Getting pregnant can be frustrating when it isn’t happening as easily as planned. There are many reasons you could be dealing with a difficult pregnancy including egg health. There are many factors that play into egg health including blood circulation, stress and hormonal balance. For improving blood and oxygen flow, try to get some sort of exercise whether it is yoga, running or simply going on a brisk walk at least three times a week.

Food, Reciprocity & The Heart ❤ Canned Food Drive Continues …

By Laura | Published January 12, 2016
Cloud 9 Acupuncture has decided to continue to collect Canned Food until Feb. 14th to donate to the Maryland Food Bank.

With Valentine’s Day coming up it got me thinking about The Heart as a symbolic spiritual teaching.

The anatomical heart must simultaneously give and receive at the same time.  If the heart does not receive blood and in the same moment, pump blood back out to our body, we would die.  Reciprocity must continue in order for the almighty heart to function, for us to live and thrive.

As we move into the season of the heart and shifting our awareness to loving others, be sure to love yourself first and always receive nourishment to make up for giving to others all the time.

What feeds your heart?  What nourishes your spirit?  What brings you joy?
Be sure to ask for extra hugs from your sweetie, or from your children.  Spend extra time spoiling your pets with treats or toys and bask in the joy and unconditional love they provide. Take the time to do one of your favorite joyful activities, like singing or dancing to your most loved lyrics, take a workshop on something intriguing or read a new book.  Tend to your physical and emotional health with an acupuncture treatment.  Find ways to bring yourself laughter, lightness and ease.

Thank you for the opportunity to be of service!

Here’s to a balanced, healthy, vibrant and fun season of the heart,

Laura Parks

Blog-img Kidney and Bladder Health & TCM_640The kidney is an especially important organ in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Not only does it flush out the unwanted toxins from our body, but is believed to support the body’s reproductive system as well as regulate the circulation of fluids in the body.

In TCM, the kidney is the source of yin and yang, the cooling and warming energies that keep your body in balance.

When the kidney/bladder system is weak and not functioning properly, this can result in different problems and imbalances throughout the body. continue reading »
