Obesity

Did you know that overweight is one the major concerns of our times? It is linked to Diabetes, Cancer and other chronic diseases as recently stated by the American Cancer Society.

I am so glad we can offer our patients natural methods for weight control using the  Chinese Medicine unique approach, it does not only focuses on the weight loss program but in the person’s well-being as a whole.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which includes Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine,  had better efficacy than placebo and lifestyle interventions and was similar efficacy to anti-obesity drugs, with fewer side effects. Here is the link to the abstract of this systematic review conducted by Yi Sui and colleagues http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-789X.2011.00979.x/abstract published in the May 2012 issue of Obesity Review.

Menstrual cramps?

Do you suffer from menstrual cramps

Have you ever questioned if it is “normal” to have menstrual cramps? I never questioned that, I thought it was the way it should be, except for very few “lucky” girls who were the exception!

Now, after many years of using pharmaceutical products for myself to make my life somewhat manageable during menstrual periods, I found that suffering menstrual pain is not “normal”.

According to Chinese Medicine, whenever an obstruction occurs it manifests itself in pain. That is the basics of acupuncture, where the goal is to facilitate the flow of qi (“chee”) within the body.

It is important that your doctor rules out physical diseases that need medical attention, though such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Pelvic Inflammatory disease, Endometriosis, to mention some. When they are ruled out and you want to try a different approach. I can help you to regulate your menstrual periods to make them more regular, with little or no pain using acupuncture and/or Chinese herbal formulas. If you are afraid of needles, we have other pain-free techniques to use.
