As we know this is the season for a range of viral and bacterial infections to flourish, and you may be asking yourself how to keep yourself and loved ones from "catching" any extra friends this season.

The following are all options to stimulate your immune system to either prevent or heal these infections naturally.
Groundhog Day & The Flu
Many of you may have seen the Bill Murray movie, Groundhog Day, where he lives the same day over and over again. Sometimes the winter feels like that movie with cold, snowy and dark days over and over. We all know that winter is always flu season over and over and this year has been no exception.

Point of the Month: Lung 11 (For Prevention)

The best way to prevent colds and flu is to proactively take care of yourself now. Decisions and actions you take today will determine how you feel tomorrow. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are gentle and supportive ways to boost immunity and maintain health. Have you heard the adage, 'an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?' 
LEARN REIKI
Reiki 1 with Rebecca Rice
Saturday, March 30th from 10 AM - 2 PM

We all have the power within us to promote health and self improvement in ourselves and in others. The ability to tap into the unseen life force energy which flows through us and causes us to be alive is inherent in us all. Connecting with the "Life Force Energy" can be a real catalyst for healing. Reiki is the gentle and powerful Japanese energy healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also has the benefits of promoting self-healing.
