  • Is acupuncture safe for anxiety?

    I have had about two people walk out just before getting treated with acupuncture for anxiety. Their fears of the needles got to them. Other than that, I have managed to calm down others issues with stress/anxiety/& even PTSD with acupuncture in a safe manner. Check with your primary to see if alternative therapy is beneficial for your condition. - Live Happy, Michael READ MORE

    Firstly, you must find out the true cause of the earache & have your primary give you a proper prognosis.

Your primary will also be able to confirm with you whether or not alternative medicine, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), may be beneficial to your condition. - Live Happy, Michael READ MORE

  • What are the pressure points for a headache?

    One of the best pressure points for headaches is called HeGu (LI 4). It is the 4th point on the Large Intestine channel located between your thumb & index finger at the mound of the webbing when you squeeze them together. Otherwise, better points will be determined by what kind of headache youre feeling & what it may be due to. If it is the absolute worst headache in your life or symptoms progress to vomiting/dizziness you should seek emergency services. Check with your primary or neurologist to see if alternative medicine would be beneficial for your situation. READ MORE
