Acupuncture for schizophrenia

There are 2 things I'd like to comment on here. First, acupuncture/Traditional Chinese work for emotional conditions. Second, this study (like many others) demonstrates, for one thing, how the body heals faster with more frequent treatment ...... the once a week acupuncture treatment for chronic conditions may not work. Want to cure your condition or reduce your symptoms, lose weight, prepare for pregnancy? Then, more than once a week may be the answer. http://www.healthcmi.com/index.php/acupuncturist-news-online/419-acupuncturealleviatesschizophrenia

"Take home" needles are the bomb

Acupuncture rocks! My ACL reconstructed knee has been golden for 10 yrs and counting. To keep it working perfectly during this past weekend's soccer tournament (5 games including the finals where we took first place in our division away from the first placed team .... yay!!) I needled it on Saturday PM and put little tiny needles on tape in it for Sunday's play. Today: no knee pain at all, none!

Protect your skin in the sun!

Had a great day playing in a soccer tournament (tomorrow too!) Wore my Mei Zen skin care products, super strength sunscreen, Hauschka day toner, and hat. No sense getting Cosmetic Acupuncture if I don't protect my face, neck, and decolette.

"Martha moves mojo!"

Said by one of my acupuncture clients today .... should I add that to my email signature line?

Mothers need less medication during labor when they use acupuncture

Having to take fewer prescription drugs is a good thing during labor:

Acupuncture insurance coverage

Does your insurance cover acupuncture treatment? I am willing to bill your insurance if they cover Acupuncture. You can fill out one of my insurance verification forms and we can find out. Work for the Fed? Several of those groups cover 26 Acupuncture visits a year!!

Acupuncture increases blood flow to brain

The acupoint mentioned in this study is one of my favorites and one that I use on pretty much 100% of my patients. In fact, when I teach other practitioners I usually mention my favorite Du 20, Du 24 combination and that Du 20 is excellent at managing Yang, not necessarily raising it only. And, I am correct! -- it helps the brain without necessarily raising Yang too much.

Acupuncture treats depression

Many people don't realize that emotional "conditions" like depression and anxiety can be successfully treated with TCM/Acupuncture. I love opening the Spirit level so that my patients can feel their happiness.

PR Web Overview: Denver Acupuncturist Dr. Martha Lucas Conducts Intensive Seminar Sessions for Physicians in Turkey

I was in Turkey last month (for the third year in a row), teaching Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture and Pulse Diagnosis to medical doctors.

Background: A physician from Antalya, Dr. Asuman Kaplan Algin, attended one of my cosmetic acupuncture seminars in the States a few years ago and asked if I would teach Mei Zen™ Cosmetic Acupuncture in Turkey. After the first year of teaching in Turkey, the physicians became interested in also learning my Pulse Balance System of diagnosis. This year, both courses were taught in addition to Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine. The diagnosis course is especially beneficial since proper diagnosis leads to the most effective treatment plan.

Acupuncture is not only for adults.

Acupuncture for colic - quoting Dr. Nithin Jayan:

"The next time your baby has a colic and cries incessantly, try acupuncture instead of medical treatment is the message of a recent study. Minimal acupuncture was found to shorten the duration and reduce the intensity of crying in infants with colic without producing any side effects."

Chronic pain relief

According to this article in the Denver Post, modern medicine is sorely trained to treat chronic pain. And, it seems that many physicians have a more or less "negative" attitude toward patients who suffer from chronic pain.

Enter Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. Acupuncture works!
