Healthy Skin

There are many elements to keeping our skin healthy and vibrant. For instance, are we drinking 1/2 of our body weight in ounces of water daily? Are we eating mostly healthy, organic, whole foods?  Are we sleeping 8 hours each night?  All of these things affect how we feel on the inside and how we look on the outside. However, in our busy culture, many people forget to take time to care for their health. This can show on our faces in the form of wrinkles, dry lackluster skin and blemishes.

Along with healthy lifestyle choices, there is another natural solution that is scientifically proven to reduces wrinkles, calm acne and improve the texture of the skin and it’s called low level light therapy available with CellumaPro.

At Nature’s Wisdom Healing Center- Mary Cetan, patients receive the benefits of the natural low level light therapy from the CellumaPRO.  We are professional sellers of these Class II medical devices and offer them to our patients and customers at a price under the manufacturers suggested retail price.

Acupuncture for Carpal Tunnel

If you’re someone who spends a lot of the day on the computer, or in a job that requires other repetitive motions in your wrists and hands, you might be experiencing pain.  In some cases, repetitive movements of the wrist and fingers, including typing, can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. Characterized by pain in the wrist and hand, carpal tunnel syndrome means the median nerve, which runs from the forearm to the wrist to the hand, has been compressed. This compression causes pain, numbness, tingling and occasional weakness of the wrist, arm and hand.

Conventional medicine treats carpal tunnel syndrome with splints, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and cortisone shots. If drug therapy doesn’t satisfactorily relieve the pain, then surgery is recommended.

Most people who develop wrist pain are given medication and sent to surgery prematurely without being advised to seek out less invasive treatment. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers safe and proven effective treatment. A study conducted by Massachusetts General Hospital demonstrated that patients who received traditional acupuncture and a more modern form, electroacupuncture, for carpal tunnel syndrome had a reduction in pain and a remapping of their brain! Before and after magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) proved that the carpal tunnel related damage to the somatosensory cortex was repaired in participants who received acupuncture. This is amazing! People who received acupuncture actually had the benefit of continued improvement from their carpal tunnel syndrome over time and their ability to function improved, too.  Would you like to be one of these people who have lasting pain relief with out the use of drugs and surgery?

Findings published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal refers to a number of studies using acupuncture to treat carpal tunnel sydrome:

Acupuncture is a safer alternative to NSAIDs, cortisone shots and surgery. Studies confirm acupuncture decreases inflammation and restores function to tight muscles and tendons. Studies show acupuncture eliminating the pain by increasing circulation and restoring function. Acupuncture is cheaper, less invasive and has a much higher probability of providing permanent relief.  Consider utilizing acupuncture to treat carpal tunnel syndrome for yourself and also to recommend to others.

Healthy Eating from Early to Late Summer

Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM is all about balance. In this ancient system, the key to health is to move through the world in such a way that our bodies can remain in homeostasis, in balance. This idea connects to sleep patterns, what we eat and ultimately the flow of Qi, or energy, throughout the body. For that reason, healthy eating in summertime, according to TCM, is all about using cooling foods to balance out how hot it is outside. In other words, we can find homeostasis from the inside out. continue reading »

Extraordinary Vessels – Chong Mai

Most acupuncture points are located on the 12 primary channels that flow along the surface of the body. However, there are eight Extraordinary Vessels that flow more deeply in the body, and are perhaps even more powerful that the 12 primary channels. The Extraordinary Vessels regulate the 12 channels, and are deep lakes of energy, which can feed the 12 primary channels when they are depleted. continue reading »

Extraordinary Vessels – Dai Mai

In addition to the 12 main acupuncture meridians that flow along the surface of the body, there are also deeper channels of energy in the body called the Extraordinary Vessels. You can understand the relationship between the primary acupuncture channels and the Extraordinary Vessels by thinking about what happens when it rains: first, small ditches become full – these are the collateral vessels that break off of the 12 main channels. Next, the reservoirs become full, which are the 12 primary channels. When they are full, they overflow into the Extraordinary Vessels, which are deep and vast lakes of energy within the body. continue reading »
