Cleaning
Part of celebrating the Chinese New Year (February 19) involves cleaning. Traditionally, homes are cleaned before the New Year, but sweeping and dusting isn’t done until the third day after New Year out of fear that good fortune will be swept away. The floors can be swept, starting by brushing the dust and dirt towards the middle of the house or building. Once the debris is piled into the center, it’s moved to the corners where it remains until the fifth day, at which point it can be thrown out. continue reading »

2015 is the Year of The Goat in Chinese astrology. Ranking eighth in the long list of animals tied to the Chinese zodiac, people who are born under this sign are said to be calm, mild-mannered, good-hearted, sympathetic, dependable and intelligent. They also prefer to avoid being the center of attention – a trait that’s rare among other Chinese zodiacs. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the characteristics of the Year of The Goat. continue reading »

Obesity remains a top concern among health professionals in the U.S. According to a study published in the Journal of American Medicine (JAMA), more than one third of adults in the U.S. are clinically obese (source). People who fall under this category are more likely to develop heart disease, diabetes, and even certain types of cancer.
While there’s no substitution for exercise and a well-balanced diet, the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture may promote weight loss in adults battling obesity. Numerous studies have reinforced the belief that acupuncture can aid in weight loss. So instead of embarking on a potentially dangerous “fad” diet, such as an all-liquid lemon detox diet, consider acupuncture treatment to assist in your weight loss efforts. continue reading »

Helene Sorkin, L. Ac. and Debi Malone, L. Ac. began a small group specialty Weight Loss Clinic some months ago. It runs on Monday evenings. It has been a wonderful experience for them but especially for the participants! Many of the first group (7 week sign-up) also took advantage of the Weight Loss Yoga Class that happens on Wednesday nights as well. Georgeanna Kavanaugh, LMT and Yoga Therapist is teaching this class. You can tell by the use of the ‘present tense’ that both sessions are on-going.
Most participants in the first group lost 5 pounds the very first week. Fantastic!
Both are ready for a new influx of participants for the New Year. A few people are continuing on so as to further themselves through treatments, the yoga class, the camaradarie and support toward their goals. A weekly email of useful tips also continues along with handouts to give general/specific dietary or lifestyle support. Very reasonably priced as we believe this is a very big boon to better health, the 7 session acupuncture package is $245; the 7 yoga class package is $52. The very first yoga class is free.

Acupuncture is extremely safe. It is a natural, drug-free therapy, yielding no side effects –just feelings of relaxation and well-being. There is little danger of infection from acupuncture needles because they are sterile, used once, and then discarded.
