Acupuncture is an ancient practice that has become further acknowledged in recent years, but is still a procedure that is not completely understood. Scientific societies are upbeat on the benefits of acupuncture and, by understanding how the method is undertaken, the possible side effects and the outcome, you can determine if this ancient Chinese medical practice is right for you.

Acupuncture is a form of complementary and alternative medicine and involves the technique of inserting thin needles through the skin at certain points on the body to control pain and other symptoms This practice of piercing specific sites on the body, called pathways or meridians, in an attempt to relieve pain associated with some chronic disorder is an ancient Chinese medical system over 5000 years old. Recently revived in China and becoming popular in the West, it deals with subtle energy flows (chi) in the body related to the cosmic principles of Yin and Yang.

I found this wonderful article on the net while researching the negative effects of eating wheat. Wheat has been proven to exacerbate the symptoms of IBS, arthritis and fibromyalgia. Try giving up wheat for a few weeks and watch your symptoms decrease.

Whole Grains vs. Whole Wheat
By: Kim Edmundson, R.N.C.P., R.h.A.

We hear it all the time. Eat more whole grains. What does that really mean? Most people think that eating more whole grains means eating more whole wheat.

It is true that whole wheat is better for you and higher in fiber than bleached white wheat but there is a downside to wheat that many people aren’t familiar with. Wheat in North America is over-produced and highly refined, which leaves it lacking in essential vitamins and minerals. It is often genetically engineered and we don’t know what effects genetically engineered foods have on our body. Wheat is also very high in gluten, which is a protein that our body has a difficult time digesting. It is also proven that wheat (even whole wheat) encourages growth, weight gain and fat formation. Many people have had great success with weight loss by eliminating wheat from their diets.

Castor Oil has been used therapeutically in ancient India, China, Persia, Egypt, Africa, Greece, Rome, the Americas, and in 17th century Europe. This oil is also known as Palma Christi or the “Palm of Christ”. Edgar Cayce mentions castor oil many, many times in his readings.

It is very effective in relieving pain from endometriosis, uterine fibroids and cramps. There are conflicting contra-indication theories on if it is safe to use on cancerous fibroids or masses depending on what website you visit.

I have used castor oil packs for myself for pneumonia, fibroids and severe cramps. In all instances I felt relief.

One of my favorite herbs to recommend for stress and pain is Valerian Root. This amazing herb is so calming. It also helps relieve the pain of uterine fibroids and endo. Because it relaxes the muscles it calms bloating from IBS. It is amazing for menstrual cramps. It is such a wonderful herb to take for PMS. It is also used for insomnia and sleep disorders.

GAIA HERBS and HERBPHARM are the best companies to buy herbs from. They both use only organic herbs in their tinctures. If I use a tincture instead of the capsules I put it in ginger ale so that works quicker in the body. AHHHHH!

CAUTION!!!!!! DO NOT TAKE VALERIAN IF YOU ARE ON ANTI-ANXIETY OR ANTI-DEPRESSANT MEDICATION.

With the recall of pet food this past weekend I wanted to stress the importance of eating only organic and free-range meats for both humans and dogs. I know I recently posted a similar blurb about free-range meats, however the with timing of the pet food disaster I hope that people take notice of their own diets as well.

For a list of the pet foods that were recalled please visit the Four Paws K9 Acupuncture blog fourpawsk9acupuncture.blogspot.com

Uterine fibroids and masses and cysts feed on estrogen. It acts as a fertilizer for them. One way to avoid this, is to eat free-range poultry, meats and eggs. Chicken and other animals are fed hormones such as estrogen to fatten them up. After you eat them the hormones are in your body causing trouble.

You may also notice that you lose weight by eating only free-range meats as these hormones also fatten you up! Free-range meats may cost a bit more, but think of the money you will save on pain relief products. Eat better to feel better.

Triphala

This one of my favorite herbs for constipation and IBS. Triphala is a safe Ayurvedic herb which is used to help repair the intestine. Many women with endometriosis and uterine fibroids also suffer from constipation. Taking nasty purgatives and over the counter laxatives have harsh effects on the body. The body also becomes dependent on them.

According to Dr. Micheal Tierra, L.Ac. ” Triphala, as it is called, is the most popular Ayurvedic herbal formula of India, since it is an effective laxative which also supports the body’s strength. The constitution of vegetarian Hindus cannot tolerate harsh laxatives anymore than vegetarians in other countries. Because of its high nutritional value, Triphala uniquely cleanses and detoxifies at the deepest organic levels without depleting the body’s reserves. This makes it one of the most valuable herbal preparations in the world. “

Uterine fibroids & masses feed on estrogen. Eat only free-range meats, especially chicken since commercial chicken is fed hormones and antibiotics- both which “feed” fibroids and massses. You will also lose weight if you stop eating commercial chicken as the hormones they are fed are used to fatten them up.

Following a diet of more vegetables, whole grains such as brown rice (NOT WHEAT) and organic free-range meats will reduce pain and bleeding within weeks.
