Acupuncture for Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is on Sunday, May 9, this year of 2021. How wonderful to have a day set aside to honor all mothers! HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
The mother energy is yin, and the father energy is yang in the ancient Chinese philosophy of yin-yang. Yin and yang are the idea of opposites. Yin energy is female, soft, and supports function in comparison to yang energy which is male, active, and supports structure. In our modern world, people too often burn their yang without nurturing their yin and end up stressed out with health imbalances.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has at its roots the philosophy of yin and yang. The diagnosis within TCM is based on patterns that are categorized according to the relationship of yin and yang within the body. When the opposite expression of the yin and yang energies within the body interact in a balanced way, good health can be enjoyed. When there is an imbalance of the yin and yang energy, for example too much activity and not enough rest, the body suffers.

Introducing Food to Breast Fed Baby
The time to begin introducing food to your breast fed infant is at month 7.
A couple of great options to consider is organic avacado, add a bit of purified water until consistency is as desired, soft but not too runny. Another nutritious option is egg yolk from the soft yolk center of an organic egg fried in coconut oil, obviously, make sure the temperature is cooled before feeding sweetie pie.
Stay with one of the two options for a week before introducing the other food item.
To support balance in the still developing digestive system of the infant, wait to introduce fruits. Think of vegetables, so many colors. Start with sweet potatoes and all varieties of squash. Again choose organic to get the most nutrition per bite. It is easy to steam or bake the vegetables, and mash or put them in a food processor with a bit water to achieve desired smooth texture. For convenience, you can make extra and put in ice cube trays and freeze. Take out one at a time to use.
Giving the best simple whole food nutrition at the start, sets up the foundation for a healthy relationship to food and best health into the future.
