The weeks leading up to the Arizona desert bloom bring beauty all over the Valley. For many of us, these warmer temperatures also bring annoying guests; seasonal allergies. Pollen counts in Phoenix are at an all time high and reports will tell you that people with seasonal allergy symptoms won't be catching a break for a while. I'm here to share some advice on natural remedies to tame that runny nose and watery eyes this spring. 

​Take a moment to think about your daily skin care routine. Do you stick to the same products year round, or do you adjust according to the weather? Fall brings changes in humidity and temperature that can result in dry, itchy, and sensitive skin. Learn how to combine a traditional Chinese facial treatment with natural oils to protect and nourish your skin during the cool, dry months. 

​Ever wonder how someone ends up in a profession focused around needles? I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Blake Fletcher, the host of Half Hour Intern, about all things acupuncture. Go on, take a listen! 

​Do you experience seasonal allergies? Do you find yourself getting sick with each season change? Do seasonal changes affect your mood? Learn what foods can help alleviate these symptoms and keep you balanced throughout the spring.

​Here's a question- "how does acupuncture work?"  Sure, acupuncture and Chinese medicine have been around for centuries, but is longevity enough to make you confide in a medical treatment? If you're a skeptic, no...no, it's not. Scientific evidence shows that acupuncture consistently works to provide measurable health improvements, especially in cases of chronic pain.
