FAQ

noreply@blogger.com (What's New) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:06:00 +0000

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments will vary from person to person. Some people experience immediate relief; others may take months or even years to achieve results. Chronic conditions usually take longer to resolve than acute ones. Plan on a minimum of a month to see significant changes.

Do The Needles Hurt?
The sensation caused by an acupuncture needle varies. Some people feel a little pain as the needles are inserted, but most people feel no pain at all. The needles are tiny, just a little larger than a cat's whisker or a human hair.

How Deep Do They Go?
The depth of the insertion varies. For example, your acupuncturist will use a needling technique that is different in fleshier areas, such as your buttocks. Typically, needles are inserted at depths ranging from 1/8" to 1 1/2".

Boost Your Health

noreply@blogger.com (What's New) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 17:05:00 +0000

Top 5 Ways to Boost Your Health in 60 Seconds:

1. Take a Deep Breath-

This helps move nitric oxide, a potent blood vessel dilator that resides in your nose, to your lungs, where it helps them function better. A deep breath also functions like a mini meditation, reducing stress and the aging stress brings with it.

2. Floss. Every Day-

Really, what's hard about it? It helps prevent periodontal disease, and if you dodge that trouble, your Real Age will be younger.

3. Reach for a Different Detergent-

Use nontoxic, biodegradable dishwasher soap without phosphates, chlorine or nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE), which is called a gender-bender and feminizes fish in the waters where we humans dump our waste.

4. Swallow Some DHA-

Not just any amount: 600 mg is what you should get of this amazing component of fish oil that helps keep your brain, heart, mood, and maybe even waste line healthy. Fish oil is great, too; that's DHA plus EPA. Aim for a supplement with a combined total of 2,000 mg DHA and EPA daily. We carry the top brands of fish oils, as in Xymogen and Arctic Naturals.

5. Smooch-

Taking a moment to feed your relationship contributes to your happiness, which boosts your health, too. And as far as 60 seconds go ... well, we're pretty sure more time is better on this one.
