This is the season of the Lung Channel in Chinese Medicine, it is the month of the element that corresponds with the lung, which is metal. As an acupuncture physician this translates as cold and flu season. The Traditional Chinese Medicine healers have long known about cold and flu season!. 
Fall is a time of year when the wind blows more and scatters things up our noses, into our ears and mouths causing pathogens to enter the body more easily. During this time of year there are some simple precautions to take. Always have a small bottle of zinc spray handy for the first sniffle. Just a quick spray and you may avoid a cold altogether.
Yin Qiao San is a very effective formula in Florida due to our warmer temperatures, often with additional herbs to target your individual pattern. Some AP's will also help you to build your immune system through needle treatment and Herbal Therapies to invigorate the Lung channel so that it may become your protection from many pathogenic influences.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has some strong treatments for viral and bacterial attacks, so it's time to make an appointment!  Let your Acupuncture Physician guide you to a happier, healthier you!

Dr. Kathy here! The clinic has been reminding me this week, just how many of us suffer actual physical illness from stress. Stress puts everything out of balance which is a prescription for trouble within the body. So how can Acupuncture help? I have listened to many patients remark about the peaceful feeling they get as a benefit of being treated with needles and herbal formulas. There is something to that! In a 2017 science daily article, stress was blamed for organ dysfunction in the stomach causing neuro-centers of the brain to misfire and possibly cause fatal Heart failure. 
This is just one of many studies seeing a significant relationship between stress and organs.

I am happy to announce a new program being generated for Florida Medicaid recipients. I have just been accepted to the Florida Sunshine Health program as a provider.

The above article talks about the great results seen with APM style, otherwise known as Traditional Chinese Medicine in many conditions. If you are suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome there are great results for your pathology using Acupuncture and Herbal Therapies. Many times carpal tunnel is the result of years of repetetive motion that degrades the movement of Blood and qi through the vessels of the wrists. Pain often keeps sufferers up and night, the yin time of the day. Deficient yin will keep the sleep from coming. Your local Acupuncture Physician can help you before surgery.
