Super foods for Health - Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

In Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, food is considered the No. 1 treatment and the first line of defense. 

Food is medicine, it really is.

As a licensed acupuncturist in NYC, my clients often ask me what they should eat for health.

Most people eat 3 meals a day. What you put in your body will keep you afloat or sink your health and energy.

In order to absorb food and nutrients, you need good digestion. The large intestine, small intestine, and Spleen are just a few important organs responsible for food absorption and digestion.

Therapies in our clinic such as ozone therapy, bioresonance, Chinese Herbs, and acupuncture, to name a few can help regulate your digestion.

After doing a little research I decided to put extra virgin olive oil first. Everyone has a bottle of olive oil in their home and it's super easy to use it.
You can take a spoonful of it 3 times a day with food or add it to your salads or food.

I like organic virgin oil from Whole Foods best. It slightly burns your throat after drinking it.

* Strong anti-inflammatory properties

*Helps against Heart Disease

* a Large number of antioxidants

* May help prevent strokes





*** People who use 1/2 a tablespoon of olive oil a day are less likely to die from heart disease, cancer,  Alzheimer's, and lung disease.


Soak garlic in olive oil (drink a tea spoon before meals) to improve your skin, joints, heart, lung, and brain health.



When I was in my acupuncture school, someone asked my teacher who was a Daoist priestess that what the best herb to use for health is.  My teacher answered mushrooms.

Thanksgiving - NYC Acupuncturist veiw on why be thankful?

Thanksgiving is gratitude to me.  

Thanksgiving is about being thankful, and why not be thankful every day? "Have a nice day gets a new meaning."

What have you done to "have a nice day" or a better day today? What are you waiting for?  

It's important to count your blessings as it is very easy to get caught up in daily or life's misfortunes.

thanksgiving NYC
No matter what happens in our lives, there are always good things that are happening. We just need to count and tally them to remind ourselves that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

There is always sun and sometimes rainbows after the rain.

As a licensed acupuncturist in NYC, I often see sick people and sometimes unhappy ones, (the ones who should be happy sometimes, and are not) so I learn from others.

Your brain produces dopamine and endorphins when you think of good things happening in your life. It also motivated you to see good and do good deeds as well as set yourself up for looking and creating favorable experiences for yourself and others.

The best gratitude I ever heard came from "Hurricane" Karter. He was wrongfully imprisoned for a long time.  When he was vindicated and Oprah Winfrey asked him if he was angry after being in jail for 20 or so years, he said no...

"When I open my eyes 99% of my problems are solved". Imagine that. Now that is thankful and that is true Thanksgiving.

I have a file called "count your blessings". On bad days, I write about what good happened to me that day and try to generate good experiences.

I included gratitude and counting my blessings in my daily meditations.  

Anyone can express mental or written gratitude to elevate their spirits, mind and even physical health to a better level. 

It could be something as simple as a kind stranger smiling or bumping into a friend.

To sum up the Thanksgiving holiday, I would like to quote a song called "Count Your Blessings" by Mattel.  "Make yourself at home again, count your blessing 1 to 10".

I am thankful for my parents who supported my ambition to become a licensed acupuncturist and helped me with my first acupuncture clinic in NYC on Union Square.

I am thankful for being alive and being athletic and able to appreciate beautiful things in life!

Late summer belongs to the Spleen and Stomach in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.

Spleen is the most important digestive organ in Chinese medicine.


Digestion is the most important post-natal source of energy ( comes from food absorption).

Worry is associated with spleen and stomach depletion, so it's good to stay in the present and take preemptive actions to reduce worries and stay calm.

acupuncture digestion NYC

Even the best nutritious foods will not get absorbed if the person is stressed and that upsets the. digestive process.
The spleen collects all the energy Qi from nutrition and delivers it to. the body for vitality.

Some of the Spleen Disorders

  • loss of appetite
  • nausea or diarrhea
  • gas or bloating
  • easy bruising
  • hemorrhoids
  • acid reflux
  • daily brain fog 
  • diabetes
  • digestive problems

Foods that benefit your spleen qi (energy) 

  • ginger and mint tea can soothe the stomach and help digestion
  • lentils
  • quinoa
  • oats
  • root vegetables including sweet potato and taro
  • pumpkin and other squash
  • miso soup
  • orange peels (tea)

Weakness of the Spleen is often shown with loose stools and or scallopedtongue edges and lack of appetite

Heart health in NYC with acupuncture, Chinese Herbs and Bioresonance

The heart in acupuncture and Chinese medicine stores the spirit. (Chinese call it Shen,  your mental state).

Summer is the seasonal time for the heart organ.

One can think of the spirit/Shen as peace of mind, intelligence or mental health. Many people may experience restless sleep due to a restless mind.

At our acupuncture clinic in NYC, we had success treating long covid and Lyme heart-related issues as well as irregular heartbeat, arrhythmia, and heart weakness.

acupuncture for heart NYC
Heart and Your Immune System
Poor sleep due to mental stress may lead to the weakening of the immune system, (nervous system, cardiac system, and the whole body vitality) so much needed during covid and delta variant times. 

The heart communicates with the immune system and the rest of the body through cytokines, hormones, and neurotransmitters.

In Chinese Medicine, the heart "communicates" with the kidneys and even has a relationship with the gallbladder.

Kidneys in Asian medicine is the water element and the heart is the fire element. Too much water puts out the fire. That's why swollen legs often is a sign of imbalanced water metabolism

If someone experiences worsening of conditions in the summer it could be related to the circulatory and cardiac systems.

Foods red in color are good for the heart.
Tomatoes, wild salmon, goji berries, beets, red beans, watermelon, and goji berries.

Some of the heart condition manifestations
Insomnia, heart palpitations, tachycardia, irregular heartbeat, and high blood pressure.

*** Therapies like acupuncture, Chinese Herbs and Bioresonance (with homeopathy) may help regulate the heart and its functions 

Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, and Bioresonance therapy can balance many conditions for health including the cardiac system and its related organs with the immune system.









Acupuncture heart health NYC
Laughter is the emotion associated with the heart.

I think of laughter as the body's way sometimes of clearing trapped energy and/or blockages. I always think of the heart's emotion of laughter.

Laughter is the best medicine, they say and your laughter could reveal your spirits also.
*** People who laugh inappropriately and in a strange
Interesting heart facts
* A woman's heart is smaller than a man's and beats faster to compensate for a smaller size. *Your heart beats about 115,000 times each day.
* Your heart pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood.
* Athletes' heart beats much slower than an average person's due to more heart muscle.
* An average heart weighs about 300-350 grams less than one pound)
I hope that you all stay well,
