Do you have a tribe? The group of gals above is part of mine. A "tribe" can be family or a group of friends or associates that are there for you in good times and hard ones too. I wrote a newsletter article about the health benefits of community.

Pain can come in so many varieties. Acupuncture can address each of them. There is a point for heat or moxa or cupping for driving cold out. The tickling and crawly feeling is what I experience on my face following the stroke I experienced 3 years ago and is gone after a 15 minute treatment with about 4 or 5 needles! The pins and needles or electric sensations may take a few more treatments to quell, yet they too can be calmed. Give us a call if pain is a bother to you, or book online at: https://flourishinghealth.ca/

Who like pumpkin soup this time of year? It is so supportive to our health in the fall. Check out the recipe below and nourish your immunity in this transition time of year with it.

Hello, my dear friends,

Today, I want to share with you one of my favorite recipes for this time of the year.

This recipe is good for keeping your lungs and large intestines healthy.

Research shows that pumpkin is beneficial for those concerned with blood sugar levels and diabetes. Pumpkins and winter squash nourished the skin, help gastric ulcers, and constipation.

Clove is warming and pungent and relieves abdominal pain and upset stomach. It helps inhibit bad bacteria and fungi.

Ginger is pungent and warm and a tropical plant that originated in China. It warms the abdomen, helps relieve upset stomach and nausea, helps warm the lungs and stop a cough. Its many properties help counteract the common cold and purify the blood.

Sesame seeds have been used for thousands of years for their healing, moisturizing properties.

Garlic is a pungent warming herb that has been growing since ancient times and has powerful antibacterial properties. It not only helps build your immune system, it also helps dilate blood vessels and promotes the movement of Qi.

Onion is also warming and antibacterial and relieves congestion and helps relax muscles, abdominal bloating, and dispersing any chill.

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups of coarsely chopped fresh pumpkin or winter squash
3 cups of organic vegetable or chicken broth
3 cloves of garlic peeled and minced
5 whole cloves
2 inch piece of fresh ginger peeled and minced
1 medium onion peeled and minced
1 tablespoon of raw unfiltered coconut oil
1/2 cup of organic non-gmo plain soymilk or almond milk
2 tablespoons roasted golden brown sesame seeds
1/4 cup of fresh cilantro (Chinese parsley) leaves as garnish

For people who feel nervous or apprehensive about needles, acupressure offers another way to stimulate acupoints without inserting a needle.

In this video, Heather demonstrates how she uses tuning forks for acupressure. The vibration is applied to specific acupoints and, from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, can be used to help move energy through the body.

This gentle, needle-free approach may be an option for people who are sensitive to needles or simply more comfortable without needle insertion.

Curious about the different tools Heather may use during a treatment? We’ll be sharing more in upcoming posts, so stay tuned! 🌿

Changes in weather, routines, daylight, and energy can all affect how we feel. This seasonal shift can be a good time to check in with your body and give it a little extra support, whether you’ve been dealing with pain, stress, sleep or digestive concerns, or just haven’t been feeling quite like yourself.

And a little reminder as we move toward the end of the year: if you have extended health benefits, insurance coverage, or a Health Spending Account, now is a good time to check what you have available.
