Acupuncture can certainly improve eczema, but even moreso, it will help to identify the factors in which are making her eczema worse, thereby empowering her to improve it on her own. In Eastern Medicine, there are many patterns within each of the western diagnoses, which just goes to show that not every case of eczema (or any other condition) is the same. Learning about her eczema would make even one acupuncture treatment incredibly beneficial.

Acupuncture increases blood and energy movement through the joints. Arthritic joints are not receiving the nourishment they need to stay lubricated and strong, so the bones begin to become brittle and tiny pieces can break off and irritate the joint. Increased circulation is key to improving the pain and decreasing the resultant inflammation from degrading joints. Acupuncturists also have medicated liniments applied topically that can help as well.

Hi, thank you for the question! Yes absolutely. Sex drive, like every other process of the body, is hormonally driven. In its absence, it can safely be assumed that there is some type of stagnation present.

I recommend she find an acupuncturist in your area that she trusts and feels comfortable with and I wish the best for you both!

Hello, great question!

Absolutely. I personally love to see the quick turnaround in patients that come in with anxiety. Acupuncture has been proven to increase serotonin and dopamine levels in the body, which aid in feeling relaxed and happy. I tell patients they can expect, after a treatment, to feel more “go with the flow” and be able to roll with punches. They usually leave feeling much more relaxed and sleep better the night after a treatment. Stress and anxiety are some of the conditions acupuncture just inherently handles best, if I’m able to name just a few.

Yes, before, during and after pregnancy! I have three children myself, all big babies, and I’ve sworn that having acupuncture before and during the pregnancies was the reason my labors were so quick and, dare I say, “relatively” easy.

There’s nothing better for mom and baby than that, as far as I’m aware.

Can acupuncture help in treating lower back pain?

Hello! It’s interesting that you link your low back to work stress! This is a direct connection in eastern medicine but is not necessarily connected at all in western medicine. READ MORE
Hello! It’s interesting that you link your low back to work stress! This is a direct connection in eastern medicine but is not necessarily connected at all in western medicine. Yes, without seeing you in person, I can’t say for sure, but if your own assessment is correct, acupuncture would be very effective in this pattern. It would naturally increase the serotonin and dopamine levels, making you happier and more relaxed, and strengthen the kidney energy to support the low back. It’s also beneficial in this case to make sure you’re getting adequate sleep and 1-2 gallons of non carbonated water per day. You will find you handle your stress much easier with acupuncture, sleep and proper hydration.
