The question, " How soon post surgery could I come for acupuncture? "
My reply, " As soon as you're released."
This knee hobbled in 1 hour after being released from surgery. It belongs to a 49 ish year old body that's extremely active. I've worked on this body for 9 years and have helped in the healing of more than a few injuries !! It was my 1st opportunity to see what Chinese Medicine could do with such a short time post surgery.
I applied herbal topicals and acupuncture.
The report. First 2 days, no swelling, no pain. 3rd day, discomfort after returning to the gym. Pictured here, 3rd day post surgery 2nd treatment. No, I can't take credit for the Red Hot Chili Peppers bandaging.
Broken record time...if you have an injury, if you're recovering from surgery, seek out Chinese Medicine ASAP. Dry needling isn't the same. May you enjoy good health.

GUT HEALTH, MICROBIOME, HARMONY IN THE MIDDLE ENERGIZER. 3000 years ago Chinese Medicine recognized the importance of digestive health, harmony in the middle energizer. The middle energizer dominates digestion of food and water. Disharmony in the middle energizer will result in improper transformation of the fluids in the body. This is the direct cause or in part largely related to almost every pathology of the body.
The health of the middle energizer suffers when improper food is eaten. Proper food is very individualized and should be prescribed per ones underlying pathology. Something that's " HEALTHY " may not be healthy for you. A safe bet and a great place to start, is adding some ferments into your diet. Again, not all things are good for everyone. Apple cider vinegar might be good for me and pickles are a better choice for you. The underlying thermic nature of everything that goes into the mouth needs to be considered....harmony is delicate.

The Heart, the Conception Vessel, and the Central Channel. The regenerative capability of the body , mind and spirit has kept me inspired and humble for 28 years. An open-heart surgery: breaks bones, severs vessels, lacerates tissue, interrupts the flow of qi and blood on the Conception Vessel and impedes the flow of the Nadi Chakra. Acupuncture, regulating the mind, body and spirit for 3000 years.

It's always so exciting to be in the office when a class or dinner is in the make. This one is especially so. IT'S A 2 FER. Not only are we going to eat a wonderful Macrobiotic meal, there's Ikebana. Already, I've learned the importance of the flower arrangement in balancing the food. Tonight's meal is full. So glad I reserved a seat. Contact Laura for future events 262-914-1786.

BROKEN NOSE- Chinese Medicine views the body interdependently. Meaning, when a part or system isn't functioning properly, it will effect other parts. The nose is viewed as the opening to the lungs. Thus, it plays a role in the health of the lungs, spleen, heart, stomach.........BLAH BLAH BLAH, I'm in pain and my face is swollen !!!!!
This person didn't come in for treatment of a broken nose. But, was happy to let me treat it. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, " Seek treatment from a Chinese Medicine practitioner ASAP in the case of trauma." After any emergency conditions are resolved, of course.
The application of stasis resolving topicals, acupuncture and cranial sacral work, improved respiration and decreased both pain and inflammation. May you enjoy good health.

' ELEMENTS ', food as medicine. When you're attending a Chinese Medicine dinner in The , it includes sending me a picture of your tongue. A persons health is as specific to the individual as their fingerprint. The tongue is used for pattern identification: state of qi and blood
progress/ regression of disease
degree of heat/ cold..... is prepared for the individual. Here in in May during a that is coming slowly, you would expect to see; lung qi, qi, kidney yang vacuity and all liver patterns.
Food as medicine dinners/ lunches have begun in our . Now ya'll know.

INTERGRATED SYSTEMS OF MEDICINE: Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Macrobiotics view the body, mind, spirit as a whole, totally inseparable. Chinese Medicine says, ones elements:
fire/ heart/ bitter,
earth/ spleen, pancreas/ sweet
metal/ lungs/ pungent
water/ kidneys/ salty
wood/ liver/ sour
need to be balanced, balance isn't static its changing constantly. Each organ/ element needs to support and strengthen the next, picture here an infinite circle. Likewise, elements/ organs will 'kick back' on others. This happens with: poor habits, improper food, improper herbs, improper supplements for an individual.
I've eaten per the energetics of food for 22 years, beginning when I needed to resolve some health issues. I'm a licensed Chinese Medicine practitioner , have 6 years of formal education in complementary / alternative medicine and 28 years of continuing education and practice. Please contact me for information on food as medicine and The Teaching Kitchen in my office at Dakini Healing Arts.
