Please join us for our fall celebration and open house.  Come enjoy free music, food, chair massage, ear acupuncture, and more!

We want to share our feelings of abundance with you and the general community, which is why we ask that you bring non-perishable food items to donate to the Oregon Food Bank.  We will also be having a fabulous raffle with all proceeds going to the Oregon Food Bank.

Sunday, August 15 is the date of the Hawthorne Street Fair and Vitality Acupuncture will be there as part of the Portland Natural Health booth.  We will be offering free ear acupuncture, free watermelon, a raffle for prizes, and chair massage by donation.  Whew!  That’s a lot!  Please stop by, say hi, and get some refreshments on a hot, sunny day!

We will be located in the parking lot at 41st and Hawthorne.  Can’t wait to see you!

“Sustainable” seems to be a buzzword these days, and it is something that is on our collective mind as we look toward the future.  You don’t often put the words “sustainable” and “healthcare” together in the same sentence, but I have found a way for these words, and more importantly, their meanings, to be together in a complementary way.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine offers an excellent model for sustainable healthcare.  (There I did it; those two words can be used together!)  Let’s count the ways…

1. Acupuncture uses your body’s own resources for healing.
2. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine have supported and sustained the healthcare needs of millions of people over the past 2,500 years.
3. Acupuncture can be safely used as treatment for as long as you want; the cumulative effects of acupuncture continue to be beneficial.
4. Most acupuncturists use lifestyle education as a way to keep your healthcare costs down and allow you to take control of your health.
5. In acupuncture, diagnosis is made by using tools of observation such as feeling the pulse and looking at the tongue, therefore acupuncture can be used anywhere in the world for a wide range of diseases and injuries.
6. The tools of acupuncture are simple and relatively unchanging; this healing tradition has been effective for hundreds of generations.

The 2010 Pickathon will be happening at Pendarvis Farm, just outside of Portland Aug. 6-8 and Vitality Acupuncture will be there offering healthcare that feels good! Please stop by for a glorious treatment, or just to say hi. Acupuncture will be offered in conjunction with the Healing Alliance of The Oasis mobile sauna. Look for the silver Airstream and I’ll be nearby. Can’t wait for great people, good music, and fun times ahead!
