Did you know that over 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants are found in newborn babies cord blood?
Acupuncture for low back pain relief
This is the slogan of Dr. Richard Tan, OMD, LAc., arguably one of the most well known acupuncturists in the US.

Intuition is it real?
Have you ever wondered what that sensation of Deja Vu is? Thought about a friend only to have them call you seconds later on the phone? Had a “gut” feeling that something wasn’t quite right?
Bottling for fizzy Kombucha
Once your brew is fermented to your liking, which should take about 7-14 days depending upon the size of your batch. Smaller batches will brew quicker than larger batches. Quart sized mason jars take about a week, a gallon can take up to three weeks. Temperatures will also affect brewing times, when it’s warmer the brew will ferment more quickly.
