The words feel good across the tongue. Luckily, they’re not just words. The ingredients are as sexy as they sound. Jasmine, known as the king of flower oils, is extracted from silky …
Consistent Yoga Practice: Flavor for Life
I used to think yoga was stretching. But I also used to think mayonnaise was animal fat in a jar. I had much to learn. Merriam-Webster defines Yoga with a capitol Y as “a Hindu theistic philosophy teaching the suppression of all activity of body, mind, and will in order that the self may realize its distinction from them and …
Water Bottles Are Your Friends
Everyone knows it’s important to drink water. 8 glasses a day, some say. Others say you should take your weight in pounds, divide by two, and drink that many ounces. And others have other opinions.

Acupuncture: Get Out of Your Medicine Cabinet and into Chinese Medicine
Chinese medicine has had a long and difficult history. As early as the 6th century BC, Ye He was making diagnoses based on yin, yang, wind, rain, night, and day.

Here’s one. Here’s another …

Staying Cleansed
This winter Dianne DelReyes, Nutrition Director and LAc, led a three week Detox Cleanse. Maybe you were there. (You brilliant, beautiful person you) Or maybe you were busy still catching up on the more-addictive-than-chocolate-covered-pretzel Twilight series. Or maybe you had your own detoxifying New Years resolution. But then, there was life. Busy, busy life. And then there was Valentine’s Day, …
