Oh friends, this is rough. So many people coming in, complaining of discomfort bc of the smoke: burning eyes, scratchy throats, irritated nasal passages, nausea, headache, cough, insomnia, depression, and anxiety. It's so terrible. It makes me think of the millions of people all over the world who live with this kind of air quality, or worse, every single day with no end in sight. #thisisclimatechange #fires #smoke #globalwarming

This came up in my feed this morning and I really like it. Thanks @whilethereslight ! #ikigai #passion #mission #profession #vocation #acupuncturist

Deep thoughts from Lao Tzu. #wordsaboutwords #meta #chalkboardoracle #quoteaboutquotes

Feeling thankful that it's less smokey in San Francisco today. Also feeling so thankful that we live somewhere that usually has really great air quality and clean water. #sf #cleanair #cleanwater #humanrights #climatechange #imscared

Parlee and I went to the 6th Street Art Walk and we found a five! We also got to see the future location of @pentaclecoffee , two people playing the blues in a laundry mat, a roaming percussion group, and a jazz trio! It's happening for a few more hours, if you're looking for something to do. #sf #werestillhere #sendmefives #tgif

Morning infusion: mullein, nettles, red clover, peppermint, oat straw, jujube, and licorice. I studied Chinese herbs and formulas so I don't know much about the tradition of Western herbal medicine. Most of what I know I learned at the kitchen table of my dear friend, Dori. This morning I think of her as I steep this beautiful medicine. #herbalmedicine #westernherbs #chineseherbs #chosenfamily

We're all always learning. #louisamayalcott #chalkboardoracle

Check out this mullein the amazing herbalist, Elizabeth Howe, just brought us from her garden. Mullein helps support lung health and with all the smoke in the air, my lungs will be thankful for some mullein tea tonight. Elizabeth has a practice in Active Space and treats a variety of conditions. She's a gifted healer and generally wonderful person. I highly recommend her if you're looking for an herbalist. #mullein #lunghealth #herbalmedicine #plantmedicine #sfgrown

Last night I woke up convinced that my home was on fire. (I've survived two apartment fires in my 20+years in SF.) Panicked, I search high and low for the source of the smoke. Smelling all the appliances, looking in the basement, looking in my neighbors' windows, straining to hear smoke detectors, eventually walking around the neighborhood, wide eyed and adrenalized. When I thankfully found nothing, I turned to the internet and found the terrible news of the fires in the North Bay. My search also turned up comments by a lot of people who were worried about their lungs bc of all the smoke and ash in the air. Many people expressed concern for their babies and/elderly loved ones. In Chinese Medicine we use pears to support lung health. Pears are said to moisten and cool the lungs. They nourish Yin and clear heat. It's recommended that we eat one pear a day during dry, hot weather. So there's one little thing you can do to support your lung health today. Sending lots of love and safety to the people and animals in the North Bay. #bayarea #fire #chinesemedicine #herbalmedicine #pear #lunghealth #ptsd

Thanks for the #5 @jocelyn_superstar ! #sendmefives #sfgraffiti
