Allergies are seen as a hyper-activity of the immune system.  So its solution always comes in the form of aiding the body in becoming more harmonious with its environment so the protective mechanism, the immune system, isn’t working so hard.  One way we do this is by calming the central nervous system and the second way we do this is by making sure the body’s detoxification systems are moving and working well.

When someone is constantly stressed, the stress hormones of the body have been working overtime.  This has tremendous costs to the body’s systems as whole.  Everyone knows that when you are anxious and nervous – all sensations in your environment seem more intense – car horns, voices, crowds, perfumes, reaction to food, reaction to people.  This includes environmental allergens like pollen and mold.  The calmer your system is, the less you are going to react to all of these things.  Acupuncture is one of the most effectives ways to calm your system as a whole down.

Your body’s three main detoxification filters are your kidneys, your liver, and your large intestine.  When those filters fill up and stop moving – they become toxic.  This toxicity leaches into the bloodstream causing even more strain on the detox system.  This wreaks havoc on the immune system.  One sign that your detoxification systems are strained and need help is acne or skin disturbances.  When these three main filters are not functioning optimally, your body will excrete toxins through the skin.

If this is you, call the office today and let’s get you started back on the road to health.

I have learned that aging has a lot to do with how we digest food which from a western perspective makes so much sense.  We get most of our nutrients from food and water and those nutrients supply our tissues with the energy they need to stay supple and moist.  If we have poor or sluggish digestion, the proper nutrients are not reaching the tissues of our face because the body has to send them elsewhere to keep the organs functioning and healthy.

In the Chinese Meridian system, the major channel of the face is the Stomach channel.  The stomach channel supplies most of the sense organs with energy  – the mouth, the nose and the eyes.  If the digestion is poor, the channel will be empty in some places and blocked off in other places.  It will be difficult for the energy of the channel to fill the facial section with the nourishing energy it needs to keep the musculature and soft tissues toned and tight.

Acupuncture facials are a popular option at my park slope acupuncture practice due to women’s interest in natural alternatives to anti-aging.  Facial rejuvenation acupuncture is so great because along with the facial you will be experiencing a rejuvenating acupuncture treatment as well.  The treatment focuses on the stomach channel of the body – making sure it is moving and flowing with balance and ease.  You will see a difference in your body’s ability to turn food into energy as well as a renewed vibrancy and youthfulness to the tissues of the face.

The facial rejuvenation acupuncture is applied twice a week for 6 weeks and most women report significant changes after the seventh treatment.  Women report an increase in elasticity, improvement to the tone and texture of the skin, a youthful glow and a decrease in stress lines and wrinkles.

Acupuncture is a time tested, natural and safe solution to the problem of aging skin.  It is also a great way to nourish your digestive system and treat yourself to some serious self-care.  Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture is a great way to effectively fight the signs of aging without compromising the health of your body as a whole.

When women come to me for fertility I usually begin with a consultation session.  I choose to do this because every woman’s journey is completely different when it comes to her infertility and it is important for me to know what she has been through up to that point.

I also want to know a detailed health history.  People usually don’t realize this, but imbalance can begin fairly early in life.  We often don’t show signs until years later but I want to know how health was in childhood, how food was viewed in the family home, how emotions were dealt with and if there was a lot of illness.  These things reveal so much about how a woman views herself and how she takes care of herself.  So many women who struggle with infertility have developed a pattern of relating to themselves and the world which is not nourishing and balanced and balance is the most important thing when it comes to getting pregnant.

Acupuncture helps with balance in three ways:

It calms the central nervous system.  The skin is the largest organ and therefore has a great deal of communication with the brain.  When this skin is punctured, as it is in acupuncture, the brain is alerted and endorphins are released.  Endorphins are the body’s own natural morphine.  Therefore the body becomes flooded with chemicals that induce relaxation.  This increases the body’s ability to send blood to all of its organs – including the reproductive organs.

Acupuncture also balances the mentrual cycle.  Many women who have “mystery infertility” have simple imbalances within the fluctuations in their cycles.  Acupuncture can shorten a lengthy cycle, lengthen a too short cycle, smooth out a choppy BBT chart, strengthen a too light flow and thin a blood flow that is full of clots.

Diet is so very important to infertility.  Seeking the help of an acupuncturist can help inform you about which foods to avoid and which foods to increase as well as helping the body transform food into energy that will help the body even itself out.
