. Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture is widely accepted by mainstream medicine for use in pain relief of all types, including headache, joint pain, fibromyalgia, and pain due to trauma. Acupuncture is also widely noted in the treatment of digestive disorders, fertility issues, and restoring movement in stroke victims. As part of a system that is 5,000 years old, acupuncture and herbal medicine actually treat the entire human body and most all of the diseases that we see in our culture today.

. Acupuncture Treatment
In every human being there is a separate system of energetic pathways. They are called many things including meridians, collateral's, or channels. By using extremely fine-gauge, stainless steel needles to access the energy meridians of a human being, the body can be balanced, restoring the body, mind, and spirit to a more natural state of wellness.

. Acupuncture Sessions
Sessions typically last between one to two hours, and generally do not cause disruption to your activities. There are no known ill side effects to acupuncture aside from occasional bruising. It is safe and effective!

. Natural Law
Chinese medicine uses plants and minerals, according to a "natural law". The basis of Chinese medicine also acknowledges that we are not separate from our environment, but an integral part of it, therefore, to be restored to a more balanced natural state, it makes sense to use natural means to regain perfect health. Again, herbal medicine is a time-tested method with little to no harmful side effects, and extremely effective when prescribed by a trained herbalist.

.NAET (Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Technique)
NAET was developed by Dr. Devi Nambudripad, M.D., D.C, L.Ac., R.N. PhD., of Buena Park, California, more than 20 years ago. Dr. Devi "discovered" NAET while using acupuncture to treat herself during an allergic reaction.

. Thumbnail Version of NAET
NAET basically works on the premise that when we come into contact with "offensive" substances that our nervous system recognizes as harmful, we create blockages to that substance, which in turn creates weakness in our systems. After testing your system for specific allergens, this treatment essentially reprograms the brain and nervous system to no longer react to an offending substance. By using safe, painless acupressure techniques your system will recognize previously "harmful" substances as completely acceptable, making this a perfect treatment option for infants with colic as well as adults.

A Little Bit of Blogging

I know that you have heard this a hundred times before now, but I cannot stress enough how important it is to get a great night's sleep.  The body needs time to repair the damage we do to it every day, and this happens when we are sleeping.  A great night's sleep will help your body stay strong and healthy to be able to handle the change in the weather, and keep out the nasty little viruses that are floating around looking for a weak immune system!

Our systems also get burdened when we create reactions to the environment such as mold, pollens, dust, weeds, etc.  These reactions can produce a host of symptoms like post nasal drip, headache, sore throat, fatigue, muscle pain and brain fog. We can assist the body in recognizing our environment as not being harmful by using NAET.  This is a no brainer way of increasing vitality, and improving overall health.

. Why Allergy Elimination Is Important
Many health problems in people all over the world are actually undiagnosed allergic reactions, which then lower the immune system and allow diseases to attack the weakened body. Allergic factors are involved in most diseases. Any substance under the sun, including sunlight itself, can cause an allergic reaction in any individual. A person can be allergic to foods, radiation, perfumes, chemicals, environmental conditions, plants, animals, antibiotics, vaccinations, their own body chemicals (hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.), and surprisingly, other people.
