Have you ever heard the saying Laughter is the best medicine? When it comes to traditional Chinese medicine, there’s some very interesting truth behind that expression. The heart is King in Acupuncture. It is the pathway in the body that governs all others and according to the TCM philosophy, every pathway also has an associated emotion and tissue. For the heart meridian these are joy and the blood vessels -... Laughter without a doubt, is a joyful experience we all enjoy - and as it turns out, it triggers a series of mechanisms in the body that dilates your blood vessels - this makes it easier for your heart to pump blood around the body and in turn lowers your blood pressure. So.. Take that extra time in your day, and experience the benefits first hand! #acupuncture #acupunctureworks #acupuncturist #laughter #health #femaleentrepreneur

Here are three acupuncture points you can massage to help with sleep. -An Mian ( translates to peaceful sleep!) - put your finger Behind your earlobe and move it towards the back of your head over the bony protrusion right into a dip. It is usually a tender spot. -Yin tang - a lot of people know this spot at the third eye. Located in the area between your eyebrows. -SanYinJiao ( spleen 6) - located on the inner aspect of your legs, about 8 cms above the bony protrusion of your ankle bone in a deep dip. Any questions? Drop me a message. #acupuncture #acupunctureworks #acupuncturist #femaleentrepreneur #hollistic #hollistichealth #naturalmedicine #sleep

Did you know that 1 in 5 Canadians suffer from Chronic pain? As such, many pain-suffers turn to over-the-counter pharmaceutical drugs to treat their pain, despite the potential side-effects and possible toxicity that remain in their bodies. Acupuncture is not only a drug-free alternative, but as a therapy has been proven to be just as effective as most pain medications, according to a published summary of 255 independent clinical studies by the World Health Organization in 2003. If you're feeling frustrated with your pain.. Choose acupuncture it's safe and effective. #acupuncture #acupunctureworks #acupuncturist #smallbusiness #painrelief #femaleentrepreneur #naturalmedicine #hollistichealth

I’m working with the lovely folks at Pure Body Health. If you’re in downtown Victoria, pop in and say hello!

What is Cupping and how does it work? It is a therapy used where cups are placed on the skin. Suction then pulls skin up into the cup and draws blood and fluid into the surrounding tissue. Blood is great at instigating the body’s natural healing response and many famous athletes, such as Michel Phelps, Floyd Mayweather and Alex Naddour are known to have used it.

Cosmetic acupuncture uses the body’s physiology to increase production of collagen, the body’s way to make skin look youthful and clear. Kayla prioritizes improvements to skin elasticity, cellulite and wrinkle reduction, and treatments that minimize scar tissue.
