All About Fish Oil & Omega-3 Fatty Acids

By Sean Michael Hall, L.Ac.

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. I’ve spent years finding the highest quality fish oils on the market, and I’m very proud of the brands and types that I carry. This article will serve as an overview of the benefits of fish oil, address safety concerns, and provide some information about the different varieties I routinely recommend in my practice.

It’s Time for a Spring Cleanse!

By Sean Michael Hall, L.Ac.

Spring is the perfect time of year to aid the body, and especially the liver, in cleansing and detoxification. The cleanse I recommend is very simple and consists of eating a stimulant-free, sugar-free, flour-free, whole foods diet for 10 days. The addition of a liver cleansing drink each morning draws out toxins from the body, and an herbal tea taken throughout the day helps to support the liver and the rest of the body in this process. Happy cleansing! Read more…

Ashwagandha-Goji-Oats…Nighttime Bliss!

By Sean Michael Hall, L.Ac.

Generally speaking, it is true that we don’t want to go to sleep with a full belly. However, for those that feel ungrounded in the evening, or have a propensity towards restless nights, the right food in moderation, a half-hour or hour before bed can really help. 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 Tea…Simply Divine

By Sean Michael Hall, L.Ac.

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.
