Playing with some darker colours on this grey Sunday. Love how the matte amethyst, suglite and onyx turned out and the dumortierite, green quartz and labradorite will be a perfect combo for a work colleague #playingwithstones #stonehealing #gems #bracelets #chinesemedicine #amethyst #suglite #onyx #dumortierite #greenquartz #labradorite #wearyourmedicine #rainysunday

Just made this beauty for a dear friend and might have to make another! The combination of smoky quartz and matte black moonstone can help one feel safe during major transitional times in life. The matte black onyx ties this formula all together with solid grounding to promote a sense of security. BONUS - the Swarovski Crystal spacers apply pressure on some strong acupuncture points around the wrist like heart 7, where you can see my button. Great point to help settle the mind as we ease into this long weekend #crystalhealing #chinesemedicine #stoneformula #acupressure #beautifulmedicine #slowingdown #weneedmoreyin #longweekend #vibes #barrie #ontario #canada

Heading into the weekend with some raw labradorite with sweet, spicy flash. Did you know the darkness of labradorite supports a connection with the kidneys which, in Chinese medicine is related to the bones as well as urination. It detoxifies and is good for conditions associated with blood stasis. Good for arthritis, gout, UTI/kidney stones and menopausal signs and symptoms. It can also be used for cold in the uterus, a Chinese pattern that can cause painful or no perio...d, ovarian cysts, blocked Fallopian tubes and even infertility. Hoping to find some time this weekend to play with some new bead stock and see what I come up with. All pre-made bracelets are on sale currently for $20 each. DM me if interested or would like to see whats left #crystalhealingstones #chinesemedicine #labradorite #raw #beenarawweek #selfcare #thisgirllikesrocks #sweetandspicy #warm #arthritis #uti #cramps #kidneystones #buhbye See more

Using tried and true methods to beat this heat! Added some Ju Hua (chrysanthemums) to my sun tea then muddled some Bo He (mint) and poured over ice. I know, I know, Chinese Medicine practitioners always harp about not consuming iced beverages.....but its HoT outside! Stay cool as we head into this weekend #everythingmoderation #chinesemedicine #homeremedies #clearheat #sorefreshing #chrysanthemum #mint #suntea #hotashell #humid #summersinontario #absorbing #yang #barrie #herecomesthestorm

Perfect morning to harvest some more linden flowers. Drying some for tea and maybe more tincture. Linden flowers are great for nervous tension, coughs, flu, headaches and indigestion to name a few #lindenflowers #herbalmedicine #urbanherbs #chinesemedicine #smellssogood #preparedness #mightgogetmore @ Barrie, Ontario

Great information for those trying to conceive. Be mindful of what youre putting in to your body including food, chemicals in cosmetics, lotions and hair care products and plastics.

While the last few months have been stressful, Ive found great solace in crystals and stones among my vast Chinese medicine arsenal. To support #blacklivesmatter Ive designed several variations of a bracelet formula that encourages the wearer to go deep. To begin investigating the deep wounds in hopes of facilitating healing. For those that have reached out inquiring about the bracelets, yes I make them myself. I spend time reviewing the properties of each stone as I wo...uld when putting together an herbal prescription. Ive had many say the energy is palpable from them. Regular bracelets are $30 each or 2 for $55 but the #blm specific bracelets are $20 each with 100% of the proceeds being given to @makingchangesc - you can combine with another bracelet and get 2 for $50.

I am feeling the moonstone labradorite (#3) for fertility and gynaecology #stonemedicine #crystalhealing #chinesemedicine #bracelets #mymeditation #langwellnesscentre #barrie #comingtoclinicsoon @ Barrie, Ontario

What a great first day back! My take aways from the day: we are more resilient and resourceful that we give ourselves credit for; masks are hot, especially on a hot day; scrubs rock and good friends make the world go around #scrublife #scrubletics #fortheloveofpockets #stillfeellikeihaveamaskon #langwellnesscentre #barrie #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #getyourqion #findingmygroove #likeridingabike #20yearsin #stillloveit #blessed

We cant wait to see you so back in clinic soon

This purple fluorite generator/tower is so saturated with colour and full of rainbows! There are many colours of fluorite including clear, yellow, green, blue or this juicy purple. One of the key characteristics of fluorite is its ability to stimulate our defensive or Wei Qi (think immune system) to pull pathogens out of latency to be released to the exterior. Quite timely too as fluorite has played an important role in epidemics. * ... Purple fluorite is a great choice for Shen disturbances including mania, insomnia, hyperactivity or anxiety attacks. It can also help ease grief. * As we prepare to gear up for our return to clinic, let us know if youd like to be added to the wait list for our first few weeks back as they will be as lower capacity. And, if like me youre drawn to these beauties, we can chat #crystalhealing #minerals #stonemedicine #chinesemedicine #fluorite #purple #juicy #langwellnesscentre #smallbusiness #barrie #ontario #wemissyouall See more

Look at the flashy colour on this beautiful labradorite double terminated piece! Labradorite is great for pain: arthritis, gout, kidney stones, headaches, menstrual cramps, UTIs just to name a few of the powerful functions and uses. As we start gearing up for our eventual return to clinic, lets chat about how gems and stones can help on your wellness journey @ Barrie, Ontario

This beauty from @stonehavengemsinternational is natural amazonite that was hand harvested in Colorado and it feels incredible in the hand! Its soft and with such a lustrous sheen, its been near me almost all weekend. * Its uses include: physical aches and pains, allergies brought on by weather changes, anxiety and heart palpitations to headaches from emotional stresses. ... * From an emotional viewpoint, amazonite is said to help one overcome obstacles in life by boosting willpower, for those feeling stuck or paralyzed in life it can help release fear as the root causative factor. I used it this weekend while mediating to facilitate clarity. * Looking forward to receiving the bead shipment to start creating some formulas with these powerful beauties. Interested? Send us a DM

Going in to this long weekend deep in thought after learning this morning of the sudden passing of a TCM colleague and friends young husband. Thankful this beauty from @stonehavengems arrived a few days ago to help realign and find balance. I hope you all find something to help with balance this weekend #longweekend #may24 #looksdifferentthisyear #thatsok #spiritquartz #cactusquartz #stonehavengems #stonemedicine #girllovesrocks #bewell #sayiloveyou #tomorrowsnotpromised #muchlove #barrie #langwellnesscentre

This gorgeous lapis lazuli pendant has been in my collection for over a decade. Sourced from a wonderful crystal and gem shop in Burlington, Vermont while on a spring ski trip, lapis can help clear emotions, calm the Shen and eliminate toxins that cause bone spurs. With all the sports injuries and surgeries Ive had, this stone speaks to me. Good for spasms, joint pain and low back pain. Its also used to treat insomnia, irritability, restlessness, anxiety and depression ...which are becoming so common during these challenging times of isolation. *** Super excited that my first shipment of beads should be arriving soon! I cant wait to start creating and putting together some beautifully healing prescriptions to support our community #langwellnesscentre #chinesemedicine #healingcrystals #gems #supportingeachother #inthistogether #barrie See more

Happy Mothers Day to all the different kinds of mommas #blessed #grateful #momma #mommaanddaughter #greattrip #happymothersday #love

Since my birthday is in February, Ive been drawn to amethyst my whole life. The purple colour is said to be a combination of red and blue, or fire and water. It is believed to strengthen stone combinations focused on Qi or Blood when related to unbalanced emotions. * Amethyst - sweet and slightly warming. Effective for migraines, angry outbursts, weakened immunity, exposure to EMF, hormonal issues includin...g menstrual dysfunction, insomnia, headaches. It can also be used for easy bruising (hello spleen Qi deficiency) and can be indispensable when going through significant life transitions or changing seasons. * Howlite - is spicy, bitter, sweet and is cooling. All things to do with blood including circulation and storage. Conditions include: high cholesterol with hypertension, heart conditions with blood stasis, poor memory, varicosities and even atrophy conditions such as MS or Parkinsons. * Hematite - bitter and cold. Is used when one is in need of deep nourishment, especially if unconditional love was missing in childhood. With a high iron content it can be easily magnetized and as such, it can attract what is wanted/needed to make life complete. * Im loving this deep dive into crystals and gems and am gathering supplies to start creating some beauties to help support people during this difficult time.
