This journey is nothing without networking and connecting with like-minded individuals to be able to learn from and collaborate with. Learning about the natural remedies other cultures use for preventative and treatment of disease is something truly special. Herbin should be a way of life. The key is to start when you are feeling good and healthy, not as soon as you start to feel sick. You still can and the herbs will be effective, but there will be a natural sense of urgency for a quick fix, and if you do not notice anything right away people tend to stop and their mind says it isn't working. Your nervous system is in a state of chaos, and patience is out of reach. We live in a society of instant gratification, and that isn't how this medicine works. Don't wait until your sick to start focusing on your health. Practice preventative self-care daily. It should be a lifestyle not a fix. Herb with me!

📍As a Black woman practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine, I see my work as part of a larger African and global lineage of herbal healing. Many medicinal plants used in Chinese herbal medicine also have counterparts in African and other traditional medical systems, reflecting centuries of trade, cultural exchange, and shared botanical knowledge across the Silk Road and maritime routes. I honor TCM as a highly developed and documented system that helped bring acupuncture and herbal medicine to global visibility, while also recognizing that healing through plants has deep roots in African traditions and in the knowledge of my ancestors. 🌍🇰🇪🇰🇪🌿🌿 👊🏿

Many people are sensitive to needles or feel uneasy about them, and that’s completely okay. You can still experience the profound benefits of acupuncture without the puncture. Discover the power of acupressure and other gentle, noninvasive techniques.

Sunday Funday at the Encanto Festival. Gave me nostalgia growing up attending the Black community festivals in Seattle. So it was a treat to be able to experience this in my birth city. Loved seeingthe Black Small Business Community showing up and out🇬🇳🇿🇦🇰🇪🌍 ***o

My favorite part of the museum is that herbs and indigenous plants as well as homeopathic medicine was used during the

Got to spend some time over the weekend  at the  Beljanski Integrative Medicine Wellness Conference learning about all the alternative and Integrative modalities, tools and resources for Cancer patients. There are a lot of options iut there, and the beautiful thing is they can be used for presentation as well even if you never had a Cancer diagnosis. Although I was sad to see how technology has found a way to replicate acupuncture, I am happy the medical device industry and Integrative health industry are finding convenient ways to bring the treatment to people's homes for them to do on their own or the option to be treated at a Wellness clinic. One thing that I took away is Cancer has an emotional connection to some type of past trauma. Self care is important, prioritize it because when you're healing, you're feeling and you can process certain emotions so they don't get stuck and make you sick.
