All about Fibroids

✨ Taking Chinese herbs can be extremely helpful in resolving fibroids
✨ It is important to uncover the root cause to your fibroids growth so that you can resolve the imbalance in your body and find relief
✨ Asian medicine and its diagnostic knowledge is a great way to uncover these root cause imbalances
✨I would say the 3 biggest symptoms of fibroids are painful periods, heavy bleeding and extreme mood changes around your monthly bleed 🩸

Reach out to me if you are in need of relief, there are many resources and I am more than happy to help

There are citrus trees all over San Rafael.

Being from Michigan this is like magic to me. Beautiful high in Vitamin C fruits just floating around all over the city. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

Vitamin C helps keep your skin elastic and appear “younger”

Vitamin C helps your skin heal

Vitamin C helps your cellular structures heal and therefore boosts your immune system. So go find a citrus tree and have a tasty snack!!

Recap from our Lunar New Year celebration! What a great turn out and vibe. Bringing in the year of the wood snake!

Hello! Popping in here to introduce myself again.

Dr. Tara Foster L.Ac DACM

I completed my medical training at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco.

In my spare time I enjoy gardening and exploring all of the waterways and plants that make up the Bay Area.

Fun Fact: In 2019 I built a tiny home basically by myself in Humboldt County. I love making things - from food to the table that you eat on.

50% off for all Firefighters

Do you know someone who is a firefighter? Let them know they can come to get acupuncture for 50% off.

In California our fire fighters are working year round to protect our most valuables. They subject themselves to extremely unhealthy conditions consistently. And with climate change and extreme weather conditions this has become a year long job.

:: Get your glow on with tiny needles ::

Did you know with the facials at Tilia you get a 24k gold neck mask and a collagen peptide chest mask?

My patients are obsessed with how good these feel!

During a facial session you get 30-70 needles in your face. This can help heal acne scars, pigment changes, and brighten dull skin. Acu-facials are like getting a face lift.

I recommend doing a series of 5 - 10 for the best results.

See those crows feet and wrinkles disappear!

Get you glow on with tiny needles

Fresh stained St. John’s Wort tincture. Wildcrafted on my families land in Michigan.

St John’s Wort is a great herb for so many things. I especially like it for people with anxiety that tend towards herpes or cold sore outbreaks when they are stressed out.

St. John’s Wort is extremely effective at helping the liver detoxify poisons, therefore it is not compatible with pharmaceuticals because it can mess with the drug release rate in your system.

Heart health trio

This is a great combo to take if you are dealing with cardiac health issues.

Also look out this week this exact combo with be available in a raffle to raise funds to donate to western North Carolina victims of the Hurricane.
