What Are The Types Of Acupuncture Needles
The technique that involves inserting hair-thin acupuncture needles up to various depths in the skin in order to relieve pain is known as acupuncture. It was in China this technique originated thousand of years ago, though only in this last two decades when it became fairly popular.
What is not been fully understood by modern medicine practitioners is the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of acupuncture, in spite of countless health benefits shown by studies. Treated through acupuncture are weight loss, sinus headaches, asthma and eczema, and to help people who want to quit smoking.
Using Acupuncture Needles For Treatment
Series of weekly treatments are involved in the therapy and including in each visit are exam and assessment of patient’s current condition, then subsequently is the insertion of acupuncture needles, with each session lasting almost 30 minutes.
A person needs to lie down face up, facedown or sideways before acupuncture needles are placed. It is of the essence that acupuncturist uses single-use sterile packaged acupuncture needles to ensure safety.
Along the course, patient might feel a sharp but mild pain when needles are inserted giving a deep aching sensation when needle reached the correct depth but the procedure is not that painful.
Types Of Acupuncture Needles
Available extensive range of acupuncture needles to include are tube copper needle, with tube extra long copper needle, without tube copper needle, spiral handle needle, golden coated needle, right hand needle, steel handle needle, Nickel-coated needle, aluminum handle needle and flat handle needle.
Since they are very thin and quite flexible, stainless steel needles are what most of the practitioners prefer to use. These not reusable needles are just inserted a little bit. Used by some practitioners are the Japanese styles ultra fine, soft, solid silver needles.
These needles do not actually penetrate the skin but just attached to points. Another type of Japanese needles used has little balls at the end for the patients who are very sensitive or are scared of needles.
This needle is just connected and placed at a point while the result of this procedure is quite effective for little children or weak people.
Acupuncture Without Needles
Certain interconnected points, known as meridians, throughout the body are stimulated by applying acupuncture. What positively respond to stimulation resulting to relief of pain and overall sense of well-being are the limbs, organs including these meridians.
However, there are other available devices for those who dislike the insertion of needles into their body. These devices are battery-controlled power which locates the points that need stimulation and audiovisual signal.
The user will be informed to press the treatment button located on hand held unit and a small amount of current flows through the body bringing relief.

Progressive Labs Para Thyrolate – 90 caps $13.5 Para Thyrolate is designed to help normalize calcium and phosphorous metabolism by virtue of its parathyroid component. Also, thyroid growth and repair factors and iodine are provided. The parathyroid glands, through parathormone hormone, balance the two way exchange of calcium between bone and blood. Calcium is stored in bone in the form of calcium phosphate. A rise in serum phosphorus is accompanied by reduction in serum calcium. High parathormone levels can lead to the development o fbrittle bones, lassitude, loss of appetite, kidney stones, upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other digestive disorders. Low parathormone levels can lead to tetany (‘pins and needles’ sensation), Reynaud’s disease, epilepsy, angina pains, cataracts, anxiety, listlessness, and even psychosis.*Suggested Use: One capsule daily, or more, as directed by a doctor.Ingredients: Calcium (as calcium citrate) 100 mgIodine (from sea kelp) 225 mcgParathyroid Concentrate 500 mgThyroid Concentrate (thyroxin free) 25 mgPapain (525 TU/mg) 10 mg |

North American Herb & Spice Wild Oil – Rosemary, 0.45 oz $29.51 Description:Oil of Rosemary can be taken internally as a powerful antioxidant or externally for scalp and skin health.Recommendation:Use as needed, one or several drops daily.Additional Info:Guaranteed wild. Rosemary is known to anyone who has eaten gourmet lamb dishes. Yet there seems to be no other common use for this herb in the American diet. Thus, unfortunately, rosemary is essentially and unknown herb in American cooking as well as medicine. In fact, in America, it is used more as a decoration than medicine or food. Go to your cupboard now and look: Do you have rosemary? Probably not.The herb rosemary that is in common use is the leaves, or , more correctly, needles of an evergreen shrub known botanically as Rosemarinus officinalis . This shrub grown in moderate climates, as in the Mediterranean, near sea-swept shores. Like other evergreens rosemary has needle-like leaves and exudes the typical balmy camphorous odor. This odor is representative of the natural oils contained within the rosemary leaves, and these oils account for it’s medicinal properties.Rosemary HerbRosemary herb consists simply of the leaves, that is needles, of the rosemary bush. For health, as well as culinary purposes the finest rosemary is wild rosemary of the species Rosemarinus officinalis. There is no guarantee that commercial rosemary is from the medicinal species.Rosemary herb is rich in trace minerals, particularly calcium. According to Tierra the type of calcium found in rosemary is easy to absorb. However, it’s greatest attributes are as a result of it’s volatile oil content.Oil of RosemaryRosemary oil is a unique compound possessing several beneficial properties. Huang notes in Cancer Research that rosemary oil is a naturally occurring antioxidant exhibiting ‘high antioxidant activity.’ Umek describes in Planta Medica that rosemary oil is ’strongly inhibitory’ against viruses. Engleberg et al. In the International Journal of Immunopharmacology denotes it’s impressive powers in halting severe inflammation and edema. Navarro and colleagues found that rosemary oil if taken preventively, prevents toxic liver damage. Huhtanen determined the oil to possess significant antibacterial actions. Aqel, publishing in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, discovered that rosemary oil is antispasmodic, meaning it inhibits constrictions and spasms of the internal muscles of the lungs, intestines, stomach, and uterus. Incredibly, Inatani found that rosemary oil was four times more powerful as an oxidant than BHT, the synthetic type used in commercial foods. Singletary, of the University of Illinois, discovered how rosemary oil increases the production of the liver’s cancer fighting enzyme, glutathione-S-transferase. Amazingly, adding rosemary to the diet of rats increased liver glutathione levels by some 400%. That is a tremendous increase.Ancient UsesThe ancients used rosemary heavily, both as a food herb and medicine. While we might use a dusting of it on special dishes, the anc |

Books Arthritis Survival – 7 ea $10.33 Here are two new titles offering natural or holistic approaches to the treatment of arthritis. Alternative health writer Brown (Nature’s Pharmacy) uses her research and her own bout with arthritis and fibromyalgia to argue that arthritis can be reversed. Her theory is that joint disease is caused by poor nutrition, the build-up of toxins in joints, stress, and energy blockage. Brown describes how she rejected conventional medicine’s treatment anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone, and surgery and instead, after some research, began a trial-and-error, self-treating "eclectic protocol" that included fasting, detoxification with niacin, supplements, clay packs, diet, yoga, and relaxation. She provides detailed chapters on these and other therapies such as homeopathy, acupuncture, and copper bracelets for gout, arthritis, and the soft-tissue rheumatic diseases. Brown also lists over 23 pages of references to papers and books on both conventional and alternative medicine. Much of the information Brown offers is not new, and some of it is incorrect or flawed by her interpretation. For instance, she describes fibromyalgia as an autoimmune disease, but the American College of Rheumatology does not classify it as autoimmune or inflammatory in nature. Furthermore, by her own admission, she developed a plan by trial and error that worked for reasons she cannot pinpoint. Not an essential purchase. Ivker, a clinical professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, past president of the American Holistic Medical Association, and alternative health author (Self-Care Guide to Holistic Medicine) joined with naturopath Nelson to develop a holistic self-care program, the "Arthritis Survival Program," that offers "therapeutic options for treating, preventing, and possibly curing osteoarthritis." In a clear and readable style, the first chapter, "The Quick Fix," outlines the essentials of the program and describes herbs and vitamins that can relieve arthritis pain immediately. With Chapter 4, the book goes into the details of the program, addressing the multiple causes of arthritis (unhealthy diet and nutrition, poor sleep, stress, inactivity, environmental causes, negative beliefs and attitudes, etc.). True to their holistic approach, the authors offer chapters dedicated to "Healing Your Body," "Healing Your Mind," and "Healing Your Spirit." These chapters and the worksheets for symptoms, advice on supplements, a Wellness Self-Test, menus, and recipes reinforce the concise information found in Chapter 1. The authors are not reluctant to suggest that there are times when conventional or alternative professional practitioners need to be consulted for care and assistance in safely and effectively using some therapies. These two books handle the healing process similarly, but Ivker and Nelson’s training and credentials make them more qualified to interpret and apply available evidence. R |

Trimedica Vital Yew – 300 mg- 60 caps $14.54 An Incredible Discovery For The Toughest Health Problems!-Provides Support For Cellular Health!-Supports Optimum Lung & Sinus Function!-Promotes Immune System Support!-Helps Support Greater Strength & Endurance! What is VitalYew?Back in the 1960’s, science discovered a remarkable species of tree from the Pacific Northwest called the Pacific Yew. The Yew has already been used for centuries for promoting cellular function and immune support, but just recently, a team of scientist discovered that a unique compound hidden within this ancient tree that would change modern and holistic medicine forever. The Pacific Yew Tree contains hundreds of powerful plant compounds used in their natural form to promote optimal cellular and immune system function.Today, the Yew Tree is the most studied plant in the world because of its natural, health promoting compounds and continues to be recommended. Discover why VitalYew can help your customers strengthen immunity and support cellular function. How Does VitalYew Work? There are hundreds of powerful natural occurring plant compounds found in VitalYew that not only support cellular function but also strengthen immunity. Taxanes, compounds unique to the Yew species, are powerful plant derivatives found to prevent apoptosis (programmed cell death) in clinical studies. Taxanes bind to abnormal cellular chromosomes, which paralyzes cellular division to stop the growth of abnormal cells. There are over 128 different taxanes contained within VitalYew. Lignans are another health promoting compound found in the VitalYew. Lignans have been found not only to support normal cellular division but also to increase the body’s immune ability with regard to pathogenic activity.Flavanoids such as quercitin, rhamnetin and sciatdopitysin are also present in VitalYew. Flavanoids are a powerful plant compound known for their anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-allergenic properties and provide protection against free radical damage.Beta-sitosterol is clinically proven to support against benign prostate problems. From laboratory studies, it appears that beta-sitosterol can influence the structure and function of cell membranes in both healthy and cancerous tissue. This effect is known to alter signaling pathways that regulate tumor growth and apoptosis (cell death) and to provide a possible explanation for the stimulation of immune function observed following beta-sitosterol supplementation.Cephalomannine is also unique to the Yew Tree and is closely related to the taxane. Laboratory studies demonstrate similar activity to the taxane compound (apoptosis).VitalYew capsules, tea, tincture and salve are prepared from only the renewable needles of the Pacific Yew Tree and provide all the healthful constituents of the Pacific Yew in their totally natural form, so that you get the full benefits of this truly amazing and wonderful gift. Protect and nurture your own and your family’s precious health all year around! |
