The fall is here, which is exciting because it means cooler weather, squash, changing colors, sweaters and scarves, and just an overall shift in the general feeling in the air. It’s time to take a deep breath, let go of things we don’t need and gather in the things we do as we head into a quieter and more still part of the year.

It’s also a time when people will start to get the dreaded cold. The sniffly nose, the headaches and body aches, and the fevers are all part of the colder part of the year for most of us. So, I’m interested in preventing the colds, and if I (or anyone I know) does get sick, recovering quickly.

We’re all familiar with the basic tenets of staying healthy: eat well, get enough exercise, but not too much, get enough sleep, laugh a lot; but sometimes life stresses come along and take their toll. Acupuncture can definitely health boost immunity as can certain herbal formulas like Yu Ping Feng San (a.k.a Jade Wind Screen). But another thing I’m experimenting with now are Chinese Medicinal Teas.

This experimentation may be turning into something of a small start-up business… How does “Alimental Herbs  – Nourishing you to Health” sound? More details to come, but for those of you in the New York area, please contact me if you’re interested in trying out some samples.
