CCAHM Message to Communities Impacted by Wildfires

We have all seen the news reports about the devastating wildfires bringing significant damage and destruction in Southern California. On behalf of the CCAHM Executive Committee, we send our concerns and care to the California acupuncture and herbal medicine (AHM) schools and the broader AHM community who may be impacted. Our thoughts are with all of you—your faculty, students, patients, and loved ones—who may be affected by this disaster.

As practitioners and educators of acupuncture and herbal medicine, we understand the vital role you play in restoring balance and wellness in your communities during times of crisis. Whether offering treatments to calm the spirit, herbal formulas to support respiratory health amidst poor air quality, or compassionate care to ease emotional distress, your contributions are invaluable.

We want you to know that the CCAHM Executive Committee, Staff and Member Community stands in solidarity with the schools that are impacted. Please reach out to us to let us know how you are, and if there is anything we can do to to support you or address any needs you may have.

Let us all continue to send collective healing intentions and care to all those impacted by these fires. Together, we embody the principles of balance, resilience, and harmony that are at the heart of our medicine.

On behalf of the CCAHM Executive Committee and Staff
