Acupuncture For Carpal Tunnel Syndrome



Point Location: This point is found at the wrist crease of either hand and is typically located between the two tendons. About 20% of the population only has one of these tendons; if this were the case the point would be located on the side of the tendon closer to the 5th finger.

Healing Chakras with Acupuncture




Tip: To boost the immune system by way of the thymus gland and to stimulate the heart chakra you can tap the center of your Sternum (Chest) with the last 3 fingers of either hand a few times a day. The last 3 fingers are connected to the heart by other pathways, so using them to tap the sternum allows for a connection of heart energy to be made, amplifying the area.

Acupuncture For Acid Reflux, Nausea and Vomiting



In Chinese Acupuncture acid reflux, nausea, vomiting and even hiccups are direct results of an imbalanced weak stomach. These pathologies are mainly of the stomach, but other organs and their associated meridians can also affect and cause these pathologies, but the stomach is the main focus.

The term most acupuncturists use to describe these issues is rebellious stomach qi/energy, a healthy strong stomach allows for its qi to descend downward. When there is a deficiency or excess affecting the stomach then the energy goes up and rebels against its natural pathway.
