Pins and Needles

Magnolia House Herbal Remedies

First you scolded pup for missing the wee-wee pad. Then you berated the mailman for looking at you funny (oops: lazy eye).

Either it’s PMS — or you’re a straight-up bitch.

Pricks deserve to get pricked. At Magnolia House, a charming new acupuncture and herbal medicine locale, they will.

Aunt Flo, the common cold, acne, stress, or a more serious condition — whatever you suffer, holistic health gurus Claire Mooney and Kristen Hart will cure what ails you (they’re trained in acupuncture, herbal medicine, and nutrition).

In a converted 19th-century apartment, you’ll get a thorough consultation to understand your body’s composition. Then they’ll gently nick you with hair-thin needles. You’ll leave with an herbal formula for your body’s ultimate balance (herbal pills sold on site).

Better yet, it’s affordable.

Period.

Magnolia House, 620 South Oakley Street, at Harrison Street (312-243-1019 or magnoliahousetcm.com).
