CAN ACUPUNCTURE TREAT ENDOMETRIOSIS?Yes and no!Yes…Acupuncture is a great help when it comes to relieving the uncomfortable symptoms associated with endometriosis.Yes…Acupuncture can help limit the proliferation of endometriosis.No…Acupuncture does not make current endometriosis disappear (although it may be able to reduce it).We often see fertility patients for whom the endometriosis is getting in the way of a successful conception and a healthy pregnancy. We advise these patients to follow their MD’s advice and if their doctor deems laparoscopic surgery necessary we support them through this process. Then we use Acupuncture to help with recovery and to slow the rate the endometriosis returns.HOW DOES ACUPUNCTURE TREAT ENDOMETRIOSIS?Acupuncture seems to promote blood circulation and regulate hormones. It also seems to have an anti-inflammatory effect and is effective for pain relief because of its effect on blood chemistry and in particular endorphin levels.We also use a combination of ear points and systemic body points aimed at improving blood circulation, clearing inflammation, relieving pain, and treating the patient’s underlying condition. ⁣.⁣.⁣.⁣.⁣.⁣#anxiety #autoimmunedisease #butyoudontlooksick #chronicillness #chronicpain #endo #endobelly #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #endometriosissupport #endometriosiswarrior #endosisters #endowarrior #fertility #fertilityjourney #fibroids #nosara #infertility #infertilityawareness #infertilitysucks #acupuntura #ivfjourney #ivfwarrior #fertilityacupuncture #pcos #pelvicpain #acupuncture #ttc #ttccommunity #womenshealth

Endometriosis is a condition where the tissue that normally lines the uterus (the endometrium) grows outside the uterus and sticks to various pelvic organs such as the ovaries, bowel, rectum, bladder, and delicate tissue lining the pelvis. This misplaced endometrial tissue behaves just like the uterine lining itself in that it responds to the interplay of hormones during the menstrual cycle. Consequently tissue and blood slough off the endometriosis during the period, just as the uterine lining sloughs off every month. The difference is that the tissue in the pelvic cavity has no means of being discharged, so over time it builds up and can form masses and lesions which can affect organ function. Common signs and symptoms of endometriosis include: * Painful periods (dysmenorrhea) * Pain with intercourse * Pain with bowel movements or urination * Excessive bleeding * Infertility. Sometimes, endometriosis is first diagnosed in those seeking treatment for infertility. * Other signs and symptoms. fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, bloating or nausea, especially during menstrual periods. Acupuncture alleviates pain by increasing circulation in the pelvic organs and warming the uterus. It enhances the immune and endocrine systems by stimulating the autonomic nervous system to help eliminate stray endometrial cells. Acupuncture also relieves stress and corrects disruptions in the flow of the body’s energy, returning the body to good health. It also restores renal and adrenal function to correct irregular cycles and helps clear liver stagnation needed to metabolize excess estrogen that feeds endometriosis. Overall, acupuncture calms the endometrial tissue to accept an embryo and support a pregnancy.⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #anxiety #autoimmunedisease #nosara #chronicillness #acupuntura #endo #endobelly #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #endometriosissupport #endometriosiswarrior #guionesbeach #endowarrior #fertility #fertilityjourney #acupuncture #fibromyalgia

Modern women are faced with unprecedented levels of stress, fatigue, and illness, as well as a profound disconnection with their inherent creativity and femininity. By calling on the ancient healing wisdom and practice inner connection within themselves to reconnect with their female nature and ultimately heal themselves. Acupuncture has been proven effective in treating a variety of conditions from helping to relieve nausea during pregnancy, to supporting fertility, to relieving pain associated with periods, and even reducing menopause symptoms. More on each of these below.* Pregnancy: Nausea during pregnancy, or hyperemesis, is a common condition. Studies show that acupuncture can be helpful, in addition to other medications, in relieving nausea. * Fertility: acupuncture may help relieve some of the side effects associated with fertility drugs (such as bloating and nausea) and promote relaxation also shows that for patients undergoing In Vitro Fertilization, utilizing acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer can aid in increasing pregnancy rates. * Pain Conditions: Acupuncture has been proven in studies to help with conditions like dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), adenomyosis, and endometriosis. Pain is regulated through our nervous system, and our nervous system is made up of energy. When that energy becomes blocked, we can experience pain. Acupuncture has been shown to help unblock the energy and trigger the release of endorphins to help with pain management.* Menopause: During menopause, women experience a drop in estrogen levels and a spike in cortisol levels. Acupuncture can target the adrenal gland and help reduce cortisol levels, which in turn can help alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood disturbances.#endometriosis #hormonebalance #hormonehealth #hormones #menshealth #menstrualcycle #mentalhealth #pcos #pms #women #womenempowerment #womenshealth #fertilityacupuncture #guionesbeach #playaguiones #nosaracostarica #womenshealthmatte

The yogic version of a New Year’s intention is called sankalpa, meaning ‘intention’, ‘wish’ or ‘purpose’.A sankalpa encourages you to look behind the veil of attaining some illusionary ‘You’. As such, it starts with kindness towards yourself and acceptance that deep down we all have a base that is perfect and from which we can draw energy to grow and evolve. A sankalpa is usually very simple, consisting of only one or two words which capture the essence of what you want to be or become. For example, if you find yourself stressed out too much, inquire what is behind the stress and maybe your sankalpa should be “Surrender”, or if you find yourself craving unhealthy foods, explore why this is happening and your sankalpa may be “Nourish yourself”.The best way to find out what your sankalpa should be is during meditation – you may want to use the quiet time in the beginning or at the end of class to open your mind and who knows – may be a sankalpa will appear! This sankalpa can become your silent mantra in times when you need some re-affirmation, encouragement or just during quiet meditation.⁣.⁣.⁣.⁣.⁣.⁣#2023 #guionesbeach #playapelada #acupuncture #goalsetting #happynewyear #playaguiones #acupuntura #mindset #newyear #nosara #newyeardecor #newyeargoals #newyeariscoming #newyearnewme #newyearnewyou #newyears #newyearscelebration #newyearsresolution #newyearsresolution2023 #newyearsresolutionaccomplished #newyearsresolutions #sankalpa #newyearsresolutionstillgoingstrong #newyearsresolutions‼️ #newyearvibes #nye #positivity #weightlossjourney

Acupuncture treatment works to relieve pressure on the calf muscles and the foot muscles that attach near or at the attachments of the plantar fascia. Acupuncture points target a region known as the tarsal tunnel. This is an important region in the ankle where nerves and blood flow. Tension in this region can impede blood flow and is thought to be an underlying contributor to the development of this condition.

How Many Acupuncture Treatments Are Needed?Although the number of treatments is going to vary for your specific needs, we often recommend several treatments within close succession to help jumpstart your body’s response the particular health issue we are treating. For instance, we often suggest getting acupuncture treatment two or three times a week for the first few weeks.After that initial series of acupuncture treatments, you might only need a “tune-up” treatment session once a week or every couple of weeks to maintain your health. Of course, a lot of this will depend on your individual needs, schedule and preference. But this should give you a good rule of thumb to start. And, once you come in for the first time, one of our acupuncturists will make a recommendation on a treatment plan that is geared to help you with your specific needs. .⁣.⁣.⁣.⁣.⁣#acupressure #acupuncture #acupunctureclinic #acupuncturelife #acupuncturepoint #acupuncturerocks #acupuncturestudent #acupunctureworks #acupuncturist #acupuntura #alternativemedicine #chinesemedicine #playaguionescostarica #chiropractor #cosmeticacupuncture #playaguiones #playapelada #facialacupuncture #fertilityacupuncture #healing #holistichealth #massage #massagetherapy #meditation #painrelief #nosaracostarica #physiotherapy #tcm #traditionalchinesemedicine #nosara

AcuLift (Facial Acupuncture) harnesses the power of positive microtraumas to increase blood flow and collagen production to the face. Positive microtraumas are essentially very tiny tears created in the skin and underlying tissues, similar to the tears created in muscle tissue while lifting weights or performing rigorous exercises. The body’s natural healing response to these microtears caused by facial acupuncture brings with it an array of benefits, including: Brightened complexion. Reduced acne. Minimized pores. Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Reduced puffiness and facial swelling. Improved facial muscle tone. Reduced jaw tension. Reduces skin sagging. Improved skin texture. ⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ #acupuncture #acupunctureclinic #acupuncturelife #acupuncturerocks #acupunctureworks #acupuncturist #chinesemedicine #cosmeticacupuncture #cosmetictreatment #digestionsupport #emotionalhealth #facialacupuncture #fertilityacupuncture #nosara #guashafacial #hairfalltreatment #healthbenefits #holistichealing #holistichealth #immunehealth #menopausesupport #menstrualhealth #microneedling #naturalhealing #painrelief #pigmentationtreatment #respiratoryhealth #selfcaretips #tcm #weightmaintenance

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine-based approach to treating a variety of conditions by triggering specific points on the skin with needles. Acupuncture is a minimally invasive method to stimulate nerve-rich areas of the skin surface in order to influence tissues, gland, organs, and various functions of the body.Each acupuncture needle produces a tiny injury at the insertion site, and although it’s slight enough to cause little to no discomfort, it’s enough of a signal to let the body know it needs to respond, this response involves stimulation of the immune system, promoting circulation to the area, wound healing, and pain relieve.Acupuncture aims to assist people in achieving balance, or qi, and, as a result, provide relief for many ailments.⁣.⁣.⁣.⁣.⁣.⁣#acupressure #acupuncture #acupunctureclinic #acupuncturelife #acupuncturepoint #acupuncturerocks #acupuncturestudent #acupunctureworks #acupuncturist #acupuntura #alternativemedicine #chinesemedicine #nosara #nosaracostarica #cosmeticacupuncture #acupuntura #cuppingtherapy #facialacupuncture #fertilityacupuncture #acupunturista #holistichealth #massage #massagetherapy #meditation #painrelief #physicaltherapy #playapelada #tcm #traditionalchinesemedicine #playaguiones
