Supporting IVF with Dietary Therapy.....Empower Yourself, Health Has to Begin at Home!

Like this link a lot and am a big believer in food being thy medicine first. Does it not make sense to eat cooling fresh food when you feel feverish or hot and warming, nourishing food when you are cold and depleted? And when you feel stuck and stagnant to clean out a bit with really clean, bland lightly cooked or steamed food only? What you do at home empowers you and your health. It often is the jumpstart that when combined with acupuncture and Chinese Medicine works superbly to manifest fertile soil for your fertility. Take advantage of these helpful hints.

Many patients pair IVF treatments with Traditional Chinese Medicine. For those people, it is important to know some general traditional principles to help facil

Root Of Etiological Factors In Spirit

Even though we have etiological factors that create disease, even those factors do not create disease if someone is balanced in spirit.   So as acupuncturists and doctors of Chinese Medicine we always look to spirit first.
How is Qi or energy related to Emotions?
Fear causes Qi to descend often resulting in excessive urination, affecting the kidneys.  Anger causes Qi to rise affecting the head and liver. Worry causes Qi to not move and get stuck or blocked, affecting the spleen.
"Yin and Yang are the dao of the heavens and earth, the grid and net of the ten thousand things, the mother and father of change and transformation, the root and origin of birth and death, the palace hosting the clarity of the shen.  To treat the illness one must search for its root.  And its root is always in spirit."   Su Wen Chapter 5

Baby Landon born May 2013

I love this picture one of my clients shared with me in her slideshow. I was happy to support her through her pregnancy journey with acupuncture and she was so kind to allow me to share it. Her baby boy is adorable and this photo speaks volumes of love, family and parenthood. What a joy!

Treating Injuries with Acupuncture: Reduces Inflamation, & Scar Tissue

Acupuncture works great when you have an injured sprained ankle like mine. Especially when you can treat it right away as I did last night when it occurred. This is an old sprain and I immediately went into protective mode and treated it as I knew this was my 4th time over many years spraining it and the scar tissue is deeply embedded within the connective tissue. i also had to take a look at the emotional connection linked to this injury. Why do I keep hurting myself, what am I sad about or angry about in my life? It forced me to take a look at those things in my life I have not been happy about, as I believe our body talks to us and especially when we do not listen. It will scream out at us to pay attention. For me I know it is making more of a spiritual connection with all that I do in my life and to tie that more in with my career. My spirit is calling me in everyday to connect more with it, to feel more fulfilled....and aren't we all wanting more of this? More joy? It is not just about staying healthy but of making healthy connections, of finding our inner essence in the simple day to day routines. How do we do that without feeling isolated, or unfulfilled. Gangaji would say "do nothing", stop the search, just be and in just being you bring presence to the moment and life unfolds. Tonight oddly enough I am tuning into a webinar on EFT(Emotional Freedom Techniques) by medical doctor Larry Burk author of the book "Let Magic Happen: Adventures in Healing with a Holistic Radiologist" Excited to learn more. It basically is a self care approach to teach my acupuncture clients and myself.

Does Life Purpose Enhance Longevity?

bit.ly

Turning 60 a few weeks back was quite a trip. It’s one of those milestones that prompts reflection as well as plenty of celebration. (My wife, Carrie, is always good about getting me to do that part.) I’ve known for many years that hitting 60 wouldn’t be the bleak event our culture often makes it […...
