As I write this myself at 5 in the morning…

But, I gotta say, I love the mainstream stories.  Our medicine is growing everyday.

Better Sleep

In our Chanhassen clinic we use a combo of herbs and acupuncture…that can be very effective for the hardest cases.

I like it when solutions are cheap and easy.  Nothing wrong with adding a little Cal/Mag/Vit D to your routine.

If you have questions on this or are looking to integrate acupuncture into your life, we would love to help.  Magnesium can help improve sleep and lessen the effects and instances of chronic headaches.  At our Chanhassen Clinic we advocate the use of some western supplements because they can be sooo effective and soo easy.

Acupuncture, Herbs, Dietary Therapy

Difficult problems solved with simple methods.

Often overlooked but it is a good place to start if you have health concerns.  Lack of sleep and fatigue are victims of circumstance too often.  So how do you get more restful sleep?  Make it a priority.  That is it.  For one week make getting adequate sleep a priority, above everything else…and guess what you will get what you want.  And pay attention how much better you feel even if you only get 2-3 good days in a row, that is a start.

For more focused tips…

Thank you and Happy Holidays!  2009 is almost done and with our deepest gratitude, THANK YOU very much for helping us get our acupuncture practice off the ground.  Take care and we will see everyone in 2010.

This is one of our clinics specialties.  This disease has been known about for thousands of years and has been treated with Chinese Medicine.  We can improve therapeutic outcomes, decrease side-effects, and offer a more holistic and better management of the disease using our dietary methods.  If you have questions on therapy using Chinese Medicine as an adjunct therapy to improve your health, we would love to talk with you.

I like what this article says about basically Western methods are too late and only addressing the symptoms.  Worth a read.

We had a nice turn-out today for our Cancer fundraiser.  We introduced some people to acupuncture and raised a few hundred dollars for the leukemia and lymphoma society.  I am going to chalk that up to a good day!

7 easy ways to stay warm in Chanhassen with some winter spices that you can add to your Holiday meals.  Acupuncture is more than just needles, we incorporate a lot of food therapy into our patients treatment.  As far as we are concerned medicine starts at home, especially in the kitchen.
