I do not recommend that people overdo supplements. In fact, in my own practice, I often help patients reduce their supplement regimens, rather than add to them. That said, there are two supplements that I recommend across the board to just about everyone. One is a basic, whole-food based multi-vitamin. The second is a high-quality fish oil. Why? Because a multitude of reliable studies suggest that unless you are supplementing your diet with fish oil, it is very likely that you are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids. At East Bay Acupuncture and Natural Medicine I recommend that everyone take 1 of 6 different varieties of fish oil.

The cleanse I recommend is very simple and consists of eating a stimulant-free, sugar-free, flour-free, whole foods diet for 10 days.

This recipe won’t be right for everyone, but for the yin-deficient, vata-disturbed types out there, it can really do the trick! And it only takes 5 minutes. Quick and easy. Read more…
Tulsi, or Holy Basil, is by far one of my favorite herbs. Its light flavor makes it an ideal tea to sip, hot or cold, throughout the day. The herb is much revered in India, and is known as one of the most sacred plants. It’s energy is considered to be pure Sattva and it is said to open the heart and mind, and clear the aura. Read more…
