Walnuts for fertility!
Hello again!
One of my favorite foods for boosting fertility and strengthening the body are walnuts. In Chinese medicine, walnuts are one of the best foods for profoundly strengthening the body at its core. If you're trying to get pregnant, walnuts are very nourishing food capable of building your body so it will be ready for the demands of growing a baby. Plus, they also really taste good!
Have you ever noticed that walnuts look like tiny brains? They do! Chinese medicine teaches us that walnuts are chock full of good things to make us smart. So, grab a handful of walnuts next time you sit down to do your crossword!
Here is one of my favorite recipes for candied walnuts - I never measure anything, so you may have to tinker with the measurements a bit...
Candied walnuts (yum, yum, yum!)
1 c walnuts
3-4 Tbsp peanut oil
1-2 tsp soy sauce
1/4-1/3 c maple syrup
1/8-1/4 tsp spice (cayenne, cinnamon, nutmeg, whatever you'd like)
1) Heat walnuts and oil on medium hight heat in a saucepan or skillet until browned.
2) Add maple syrup, soy sauce and spice (if desired) to coat walnuts and heat until boiling. (usually this will happen very quickly)
3) Stir maple syrup until you notice fine threads forming when you lift your spoon from the syrup.
4) Let it cool in the pan.
5) Remove from pan when cool. Store in an airtight container.
You can eat these walnuts as a snack or add to salads (my favorite). Here's my favorite salad..
Beet & Goat Cheese salad
You can determine the proportions yourself. This salad is so delicious, and very, very good for you. Still one of my favorite treats!
Enjoy!

Beet & Goat Cheese salad
- Mesclun greens
- Cooked beets, sliced (I like to boil up a bunch on the weekends, peel after they've cooked and keep them on hand to use throughout the week)
- Thinly sliced red onion
- Candied walnuts (yum!)
- Goat cheese (Cypress Groves makes a lavender infused cheese called 'Purple Haze' which is spectacular in this salad!!!)
- Simple balsamic vinaigrette (balsamic vinegar and olive oil will do)
You can determine the proportions yourself. This salad is so delicious, and very, very good for you. Still one of my favorite treats!

Upcoming Kombucha class!
Hi everyone!
I hope you all had a lovely summer! Now that it's fall and school has started it's cold season again! Ugh.
One of the most effective ways to strengthen your immune system is by having a healthy gut. Kombucha and other fermented foods play an essential part in establishing and maintaining a healthy colony of the friendly bacteria we all need.
I am offering a class on how to make your own health giving kombucha on Friday, November 4 from 6-8 pm for only $10! It will be a lot of fun, and one lucky student will go home with her/his very only scoby!
If you are interested, please contact me at the clinic at 612-824-0037. It will be a very small class, so contact me soon to reserve your space!
Peace and Blessings,
Joi

Acupuncture and Herbs can help relieve your allergies!
Hi everyone!
I hope that you are doing well, and enjoying our spring, now that it is finally here!
After the tough winter that we had, it is such a relief to be able to be outside and enjoy all that the outdoors have to offer. If you have spring or any type of seasonal allergies that may get in the way. Don't let that happen!
I have found acupuncture and chinese herbs to be very effective at treating seasonal allergies. These treatments can not only help to relieve the symptoms you're suffering with, but they can also help strengthen the body so that your allergies can decrease and hopefully disappear altogether!
Here's a great article I found on the subject. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,263787,00.html
Have a lovely day, and get outside, the lilacs are waiting!!!
Yours in health,
