Mind Over Matter

Acupuncture Kitchen Opens

Finding a holistic healer who isn’t shady, nutters, or patchouli scented is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Spare yourself the undesirable pricks and trust the team at Acupuncture Kitchen to cure your aches and ailments.

The new Dogpatch wellness center offers an impressive list of services inspired by ancient modalities and rendered by pros. (We chatted with the healed and became total believers.)

With acupuncture happy hours, yoga, massage ($50 for 60 minutes!), and Chinese herbal facials, as well as lesser-known practices like qigong (energy work) and chi nei tsang (belly massage believed to increase fertility), they’ve got you covered head to toe.

Monthly workshops (book clubs, plant walks) and the chocolate elixir packed with herbs put the alternative in alternative medicine.

But that’s the whole point.

Acupuncture Kitchen, 2325 3rd Street, at 20th Street, floor 4r, suite 70 (415-553-5999 or acupuncturekitchen.com).
