"marble" Profile

This might be a rather strange thread, but i am very curious about it. I have noticed a visible deterioration in the color of my teeth. They pretty much lost their whitness and this is bothering me a lot. Origin...

I am currently reading a book about cosmetic acupuncture. Am finding it very interesting and easy to read. Further more, something in the book really got my attention. When talking about Spleen, the book mentiones that the it has the...

O know i asked a couple of questions in a short period of time, but i feel need to ask one more. Couple of months ago, probably in December or January i hit my leg with my big toe first...

I found 6-7 most painfull points on my ears and placed vaccaria seeds on them 2-3 days ago. Among other issues i have a problem of heat rising up my throat and so the back of my throat is always...

I know that TCM doesn't function like Western Medicine, but i need to ask here.. My father had a heart attack maybe 2 weeks ago (he is 54 years old, non smocker, non drinker but lead a sedentery lifestyle since...

Was reading books and saw that several points arent desired for use in pregnancy because they could lead to misscariage etc. Wanted to ask, is there any written data about acupuncture birth control and/or using acupunture to terminate pregnancy?

Hello. I was wondering, it is ''safe'' to mark acu points with a regular ink pen before inserting needle in that spot?

What are the best acupuncture points for someone who has back flow of digestive qi. Silent one, without pain of G.E.R.D. but with acid fumes and bile silently rising up, creating chronic low level throat/nose inflamation and a really sour/bitter...

Indeed, i will be using moxa sticks. Once again, many thanks!

Thank you kindly Chad. Could you please suggest me the amount of time i should spend on each acu point? It is summer where i live now, temperatures are in the lines of 90 degrees Fahrenheit. As mentioned in my...

Finally went to see a practitioner today. After looking at my tongue and palpating my pulse, she asked me if i was born either to soon or to late, my answer was yes, 1 week to late via caesarean section....

Was wondering if there is any connection between the fact that i have this issue on my toe (which is the starting point of the spleen) and the fact that i am obviously suffering from certain spleen issues. I am...

My blood sugar and blood pressure are both perfect. I am 25 years old and i have never experienced symptoms related to blood pressure or blood sugar, never had a headache in my life, never felt like i was going...

@Feng Mei, yes, i try to make Pizza once in a couple of weeks and i eat it all myself :) Also, i often make different kinds of kidney beans, black, red, azuki, white etc. and i eat them very...

Well i eat beans only once per week, but every week another kind of beans. Yes, i eat raw vegetables, raw spinach, cabbage, cucumber, tomato, but i also eat cooked carrots, cooked cabbage, cooked mushroms... As i said before, i...

Yes, i understand. Entire picture must be seen, not just the pieces. Still, have to say that i was intrigued with my issue since i have cold extremeties, and the skin on my face and hands is dry(yin issue), but...

You are right, phlegm is always going from my nose to my throat, but much less lately than on beggining. My problem is that i am not gaining weight :) i am obviously not digesting my food properly. I do...

After looking at some pictures it does seem to be just that (Paronychia) but the pus isn&#39t visible so it must be underneath. Will try hot soaks with vinegar/epsom salt and origano oil treatment for a couple of days and...

I am 25 years old, male, this is a chronic long lasting condition (7 years now, maybe even 8). Before it was much worse, after learning about many ways to heal naturally i decreased symptoms that were bothering me by...

I stopped with the ear seeds a couple of days ago. The book i was reading said ear seeds can be used with regular acupuncture but also alone, that is why i tried to used them because i didn&#39t know...

I know, the only problem with that story is that i live in a poor country where acupuncture is almost non existant. Closest practitioner is in the countries capital city and going there multiple times with all fees included is...

Yes, i already finished one book (auriculotherapy manual) and am about to read one more.I just need to ask you another question, an interesting trivia. I mentioned before that i had one really painfull spot on both ears, now i...

Yes, i know breaks should be done because if you stimulate certain points to much they lose their effectivness, so they also need to rest. I was also aware of the self press or massage, so this is good :)...

OH, that&#39s good to know. I was not aware of this, when reading a book it mentioned that the seeds can stay up to a week, and there was nothing about alternating ears. Can you tell me what happens next?...

Yes, when i mentioned western medicine i thought they would remove the dead nail with surgery like they do on ingrown nails. As far as infection goes, it is a small process, nothing critical. Will follow your advice and be...

All i can tell you is that one should use strong electric currents with caution. They put much larger energies in the body than normal, oftenly leading to electrolysis. I am not sure if that unit has an option for...

Yes, i though so. Unfortunately, i was telling my father for years that he isn&#39t leading his life properly but his answer was always &#39&#39i am not planning to live 100 years&#39&#39. Thanks for the fast reply!

Forgot to say.. How does it work? Well entire mouth is filled with acu points and the oil swishing stimulates those points and also expels toxins trough the mouth and tongue. The oil is spited in the toalet after 15-20...

There is a simple but HIGHY effective way to help your patient that doesn&#39t include acupuncture. An ancient practice of Oil Pulling. There are a lot of sites dedicated to it, bassicly what you do is take a spoon of...

Thank you Feng Mei. That sounds interesting. Can you tell me how exactly does it work, what is written in the books? How many times should it be stimulated? Only in fertile days, near the ovulation or? It sounds very...

Is it safe* not it is :)

Thought so. Again, thanks a million!

Forgot to mention i was reading a book about ear acupuncture and it said that ancient Egyptian woman used to cauterize a part of their ear when they didn&#39t wish to get pregnant any more. Sounded like an interesting trivia.

That is what i though. The idea poped in my head so i had to ask. Thank you very much for your answer, it was indeed brilliant!

Yes, i was aware of the magnets and their effects. I know i should learn from a real acupuncture practitioner, but i live in a country where Acupuncture almost doesn&#39t exist. There are maybe 1-2 practitioners in the capital, but...

Hello again Mishra and thank you for your reply. My gerd post was directed to &#39&#39enozia&#39&#39 who mentioned something about apples :) I am aware what tonify and sedate mean, what i wanted to ask you was, how does one...

Treating G.E.R.D. is very easy, there are several ways to treat it but most effective are taking Betaine HCL pills (1300 mg i.e. two pills with every meal until you feel a very strong burn in the stomach (not chest)...

I don&#39t wish to come into the whole family store, nor acupuncture, but cramps that your son has could be eliminated with better diet, he needs magnesium. Please provide him foods rich in magnesium (spinach, almonds etc) and also give...
