Happy New Year everyone!

The New Year
Please remember that small changes (in life) last longer over time than making drastic changes in lifestyle such as with the potentially burdensome annual New Year’s resolution. Set your goals and priorities for the New Year, but make sure they are attainable and have a doable timeline…so you don’t stress yourself out and potentially set yourself up for failure.

I wish everyone financial success and prosperity as well as great health and loving, supportive relationships. Namaste.

FREE Acupuncture & Massage Available
In my quest to “spread the Health” via acupuncture therapy and education, I am offering you the chance to receive complimentary acupuncture lecture with a small group of friends as well as receiving free mini acupuncture and massage sessions. See your 2 options below:

Option 1:
Host a Wellness Lecture at your house with 5-10 guests (who have not received or are interested in acupuncture) and receive one FREE acupuncture treatment. As the hostess, please provide light refreshments while I give a 30-minute Wellness talk on either acupuncture or nutrition.

Option 2:
Host a Wellness Spa Party with 5-10 guests (who have not received or are interested in acupuncture) and everyone receives a 15-minute acupuncture session and/or chair massage. Please call me at (904) 240-5927 to arrange your Wellness Lecture or Spa Party.

One resolution I have made, and try always to keep is this: To rise above the little things.

Dec 2009 Acu Newsletter

Welcome to the Holidays 2009 edition of the Acupuncture Awareness Newsletter. I wish everyone a joyous, fruitful and prosperous holiday season. In observance of the holidays, Mandarin Healing Center will be closed after Monday, December 21st and will reopen on Monday, December 28th.

Seasonal Nutrition
Honor your body by eating seasonally appropriate foods. For the colder months have warm soups, steamed vegetables, baked gourds, simmering stews and choose warming spices such as cinnamon, ginger, clove and cardamom that enliven your food.

In Chinese Medicine: cinnamon raises the yang or upward rising energy as well as promoting good blood circulation. Ginger warms the digestion and helps to transform thin white mucus from colds. Clove warms the digestion, aids the kidneys, and aids with vomiting and diarrhea. Cardamom is a warm, aromatic herb that promotes energy flow, warms the digestion, improves the appetite and helps to awaken the mind.

Holiday Gift Certificates – THE GIFT OF WELLNESS
Give the Gift of Wellness by purchasing a Holiday Gift Certificate or Holiday Wellness Packages for your friends or family members (for use by new patients only). Gift Certificates can be purchased for just $60/treatment. Five sessions are the minimum number of sessions recommended for most cases, so Holiday Packages of 5 sessions are available for just $300 – this is a $75 savings. The above deals are only available for purchase through December 30th. Call Felicia Dyess, A.P. at (904) 240-5927 to purchase your Holiday Gift Certificate or Holiday Wellness Package.

One kind word can warm three winter months.
