Putting Your Best Face Forward with Facial Acupuncture
Facial acupuncture might sound like too much to try (you’re going to put needles in my face?), but it really is beneficial to overall health and wellness. In a cosmetic facial acupuncture practice, the practitioner uses acupuncture points on the body to treat the underlying patterns of disharmony and local face points to address facial symptoms. Facial acupuncture is typically not done as a standalone treatment, rather it works best as part of a whole body approach to wellness. continue reading
Acupuncture, Mental Clarity, Concentration and Focus
My father had a saying,” Measure twice, cut once”. It was his attempt to stay focused, centered and on task to prevent mistakes and frustration when he was creating something.
How many of us today are feeling like we are being pulled in many different directions and doing so many things at once but not feeling like we are doing any of them well? We are multitasking but not happy with the effects it has on the outcomes or on our physical energy.
You may not be aware that acupuncture can help with creating clarity, improving concentration and mental focus. Acupuncture can center your mind and body, and keep you on task.
I bring this up, because it affects all of us. You may have noticed an error in my Mother’s Day gift Certificate email newsletter. I made a typo, a simple mistake…but this is my point. In my attempt to juggle work, home, and life in general, I wasn’t focused completely on the task in front of me. My concentration lapsed for a moment. Can you find the error?
Since I know that acupuncture can help with mental clarity, concentration, keep people centered and on task, I have already scheduled my next follow up appointment for an acupuncture session.
If you want to feel focused, centered, and more efficient give me a call. Feel you need improved concentration and clarity? Acupuncture can help with that!

Health Benefits of Acupuncture and Yoga
The Health Benefits of Acupuncture and Yoga
Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique originating in China over 5000 years ago. It is the process of moving qi (chee) or energy, in the body to decrease pain, facilitate health, wellness, and allow the body to heal itself. Disruption of qi energy is responsible for pain and illness in the body. By using certain acupuncture points, this energy is allowed to move freely and decrease pain and improve health.
The practice of yoga can be traced back to Northern India 5000 years ago. It incorporates body postures, meditation, breathing and relaxation techniques all dedicated to moving prana or energy.
Acupuncture and yoga share the philosophy of connecting the body, mind, and spirit. Through the practice of acupuncture and yoga, you can experience many health benefits.
According to Johns Hopkins Medicine the benefits of acupuncture and yoga include….
*Pain relief, in particular, improving back pain.
*Easing arthritis symptoms.
*Benefiting heart health
*Relaxation for improved sleep
*Increased energy, brighter moods and mental clarity.
*Stress relief
Both and acupuncture and yoga benefit the whole person by enhancing health of multiple body systems and increasing the sense of well-being.

Helping You Through Menopause
Many women, especially in Asian cultures, do not experience the symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, mood swings and fatigue. Some women even experience more energy at menopause. This is because menopause is actually a homeostatic mechanism that slows down the aging process in women. It is designed to conserve energy and blood, as the body can stop expending it on the menstrual cycle and reproduction. It is in this sense that we can think of it as a healthy transition, one just in time to slow down, then stop our reproductive function to conserve our essence and energy to allow us to get the most out of the final season of our lives.
Regular acupuncture can help with all kinds of life transitions, including menopause, and help you cash in on the benefits of those important shifts! Get in ASAP to set up an appropriate treatment plan!
