to me. It’s a cockroach, drawn by my oldest and taped to my back by my youngest this morning before work. I won’t see her this evening, but I bet wherever she is, she is feeling quite smug and satisfied... #mompreneur #momlife #whatthe #cockroach #workingmama #workingmom #workingmomlife #imsofancy

Who here is a little tense lately? Over time, energy gets stuck in our shoulders and upper backs due to too much time on the computer, carrying backpacks or purses, exercise injuries, and just carrying too heavy a load... Acupuncture relaxes tense muscles and reduces inflammation. Some people describe the feeling as a cool river running down their back. Need a massage? This time, give acupuncture a try! #tryacupuncture #feelssogood #hawaiispa #bigislandbusiness
