WINTER SOLSTICE - THE COMING OF THE LIGHT
WINTER SOLSTICE marks the turn from Fall into Winter, and in traditions around the world, it is a time for inward reflection and a celebration of the coming of "light." It is both the shortest day of the year, and conversely . . . the longest night. One of the most important Chinese and East Asian festivals is the Winter Solstice Dōngzhì Festival (Chinese: 冬至; pinyin: Dōngzhì; lit. 'winter's extreme') celebrated during the Dongzhi (winter solstice) between December 21 to Dece

Preparing for Labor & Delivery: Start Now, Don't Wait!
There is so much you can do to prepare for labor and delivery that will significantly increase your likelihood of having an optimal birth! Those last few weeks of pregnancy are often full of emotional ups and downs, excitement and anticipation, sometimes anxiety, and more times than not - a bit of physical discomfort as well. Most spend this time preparing for the new baby - gathering diapers, baby cloths, a crib, and thinking through ways to be ready for their soon-to-be new

Oats & Oatmeal - Chinese Medicine Nutrition
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Oats are known for their ability to tonify qi (energy) and blood. They also help to circulate qi and calm the spirit. Ancient Chinese medical texts describe oats as "restorative" to the Lung, Spleen, Stomach, Heart, Large Intestine, and Kidney Organs and Acupuncture Meridians. The flavor of Oats is sweet, and oats are considered to be warm in temperature (i.e. they bring / circulate warmth in the body). Oats are rich in silicon and phosph

Vertigo – A Holistic Approach to Treatment
WHAT IS VERTIGO Vertigo is a type of dizziness where the person feels a spinning or swaying movement, typically accompanied by nausea, sweating and difficulty walking or standing. It is intimately involved in our sense of equilibrium (our sense of balance) and can come on suddenly and without warning. Triggered by head position, Vertigo will most often kick in when a person moves their head suddenly in a certain direction. WHY DOES IT HAPPEN & WHAT CAUSES VERTIGO At Seven Poi

STAYING AT HOME - EASIER SAID THAN DONE . . .
We are 27 days into self-quarantine, and I gotta say, this is tough! Doable, but quite challenging. Flatten the curve . . . social distancing? Hey, I'm totally on-board because I want us all to get back to our lives sooner than later.

PTSD Recovery for Veterans - The
Benefits of NADA's Acupuncture Protocol
MY FATHER WAS A NAVY SEAL I never knew my Father was a Navy Seal . . . not until after his passing, on the day of his memorial almost thirty years later. We all knew he'd served in the Navy, but that was it. He never talked about his service in the Korean War, nor his multiple tours in Vietnam, and he served right up until the very end. In later years, as a civilian, he never made comment on the modern-day wars, such as the Persian Gulf or any of the other international confl
