Enjoy learning about how to protect yourself from the effects of cold internally.
Very informative and helpful insights into some of the basics of Chinese medical principles.

There are two forms of Cold: physical and Essence. Sometimes we feel when this energetic essence enters our body. At other times, we experience its consequences.

This is a sad story on several counts.
In the future, Acupuncture’s significant affordability and it’s successful history of addressing fertility problems will help keep cases like this from happening.

If you know someone struggling with fertility issues and conventional fertility care costs, please have them reach out for a consult to learn how traditional Chinese medicine can help.

Years ago, doctors sometimes lied about whose s***m they used for artificial inseminations. Could it happen now? Some argue regulation is weak in the multibillion dollar fertility treatment industry.

Here’s a look at the Top 10 Benefits of Acupuncture in the Workplace:

1. Reduced Stress
Stress is one of the top reasons people seek acupuncture treatment. Whether it be demands from our job or personal pressures we place on ourselves, nearly 77% of us admit that we experience the physical symptoms of stress. While work is a major trigger, acupuncture has been proven to lower stress hormones and moderate mood to reduce anxiety and improve overall feelings of happiness.

2. Reduced Back Pain, Neck Tension and Relieve Joint Pain in the Hands and Arms
Keyboards, heavy backpacks, cell phones, and poor posture are just a few of the culprits that create the type of pain that penetrates into our workday and keeps us up at night. Acupuncture provides drug-free pain relief while also reduces swelling and inflammation.
Acupuncture NeedlesAcupuncture needles are hair-thin and flexible, which means you hardly feel them when inserted.

3. Relief from Headaches
Acupuncture has been used to treat headaches for thousands of years. Recent studies have shown that acupuncture can reduce days with migraines and may have lasting effects. With the most common side effects being a sense of euphoria and relaxation, acupuncture is a choice treatment for those seeking a less invasive, drug-free option.

4. Reduced Eye Strain
Acupuncture can relive eye strain that is often connected to neck tension. Acupuncture also treats many eye ailments including myopia (short-sightedness), hypermetropia (long sightedness), cataract, glaucoma, presbyopia, astigmatism, amblyopia (lazy eye), diplopia, color blindness, and night blindness.

5. Improved Immune System and Reduced Sick Days
Acupuncture can help fight off pathogens by boosting the body’s immune system. Acupuncture treatment can also reduce the duration of a cold and relieve debilitating symptoms that keep you feeling miserable and away from work.

6. Enhanced Mental Clarity and Increased Energy
Acupuncture patients report enhanced mental clarity and often experience a surge of increased energy. Improved sleep is additional benefit, which is why acupuncture is used to treat sleep disorders like insomnia.

7. Relief from Digestive Conditions
The link between digestive health and overall health is inescapable. Acupuncture can effectively regulate the digestive system, which is good news for those plagued by gastrointestinal problems.

8. Allergy Relief
Acupuncture can be key in preventing allergies but it is important to being treatments to strengthen your body before allergy season begins. Acupuncture may also reduce allergy symptoms and can be used in place of or in conjunction with antihistamines.

9. Reduced Cigarette Craving
Acupuncture can be effective in the road to quitting or reducing smoking habits. In addition to helping ease jitters, curb cravings, and lessen irritability, it also promotes lung tissue repair while increasing relaxation and detoxification in the body.

10. Fewer Injuries on the Body Due to Repetitive Strain

Traditional Chinese Medicine in a friendly, personable, easy going setting. Enjoy holistic, personalized internal medicine and pain management in a relaxing side effect free setting.

Paul Miller, MSAOM, L.Ac., EAMP

Bio

In pursuit of holistic healthcare that is readily accessible to all, and in an effort to share a unique life long personal benefit from the alternative medical field, Paul Miller has chosen to bring his specific medical skill set to this community. Through education, community outreach, and a private practice focused on integration and collaboration, his goal is to share a deeply rooted passion for Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine and their great potential in helping many achieve optimal wellbeing.

Paul Miller studied Chinese Medicine at Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington where he obtained both a Bachelor's degree in Natural Health Sciences and a Master's degree in Acupuncture and Oriental medicine.
He received clinical training at one of Seattle's larger hospitals, the Harborview Medical Center, where Acupuncture has been integrated with a focus in treating Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and associated complaints. Also in addition to the training received at the Bastyr Center for Natural Health (http://bastyrcenter.org), which is the student teaching clinic of Bastyr University, he accepted the externship opportunity offered by the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in partnership with Bastyr University. This was a 4 week intensive clinical rotation hosted by 4 Shanghai area hospitals where integrative care is the standard.

Upon graduation, he was given a position working with one of central Washington's most respected medical doctors. The clinical setting was very unique, with numerous alternative techniques being utilized. While there, he worked using multiple complimentary therapies, including Chinese Medicine. The style of practice and diverse patient population was an invaluable addition to his academic training.

Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM); as an independent and self-contained system of medicine, TCM is over 3000 years old. TCM is a holistic medical system, treating the human body of each man or woman as a whole, allowing for highly individualized care. Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Moxibustion, Tui Na Massage, and Cupping are all part of the proven tools still used today. TCM views the body as not only systems of organ, muscle, bone, nerve, blood vessel and lymphatics, but also sees the necessary energy needed for each of these systems to function optimally. The Chinese word for this is “Qi” (chee). Qi flows through the body in several pathways called meridians or channels. Obstruction of or damage to these channels results in pain and disease. Acupuncture accesses these meridians via specific points to reestablish proper flow or assist in building more energy within that meridian and it’s organ system. When we have enough of this energy flowing freely in our bodies our health and vitality is at its finest. TCM is an amazing system of medicine used by many successfully in the treatment of headaches, musculoskeletal pain, digestive disorders, IBS, fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue, PMS, dysmenorrhea, infertility, miscarriage and much, much more.

Paul Miller's goal is to help as many as possible experience superior health without dangerous and/or unwanted side effects associated with so many other healthcare options. Together, he and his patients journey to health utilizing as many safe, natural, and healthy alternatives as possible to allow the truly amazing healing potential of everyone's body to be maximized.
