Healthy weight loss with Cure Care Acupuncture

Fri, Jan 22, 2016

Successful long-term weight loss can be difficult to achieve. Many people have tried diets and later gained back the weight they lost plus some additional pounds.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, healthy body mass equals sufficient Qi (energy) moving through the body system. If there is not enough Qi or the energy becomes blocked in the spleen, stomach or liver, then problems occur in the digestive system resulting in weight gain. Chinese medicine maintains that when your flow of Qi is strong and your body is in balance, weight problems will naturally disappear and a healthy weight can easily be maintained.

Slow the effects of Alzheimer’s and dementia with acupuncture

Fri, Nov 20, 2015

Alzheimer's disease involves the shrinkage of frontal or temporal lobes and nerve cell death in several areas of the brain. This leads to a loss of key functions such as memory loss, impaired learning ability and concentration. Depression and anxiety can also accompany this debilitating condition.

Chinese medicine, especially acupuncture, can lower or delay these brain changes. It works by inserting small disposable needles into specific acupuncture points in the brain, which stimulates nerve regeneration and brain function. This method has been known to increase a patient’s verbal and motor skills and improve mood and cognitive function.
