			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><div>
<p>When hunting around for ways to significantly improve one&#8217;s chances of conception, one needs to look not to much further than the unconventional, and the unconventional to us is no doubt fertility acupuncture. However, while that may catch some people off guard, there are a lot of different reasons as to why it may be so opportune and we will prepare to show you exactly why this suggestion is not as unexpected for us as it may be for you.</p>
<p>Was that not what you were expecting?</p>
<p>In fact, we would expect you, like us, first thought that you needed to reach out to a doctor in order to hear the most convincing reasons for how to improve fertility. Well, we did our research on top of what the doctors provided and discovered the way in which acupuncture plays an important role than say, a change in diet.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be realistic, how long do most diets last as it is?</p>
<p>Actually, more complexly put, how often do you just try your hand and changing your diet in order to drop a pound here and there, and end up somehow going off track due to a holiday, or a bad night?</p>
<p>After a diet change, the next chance for improvement no doubt falls to medication. Of course medication has only been getting more and more advanced and thus is more and more likely to target your need, fertility, and help out. However, it has also gotten more and more expensive with every new break through, and thus can put you thousands of dollars behind budget. Not the best scenario since you are going to start paying for another person&#8217;s livelihood.</p>
<p>In fact, when was the last time you gave a good look into the finances of a child? Take your life and multiply it by three or four to get a really good look, because that is exactly what will happen. Thus, fertility acupuncture can offer an invaluable option for many, in terms of price and reaction. <a href="http://www.acupuncturecambridge.co.uk" target=_self>acupuncture</a>, unlike the way it is shown in movies, is really a complicated alternative medicine. In terms of helping along fertility, the acupuncture needles are inserted near the womb in order to improve blood flow and bring about an increase in ovarian functions. This basic move can significantly allow for improved fertility chances, and will not cost you your life savings to try it out.</p>
<p>In addition to outdoing the other options, fertility acupuncture is also the most affordable on the market, given how much some grocery lists can end up costing and how expensive formal medications are. Of course, just be sure to consult with a medical doctor ahead of time to get their final input, or to inform them. They know your body just as well as you most of the time, and they may even have a recommendation of which acupuncturist is around town and you may get along with.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><div>
<p>Vanessa was an athletic woman in her early 30’s who came to my clinic with a history of frequent miscarriages.  She was able to get pregnant, and had done so three or four times, but each pregnancy ended with a miscarriage sometime during the first trimester.</p>
<p>Vanessa was soft spoken and committed to doing whatever it took to have a baby.  She had a history of an eating disorder, mild depression, and low energy.  Vanessa assured me, however, that she was eating well, and was trying unsuccessfully to gain weight.  Vanessa had a Chinese medical diagnosis of sinking Spleen Qi (energy).</p>
<p>In Western medicine, your internal organs are considered solid entities that have physiologic functions and live in a specific place in your body.  However, in Chinese medicine, your organs are considered symbolic systems of functioning, and are related to many physical, emotional, and energetic processes in your body.</p>
<p>The job of the Chinese Spleen is to convert the food you eat into energy, blood, and nutrients.  However, one of the Spleen’s secondary functions is to hold things in and hold things up.  Symptoms that the holding function of the Spleen is not up to par may include easy bruising, chronic diarrhea, prolapsed (sinking) organs, and a history of frequent miscarriages.  Frequently, these symptoms are accompanied by fatigue, mental depression, and a sense of heaviness or bearing downward.</p>
<p>There are a number of tools an acupuncturist could use in treating sinking Qi.  First, they would perform <a href="http://www.acupuncturecambridge.co.uk" target=_self>acupuncture</a>, choosing specific acupuncture points that strengthen your Spleen and move energy upward. Second, they might prescribe a variety of herbs that also have the action of moving things upward.   The formula, Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang is frequently used for that purpose, as it strengthens your Spleen to improve your body&#8217;s overall holding function.  Finally, through dietary therapy it is possible to strengthen your digestion, and ultimately your Spleen.  Your practitioner can help you choose foods that are best for that purpose and which foods to avoid. </p>
<p>In Vanessa’s case, her Spleen and digestion had been damaged by her past eating disorder.  Along with acupuncture, we worked on choosing foods that she could easily digest and concentrated on gaining some weight.  In addition, Vanessa took an herbal formula to strengthen the holding power of her Spleen.  In short order, Vanessa became pregnant.  At that time, we concentrated solely on strengthening her ability to hold the fetus to avoid another miscarriage.</p>
<p>Vanessa made it through the first trimester of her pregnancy without miscarrying.  At that point, we began to decrease the frequency of her treatments.  Vanessa ultimately had a healthy pregnancy and gave birth to an equally healthy baby boy.</p>

<p>I use to be so obsessed with how to get pregnant soon, that I actually dreamed about starting my period on a regular basis.</p>
<p>It left me sad and scared and totally confused. What an unpleasant experience.</p>
<p>Then I decided living in uncertainty was no way to live life, especially when you do have control over how to get pregnant soon.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have any physical reproductive issues, your thyroid is functioning fine, and you don&#8217;t have any other serious medical conditions, you probably have what&#8217;s called unexplained infertility.</p>
<p>They don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s wrong with you, and there&#8217;s no reason you shouldn&#8217;t be able to get pregnant soon. That&#8217;s like a back-handed compliment. It&#8217;s both a relief and terrifying. In some ways, you&#8217;d rather have a thyroid issue so you could just take the medicine and hope it resolves your fertility problems.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s When I Turned To <a href="http://www.acupuncturecambridge.co.uk" target=_self>acupuncture</a>.</p>
<p>Did you know even traditional doctors prescribe acupuncture before invitro-fertilization as there is a proven spike in its success rate?</p>
<p>Or that Chinese medicine doesn&#8217;t believe in infertility at any age, provided you still have eggs and your reproductive organs are relatively healthy?</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href='http://getpregnantsoonguide.blogspot.com'>Acupuncture and holistic medicine looks at your whole body</a>, not just your fertility. And that&#8217;s why it works. It looks to keep your entire body functioning in harmony and doesn&#8217;t just treat symptoms, it treats the root cause.</p>
<p>Does it hurt? No, at least it didn&#8217;t for me. It pinched a bit, and it was definitely a bit weird the first few times I went, but I grew to absolutely love it. It&#8217;s incredibley relaxing.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also alternatives to needles (which are very small and flimsy, and not like needles at all) with acupressure.</p>
<p>Why Acupuncture Won&#8217;t Work By Itself</p>
<p>You still need to make acupuncture work with your body. If you just do acupuncture and nothing else, it&#8217;s like going to the gym and then immediately going out for a burger and fries after, and then wonder why it&#8217;s not working.</p>
<p>The changes to <a target="_blank" href='http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-get-pregnant-soon'>get pregnant soon</a> don&#8217;t have to be difficult. You can do small, daily things that will snowball into hugely impactful changes.</p>
<p>Did you know certain foods can almost gaurantee fertility problems?</p>
<p>Or how something you might be using in the bedroom could be decreasing your chance of conceiving to almost nothing?</p>
<p>There are so many things you can do, easily, to change your life for the better.</p>
<p>You just have to keep going and seek it out. What will you choose?</p>

<p>The word &#8216;<a href="http://www.acupuncturecambridge.co.uk" target=_self>acupuncture</a>&#8216; usually evokes strong feelings of revulsion and even horror whenever it&#8217;s mentioned. The thought of tiny needles piercing your skin is definitely not for the squeamish or the faint of heart.</p>
<p>The truth of the matter, however, is that this ancient Chinese technique is relatively painless &#8211; definitely less painful than getting a vaccine shot &#8211; and tremendously beneficial that can cure, or improve conditions such as chronic pain, and fatigue.</p>
<p>Qi Energy Flows</p>
<p>As per Chinese traditional medicine, a human being is sustained by the constant flow of energy, called Qi that circulates throughout the body along set paths that are known as meridians. According to practitioners of acupuncture, these meridians run close to the skin or the surface of the body and thus, their flow can be altered by the use of a suitable piercing technique, much like a plumber fixing a pipe blockage.</p>
<p>These beliefs must of course feel hogwash to a mind trained in western medicine. While it is true that the beliefs of acupuncture and Qi have little basis in human biology, numerous scientific studies have proven the beneficial effects of acupuncture. The exact scientific reasons for this might still be unknown, but new theories seem to indicate that acupuncture somehow affects the neurological pathways running throughout the body that directly impact the brain and the spinal column.</p>
<p>Risks and Side Effects</p>
<p>Because acupuncture does not involve any direct or indirect ingestion of a foreign substance into the body, there are relatively few risks or side effects involved with it, and is a completely natural technique. There is always the risk of small injuries, bruises, minor bleeding, and in the rare cases, even infections. But these risks are very low as compared to more traditional western medicinal procedures.</p>
<p>Make sure that you get your acupuncture treatment done through a licensed practitioner approved by a government agency or a professional acupuncturist organization. In the United States, the NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine) is the organization responsible for certifying acupuncture practitioners.</p>
<p>A big issue most patients undergoing acupuncture treatment is an excessive fear of needles and pins. In some patients, this can even lead to a full scale, debilitating panic attack. If you have a history of excessive anxiety, or an underlying phobia of needles, it is advisable to consult your acupuncture practitioner before you begin treatment. She can advise you about the best possible solution to your problem. In most cases, the fear has no underlying basis and can be overcome in less than one session with an acupuncturist.</p>
<p>Acupuncture can be a boon to those suffering from conditions like chronic pain, fatigue, lethargy, stress, etc. But before you seek treatment, you must have a thorough grip on the fundamentals of acupuncture and the beliefs behind it, and understand the risks and side effects associated with it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><div>Success with acupuncture therapy is not a forgone conclusion. Below are the things that I advise my acupuncture patients to DO or to NOT DO in order to maximize the benefits of <a href="http://www.acupuncturecambridge.co.uk" target=_self>acupuncture</a> treatment.</p>
<p>DO&#8230; *Have a little something in your stomach during the treatment *Let the acupuncturist know if you&#8217;ve had alcohol, tobacco or caffeine (as these substances change your diagnostic signs) *Wear loose-fitting clothing whenever possible *Arrive 15 minutes early for your appointment and avoid rushing *Urinate before your appointment and before you get into the treatment room *Be prepared to fill out paperwork *Be prepared to be in the clinic for at least 1 hour, with you on the table for a minimum of 30 minutes of needle retention time *Try to relax as much as possible during the treatment *Turn off your cell phone during the treatment *Quit smoking cigarettes as they are working against your ability to heal *Call with 24-hours notice of cancellation or schedule change *Think of realistic goals to set for the course of acupuncture (I would consider 50% improvement in pain/symptom level and/or 50% improvement in function level to be &#8216;realistic&#8217; for a course of 6-10 treatments) *Pay close attention to: -If and/or how your pain/symptom has changed (decreased or increased) -How long your pain/symptom changed -Whether the pain has moved, changed in quality or frequency -Whether you got no change, slight, medium, good or great relief or increased pain</p>
<p>DO NOT&#8230; *Expect to multitask during your treatment *Move body parts with needles in them *Come in with an empty stomach or immediately after a large meal *Over-exert yourself (physically, mentally or emotionally) after the treatment *Consume alcohol (or other toxic substances) on the day of your treatment *Make movements, take actions or engage in activities that will exacerbate your pain during the entire course of treatment *Swim or bathe for 1 hour following the acupuncture treatment</p>
<p>Many of these suggestions are designed to preserve your safety during and after an acupuncture treatment. An example would be swimming or bathing after acupuncture. Why not take a dip in a public pool within one hour of your treatment? We just put a bunch of microscopic holes in your skin! We are trying to prevent an infection from occurring.</p>
<p>Some suggestions allow the practitioner to come to an accurate diagnosis. If you drink a cup of coffee just before an acupuncture treatment, it will likely stain your tongue and tongue coat a different color than it would be otherwise. This could potentially throw off the acupuncturist&#8217;s diagnosis. It most certainly will increase your heart rate. Because we rely on tongue and pulse diagnosis techniques it should be clear why we would want you to avoid it just before your treatment. Additionally, caffeine increases cortisol firing and could increase the pain you feel from needle insertion.</p></div>
<div>Talk with your friends and you&#8217;ll likely learn many trends. When looking into alternatives to glasses, <a target="_blank" href='http://www.lasikmd.com/'>laser eye surgery</a> is a highly recommended path.</div>

<p>Acupuncture and moxibustion are the therapeutic methods developed in China thousands of years ago.It is generally believed that these methods were originated from bloodletting and hot compress in the primitive society. However in the book entitled Zhou Li (Rituals Practiced in the Zhou Dynasty) compiled in the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were detailed records about medicine administration and therapeutic methods, but there were no records about the practice of these <a href="http://www.acupuncturecambridge.co.uk" target=_self>acupuncture</a> and moxibustion. The early information about these two methods can only be found in the silk book unearthed from a tomb of the Western Han Dynasty in Ma Wang Dui,Hunan Province.</p>
<p>Today when people talk about acupuncture and moxibustion, we actually simply refer acupuncture alone.It was often believed that the needles used for practicing acupuncture were evolved from sharp stone, stone needles, bone needles, bamboo needles, bronze needles, iron needles and silver and gold needles. However according to the silk book and Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor&#8217;s Canon of Medicine), stone needle was only used to incise ulcer and carbuncle to drain pus. Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor&#8217;s Canon of <a target="_blank" href='http://www.tcmdiscovery.com/'>Medicine</a>) says that stone needle is used to deal with ulcers and sores while small needles are used to deal with spasm of limbs, pain and difficulty in movement.</p>
<p>In Huang Di Nei Jing (Yellow Emperor&#8217;s Canon of Medicine), nine kinds of needles are mentioned. The first one is called chanzhen (sagittate needle), 1.6 cun (1 cun 3.33 cm) in length; the second one is called yuanzhen (round-pointed needle), 1.6 cun in length; the third one is called dizhen (arrow-shaped needle), 3.5 cun in length; the fourth one is calledfengzhen (sharp needle), 1.6 cun in length; the fifth one is called pizhen (sword-shaped needle), 4 cun in length and 0.2 cun in width; the sixth one is called yuanlizhen (round-sharp needle), 1.6 cun in length; the seventh one is called haozhen (filiform needle), 3.6 cun in length; the eighth one is called changzhen (long needle), 7 cun in length; and the ninth one is called dazhen (large needle), 4 cun in length. Among these nine kinds of needles, some are used for surgical purpose and others are used for needling purpose.</p>
<p>The early external therapeutic methods gradually evolved into specialized systems due to independent development of knives for surgical purpose and study on Channel diseases. Channels are the pathways for qi and blood to flow and also have various pathological changes. Since the Channels are interconnected with the internal organs, small needles, also known as filiform needles, are used to regulate qi and blood. All the Acupoints are located on the Channels. So the studies of Channels are closely related to acupuncture treatment. Besides, the function of one single Acupoint is usually a sort of independent empirical knowledge. Clinically the empirical knowledge about Acupoints is more important because special Acupoints are usually extraordinarily effective in dealing with certain diseases.</p>
<p>For example, at the side of the cheek runs the large intestine Channel of Hand-Yangming. So distorted face canbe treated by needling the Acupoints located on this Channel. However only hegu (LI 4) located on it is effective in treating this problem, not all the Acupoints on this Channel. Another typical example is zusanli (ST 36) to be used to treat gastrointestinal problems. Modern scientific experiments have proved that needling hegu (LI 4) can increase blood flow and temperature of the face. Surgical research has proved that, in dealing with gastric perforation and intestinal obstruction, needling zusanli (ST 36) can promote the abdominal peritoneum to move to wrap the perforated area or promote peristalsis.However scientific studies have found the reason why needling hegu (LI 4)can increase blood flow and why needling zusanli (ST 36)</p>
<p>TCM therapeutic approaches include acupuncture, acupressure, massage, herbal medicine, Tai Chi and Qi Gong, and cultivating healthy lifestyles and practices.</p>
<p>The practice and its treatments have been around for thousands of years. Observation and testing of<a target="_blank" href='http://www.tcmdiscovery.com/'> TCM</a> treatments and cures show that the techniques are not only effective, but also remarkably safer than Western medical practices. Herbal concoctions, acupuncture, meditation, and Qigong all produce the desired results for many people. They are also safe and natural.</p>

<p>Traditional Chinese Medicine, or simply referred to as TCM is an umbrella term that refers to not only treatments and procedures used to treat medical conditions, but also the dietary, lifestyle, and nutritional habits based on traditional Chinese beliefs. TCM is used by 25% of the world&#8217;s population, which is why Denver acupuncture clinics and TCM centers around the world continue to thrive. TCM is more appropriately viewed as a health care system instead of medical approach because it is comprised of various nutritional and medical procedures, treatments, traditions, as well as lifestyle.</p>
<p>Acupuncture</p>
<p>One of the practices considered as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine is acupuncture, which involves the insertion of needles into different parts of the body for the purposes of healing, pain and stress relief, and medical treatment. According to TCM beliefs, illnesses are caused by external obstructions that cause imbalance in the body&#8217;s natural flow and processes. The insertion of needles in specific areas of the body is designed to correct these imbalances and restore the body to its natural functioning state.</p>
<p>Acupuncture is practiced with the patient lying down, and may be asked by the acupuncture practitioner to remove items of clothing depending on the condition to be treated and the body parts that will be involved in the treatment. Due to its highly specialized nature, one would have to be educated, trained, and certified in order to practice acupuncture. Contrary to popular belief, acupuncture is not a painful process as long as the needles are inserted properly in the right places. So if you want to try acupuncture as an alternative medical healing method, make sure you find a Denver acupuncture center that has qualified practitioners who are knowledgeable in Traditional Chinese Medicine.</p>
<p>Qi Gong</p>
<p>Qi Gong is the origin of Tai Chi, which explains why the movements involved in the two practices are a lot similar. Qi Gong involves doing slow, fluid movements that are aimed to improve blood circulation and unclog vessels that cause imbalance in the body&#8217;s energy flow. However, Qi Gong is practiced not only for its physical and medical effects. In fact, Qi Gong could be more accurately described as a term used to refer to different physical and mental training systems that originated in China. It is practiced and used for medical (preventive and curative) purposes, as well as for meditation and self-enlightenment, and martial arts.</p>
<p>Medical Qi Gong is similar to acupuncture in that the Qi Gong practitioner also uses the same map of the body to locate energy points, vessels, and organ systems. There are certain forms of Qi Gong that have been shown to be effective in treating high blood pressure. As mentioned, Qi Gong is also practiced for meditative purposes, so it will also be beneficial for those who want to de-stress, gain focus, and achieve self-enlightenment. There are different forms of Qi Gong and it can be performed in different positions; sitting down, standing up, or lying down.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for an alternative, more natural treatment for your illness or condition, we suggest you look for an acupuncture clinic or center that employs TCM-certified practitioners and therapists. Some Denver acupuncture clinics also offer more than just your regular acupuncture treatments; some may also offer nutritional counselling and Chinese herbal treatments.</p>

<p>2 Eat breakfast every morning between 7 and 9am</p>
<p>Your body follows daily rhythms and patterns. Certain organs have times of peak activity. For the stomach, this time is between 7 and 9 every morning. At this time, our body is most receptive to taking in vital nutrients. It is therefore essential that you eat a good breakfast every morning. If this window is missed, you will not be able to make up for it later in the day. Conversely the stomach is least active between 7pm and 9pm so this is the worst time to have your biggest meal of the day. When people say breakfast is the most important meal of the day they are not joking. To maximise your nutrient intake follow the adage &#8216;Breakfast like a King/Queen, lunch like a Prince/Princess, dinner like a pauper&#8217;.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.acupuncturecambridge.co.uk" target=_self>acupuncture</a> Camden, Acupuncture London</p>
<p>3 Most nights be asleep by 11pm</p>
<p>Nighttime is when your body goes into growth and repair mode. New cells are made and the whole body regenerates. It is therefore essential that you make the most of this period. It has been show scientifically that the period between 11pm and 8am is when the most fitful sleep is possible. According to the ancient Chinese 11pm marks the start of a new phase of activity, characterised by physical and mental rejuvenation. Obviously the odd late night does no harm but if you regularly go to bed after 11pm your body will not get the full benefits of a good night&#8217;s sleep.</p>
<p>4 Take cardiovascular exercise for 30 minutes 3 times each week</p>
<p>Exercise stimulates the production of endorphins and serotonin. These are chemicals in the brain responsible for the feeling of well-being and happiness. It also stimulates the heart and circulatory system, and increases the body&#8217;s capacity to take in and use oxygen. Every cell in the body needs a constant supply of oxygen to create energy. Regular exercise has also been proven to reduce stress levels.</p>
<p>5 Get out in nature </p>
<p>If you can take your exercise in the park or the countryside, even better. Not only will you benefit from the fresh air coming into your lungs, but you will feel even more invigorated and relaxed.</p>

<p>We&#8217;ve recently written about Reiki for dogs and hydrotherapy for dogs as excellent alternative treatments for dog joint pain. Now comes a story about a New York veterinarian offering acupuncture for dogs. Michelle Bousquet said acupuncture helped relieve her own sciatic pain and now she&#8217;s using it in her veterinarian practice to help animals with dog joint pain.</p>
<p>Michelle Bousquet tells a story in the Press Republican about a customer who&#8217;s dog couldn&#8217;t jump in and out of the car. Because the dog is older the dog owner was very hesitant to administer pain medication because of fear it would damage the dog&#8217;s liver. Acupuncture sessions have markedly improved the dog&#8217;s overall mobility.</p>
<p>Other dog owners mirror this story upon inquiring about FlexPet. There are so many owners who are extremely wary about giving prescribed pain medications because of liver damage and other unwanted side effects. What&#8217;s more, surgical procedures can be extremely costly for owners, even with pet insurance that can often be confusing about certain coverage and benefits. FlexPet with CM8 builds back the lost cartilage to help increase overall dog joint mobility so dogs can run around, jump into and out of cars and get plenty of exercise. This process helps drastically reduce dog joint pain.</p>
<p>Acupuncture Today is a medical news service. In a recent article, Acupuncturist Gordon Cohen shared his experience with pet acupuncture, detailing the success he had with several patients. He noted the results &#8216;remarkable&#8217; and explained the immediate results. &#8216;Upon my removing the needles, the dog which has been lying partially on his side jumped to his feet and scampered about, rushing to the owner&#8217;s feet excitedly. The dog needed no further encouragement and ran to the stairs after my surprised friend who had reported that stair climbing had become difficult for the dog. Later, she reported that while on their afternoon walk the dog has been able to lift his leg.&#8217;</p>
<p>Realizing it&#8217;s still a relatively new service, Michelle Bousquet offers <a href="http://www.acupuncturecambridge.co.uk" target=_self>acupuncture</a> for dogs at about $40 for sessions that last between 45 – 60 minutes.</p>
<p>But relieving the pressure points through acupuncture for dogs is just one part of the equation. &#8216;Part of the reason why so many people see great results with FlexPet is because it&#8217;s important to also build back the lost or damaged cartilage between the joints,&#8217; said Janice Grabowski of Evansville, Ind.</p>
