7 Healthy Tips for Coping with Financial Stress
If you feel stressed just living your life, you’re not alone.
Americans lead stressful lives. Jobs, relationships, health, family obligations, community responsibilities—they all take their toll.
In “Stress in America 2012,” an annual survey by the American Psychology Association, 1 in 5 respondents reported an extreme stress level of 8, 9 or 10 on a 10-point scale! In that same group 69% of respondents reported physical or non-physical symptoms of stress, including irritability or anger, fatigue, feeling overwhelmed or changes in their sleep. No wonder sales of anti-anxiety drugs are on the rise.
The top source of stress according to 69% of the respondents is–money. It is beyond the scope of this brief article, but your attitudes about money have a lot to do with how you value yourself. Forget, for a moment, your net worth. What is your self-worth? continue reading
50 Ways to Leave Your Acupuncturist
I’m a lucky acupuncturist.
I work with wonderful people every day and I get to hear your stories, celebrate when you get well and watch your families grow up.
I always try to think of ways to improve your health but suddenly it occurred to me—there is one way I haven’t yet helped you.
I haven’t given you a definitive guide to staying healthy.

In fact, there must be 50 ways to leave your acupuncturist. (Read more…)
Spring Acupuncture Tips to Keep You Healthy, Happy and Flexible
Spring is a happy time. Flowers emerge in long forgotten corners of your garden. The birds return and sing so loudly they wake you in the morning.
This does not seem like a time to be angry.
But according to the Five Element Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), being angry is exactly what you can expect if you don’t balance your wood element.
In TCM, Spring is represented by the wood element. Wood represents birth and newness like the plants rising from the earth. It is the time for fresh ideas and new starts. Not surprisingly, its color is green like the fresh growth of Spring itself.
Wood governs your spine, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons. A wood imbalance can lead to spinal problems, poor flexibility or arthritis. Wood also governs your eyes and vision.
But, perhaps the most important thing for you to know is how your liver and the wood element govern your moods. Read More…

How to End Seasonal Affective Disorder and Start Loving Winter
Many people feel down as winter approaches. It’s dark. It’s cold. The holidays can be stressful.
But for some people every winter is unbearable. They’re tired and depressed. They don’t want to get out of bed. They snap at their families and binge on junk food.
These people have seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
Our moods and energy levels fluctuate with the seasons. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) understands these cycles but modern life does not. These days, you are expected to be active, productive and creative at all times of the year. There is no accommodation for a slow, quiet winter. According to TCM, this conflict causes stress, which can result in SAD.
