I'm trying to get pregnant and I have tried everything, even invitro isn't working...

I've had several people say that to me lately in my practice, as if they hadn't seen all the publicity lately about how great Acupuncture is for Infertility, so I wanted to put more coverage out there for all those couples who still haven't heard.

There are several advantages to using Oriental Medicine as an approach to assist fertility.

The benefits of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in treatment for the infertile couple can be found in early Chinese medical literature dating back to the 11AD. Not only do these techniques assist in regulating the menstrual cycle and invigorating the sperm, but they also serve to enhance the function of the whole body. And nothing so invasive as Invitro, but if you decide to go the Invitro route, their is significant evidence that Acupuncture increases the ability to get pregnant.

Balance is everything!

What is Qi and why do we need it!

Qi...What fuel to use: Original Qi or Fu Qi? In TCM, we are taught that we are born with Original Qi. Original Qi might be compared to our original battery which might be our mineral content, or bone quality / structure. Original Qi is acquired from our parents. If parents are healthy and strong, they produce a health, strong baby. They pass on a good battery or bone quality (Original Qi)   Our goal is to keep all our Original Qi for as long as we are able. Qi gives us energy/fuel to think clearly, for our muscles to contract and relax, support hormones, grow, maintain and restore structures / bones/tendons/ligaments, etc.   We expend Qi (energy/minerals) whenever we move, think, repair or process but we want to use a different type of Qi for that. TCM calls it “Fu Qi” (food qi / food energy).   We think of Original Qi (original battery) as our life span. Food is like the alternator in a car…restoring the original battery. FuQi Fuel or Original Battery? What fuel d

Dandelions ...much more than just a bouquet for Mom!

Image
In most parts of the country, as your lawn greens, it also turns yellow—yellow with dandelions. For such a beautiful flower, dandelions can cause a lot of homeowners dread. But did you know that your lawn’s enemy is your health’s ally? Dandelions are a great source of nutrition, but few people eat them. Dandelions have been a central herb for Traditional Chinese Medicine (or TCM) for thousands of years.   As a kid I loved picking dandelions and make a bouquet for my mom as they popped up in the neighbors grass. We would sneak over, trying not to be noticed, because the neighbor liked to yell at us for being on her lawn LOL. It never stopped me however. Then, later in life I met a family that made dandelion wine! Who knew you could eat them....now I make tea... Native to the Mediterranean, this incredible flower’s medicinal qualities were also known to the ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks. Originally, these groups found dandelions to be beneficial for ailments including fevers,
