Full Moon Fever
Children’s Wellness Day
The full moon’s rising. Cold trouble’s on the way.
Deal with the snotty madness with shonishin at Steady Acupuncture. A Japanese wellness discipline especially for children, it helps treat and prevent colds, flu, asthma, and other ailments with a combination of traditional (but needleless) practice, massage, and herbs.
It’s said to be particularly effective around the full moon, so licensed acupuncturist (and mom) Stephanie Hayman schedules her monthly Children’s Wellness Day to coincide. Appointments for January 21 are being taken now.
Really, it’s nothing to sneeze at.
Steady Acupuncture, 435 North Larchmont Boulevard, between Rosewood Avenue and Beverly Boulevard, Hancock Park (310-923-6075 or steadyacupuncture.com).
