March: Brain Injury Awareness Month

March is Brain Injury Awareness Month.
Causes of traumatic brain injury include falls (40.5%) and car accidents (14.3%). If you or someone you love, or know, has had a TBI, Eastern medicine techniques can help restore much more normal brain function. We have special treatments which help immediately.
Even after being rear-ended in a car accident you have had a traumatic brain injury and your focus and mental clarity are less.  The higher the speed of the accident, the greater the loss of memory and cognitive function.  I know this is true not just from the literature but because I was rear-ended myself.
The great news is the degree of change you can experience immediately. Call 319-9711 for an appointment. Even 7 years later, mental function can be greatly improved.

Thank you.

Ways To Ring In The Chinese New Year

ring-in-new-year-01Cleaning

Part of celebrating the Chinese New Year (February 19) involves cleaning. Traditionally, homes are cleaned before the New Year, but sweeping and dusting isn’t done until the third day after New Year out of fear that good fortune will be swept away. The floors can be swept, starting by brushing the dust and dirt towards the middle of the house or building. Once the debris is piled into the center, it’s moved to the corners where it remains until the fifth day, at which point it can be thrown out. continue reading »

They also prefer to avoid being the center of attention – a trait that’s rare among other Chinese zodiacs. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the characteristics of the Year of The Goat. continue reading »

Can Acupuncture Really Help You Lose Weight?

belly-2354_1920-12-29-14Obesity remains a top concern among health professionals in the U.S. According to a study published in the Journal of American Medicine (JAMA), more than one third of adults in the U.S. are clinically obese (source). People who fall under this category are more likely to develop heart disease, diabetes, and even certain types of cancer.

While there’s no substitution for exercise and a well-balanced diet, the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture may promote weight loss in adults battling obesity. Numerous studies have reinforced the belief that acupuncture can aid in weight loss. So instead of embarking on a potentially dangerous “fad” diet, such as an all-liquid lemon detox diet, consider acupuncture treatment to assist in your weight loss efforts.  continue reading »
