Yes! Acupuncture REALLY Works on Sinus Congestion, Sinus Pressure and Sinus Headaches!

Whether Your Sinus issues include headache in the base of the neck, temples, forehead or face, Acupuncture Can help relieve the pain, pressure and congestion!

 

How Acupuncture Clears Sinus Pressure

Acupuncture helps to remove blockages of Qi within your energy pathways, called channels or meridians.

We can experience physical pain when these channels become “stuck.”

Acupuncture helps move the blocked Qi (pronounced “Chee”) or energy in order to relieve the pain.

We can think of Qi as circulation (this helps my Western mind).

 

Why Acupuncture For Sinus Congestion Headaches?

Licensed Acupuncturists get to the root cause of your sinus issues to not only provide relief of symptoms, but also to help them from returning.

A 2005 study compared western medications used for chronic sinusitis (antihistamines, decongestants and corticosteroids).

The study found acupuncture to be just as effective as western meds for sinusitis.

As long as patients are compliant with coming in as recommended for acupuncture appointments and follow suggested dietary and lifestyle recommendations, they should see great improvement in chronic sinus issues.

Typically, people notice their nasal passages open quickly during or shortly after their first appointment!

Yes, Acupuncture REALLY WORKS to Stop Bed Wetting!

It’s hard enough being a kid. When wetting the bed starts to get in the way of every day life, you need Acupuncture!

Why Acupuncture For Bed Wetting:

Don’t waste time fretting over your child’s hurt feelings, having to wash your child’s sheets more often than you should or whether or not your child can make it through the next big sleep over party without risking the embarrassment and humiliation of others discovering he/ she has wet the bed or sleeping bag.

  • Spend Less Time Washing bed linens 
  • Relieve Stress and Anxiety For Your Child & Family
  • Stop Avoiding that Sleep over Party (or the Anxiety that goes with it)

Reasons For Bed Wetting:

  • Western Diet
  • Anxiety
  • Stress
  • Overly Tired
  • Ridiculed (often not the case)

Aleesha D Acupuncture treats Bed Wetting in Private Treatment Rooms.

Other Reasons for Bed wetting:

  • Small Bladder
  • Inability to recognize full bladder
  • Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

Your Licensed Acupuncturist will most likely go over Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Food Therapy and other lifestyle factors which may be contributing to the issue of bed-wetting and will work with you to discover the root cause in order to resolve the problem of bed-wetting.

Suffering with Nausea During Your 1st Trimester of Pregnancy?  You NEED Acupuncture!

(Aleesha D Acupuncture also helps Patients Suffering Nausea Due to Cancer Treatments)!

Read How Acupuncture Helps Nausea and Other Side Effects Due to Chemotherapy Here

Why Get Acupuncture for Nausea:

  • Relief of Nausea/ Vomit
  • Improved Appetite
  • Improved Energy
  • Improved Mood
  • Improved Sleep

Nausea makes it difficult to eat regularly and to choose nutrient-rich foods. Just like when we suffer with the flu, we just try to eat a small bite of bland, easy-to-digest snack foods like crackers. This is not the way to feed a pregnancy! Your body needs EXTRA food with even MORE NUTRITION than ever before!

This is your body’s #1 job now.

Acupuncture is also very useful for improving overall energy, mood and sleep, all of which are decreased during pregnancy!

Acupuncture Treats Facial Wrinkles, too.

Other Tools in Your Acupuncturist’s Tool Box for Nausea:

  • Pressure point beads applied to wrists to take home
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Food Therapy
  • Lifestyle Recommendations (based on individual patient intake)

Some licensed acupuncturists will give beads to wear home over the wrists for a sort-of extended treatment. The patient suffering with symptoms of nausea is usually pretty grateful for this as it allows for a steady appetite and better ability to function with everyday tasks.

Some foods/ teas/ herbs may be recommended for nausea to supplement with or to avoid during the first trimester.

(Many find either Ginger tea or Peppermint tea is helpful to relieve Nausea)

Lifestyle recommendations may be made by your acupuncturist, in addition to diet recommendations.

Remember, your body is doing A LOT right now!

Respect your body and yourself. Do NOT over do it.

Aleesha D Acupuncture will help you get through morning sickness during the first trimester and beyond. Acupuncture continues to be good during pregnancy and afterward for improving your body’s overall Qi. This is because during pregnancy, the body’s Qi (Energy) becomes stagnated. Pregnant patients feeling Qi Stagnation often complain of feeling tired and fatigue which is worse with stress and inactivity.

Well, Acupuncture DOES Help Lower Stress & Fatigue!

Common Symptoms of Qi Stagnation:

  • Irritability/ Mood swings
  • Bitter taste
  • Fatigue

Fluctuations are natural during changes in hormone levels in our lives; during puberty, pregnancy, nursing (breast-feeding), peri-menopause, menopause and even post-menopause. Often times stress worsens these hormonal changes, making the transition more difficult and stressful than it needs to be. Thyroid Disease or thyroid imbalance can worsen during sudden hormonal changes within the body. Acupuncture can help the body balance itself during this time, making for a more harmonious transition.

Acupuncture Improves Skin Issues such as Acne, Dermatitis, Dry Skin, Eczema, Rosacea, Scar tissue, Bell’s Palsy and Shingles.

Acne:

Acne is treated by modern Western medicine with mostly topical remedies which include chemicals to attack the issue.

Acne is treated with acupuncture within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is focused on the root cause. This allows acupuncture to improve the skin by focusing on helping the body to balance itself and to remain balanced to avoid the return of this issue.

Aleesha is certified in the Mei Zen Cosmetic Acupuncture protocol. This is used to diminish deep wrinkles and erase fine wrinkles. People come in to get help with laugh lines, crow’s feet and lip lines. This is what is known as a 2-for-1 treatment as it treats the body and the face.

Contact Aleesha for more information and to get started.

 

Bell’s Palsy

 

Dermatitis:

Acupuncture treats Dermatitis, which is simply inflammation within the skin caused by allergic reaction.

Acupuncture treats Allergies at their root cause!

  • Skin with red appearance
  • Skin with scaly appearance
  • Skin may feel itchy

Examples of Dermatitis:

  • Dander
  • Poison ivy
  • Diaper rash

Is Your Rash Shingles?

Shingles, also known as Herpes Zoster has very good success rates of avoiding nerve damage if treated soon enough with Acupuncture!

Eczema:

Also known as Atopic Dermatitis, Eczema is commonly inherited from a young age. Acupuncture treats Eczema.

Rosacea:

Redness of the skin:

  • Nose
  • Chin
  • Cheeks
  • Forehead

Rosacea can happen in cycles, usually to fair-skinned complexions, and may get worse as you age. Acupuncture treats Rosacea by cooling the heat within the body and then helping the body to maintain this balance.

Dry Skin:

Dry skin can be due to hormonal imbalances during Perimenopause and Menopause or may be caused by Hypothyroidism. Acupuncture is good at helping the body to balance itself when hormones are out of balance and can help improve dry skin.

Dry skin Tip: During the winter months you may need to use more moisturizing products packed with more emollients like the My Zen Goji berry Argan facial cream sold here at Aleesha D Acupuncture.

Scar tissue:

Scar tissue is common from stretch marks, surgeries and injuries. Acupuncture is great at treating scar tissue! In China, it is used on 3rd degree burns-even on babies with the amazing result of little to no scar. It’s true. The sooner you can get acupuncture for scar treatment, the better the outcome, of course. The same holds true for Shingles (with regard to pain relief). Get acupuncture sooner rather than later.

What You Can Do to Help Your Own Skin…

(Skin Tips for Home Care)…

Dermatitis Home Care:

Soak in an oatmeal bath (be sure it is gluten-free if you are sensitive to gluten) and add a high quality moisturizer immediately afterward. Avoid coming in contact with whatever your skin is sensitive to.

 

Rosacea Home Care:

See a dermatologist earlier, rather than later (left un-treated may develop into large, raised red bumps on nose area).

Wear a wide-brimmed hat and use sunscreen with SPF of 30 or higher when in the sun.

Avoid stress if this triggers your Rosacea.

Avoid alcohol if this triggers your Rosacea.

Avoid caffeine if this triggers your Rosacea.

Avoid spicy food if this triggers your Rosacea.

Avoid heat if this triggers your Rosacea.

Be careful what you apply to skin (be wary of chemicals).

 

Dry Skin Home Care:

Use an un-refined oil to hydrate skin (and cook with), such as un-refined coconut oil. Un-refined means all the goodness in it has not been cooked out (refined) into rancid oil (rancidity is then covered up using scent to trick you).

Try a natural vitamin E supplement (check with doctor first, especially if on blood thinners)

Drink lots of water (duh!)

Scar Tissue:

Get acupuncture treatment for scar tissue to increase healing time, decrease scarring, improve pain and circulation to the area.

Shingles:

Get in to have your rash evaluated right away to determine if you have Shingles. Get Acupuncture as soon as possible to relieve pain and help avoid long-term nerve damage.

Skin Care in General:

Salves and ointments are often more soothing and may improve absorption in dry, itching or irritated skin.

When to see a Doctor for skin issues:

Any new, severe skin issue that seems to linger and has you worried.

Any moles that change in uniformity, size, shape or color. (Remember the ABCD’s of Signs of Skin Cancer)…

 

ABCD’s of Possible Skin Cancer:

Assymetrical (not the same on both sides)

Border (irregular shape or poorly defined border)

Color (different shades of color from one part to another)

Diameter (6 mm or larger-size of pencil eraser

 

If You have any of the above changes in a mole on your skin, get in to see it evaluated by your dermatologist.

 

Acupuncture helps skin issues by helping the body to balance itself. Be sure to see a licensed acupuncturist.

How Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture Treats Disease versus Western Medicine

Main differences between TCM Acupuncture and Western Medicine: 

TCM Acupuncture Treats More than Your Symptom

Treating the Branch (Symptom) vs the Root (Cause)

TCM acupuncture is known for treating chronic pain and issues that have been lingering for a long time. Often acupuncture is something we seek out after we have tried all other options. This is probably due to not really buying into the idea that acupuncture could actually work on something real, like severe pain or for hormonal imbalance, as with infertility. I thought the same way before I FINALLY tried it. (See My Story Here) TCM Acupuncture works to find out the root cause of disease and dis-ease in order to treat and resolve the pain or issue and – help prevent it from returning.

Western Medicine often only treats the branch of the disease, instead of also treating the root, where the disease started. Shining a dull leaf on a plant or tree will not resolve the problem long-term if there is disease within the root.  The root cause must be treated in order to treat the whole plant. It is the same with the human body.

Another words, TCM acupuncture treats more than just the symptoms, it also treats the cause of those symptoms.

Of course, there are times when the marvels of modern Western Medicine are necessary and appropriate to use over acupuncture or other medical treatments, i.e., Cancer, emergency surgery, life-saving medications and fixing major structural issues like broken bones and torn tendons, to name just a few.

Acupuncture does not treat such things as Cancer and should never claim to. However, acupuncture is good for many of these ailments, once the patient is in a healing stage. For instance, acupuncture is very good at helping relieve common issues in patients due to the effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatment for Cancer. Many patients come to Aleesha D Acupuncture for relief after chemotherapy/ radiation Cancer treatment appointments in order to feel better.

Treatment Aimed at Prevention vs the “Wait and See” until Symptoms Manifest into Disease:

TCM acupuncture aims for prevention. It is concerned with preventing the issue from recurring or worsening. TCM acupuncture treats specific TCM disease patterns (according to how an individual patient presents) with the aim of helping the body regain balance in order to stop the disease or dis-ease before it progresses into something worse, or before it progresses into an actual diagnosed disease (where there once was no diagnosis).

Western Medicine operates within a different medical paradigm. This is why Western Medicine often can only treat the individual after a disease has been diagnosed. Then medications, surgeries or other therapies can be recommended, taken and monitored-sometimes for life, i.e., thryoid medications!

This is common with patients who complain to doctors (sometimes for years) of chronic signs and symptoms such as low energy, fatigue, constipation, anxiety, depression, low libido, dry skin and cold hands and feet. At first these individuals are told there is nothing showing up in their labs in regard to imbalances (such as thyroid)…only to be told years later, once the labs finally show the imbalance as a thyroid deficiency or excess (once the imbalance progressed enough to show up on the tests). Unfortunately, by this time the signs and symptoms have been allowed to progress to the state of disease, i.e., Thyroid Disease such as Auto Immune Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism and Auto Immune Grave’s Disease.

It is interesting that in ancient China, doctors were only paid for prevention of disease; they were not paid if they did not prevent disease in their patients because they did not do their job.

Thyroid, Auto Immune Issues and Acupuncture

Your licensed acupuncturist is trained in TCM Food Therapy and may go over your diet and other lifestyle factors, and may make recommendations in order to help with issues such as infertility, insomnia, anxiety and sub-clinical (symptoms of low thyroid not showing in labs) thyroid deficiency. Acupuncture aims to help your body balance itself, in order to avoid disease and dis-ease.

 

Acupuncture for Anxiety

TCM acupuncture treats the whole person. This is why acupuncturists ask so many seemingly un-related questions. Your acupuncturist is going to ask about your digestion, diet, exercise, mood, menstrual cycle (if you are female), etc. The answers to these questions are each like a puzzle piece. These puzzle pieces make up a picture of you, the individual. This information allows them to treat you according to fitting within TCM Disease patterns, which are different than Western Medicine disease.

This also explains how TCM acupuncture can treat an individual under a TCM disease pattern even without a Western diagnosis, when Western medicine is at a loss as to how to define or treat certain issues or Syndromes, i.e., Fertility, Fibromyalgia, SIBO, Thyroid issues, Endometriosis and Insomnia.

What Acupuncture is Good at Treating

Acupuncture is good at treating pain and promoting functional issues within the body; digestion issues, hormonal imbalances, range of motion issues and of course, pain due to almost any root cause. Acupuncture can help with Depression when it is mild to moderate and is good for Anxiety. This is because it helps move stuck “Qi” or energy that has turned into stagnation in the body, commonly referred to as “Liver Qi Stagnation” with depression-like issues.

When Western Medicine is Needed

Acupuncture is not suitable for fixing structural issues; broken bones, torn or severed nerves, ligaments or tendons. Obviously there is a time and place for everything, including appropriate medical care for each situation. Once the tendon, bone or ligament is repaired, however acupuncture can be a good modality to help the effected area of the body to heal more quickly. An example of this is after knee, hip or shoulder surgery. Acupuncture is so common after surgeries that many hospitals are providing this option to their post-op patients to help lower the pain and inflammation, especially as they taper from pain medications.

Many patients come to Aleesha D Acupuncture in Anoka after hip surgery, knee surgery, shoulder surgery and back surgery to help relieve inflammation, swelling and pain, as well as getting back on their feet more quickly.

How Does Acupuncture Work?

Acupuncture has been a natural alternative to anxiety medication for many of my patients over the years, even the most skeptical.

Of course, anyone thinking of stopping any prescribed medication should always consult with their doctor first, and should only begin tapering any prescription medication under careful doctor supervision.
