So you are on your favorite search engine whether it is Google, Bing or Yahoo and type “Best Acupuncturist near me”.

List of acupuncturists come out. But how do you know which one is best.

While in many ways, choosing an acupuncturist is similar to choosing any health care provider: location, cost, specialty and personal style are all primary considerations, and there is one big difference that you should look for: Compassion.

Acupuncture is a healing art that involves harmony between the acupuncturist and the patient. Your experience from the moment you call for an appointment until you actually meet your acupuncturist should make you feel that you are in good hands.

Receptionists and administrators should greet you and surround you with the love you need to start your healing process. Once you have this warm welcome, you should now meet your acupuncturist that has the passion and compassion to understand your problems, issues and concerns not only for the symptoms you are complaining at the moment but underlying causes for those symptoms.

When entering your acupuncture clinic, make sure to look if the facility is clean, refreshing and relaxing. Surroundings are important part of your treatment.

Acupuncture is not one treatment for all but customized treatment for each patient. So your acupuncturist should take her / his time to create the treatment plan just for your needs.

Weight Loss industry became a multi-billion dollar industry due to increasing awareness of the connection between optimal weight and good health.

However most of the options in weight loss industry comes with many side effects. Surgery, weight loss pills can have significant side effects to patients.

Thankfully, there is a safer option. Acupuncture can help with weight loss. Several studies have shown that acupuncture together with healthy diet habits, patients lose more weight.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the belief is that excessive weight gains are caused mainly by an imbalance in the body due to a malfunction of the spleen and liver organ systems. Licensed acupuncture practitioners will use very specific body areas to trigger weight loss. Among these areas are the endocrine system and kidneys, which are responsible for water retention. This system is also treated to stimulate nerve and hormonal re-balance. The spleen and thyroid gland are also treated to effect sugar and hormonal rebalancing.

Acupuncture and Facial Rejevunation

Acupuncture and Facial Rejevunation

 

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can provide a safe, effective, natural and drug-free approach to reduce signs of aging. A facial rejuvenation using this ancient technique can improve muscle tone of the face and neck while ad- dressing underlying imbalances that may have contributed to the aging process.

A natural alternative to surgery and Botox injections.

In a society where a youthful appearance is worshiped, we have become obsessed with the many tools available for anti-aging. However, many people have discovered a downside to plastic surgery, laser treatments, chemical peels and Botox injections. The side effects include scarring, chronic bruising, nerve damage and lengthy recovery periods. A much better option is cosmetic acupuncture for facial rejuvenation. Acupuncture is safer, less expensive, has virtually no side effects and zero recovery time. People will complete their treatments feeling refreshed and looking younger with smoother complexions and less sagging. The overall benefits of acupuncture include: increased circulation, a stronger immune system, a sense of tranquility and more energy. Now add to this a youthful appearance!

 

How does facial acupuncture work?

The principle of facial rejuvenation acupuncture is that it re balances the body’s motivating energy — Qi (pronounced “chee”). As we mature, the amount of Qi and blood in the skin and underlying facial muscles slowly begins to decrease, causing a loss of nourishment, support and moisture. Focusing on the acupuncture points in the face will increase the flow of blood and energy to the skin in that area.

The needles, inserted very shallowly, bring collagen and elastin to the area, causing the skin to become more supple, elastic and firm. This process hydrates, plumps up and boosts the skin’s supply of nutrients and oxygen, thus decreasing wrinkles and blemishes. The overall result is a more youthful appearance.

What is the treatment timeline?

Cosmetic acupuncture begins with a complete patient evaluation, including stress, diet, lifestyle, sleep, proper digestion and elimination. The following durations of treatment are typically recommended (certain skin types may require more treatments):

Results can be seen as soon as the first treatment, with significant improvements visible by the 5th to 7th treatment. By the end of a series, the patient should look and feel 5-15 years younger.

The results will last 3-5 years, depending on the lifestyle of the patient, and longer with monthly booster treatments. Dietary, supplemental and topical recommendations will be provided to reinforce the program.
