Is your toddler (or your inner toddler) FREAKING OUT!??!?

Tapping on acupressure points works surprisingly well to take the edge off. In little kids (aged 2-5), we see an immediate 180 degree reversal to calm, just with some quick and gentle tapping of the scalp.

Acupuncture is well known for helping with reducing nausea and vomiting from multiple causes, including motion sickness. This is important to be aware of as conventional medical therapy is not always effective and medications can have serious unwanted side effects.

But how exactly does it work? Here are what studies have shown:

🚗 Acupuncture activates the IRβ-ERK1/2 signaling pathway in the brain- this activates a signaling cascade that alleviates the vomiting reflex.

⛴ Acupuncture also releases endorphins that inhibit the vomiting centers in the brain and act as the bodies natural pain killers.

🛩Acupuncture also regulates the digestive system and can reduce the gastric activity that often accompanies motion sickness.

If you are a loved one suffers from motion sickness call Chiyu Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine today at 720-213-4999 to schedule your initial consultation. We would love to help!

Most people suffering from constipation don't think to run to the acupuncturist for help, however, acupuncture has been shown to have numerous helpful mechanisms by which constipation can be relieved.

These mechanisms include:

🚽 Adjustment of gastrointestinal mobility, increasing it for constipation cases and alternatively decreasing it for diarrhea.

🧠 Regulating the autonomic nervous system, specifically- enhancing vagus nerve activity, the nerve that directly innervates the gut and suppressing the sympathetic nervous system, which shuts down digestion.

🌊 Enhancing blood flow to the digestive system- improving nutrient absorption and waste elimination

🔥Reducing inflammation in the digestive system.

Many clients at Chiyu Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine report improvement in a variety of digestive disorders, including relief from constipation. Call us today at 720-213-4999 to schedule your initial consultation!

Did you know that research has shown acupuncture to be an effective treatment for neuropathy? There are various mechanisms at work that help with this condition:

✅ Acupuncture improves blood flow to the affected area, providing nutrients and oxygen to damaged nerves.

✅ Acupuncture promotes the release of neurotrophic factors which aid in nerve repair by encouraging nerve regeneration, promoting nerve survival, and protecting against further nerve injury.

✅ Acupuncture improves nerve conduction in both sensory and motor nerves.

✅ Acupuncture also helps reduce nerve inflammation via decreasing inflammatory cytokines and regulating immune cells.

If you are struggling with neuropathy of any origin call Chiyu Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine today at 720-213-4999 to schedule your initial consultation!
