“I feel compelled to write to you about my experience this week with my acupuncturist, Dr. Orest Pelechaty.
Let me give you a little background: Ten days before this week’s visit I had a very bad and unusual asthma attack after which painful bone spurs came up under my right knee and on the back of my right ankle. I went to my Orthopedic doctor who gave me Naprosyn and Oxycontin. My husband spoke to Dr. Pelechaty about my... Read more »“Sore throat is gone! Feels so much better. Thank you, one hundred times. This is incredible!”
I am feeling so much better. I got some energy back and can focus

Holiday Recipes with Essential Oils

Spice up your life this holiday season!
Not only are essential oils powerful tools in the holistic medicine toolbox, but they can take your cooking to a whole new level.
There are three categories of essential oils used in cooking: herbal, spices, and citrus.
1. Herbal
Using herbal essential oils is an excellent way to flavor foods and take the vitality of a dish up a notch! Remember to add the essential oil to foods in the end of cooking, so that it will not boil away. This way the oils keep their vibrancy and have health benefits.
(e.g. Basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, lavender, lemongrass, peppermint, and spearmint.)
2. Spice
These spice oils are quite strong, so it is a good idea to use them sparingly. Only use a drop or two, and remember to taste along the way.
GREAT TIP: Dip a toothpick in the oil bottle and then stir the food with the toothpick. That tiny drop may be all you need to achieve the taste you desire!
(e.g. Black pepper, cinnamon bark, clove, ginger, carrot seed, celery, and dill)
3. Citrus
Citrus oils are invigorating and delicious. Adding zesty drops to guacamole, seafood, dressings, or desserts gives foods delicious zing.
(e.g. orange, lemon, lime, Citrus Fresh, bergamot, and tangerine.)

Summer Solstice
During
the summer solstice your yang energy reaches its peak. It is important to harness the peak of this yang energy, because as summer shifts into fall yang energy will decline. This great abundance of yang energy will translate throughout your body because during this season you are active and growing.
According to five element theory, during the summer the organ that receives extra energy is the heart. When the seasons change so do the organs we should focus on in the body. You should focus on the heart during summer. Feed the heart heart-nourishing foods and make sure to remain active so the heart receives positive energy. continue reading
Fighting Flu Season with Acupuncture
While the flu is actually not a season, we have become programmed to think of it as the months of November through March. On average, the flu hospitalizes thousands every year, especially the young and elderly. There are also a number of deaths related to the flu, mostly due to people already having compromised immune systems.
The flu, also known as influenza, is a highly contagious respiratory infection that is caused by a number of viruses. To date, there are approximately 26 to 30 different known strains of the flu virus. This is one of the reasons the flu vaccine has only mild efficacy. The flu vaccine itself, typically only covers five to seven strains of the flu. Symptoms of the flu include fever, coughing, a sore throat, fatigue, muscle aches, pains, runny nose and watery eyes. continue reading
