Many Rivers Holistic Medicine

🚲🚲🚲
today i bike commuted for the first time since river was born 💙 usually mine and ‘s schedules are so tight - he will need to leave for work as soon as i get home - i don’t have enough time to bike commute.

this weekend river’s abuelita is staying with us and i enjoyed the total luxury of riding my bicycle to a class on herbal abdominal diagnosis with one of my most loved and revered teachers. riding my bike, feeling my legs, sun on my skin, light sweat on my body, heart and lungs rhythmically expanding and contracting to move blood and oxygen through my body, it was total bliss 🌻

i’m so excited to be reconnecting with my herbal mentor who moved to hawaii two years ago. herbs are a stronger intervention than acupuncture, so i always see what we can achieve together with acupuncture alone. but sometimes a little more help can be really supportive. in these instances, gently palpating your abdomen can communicate so much to me about what is happening in your body and how to help 🤲🏼
