Sunday, May 10th is Mother’s Day! Depending on how long our restrictions for physical distancing stay in place, many of may still be unable to spend time with our mom’s that day. And, to top it off, many of the stores we would normally buy gifts from and restaurants we would take our moms to are closed.
As we are re-discovering, our health and the health of those we love is the most important thing we can attend to. I’ve created a few TCM health kit options you can gift your mom this Mother’s Day.
I will mail out the wellness kits and stress-relief kits or you can opt to arrange a pick up from my in Vancouver (possible I can drop it off to your mom, if she’s close enough to me in Vancouver). The pain-relief kits and full package TCM kits will be drop-shipped direct from my supplier to the address you provide. Shipping cost is $14.
***Please order by May 4th so I can make sure to get your order out in time for it to arrive before that weekend.***

Mom’s Stress-Relief Kit
Mom’s do it all. Whether you’re living at home or have flown the coop, mom’s still take care of us and everyone around them. But just because they love to do that doesn’t mean they don’t get stressed too. This kit offers mom easy ways to de-stress and take care of herself. The jade roller is 2-sided (2 sizes) handheld massage tool to improve circulation, improve lymphatic drainage, and calm the nervous system. Strest is an herbal tincture to help calm the nervous system and support the adrenal glands that get overwhelmed by producing stress hormones. Ear seeds are small seeds on stickers that are applied to specific points on the ear to help treat a wide range of health conditions. Provide me with your mom’s email address and I’ll send her a link to a video on how to use the items.

Mom’s Pain-Relief Kit
Arthritis, sports injuries, overuse injuries, car accidents, and chronic health conditions can all lead to pain. When mom can’t get to an acupuncturist, massage therapist, chiropractor, physiotherapist, or other healthcare professional, this kit can help bring her some relief. Have you heard of cupping? Do you remember seeing those marks on Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps? He and many other athletes and their trainers have used cupping as a treatment to relieve pain and tension. Silicone cups offer an at-home way to do cupping therapy. The Chinese herbal massage oil contains herbs to relieve pain and improve local circulation, but this oil is also in this kit so the silicone cups can be moved smoothly over the skin, allowing for a massage-like effect. Note that this kit is easiest to use (especially over the back or hard-to-reach areas) if someone else is available to do the cupping on your mom. Provide me with your mom’s email address and I’ll send her a link to a video on how to use the items.
- Set of 4 silicone cups (value $39.95)
- Chinese herbal massage oil (value $22.95)

Mom’s Full Package TCM Kit
Whether your mom has visited a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner or not, this kit allows me to personalize your mom’s home-treatment kit. With her kit on hand, she can set up her video appointment with me via my website or by calling me to arrange a time. I will do a TCM consultation to find out her health needs and then provide directions on how to treat herself. Press needles are tiny (0.3mm or 0.6mm) needles on stickers that can be worn painlessly for 3-7 days. They are easy to use and a great alternative to in-person real acupuncture. Cupping is a therapy used to stimulate acupressure points, provide massage-like tension release (along with the massage oil), and improve local circulation to relieve pain. Ear seeds are small seeds on stickers that are applied to specific points on the ear to help treat a wide range of health conditions. The bonus for you is that you get a free 30-minute online consultation so I can offer you advice on what things you can do to stay healthy too. Option to gift this to someone else (including your mom as a follow-up consultation), if you like.
