THOUGHTS

Saying acupuncture doesn’t work because you don’t believe in qi or energy is like saying a spin class doesn’t burn calories because you don’t believe in music.

6 YEAR OLDS KNOW MORE ABOUT ANATOMY THAN YOU PROBABLY DO.

Barnsdall Art is an amazing organization that provides quality art programs that educate children for free or low cost. This project was for first graders in Downtown LA to teach different functions of the digestive system and the importance of good nutrition.

Throw in some felt Kidneys and these kids are basically getting a pre-med degree.

In Case You Were Wondering….

this is how acupuncture works. Probably the most concise and clear explanation for acupuncture- and the most relevant to the Los Angeles lifestyle.

Injury recovery looks like this. Your “bad day” is not a complete and total set back: on the contrary, it is exactly as it is supposed to be.

‘Tis the Season for Poking!

And my favorite time of the year!

I become unusually jolly much to the delight/annoyance of my close loved ones.

What a perfect time to purchase a gift certificate for acupuncture for your loved ones! Shoot me an email to discuss pricing options and packages! russell@pokeacupuncture.com

HEALTH TIPS!

Though it pains me to actually use this blog to give legitimate wellness advice- and not just the usual nonsense running through my Iced Americano’d imagination- I have ONE HEALTH TIPS today!

As winter sort of sets in, a lot of people, myself included, suffer from “winter itch” or xerotic eczema. In addition to using moisturizers and avoiding long hot soaks in the tub and shower (which further dry out the skin), people with winter itch should try taking a daily capsule of tumeric, a common spice found in Middle Eastern cuisine, which has been found to have anti-inflammatory qualities. Tumeric is also reported to relieve nerve pain and aid with psoriasis.

There! Legitimate advice! Now I can resume babbling my way through the holidays.

Let’s Talk About Your Winter Cold

It’s coming. You know it is. But this winter you’ll be prepared. Im happy to report that we are now stocked with a fresh batch of DEFENDER V, a very special herbal formula made by my great teacher, Dr. Changqing Yang.

At the very hint of cold- a scratchy throat, a tight neck, a little fever- I take this and it’s done. You can actually feel the illness leaving your body.

Do not be caught unprepared this winter! If you feel a cold coming, come see me immediately!
