We just shared this last month, but it continues to be relevant. Please take care of yourselves - physically, emotionally, spiritually - through these heavy times. #sonomastrong

Santa Rosa Acupuncture and Herbs - Keeping Your Lungs Safe During Wildfire Season
According to #ChineseMedicine theory, #autumn is associated with the Lung organ. It’s a poignant association for those of us that have been stuck inside to avoid smoky air. Sigh.
🍁
Autumn is the time of the year when the hot, chaotic, outward Yang energy of summertime is transitioning to the cold, still, inward Yin energy of the winter. It’s a time to shed your leaves - to let go of that which no longer serves you - so that you can settle in with yourself and your inner thoughts for a peaceful and restful winter.
🍁
So exhale into this opportunity to let go, and to feel that much lighter for it. Happy autumn.
Join Vladi this Wednesday!

We want to hear about your #breastfeeding / #chestfeeding journey!
…
There are so many worthy ways to nourish your #baby! Breast / chestfeeding is just one such example. Some of us are lucky enough to enjoy a magical nourishing connection with our babes through #nursing, and some of us face circumstances that make it more challenging. It’s so important for #parents to talk about our experiences - warts and all - so that we can support each in making the right decisions for ourselves and our #families, and so that we can connect each other with the resources that empower us to achieve our goals.

Happy winter! It’s the most Yin time of year - a time of cold, of austerity, of stillness. The winter season is associated with the Kidney organ in Chinese medicine theory. It’s a great time to be nourishing your Kidneys with bone broth, black sesame seeds, seaweed, fish and black / kidney beans. You also want to make sure you keep your low back and knees covered and warm to help prevent the cold from damaging your Kidney energy.

This year has brought such pain and grief for everyone. Remember that the darkest day of the year is now behind us, and we’ve transitioned from increasing darkness to increasing light. Sunny days are ahead for us all - we just need to find peace with where we are on this journey to a brighter time.
