✨️TCM Thursday

Acupuncture is one of the few therapies that acts on multiple systems at once.

Modern research shows:
• it changes brain activity (Dhond et al., 2007)
• it reduces inflammation at a cellular level (Li et al., 2023)
• it improves autonomic balance (Cheng et al., 2019)
• it increases circulation (Sandberg et al., 2003)
• it influences hormonal regulation (Stener-Victorin et al., 2009)

And large-scale data confirms its clinical relevance in chronic pain (Vickers et al., 2012).

❗️But here’s the real insight:
Acupuncture doesn’t act on a single symptom.
It regulates the systems that create symptoms.

This is why the results often extend far beyond the initial complaint. Because the body functions as an integrated system

💉 The Truth About Traumeel Injections

Looking for pain relief without steroids or harsh anti-inflammatories?

Let’s talk about Traumeel Injection Therapy — a natural, bioregulatory approach that supports the body’s own healing response instead of shutting it down.

🌿 What is Traumeel?
A unique blend of botanical and mineral extracts — like Arnica, Calendula, Chamomile, and Echinacea — designed to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and speed tissue recovery.

Unlike traditional steroid injections, Traumeel helps your body modulate inflammation rather than suppress it completely. The goal? Healing that’s natural, balanced, and lasting.

💪 Why patients love it:
✅ Reduces pain and swelling
✅ Promotes recovery after injury or surgery
✅ Gentle on the body — no steroid side effects
✅ Suitable for joints, tendons, ligaments, back pain, and muscle injuries
✅ Works beautifully alongside physical therapy or acupuncture

🔬 The science:
Clinical studies suggest Traumeel can be as effective as NSAIDs for pain relief — but with fewer adverse effects. (PMID: 21526235)

👩‍⚕️ At Dawson Integrative & Functional Medicine, we integrate options like Traumeel injections into personalized recovery and wellness plans — for patients who want natural, evidence-informed care.

✨ Healing isn’t about suppression — it’s about restoration.
Ask us if Traumeel Injection Therapy could be right for you.

💫 Treating with BHRT Before It Was Cool 💫

At Dawson Integrative & Functional Medicine, we’ve been helping women rebalance hormones long before it became a trend.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) isn’t one-size-fits-all. Every woman’s journey through perimenopause, menopause, and hormone imbalance is unique — and so is her treatment plan.

✨ That’s why it’s so important to work with a hormone specialist who understands:

The nuances of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone balance

How genetics, gut health, stress, and metabolism all influence hormones

The difference between “normal” labs and optimal health

The latest research, safety data, and modern delivery options

BHRT done right is both an art and a science — and when tailored to you, it can change everything: energy, sleep, libido, mood, and confidence.

Because balancing your hormones isn’t just about age — it’s about living vibrantly. 🌸

✨️TCM Thursday✨️
Chinese Medicine isn’t mystical.
It’s functional physiology, observed over thousands of years

⚡️ Qi → how well you function
☯️ Yin & Yang → how you balance output and recovery
🩸 Blood → nourishment + emotional stability
🍷 Jing → your deep reserve (and yes, it’s finite)
🛣️ Meridians → the body’s communication network
📜 Diagnosis → patterns, not labels

If you’ve ever been told “everything looks normal” while feeling anything but— this system was built to read what others miss

Save this.
This is the language of prevention, longevity, and real medicine

✨ What the FRAT?! ✨
The Folate Receptor Antibody Test (FRAT) looks for antibodies that block folate from reaching the brain and cells — even when blood folate levels look “normal.”

Why it matters:
🔹 Cerebral Folate Deficiency → linked to seizures, developmental delay, autism spectrum features, irritability, and more.
🔹 Neurodevelopment → folate is essential for neurotransmitter balance, myelination, learning, and speech.
🔹 Pregnancy & Fertility → antibodies can reduce folate delivery to the fetus, increasing risk of neural tube defects or pregnancy loss.

💊 When FRAT is positive, folinic acid (leucovorin) may bypass the blocked receptor and restore folate to the brain.

👉 Because folate impacts brain development, mood, cognition, and overall resilience, it’s critical to work with a one of our providers who recognizes and understands how to interpret this test and tailor treatment for you or your child.
