Northshore Acupuncture Center is offering stress relief treatments for $19.08 on game days during the NLCS. Schedule an acupuncture appointment before the game, and leave with a red or blue ear seed. The “ear seed” (gold plated pellets with a Swarovski crystal) will be placed on an acupuncture point on the ear that helps manage anxiety. You can press on the crystal when you are feeling anxious during a game. Call 815.814.1319 or schedule a stress relief treatment online.

Do you have a cough or sore throat? Have you noticed your skin issues are more aggravated? Have you felt sad or struggled with change? Your lung channel may be to blame. The transition to fall disrupts our lung channel which can cause some of those symptoms.

The change in seasons places additional demands on our bodies.  The body can have difficulty adapting to the change leaving us vulnerable physically and mentally, and therefore more likely to get sick or depressed.

Acupuncture is recommended at each seasonal change, with a particular emphasis on spring and fall when our bodies have to adapt more dramatically. A seasonal tune up with an acupuncturist can improve overall health by enhancing the body’s immune system to keep illness at bay.  A seasonal treatment can also provide a boost in energy levels, elevated mood and a sense of well-being.

A seasonal acupuncture tune up works in much the same way as getting your car serviced. Your body and mind can also benefit from a quick tune up to help you look and feel your best. In addition to smoothing the seasonal change to fall, an acupuncturist can notice patterns based on minor symptoms and address them before they become a more serious problem.
