Happy Blue Moon

We love to use the term “Once in a Blue Moon”, but do we really know what it means?

Thought to be originally coined by Shakespear, it may have been meant as a term that common people will believe anything, even if ridiculous, the Roman clergy could say something such as “the moon is blue”. This later translated to naming rare events as things that happen “once in a blue moon” and then possibly leading to naming a full moon that happens more than once in a month a “Blue Moon.”

I love following the thread back to how things got funny . . .and with that comes our health and wellness.

We were all generally born healthy, then somewhere things got of track . . . . . like summer!!!! Like many of us, we were all exhausted at the end of the school year and sooooo ready for SUMMER!!! Then, summer turned in to a long, endless playdate . . . and now it’s time to get reorganized.

We need to get back to taking care of ourselves which means, getting back on our exercise routine, making better meal plans, implementing regular self-care that should not just happen “ONCE IN A BLUE MOON.”

Now that we all have our kids back in school, it’s time to check off your back to school supplies! Check out my Back to School Package at a VERY discounted price until September 30th!

And with checking off that list of things we need to do for ourselves to stay healthy . . . How are YOU feeling?? Have you booked yourself an Acupuncture, Massage, Pilates, Lifestyle Health and Wellness appointment?

We sometimes let things go so long that we begin to think these are “normal” things that go with aging. While aging and life does come with a lot of changes, they shouldn’t make us miserable. Maybe you need to rethink your lifestyle? Maybe working in some complimentary wellness can help you be your best you! Maybe trying out my Detox Tea with some herbal/ food suggestions and/or Acupuncture or Massage or Pilates would help you get back On Point? If you don’t know what you need, feel free to email us or call and let’s chat about what appointment might be best for you!

**Jackie’s Exciting Journey**

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Baby O’Reilly!!!! Jackie is planning to keep her schedule for the month of September pretty loose so if you are trying to see her, please call, text, or email the office number! We will make a big announcement when she arrives! Jackie will tentatively return the first week of January.

And finally, 3 ways for you and your family to stay healthy with school starting:

Acupuncture- Ren 17 is a great point to tap or press if you are feeling stressed, anxious, or just plan need to breathe! Located right in the center of your breastbone, it’s an easy point to find!
My herbal remedies! Immunity Tincture is a MUST HAVE at home anytime of year!!! And with covid back on the rise and germs everywhere, it’s a great tincture to keep with you when you travel. This tincture is based on the traditional formula “Yu Ping Feng San” or Jade Windscreen which translates to making the strongest shield around your body so that no pathogens/germs can penetrate. More simply put- it’s a great tincture for boosting your immune system.
Your food – This weather has been nuts! And that makes it so hard to meal plan . . .especially if you are trying to eat seasonally! We are at the time when we should be harvesting some of our best veggies, but if your garden is anything like mine, a lot of things are either a bit late to ripen, or are suddenly having a later growing stage. Check out my Kale and Red Beet Salad. It’s a perfect mix of wanting summer foods, but something slightly warm for all this rain and can be a main dish or a side dish!

Kale and Red Beet Salad

Peel 2-3 red beets, halve them, season with olive oil, salt and pepper. Wrap in tin foil and place on the grill for about 30 min or until done.

Slice 1 red onion and sauté in a pan with olive oil, salt and pepper for about 10-15 min. While cooking, devein and chop the beet green tops and one bunch of kale and add to the onions and a little more oil if needed. Cook for another 10-15 min. Place onions and kale on 2-4 plates. Chop cooked beets and place on top of the kale and onions. Sprinkle goat cheese, pepita seeds, and drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and serve with a side of crusty bread

With all of this self care talk, growing, shifting, and changing I want to let you know about what I’m doing for myself!

I finished my Functional Medicine Course and I’m super excited to work with each of you on how you can implement health and wellness into your lives through meal planning, supplements and, of course, herbal remedies!

I’m working with Jenine Camins of @UQmindfulness to organize and further my business goals and get better at social media.

I just had my closet overhauled by my sister-in-law Cara, who is beginning her new business venture @closetsbycarazoe

Immunity

Immunity is based on the traditional formula Yu Ping Feng San which translates to Jade Windscreen. At the time of creating this formula – somewhere around 2,000-4,000 years ago – Jade was the strongest known element. This formula comprised of Fang Fen/ Siler, Huang Qi/Astragalus, and Bai Zhu/ Atractylodes is intended to create a screen of jade around your body to prevent the invasion of any pathogens, viruses, or bacteria can harm you. Take 3 full droppers every day to prevent illness.
