Testimonials
“Bodhi Acupuncture and Wellness of West Des Moines “twice a week” treatments have relieved me of daily headaches that I have experienced for over 30 years. Thanks John. Paul M. Havnen

I was a “newbie” when I started going to acupuncture at Bodhi, and have to say that I enjoyed the experience greatly. I enjoyed the experience so much that I have been going to John regularly ever since. What made me a consistent patient at Bodhi Acupuncture and Wellness is John’s timeliness, professionalism, and easygoing personality. I highly recommend John and his services.

Once again John at Bodhi Acupuncture and Wellness hit it out of the park as far as my treatment. Earlier in the year, I came to him for tendinitis in my right elbow, he resolved the pain in about 4 treatments or so. I’ve returned for stress treatments and found it to be very effective, plus I sleep better too.

The Benefits of Eating for the Seasons

Restaurants that have revolving seasonal menus have gained in popularity in recent years. The concept of seasonal eating has deep roots. Before the advent of modern agriculture and global trade, people naturally consumed foods that were locally available during specific times of the year.
