What is Light Therapy?

Light Emitting Diode (LED) phototherapy is the application of light energy to tissue to obtain

therapeutic benefits. The energy is used to improve cellular performance. Phototherapy is

known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties and has a variety of applications across

many medical fields. Research has shown that phototherapy can: increase circulation,

accelerate tissue repair, decrease wrinkles, decrease inflammation, improve skin tone and

wrinkles, texture and clarity, ease muscle and joint pain, stiffness, spasm and arthritis and kill

acne bacteria, and much more. Additional clinical benefits are seen with conditions such as

carpal tunnel syndrome, bursitis, tendonitis, sprains as well as tissue repair in cases such as

ligamentous, tear, torn cartilage and nerve injury.

What is Celluma?

Celluma is unique and quite unlike any other low-level light therapy device available today.

Based on NASA research, Celluma delivers blue, red and near-infrared light energy

simultaneously to safely treat a wide variety of conditions. Each wavelength is absorbed by

different molecules that act as a signaling mechanism for different cellular processes. For

example, some reduce inflammation and some kill bacteria, while others enhance localized

circulation.

Acupuncture and Egg Quality

If you are going through IVF, you probably have heard that acupuncture can help; but how does it help and when should you start?

Women are born with a set number of follicles, but that does not mean the quality of the eggs cannot be influenced. When doing egg retrievals, Quality Is Key!  Egg quality can respond to the environment, just like the rest of your body does.  The overall health of your body can influence the quality of your eggs.  So if you can improve their surroundings, then egg quality could change.  Consider this; better nutrients, better blood flow, and less stress could result in a better outcome. Acupuncture helps to increase energy and blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, creating a better environment for growth and development.

The ideal time to start Acupuncture treatments are about three months before egg retrieval. However, we realize that isn’t always possible and the reality is that starting acupuncture anytime throughout the IVF process can be beneficial. An egg's journey to maturity typically takes about 90 days or 3 months, hence why we suggest starting treatment before egg retrieval.

Start these 5 Lifestyle changes now to improve egg quality

1. Reduce stress

2. Better quality of sleep

3. Stop caffeine and alcohol

4. Minimize dairy and sugar

5. Switch to organic

What's the Craze with Earseeds?

You may have heard of people getting their ears pierced to treat migraines or ear stapling for weight loss.  Those concepts are from the basis of Auriculotherapy or Ear Acupuncture. I describe Auriculotherapy is kind of like Reflexology on the ears. 

The ear is what we call a microsystem.  It maps the entire body and you can treat many health conditions just by treating the Ear.  Earseeds are tiny little Varacacia seeds that are placed on specific points to continue a stimulated response.  The earseeds can generally be left in for 5-7 days.

Where do you put the seeds? What can they treat? Earseeds.com has taken the guess work out of that for you!

Try them today!!!! You can even get the Swarovski earseeds for a little stylish bling!

Therapeutic Congee

Give your breakfast routine, and your body, a little oomph with a spoonful of congee. Congee is a traditional Chinese food to help your body tame heat-related symptoms from colds, flus, and inflammatory conditions.

Scoop up some porridge made from rice and add in other ingredients to support your body’s efforts to cool and nourish. Congee is rice cooked lowly and slowly in a lot of water to porridge consistency. This soup-like porridge is easily digested and builds blood energy, supplying your body with power it needs to tame heat symptoms like fever and inflammation.

With its cooling and demulcent (relieving inflammation or irritation) properties, Congee is beneficial during sickness but also popular as a nourishing breakfast choice for those needing spleen and digestive support.

Congee in a crock pot is an easy way to cook up some of this wholesome goodness and you can throw in other ingredients to add a dash of flavor or to further supplement vitamins and minerals your body needs to feel relief. 

Basic slow cooker recipe:

• 1 cup rinsed rice

• 6 cups liquid, like water, dairy milk, almond milk, or coconut milk

Place the rice and liquid in the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours. The amount of liquid you use, determines the thickness of the porridge. For a sweeter congee, add fruits or dried berries and spices like vanilla or cinnamon. 

Dr. Stueber’s favorite toppings are goji berries with walnuts and a little honey.

Moving into the Metal Element: Autumn

Do What Chipmunks Do

Autumn is on the way. It begins September 23 and ends December 21. In TCM, the seasons have an affect on the body, and each season is connected to certain elements. The Five Elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. The elements can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify how the body is out of balance. 

As autumn falls in, living in tune with metal elements can help our body maintain balance. The organs most affected by the changing season are lungs, nose, large intestine, and skin and hair. Fall is a season when animals start gathering and storing what they need for winter, and for us humans, we too benefit from a gather-and-storage mindset. Think about what you need to support your body as we enter into this next change of season and gather and store those ideas and items to help you be prepared for cooler temps, flu season, and colds. Think about ways you can support your body to keep your immune system strong and able to fight the onslaught of viruses surrounding us during cold seasons. Sour and moistening foods support the metal organs during autumn as humidity decreases.

We associate dehydration with summer months, and the extra sweating and hot temperatures do add burden to the body, but cool, dryer months that start with autumn also foster dryness in the body. The major symptoms of dryness are:

• Thirst

• Dry skin, nose, and lips

• Itchiness

Food and beverage with moistening qualities can help reduce the burden on the body and better prepare your body to defend against viruses. Those with dry symptoms should consume more moist-inducing foods and use less bitter, warming foods. But what do you do when you get conflicting symptoms?

If you’ve followed the guidelines for autumn’s metal element to balance your body and not felt the positive results you hoped, consider the uniqueness of your body in relation to the elements. Though the seasons and its elements can guide seasonal activities that support the body, your body might already have organs under stress from previous seasons. When this occurs, more know-how and attention is needed to determine how to synergistically balance the organs to achieve that true feeling of wellness. 

If you overindulged too frequently this summer eating the creamy and greasy offerings at the summer gatherings, you routinely overextended yourself at work to the point you felt drained and depleted, or you obsessed and worried about a problem, your body probably gave you signs it was under burden. If you missed your body’s signals and your body didn’t get the support it needed to bring itself back to balance, then those stressed organs are going to work harder to let you know something is out of balance…yeast infection anyone? 

No matter the season, giving your body moistening foods when certain organs already have too much moisture can cause an imbalance referred to as dampness, and dampness can manifest into added burden on the body when it’s not addressed. Even though autumn is known as a time to consume moistening foods, it may worsen conditions left over from summer. Knowing how to move forward when your body shows conflicting symptoms like that of being dry and damp at the same time can be a challenge, but with the right support, your body can soon get back to its true state of wellness. 

Do like the chipmunks do, and start gathering. Start gathering the things that support your body and help you stay well. Pull out those scarves and protect your wind points. Create a shopping list of healthy foods to kick-start the change of season. Schedule a time to rest and reflect. These are all things you can do yourself and every day is a new opportunity to make choices that support your body. Start gathering your tools to help your body transition to autumn, and remember that True Health Acupuncture is part of your toolkit.

Fire Up Digestion to Burn the Winter Blues

Fire Up Digestion

to Burn the Winter Blues

At some point in time, we’ve all felt a little blah, or a lot blue, during the winter months. Whether it’s the colder temperatures, decrease in sunshine, or winter ailments that have you feeling less your normal self this winter, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can help. TCM teaches us that our body’s organs and functions serve us best when they are in balance with each other. Easier said than done, right? And how exactly do bodily functions apply to you specifically? Let’s, for a moment, get personal here in the Pulse and Point Blog.

Have your bowel movements changed? Do you have more bodily discharge? Are you extra tired? Is your skin extra itchy? Or maybe you have a rash that won’t go away? All of these can be a sign of things being out of balance. Our poop is not just about what we eat; it’s also about how well or not so well our stomach, spleen, and intestines are working together. That extra discharge could mean our spleen is overworked and creating a domino effect that leads to poor digestion and our organs are not getting the nutrients they need for optimum function and balance. When your body’s organs don’t get the nutrients they need to function at optimum levels, it takes more Chi (energy) to get back to a state of balance. And that itchiness and rash could be an indication that your body isn’t breaking down food well enough for your organs to absorb nutrients.  

Digestion isn’t a revolutionary health topic, but it is central to our health and too often taken for granted or overlooked when we start feeling less ourselves. If, when we feel blah or blue, we first look to what we’re ingesting and how we’re digesting, we will have made an important step forward in turning that frown upside down!

There are specific things that can help your body achieve balance. Get Needled—Acupuncture works great to balance the body! Additionally, by creating good cold-weather habits, you’re supporting your body’s changing needs this winter. Here’s how:

• Live in sync with the changing seasons. That cooling garden salad is best during warm seasons like spring and summer. In winter, warm things up by eating roasted root vegetables.

• Ingest and rest wisely. Be mindful of food and beverage choices, how your body reacts to what you eat, and practicing good sleep hygiene. Eat less damp-inducing foods in winter. Dairy is a food that should be eaten in moderation to prevent an overabundance of dampness that can weaken organ function. Good sleep hygiene is a way to train your body to fall asleep. Try to go to sleep around the same time every night and remove distractions in the bedroom. Acupuncture and essential oils that have sedative properties are options for those who need extra help falling and staying asleep.

• Fire up the digestive process. The stomach likes to be warm when it starts to work. To help stimulate the digestive process, start your meals with something warm. Soups are a savory addition to meals in the winter months that can help fire up the digestive process. If you don’t have time for soup, then try starting your meal with a cup of warm water.

• Eat something at every mealtime. Skipping meals means your body has less energy for your organs to do what they need to do. Make sure to eat something, even if it’s light, to ensure your body gets the energy it needs.

• Add specific foods and spices to your meals to aid the digestive process in winter months. Consider adding anise seed, basil, cardamom seed, citrus peels, bell pepper, green beans, parsley, onion, scallions, and goji berries to your menus.

• Drink a balanced amount of water. The kidneys and bladder are associated with winter, which means they need extra support this season.
