“Common forms of palliative care for cancer include yoga, meditation, acupuncture + massage therapy, not all palliative care is medications… Even aromatherapy can help with stress + certain aromas can help with nausea. Those are things most people wouldn’t look at.”

Sooo… exactly what is Acupuncture + how does it work? Most common question I receive-

•Acupuncture is an ancient healing technique developed thousands of years ago in Asia.

Proponents claim it can relieve stress, pain + discomfort by opening up a person’s energy flow, or Qi.

Medical acupuncture involves using thin needles to stimulate nerves in the muscles + under the skin.

This can result in the production of endorphins + a local histamine reaction, allowing the body to begin healing itself, which may relieve symptoms.

Acupuncture is used to alleviate a wide range of symptoms, commonly including:

•aches + pains in muscles
•headaches + migraines
•depression + anxiety
•vomiting + nausea
•low-back / neck / knee pain
•post-surgical swelling + constipation
•menstrual cramping / fertility

To practice acupuncture, a person needs to be licensed + undergo extensive training. A master acupuncturist will undergo 3+ years of training after their bachelor’s degree. They will learn to identify symptoms, diagnose conditions + use correct techniques with needles.

A senior member of a national board will supervise new practitioners. Before receiving a license, a new practitioner must pass examinations from the national board + they must continue to pass examinations each year after receiving a license.

A wide body of research supports the use of acupuncture to treat many medical conditions, including migraines, depression + arthritis.

A 2017 studyTrusted Source found that regular acupuncture could help to prevent migraines + a reviewTrusted Source from 2012 indicated that acupuncture may treat migraines as effectively as other medical options.

Results of a 2018 review show that acupuncture may reduce the severity of depression in some people when used alongside traditional treatments.

I get asked pretty often, what’s the difference? Here’s an article that explains it pretty darn well. Happy to answer any questions. Cheers!

Dry needling vs. acupuncture: Benefits and uses Dry needling and acupuncture look similar and involve sticking thin needles into the skin, but they are different practices with different aims.

Puppies always help⛩

Housecall to treat: arthritis, neck + shoulder stiffness/ pain, swelling (edema) in lower legs, foot pain (neuralgia), dehydration issues … all unremarkable to Primary Care Physician. That’s when I most like to help; patient is trying to find answers, being sent home with zero advice/ findings. Oh, besides being scolded for not taking a flu shot 🤦🏼‍♀️

PS: the pink area surrounding each needle tells us the body senses a histamine reaction, which is very good, then it will start cleaning up the areas on its own, our main goal!

⛩ My approach to medicine is simple + responsible. Whenever possible, “treat from the root vs the branch.”

If you have questions about your health or someone close to you, candid consultation, support + education is available.
After seeing, talking + treating clients from childbirth to end-stage cancer for over 20 years, I am ready to share my resources.
