Acupuncture and Pregnancy

One of the advantages of having acupuncture treatments during pregnancy is the reduction in morning sickness. Studies have shown that women using acupuncture have shorter periods of morning sickness, and they occur less frequently. One of the more common troubles in the second trimester is heartburn, and acupuncture can minimize that symptom also.
Even some of the more serious symptoms such as edema and high blood pressure can be treated with acupuncture, but it is important that a physician is also involved in these determinations, as these could be symptoms of major complications. The last trimester has the usual symptoms of backache and joint pain, as the joints loosen in preparation for labor. Acupuncture will address these, and also influence the energy in the mother's body to align the baby properly for delivery. Read about how Acupuncture is used during labor here

Time to Get STUCK!

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years in Asia as a method of healing people from disease and injuries. It is now accepted in the West. I visited an acupuncturist after my car accident in 1990, and she did some great things for me. For example, I had no feeling in my right leg from my foot up to about mid-calf. After several acupuncture treatments, I have regained all sensation, except for one spot int he tip of my big toe.
There is a great new web site packed with information about Acupuncture. You owe it to yourself to check out EZ Acupuncture

Juicing for Good Health

We've all done it, said we were gonna eat more vegetable.  Promised to get more fruit into the diet.  How many times have you actually gone out and bought some fruit just to let it go bad?  It can be hard to get down, especially vegetables and especially 6 servings of fruits and vegetable daily.    That's why I turned to juicing.  It is such a great way to get the nutrients and benefits of produce in concentrated form.  I could never eat more than one or two carrots at a time.  Juice a pound of carrots into a small glass of yummy juice.  I can put the equivalent of a large salad in the juicer and make a cup of pleasant tasting liquid that I can take with me in the car, or chug on my way out the door.  I literally start my day with a Cup of salad! 

The nutritional benefits of juicing cannot be paralleled.  It is liquid vitamins in the purest form!.  There are so many supplements manufactured in labs that promise green food, or chlorophyll,  but these are powdered and dried out.  You get all this great stuff naturally when you juice.  You can get calcium, potassium, vitamins a and e etc.  In the liquid form the nutrients are absorbed right into your system.  Plus there a live enzymes and good bacteria in the veggies that are great for you.  People who juice have a glow about them that really indicated good health.
If there is a juice bar in your neighborhood I really recommend you give it a shot.  And when if you'd like to know more, check out http://totzsays.blogspot.com/
