Oakland Acupuncture Project: Happy Spring Equinox!
Spring Equinox - Thursday March 20th
As spring unfolds, with its gusts of wind, raising temperatures, and increased daylight, it is typical to feel stirred to action. These spring winds not only stoke our burners, but they can also dredge up trouble in the form of allergies, colds, and emotional unrest. Take a moment to read Dawn’s Spring Equinox Blog for some tips about how acupuncture can help!

Point of the Month!
San Jiao 2 - The Chinese name for San Jiao 2 is Yemen, which translates to Fluid Gate. This is a great detox point, and as the name implies it can also help regulate and move fluid throughout the body. When fluid isn’t properly regulated it can show up in many ways such as: inability to regulate body heat, imbalances in hormonal secretions, accumulations and swelling, heat and dryness, inability to go with the flow, feeling awash in thoughts, and hot tempered outbursts to name a few. For more information about this point and to find why Jeff likes to use this point “clear out the gutters”, Check Out Jeff’s Blog.
Sliding Scale FAQ
Patients often ask us for guidance on what to pay in our sliding scale, and we get it, a sliding scale isn’t something most of us come across in our daily life. Our answer though is pretty simple, you decide what you can afford and pay that! We don’t have income guidelines or ask for any income verification. We want our patients to pay based on what they feel is affordable for them, and totally understand that this may change over time. The purpose of the sliding scale is to make sure you can get enough acupuncture to get good results. We want you to feel better and then tell everybody you know that acupuncture works! If you still have any questions about how our sliding scale works, or how/why we offer it, please check out our Sliding Scale FAQ Blog.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
