I attended this course at the weekend Cancer Care and Palliative Care Reflexology. Thank you to Majella Fagan at Green Tara College the course was so informative and enjoyable.
Where does the holistic approach fit into Cancer Care and Palliative Care?
1. The individuals are as important as their tumors
2. The quality of life is as important as it’s length
3. Simple natural lifestyle measures sometimes help as much as sophisticated technology
4. The art of healing, the “heart and soul” of medicine, will always have a place alongside the science
5. Cancer isn’t just one illness, it has emotional and physical effects and it’s treatment is unique to each person.
In reflexology we treat the person first in the true holistic sense not the disorder. In oncology reflexology the focus is very much on the person emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically.

Cupping is an ancient Chinese method used to relieve muscle tension, promote blood & lymph circulation, detoxification & healing. A partial vacuum is created in cups placed on the skin either by means of heat or suction. Cupping increases blood circulation to the area where the cups are placed. This can improve overall blood flow and promote cell repair.

Electroacupuncture

Electroacupuncture is an acupuncture technique that, comparatively speaking, has only recently come into use. Some scholars believe electroacupuncture was first used by physicians in France and Italy as far back as the early 1800s. Others attribute its discovery to Japanese scientists in the 1940s who were interested in making bone fractures heal more quickly. Still others claim that electroacupuncture wasn't really developed until 1958, when acupuncturists in China began experimenting with it as a form of pain relief. Whatever the case, electroacupuncture is an increasingly popular form of treatment, and is used by practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine for a wide array of conditions.


What's the difference between electroacupuncture and traditional acupuncture?

Electroacupuncture is quite similar to traditional acupuncture in that the same points are stimulated during treatment. As with traditional acupuncture, needles are inserted on specific points along the body. The needles are then attached to a device that generates continuous electric pulses using small clips. These devices are used to adjust the frequency and intensity of the impulse being delivered, depending on the condition being treated. Electroacupuncture uses two needles at time so that the impulses can pass from one needle to the other. Several pairs of needles can be stimulated simultaneously, usually for no more than 30 minutes at a time.

One advantage of electroacupuncture is that a practitioner does not have to be as precise with the insertion of needles. This is because the current delivered through the needle stimulates a larger area than the needle itself. Another advantage is that electroacupuncture can be employed without using needles. A similar technique called transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, or TENS, uses electrodes that are taped to the surface of the skin instead of being inserted. The advantage of this procedure is that it can be used by people who have a fear of needles or a condition that prohibits them from being needled.

What conditions can electroacupuncture treat?

According to the principles of traditional Chinese medicine, illness is caused when qi does not flow properly throughout the body. Acupuncturists determine whether qi is weak, stagnant or otherwise out of balance, which indicates the points to be stimulated. Electroacupuncture is considered to be especially useful for conditions in which there is an accumulation of qi, such as in chronic pain syndromes, or in cases where the qi is difficult to stimulate.

In the United States, electroacupuncture has been studied for a variety of conditions. It has been effectively used as a form of anesthesia; as a pain reliever for muscle spasms; and a treatment for neurological disorders. Other studies have examined the role of electroacupuncture in treating skin conditions such as acne, renal colic, and acute nausea caused by cancer medications. There is also some evidence that electrical stimulation of acupuncture points activates the endorphin system, which could lower blood pressure and reduce heart disease.

Does electroacupuncture hurt?

Patients may experience a tingling sensation while being treated with electroacupuncture, which is most likely due to the electric current. In most cases, however, the effect produced by the current is subsational; in other words, the tingling sensation will not be felt. Some minor bruising or bleeding may occur, which is the result of a needle hitting small blood vessels.

Are there any risks involved?

Electroacupuncture should not be used on patients who have a history of seizures, epilepsy, heart disease or strokes, or on patients with pacemakers. It should also not be performed on a patient's head or throat, or directly over the heart. Another recommendation is that when needles are being connected to an electric current, the current should not travel across the midline of the body (an imaginary line running from the bridge of the nose to the bellybutton).

Before trying electroacupuncture, patients should make sure to discuss the potential risks and benefits with their practitioner.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupuncture/ Cosmetic Acupuncture is an effective, non-surgical treatment to reduce the signs of aging. It is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine, which involves the insertion of very thin disposable needles just under the skin on the face and body where needed.
This specific insertion will increase the local circulation to the face and stimulate collagen production, which helps fill out fine lines and give firmness to the skin for a healthy, glowing complexion.
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years to treat many conditions and illnesses. The effectiveness of acupuncture has been related to the manipulation of the energy points on the body to balance and to remove blockages in the meridians (energetic pathways), in order to achieve health and to prevent diseases.

Facial Rejuvenating Acupuncture / Cosmetic Acupuncture may take 5 to 10 years off the appearance of your skin. It helps to eliminate fine lines and makes the deeper lines look softer. It also firms and tones the skin to help reduce sagging along the jaw line and drooping eyelids.

Other benefits include:
Improves muscle tone,
Increases circulation
Oxygenates the skin,
Tightens the pores,
Helps reduce acne outbreaks,
Nourishes the skin for a healthy natural more radiant glow,
Brightens the skin to reduce dull complexions,
Minimizes fine lines
Increases collagen production,
Evens facial colour and tone,
Increases lymph circulation,
Leaves skin refreshed and rejuvenated.

A course of Cosmetic Acupuncture is 10-15 treatments, administered once a week for the fastest results, Results may vary for each individual depending on various factors including age, lifestyle habits, genetics, sun damage etc. Visible results will be noticeable after 7to 8 sessions. Results have been shown to last 3 to 5 years.
Each treatment takes 90mins approx (longer for the first consultation) this includes a relaxing facial massage, body points and facial points using very tiny needles.
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a holistic treatment. For centuries, the Chinese have known that beauty radiates from the inside out. If the internal body is nourished and the energy and blood are flowing smoothly, the external body will reveal this radiance.
