3 Ways To Make Yourself Heart-Attack Proof

For many years, researchers have been intrigued by a disturbing pattern: Deadly heart attacks increase during the winter holiday season. It is the gloomiest holiday statistic, but Christmas and New Year’s are on the top list of dangerous days for heart- attack deaths and cardiovascular problems. Meet the newest weapon in the fight against high blood pressure. Research suggests that weekly acupuncture sessions can slash systolic blood pressure by up to 20 points, producing results on par with prescription medications such as ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers. By stimulating a few key acupoints near the elbows and knees, acupuncture releases neurotransmitters that travel to areas of the brain that regulate the cardiovascular system, explains John Longhurst, MD, PhD, a cardiologist and director of the Susan Samueli Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of California, Irvine.
The World Health Organization has also listed Hypertension and one of the diseases, symptoms or conditions for which acupuncture has been proved-through controlled trials-to be an effective treatment.

An Acupuncturist Can Help Keep Your Cold at Bay | The Dr. Oz Show

When I was studying TCM and had worn my body out with working to hard and not taking care of myself, there were those moments when you just knew you were getting sick. Stiff neck, headache, achy joints or the beginnings of a sore throat. I would run to the school and grab any student available to do some ancient immune boosting techniques. Some cupping, a few immune boosting needles, and a home-made herbal soup to chase the cold away. It worked like a charm. I will post the recipe later this week. But if you find yourself getting those ominous first twinges of an oncoming cold or flu, book an appointment with me right away to nip it in the bud. Once the symptoms are more prominent the treatment will still help, but it may take a few days for the pathogen to run its course (a shorter course mind you). Or if you are someone who gets sick more frequently than the average person, or have a time when you really can afford getting sick (like a wedding or large exam) regular acupuncture visits and herbal supplements can boost and change that pattern in your life. Book an appointment with the purple "a" that says "schedule Now" at the top of this page.
