Sinus Infections -> Antibiotics 0, Acupuncture 1

Walking out of a doctor's office with a prescription for antibiotics used to be as expectable as walking out of 31 Flavors with a double scoop of ice cream. No longer true. Antibiotics are being used more carefully these days, especially for sinus infections, 98% of which are viral not bacterial. A study in The Archives of Otolaryngology has found that acupuncture, acupressure and dietary changes

Mdm Chou       Age : 42Suffering from skin pigmentation (Melasma & Freckles) for 16 years.

"I am 42 years old, my son goes to high school, realizing he is growing up but I am getting old. My face is not only developing a lot of dark spots and the skin tone become darker.I remember when I was young, my skin is delicate and white, everyone praise me for having a pretty face.
But after getting marry, my face began to appear a little bit of freckles, because I was young at that time, I wasn't really particularly about it, I just buy some pigmentation cream to apply at home, I discontinued after seeing minimum result. At the ages of 30 something, I really don't know what happened to my face. Those spots on my face are getting more and more visible, some area of the skin getting darker than before.

Couple years later, I had tired Intense pulsed light therapy (IPL) for 3 session and the result is worst. My skin become very sensitive, not only the pigmentation couldn't remove but the normal skin area aslo starting to grow new dark spots, my skin become terrible and hopeless. I totally regret for what I did to my skin. After that I refused to do anything to my face for several years. Guess what? , but the pigmentation area gradually become darken until I have to cover it by heavy make up powder.

 

I've heard from my friend who has received Chinese Medicine treatment for her skin pigmentation problem. She introduced me to try Chinese Medicine treatment. I was advised by the Chinese Medicine physician to be very patience because Chinese Medicine is unlike Western medicine. The theory of Chinese Medicine is to treat the inner organs as to restore your health back to the optimum level. In the progress of treating Melasma, freckles or age spots, I have to take 1 to 3 months to see the result.
 

After 1 month, my son noticed my face was very different, he asked," Mum, what did you do for your face? Your skin lighten up!" As for my son compliment, I quickly looked at the mirror, I was so happy because majority of my facial spots were faded.
 

And so another month, you can look at the latest photo of mine, I have a whiter and spot-less face now! My husband praises me for becoming beautiful again!

Is Your Computer a Pain in the Neck? Acupuncture Can Help

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post about how acupuncture can help computer users who suffer from the common problem of carpal tunnel syndrome. Well, unfortunately carpal tunnel is not the only complaint that results from sitting in front of a computer all day so, today I’m going to focus on a pain that is common to many but especially afflicts those who spend countless hours hunched over a

New Study Finds Acupuncture Can Help Stroke Recovery

Here is a brand new finding for acupuncture and the brain!  A Chinese study has reported that acupuncture has been effective in regenerating nerves in the brain following a stroke due to cerebral ischemia (restricted blood flow to the brain). Acupuncture was able to promote more neural stem cells in the brain and aid differentiation of neural stem cells. Learn more here.

And the beat goes on... Pulses and Chinese Medicine

Pulse diagnosis in Traditional Chinese Medicine is unlike other forms of pulse-taking. You have certainly had the experience of going into your doctor’s office and having your heart/pulse rate checked. If the rate, which is normally between 60-90 beats per minute, was too fast, too slow, or irregular, your physician probably spoke to you about it and may have shown some concern. It is different

Skin pigmentation & Patience

In our last article, we discussed the relationship between inner organs health and the appearance of the skin. As we approach the extremely hot weather in South East Asia, it seems appropriate to examine some folk remedies for "liver spots." When treating patients by means of facial acupuncture, one of the perennial questions that pops up in the course of treatment has to do with the discoloration of the skin commonly known as liver spots, and whether one can make them "disappear."

The patient should always be informed that such an improvement in the appearance of the skin is entirely dependent upon good diet, less exposure under sun, quality sleep and good stress management. Part of this process of education includes instilling in patients a sense of responsibility for their lifestyle. Some patient might lack of patience, they might become too easy to get influenced by all kind of skin care products that proven fast result. At the end of the day, they will be very disappointed. 

Alex has a 46 years old lady from Kyrgyzstan who has a goal of treating her freckles, sagging and wrinkled face. From receiving 2 sessions of facial acupuncture in a week. Alex also prescribed weekly Chinese Medicine supplement that custom made for her body type. After one month of combination treatment with cosmetic acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, her face become smooth, firm and also the freckles on her cheeks "disappear" at least 70%.

From this patient's case, she received a great result because she has patience. As a Chinese Medicine physician, Alex loves patients who has patience because if they can follow all the instructions from physician, not only Alex can cure their problems faster, but also can understand more under-lying health related problems from their history.

Patience is very important. When Alex was a kid, my mum always teach us to be a patience person. Not just the Bible teach us to be patience, it is the training and process towards success! Imagine if an obese person can have strong will to exercise at least 3 times per week, and if he still have the patience to continue such an exercise program for 8 weeks.....he definitely can loss at least 3-5 kg!

Acupuncture Enhances the Effectiveness of Standard Therapies

Many people think about coming into my Chicago acupuncture practice just to get an acupuncture treatment.  Very often, that is the answer. Sometimes, it is half the answer.  Acupuncture has been found to be very useful when used in conjunction with other treatments, such as women undergoing fertility treatments or individuals trying to manage pain.  Acupuncture makes those treatments more
