Success with Herbs and Microcurrent

October 12, 2011  |  Leave a Comment

I hope your new autumn schedules are settling into a comfort zone. In my January post of this year, I reported on a needleless treatment using colored light and “sticky pads” on the skin to deliver a micro-current to specific acupuncture points for release of old emotional patterns. Colored light can also be used alone. I have had very positive experience with this technique on many patients since then:

1) A college aged woman’s ANA numbers (a rating of autoimmune reaction severity) decreased from 12,000 to 650. Normal is about 60.

2) A 14 year old girl had very irregular, very painful periods with excessive bleeding for 10-20 days. After two treatments with the micro-current and colored light, her periods came at 28 day intervals with about 3 days of normal bleeding and NO CRAMPS!

3) A 55 year old man had severe neck and right arm pain, anxiety and insomnia. After ten treatments of micro-current, colored light alone, acupuncture, and herb formulas, he had good sleep and no pain.

I’d also like to report 2 new developments.

A) Herb formulas that allow patients to recover deep quality sleep.

B) Herb formulas that treat digestive problems and weight gain.

Management of stress is often a key factor in producing deep quality sleep. (I have some really efficient methods for this.) But nutritional balance with herbs is often necessary. There is one type of herb formula that is really powerful for turning down your adrenalin production. This is especially useful!

A-1) A 39 year old woman who had been in a recent car accident couldn’t sleep. With a few treatments using the micro-current method and the sleep herb formula I prescribed for her, she reported the deepest sleep she had ever experienced. She started regaining her energy very quickly.

A-2) A 54 year old woman has had intractable insomnia since peri-menopausal symptoms started 7 years ago. She had immediate better sleep and then a longer term, further improvement in the quality of her sleep after taking the sleep herb formula prescribed for her.

Digestive problems run the gamut from acid reflux and food sensitivities, excess phlegm, gas and bloating, to weight gain, fatigue and poor evacuation.

B-1) A 53 year old woman on anti depressants had severe insomnia and some weight gain. She stopped taking one anti depressant, had 6 treatments of micro-current/acupuncture, and took a sleep herb formula that I prescribed. She slept well for 2 weeks, got back to exercising, and has lost most of the weight she had gained.

B-2) A 64 year old woman had severe reflux. Six days of taking an herb formula, and she is free of this discomfort.

Fall and winter are the best seasons of the year to take care of yourself. Care taken at this time of year rewards you with better health and more energy all the rest of the year.

To your health!

Microcurrent Treatments

January 3, 2011  |  Leave a Comment

I hope you had some rest and relaxation during the winter holidays. Thank you for all your support during the past year. I’m writing this post to let you know about a treatment that produces significant results in my clinic.

The treatment uses microcurrent (0.3 Hertz), through sticky pads on the skin, to treat points located on the torso of the body. A colored light is also applied to the front points for one minute. Since no needles are used, this is a great treatment for kids, or anyone else not comfortable with needles. (Colored light alone can be used as a milder treatment.)

Microcurrent treatment is good for many complaints that are otherwise difficult to treat such as reversing food sensitivities, stubborn pain syndromes, deep emotional issues, migraines, depression, chronic fatigue, and even the symptoms accompanying cancer and chemo/radiation. Torso points, if used correctly, are able to treat at a constitutional level. This means the result affects ones health at a deeper level.

My experience using the microcurrent method is that I see faster progress toward balance. The treatment usually “feels” very mild. A few people have felt tired the day of the treatment and fine the next day.

Other treatments I use include the following: Moxa (infra red light) on certain sets of points is deeply relaxing. For many patients, a main reason their bodies are not healing is because they cannot relax enough to heal.

Relaxation is the first step. No true healing takes place except in the relaxed state.

Winter is the best season to really take care of yourself. If you take care during winter, you have better health and more energy all the rest of the year. Moxa builds up energy. (So does doing yoga restorative pose.) Very gentle acupuncture with very few needles builds up energy and balances the major systems of the body.

Herbal formulas continue to treat symptoms very effectively. I make custom formulas for each individual. This increases the positive effect. A spoon of powdered herbs taken daily continues the strengthening and balancing begun by a treatment.

With these simple tools we can accomplish a great deal of positive change in your quality of life.

Best wishes for a Happy New Year !
