Cupping for detoxification, some facts to think about.

Cupping for detoxification and healing.
Cupping is an amazing and very old technique to help the body detoxify and heal. It has its origins in Asia as long as a thousand years ago and is still used today because it is so safe and effective. You can also find this and similar techniques being used in Poland, Russia and Finland.

When toxins and cell waste cannot be removed through the natural processes of lymph drainage and blood flow the body becomes fatigued and can become ill. Some people will only feel tired or sluggish when they have an overabundance of waste fluid stuck in the skin and underlying muscles and tissues.

We call this stagnation; the holding of those fluids that must be removed and cleared out for the cells to work correctly. This can happen because of an old injury, an old muscle tear, car accident, fall, or any form of chronic disease.

With the cupping we lift the skin and force the fluids into different areas, this does two things. First, it sets into motion a cascade of healing that jumpstarts the body to clean the area, and two, it helps release those toxins to get back into the correct circulation where they can be cleared and clean.
What Cupping is good for…
-Chronic issues of pain, fatigue, or disability
- History of prescription or recreational drug use
-Too much protein in the diet
-Parasite or candida infection
-Exposure to environmental toxins, mold, pollen, chemicals etc.
-Past traumatic events that tend to rear up now and again.
-That feeling of being stagnant or ‘stuck’ in life, relationships, career etc…

When the kidneys, liver and lungs cannot process these issues and become over worked, the body will naturally put the toxins ‘in storage’ so they can get to them later. This usually will be in the underlying fat of the skin, or in muscles. The cupping action is that of a vacuum. It pulls the tissue and therefore the fluids through the different compartments and, over time will stimulate the body to clear it out.
Cupping is quicker than acupuncture, massage or even chiropractic at getting toxins to release and be processed.
Cupping can also help you determine the extent of an issue…
-Demonstrates the severity of the congestion (see below)
-Demonstrates the location of the most congestion and stagnation.
- Can stimulate the liver, kidney, lungs and skin to work more efficiently.
Cupping details.
Does it hurt? It can feel uncomfortable, especially if the tissue is over congested and tight or you are dehydrated. So drinkplenty of good water before and after a session.

How long will those marks last? That depends on how deep the stagnation and how ‘healthy’ your system really is. Usually the marks last a couple days. Sometimes, with deep set stagnation that is chronic, a yellowish mark may remain for a couple weeks. This is an indication that much more work needs to be done.
What should I do about the marks? Nothing, they are a natural and very expected result of good cupping. Keep them covered and warm, as the ‘opening’ of that area will release a lot of energy and heat. You can be more susceptible to chills and further trouble if they are left uncovered, especially for the first day or so. Also, the marks are more ‘open’ than the rest of the skin, be mindful of what you put on your skin. Natural and medicated oils will be more potent.
When you make an appointment simply plan to be in the office about 40 minutes. This gives us time to evaluate, do the treatment, re-evaluate and suggest home/self-care. Drink water or eat before coming for the treatment, you will relax even more and avoid uncomfortable nausea and dizziness which occasionally occur.
Who should NOT have cupping?
-Open skin, lesions, rashes, inflamed skin
-Sun burned skin… that just hurts…
- Dehydration
-Bleeding disorders, hemophilia, thrombocytopenia (platelet issues)
-Certain medications: Coumadin, Warfarin, blood thinners etc..
After cupping it is common to feel coolness or a light feeling. Your energy will go up or down depending on how your body reacts to the cupping treatment. Best plan is to schedule 4 or 5 treatments over a month period to cleanse the entire area and facilitate healing in the most efficient way for you.
See you soon!!

Good vibes from negative ions.

Good vibes from negative ions.

There has been lots of talk over the years about these 'negative ions' and how they are so good for you. It all sounded so confusing, how could something negative be good?
Well here you go.
A negative ion is an electrically charged molecule is all. It has an extra electron floating about it. Remember from chemistry that there are Protons (which have a positive charge) Neutrons (which are neutral or have no charge) and Electrons (these have a negative charge). An electrically neutral or stable molecule has an equal amount of Electrons as Protons. Since Neutrons have no charge they usually have something to do with the weight of that molecule (basically anyway). Got it? OK< so now we get to charged atoms (molecules are a combination of atoms... OK, enough of the chemistry already!!!
Where do you find these negative ions??? Here is a list; A shower, waterfall, rain, rain Forrest, mornings, sunsets, babbling brook, beaches... get the idea? anywhere water moves, or when sunlight hits water vapor. Notice you feel good enough to sing (or dance) in the shower? It is the negative ions... How about that you notice how good life is at sunset? Yup, negative ions.
Now what about positive ions? They are made by wind, electrical gizmos, air pollution like smoke and smog...(hydrocarbons) and plastics (synthetic materials) which tend to create a static electrical charge.
So what does the research say about this? Unfortunately not much. A lot of guessing at this point, but what we do know is exposure to negative ions makes people feel more relaxed and better (not everyone responds the same way so it is hard to study with double-blind, statistically controlled studies... blah blah blah.) We do see an increase in Serotonin ( a neurohormone that makes EVERYONE feel better)(http://www.electrostatics.net/articles/air%20ion%20effects.htm) . It has been studied with people with Seasonal Affective Disorder and other psychological issues related to enclosed environments. ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17151164
).
So what do Negative ions do? Here is a list; increase oxygenation of blood and therefore, the brain/ make physiological processes easier in the body/reduction of pain, reduction of stressed feelings (notice I said nothing about stress... that is already there and ions do nothing to stop bills from arriving (for example). Negative ions reduce depression, they increase happiness, help with concentration... all kinds of things. No, they do not cure anything. That is up to your body to do, but having your body work better will help it cure from anything it comes across. Negative ions reduce particulates in the air (bacteria, viruses, molds, fungi, dander et. al.
So how to get them going in your life? Get a salt lamp, they are inexpensive and help ionize the room, they are also a great night-light and can be an excellent meditation focus. Also you can get more plants, go outside more, see a sunrise or a sunset, stand in the rain, listen to it snow... take a nice shower... the possibilities are limitless, be happy for once...

Rotator cuff pain and shoulder injury, surgery may not help.

Rotator Cuff Pain and Shoulder Injury

You can't sleep at night on one side because your shoulder hurts, you start carrying things differently to avoid discomfort, you need help to reach for things on high shelves. These could all be signs of rotator cuff problems. The rotator cuff is a series of muscles that help to rotate the shoulder joint. There are four main muscles; the Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor and Subscapularis.

Currently some doctors are guiding patients away from surgery for rotator cuff because it is largely ineffective. Here is a recent article.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/shoulder-impingement-surgery-rotator-cuff-bmj-guideline-doctor-a8766116.html

The shoulder is a very dynamic joint, able to move in all directions and with that comes rather lacking stability if the muscles are weakened. The shoulder is held onto the body by really only one joint, the acromioclavicluar joint (A.C.) as we refer to it sometimes. The upper arm bone (humerus) attaches to the shoulder blade (scapula) at a place we call the glenohumeral joint. (G.H. joint for short. There are many problems that can occur in this very complex and flexible structure.
There are a few issues that come up commonly with the shoulder; labrum tears, (the GH joint), AC separations, rotator cuff injuries, strains, sprains, and even dislocations... not to mention fractures.
The rotator cuff comprises four muscles we like to call the "SITS" muscles. Just a fancy acronym for the names (Supraspnatus, Infraspinatus, Teres, and Subscapularis) Now, for you anatomy buffs out there you have noticed I put 'teres' rather than more specific Teres minor... well, I have good reason for that ... I will get into that later.
So what can you do?

The first thing we have to do is determine if the injury is acute or chronic. An acute injury is generally new, less than a week say. A chronic one is obviously more than a week old. Muscles and the connective tissues act differently in each stage of an injury. For example, acute swelling can be controlled by a simple cold pack and reduce the amount of activity you are doing with your arms. A chronic injury to muscle and ligament will have scar tissue, adhesions, changes in the fibers of muscle, which will cause weakness and pain.

The first thing that I check is the alignment of the shoulder; how the shoulder joint is set in place, how the shoulder blade rides on the back etc. With that we can get a good idea of which muscles are to blame for the trouble. Next we need to test each muscle for its relative strength. No, you don't have to lift weights or anything, I just want to see that the muscle is working. if it is not holding up to its job, we have to look at the possibility of nerve problems in the shoulder girdle or neck. The neck is a common start of shoulder problems because of the nerves and attached muscles to the shoulder.
Once we have discovered what the problem is related to, we can decide on the most appropriate treatment.
Some techniques that I have found to work on these types of injures. Many therapists and doctors may try one or two here.

1. Gentle manipulations and adjustments to help realign the joint so that the muscles can relax and do the job they were intended to do.
2. Cross fiber massage helps to reduce adhesions and scar tissue giving each muscle better range and healing ability.
3. Triggerpoint therapy helps reduce toxins in over tight muscles and allows fresh blood in to clean and nourish the area. (This is generally part of medical massage)
4. Electrical stimulation Therapy helps improve blood flow, reduce pain, and relax muscle.
Cautions:
Differential diagnosis, means to consider and look into the different possibilities of cause. Could it be a heart condition that is referring to the left shoulder? Could it be a gall bladder if it is the right shoulder referring? These are important to consider, anyone that is working on you should know enough to check. The treatment that is best is sometimes something entirely different.

Back Pain: Types and treatments (Radio Interview)

Back pain: types and treatments | 89.3 KPCC. This is an interview I did a couple years back, lots of fun, had a great time...

Tactical Mindfulness, awareness and calm

Tactical mindfulness, awareness and calm. Sounds pretty cools so far? Let's take the words apart so we can better understand.
Tactics: "Aiming at an end beyond the immediate action" "Adroit planning..." as in skillful use of hands or mind.
Mindfulness: Being focused and 'on point' with activities and thoughts at hand.
Awareness: Comprehension of aspects of mindfulness
Calm: The sense of ease.

Teaching meditation and mindfulness for nearly ten years I have worked with military, police, EMTs, paramedics, Nurses, and many that have to have 'it all together all the time" I have noticed working with these folks that they are dealing with different actions than most of us deal with in a given day, but the results are the same. They must act before reaction times allow. Don't we all do this? How bout when someone cuts you off on the road, what is your RE-action??? It is an emotional response in some preset way that can get you all kinds of suffering and upset.

In this session we will discuss personal tactics and how we can begin to change our inner strategy and develop a way to 'be like water'. Water never anticipates an action, it merely acts when appropriate. A small pebble makes a small wave, a boulder makes a large one. This is an essential aspect of our daily success in life itself. Like water, after the stone has splashed, the water again will soon become still and clear.

This is a sitting technique to just let things BE as the ARE, without judgement. Seems like regular meditation doesn't it? This is a little more self guided, we use some imagery and some rehearsal, just like in tactical training. What you practice is what you do. Here, though we wish to gradually develop compassion and wisdom instead of blind action. This process can give you extra time when things go asunder, when they seem to fall apart. Instead of re-acting, you ACT appropriately and instantaneously, going back to your calm SELF sooner, leaving that trouble behind and below...
Great for emergency workers and security forces where instant decisions mean so much. A wise and compassionate action will always be an improvement over an emotional or unprepared action. Think about that.

Some people have stress in everyday activities, not just those that obviously would cause us stress and tension. Stress of a given activity can be interpreted and perceived differently by different people.
What we are looking at here... General Anxiety Disorder or also Social Affect Disorder, and other names for stress related to everyday events. That stress, drop by drop, has over flowed its brim.

I have now combined guided meditation and acupuncture to help people with anxiety, worry, stress, angst. confusion, panic attacks, freak outs, mental disturbances, and others. How? with age old techniques. This treatment in no way will hamper other therapies, in fact it will make them more efficient. This treatment will not get you off your medication directly, but it will help your medicines work better and eventually your dosages will have to be changed. You WILL get benefit with practice. You have been practicing stress long enough, isn't it time to practice healing and wholeness??

Meditation training and acupuncture for anxiety, panic attacks, stress, and worry…

Acupuncture treatments are well-known to facilitate relaxation and whole body harmony. Meditation can enhance the effectiveness of that effect as well as train you to see anxiety rising in your body and give you effective and realistic tools to stop it in its tracks. We find that worry, stress, and anxiety are common in today’s world. We also have discovered that if you practice being upset, worried, or stressed you will automatically ‘go there’ when something occurs that is either out of your control or not what you wanted at the time. Meditation PRACTICE allows us and trains us to see and be in the world in this present moment and to become aware of the changes in our minds and bodies. With this powerful practice we can better control and guide our minds to live the life we want and deserve. Not to become a slave to our ‘gut’.

Acupuncture has a very specific set of points that can change person to person for stress, anxiety, depression, worry, and panic disorders. Once we have determined the pattern you are in, this therapy does not help you identify the cause but instead realize and acknowledge the process and stop it before it ramps up to a full-blown episode. With a few treatments you can start to feel calm much more of the time, feel balanced, centered and in control. Therapy will give you the why’s we work on HOW you are going to manage and get through it, effectively.

How the acupuncture will help. 1. It will harmonize the 'Chi' energy that flows throughout and around your body. 2. You must consciously 'tune' into each point as it is stimulated or tonified. This will help you make a good contact with your whole body. 3. The points used will help the organs to work better together and send information through the Vagus nerve that you ARE relaxed and calm.
How the meditation will help. 1. You will follow the breath and body, this will have a centering and calming effect on the mind and the coordination of the mind and the bodily action will help you be more'in tune'. That will help you see (feel) an anxiety attack, panic attack, or feeling of un-ease sooner and enable you to use the techniques I teach you to stop it and calm back down. 2. You will begin to understand through the practice that you CAN control your physiology and make a difference in your life moment by moment. 3. You will begin to feel more and more confident in your dealings with your anxiety on a day to day and even moment by moment basis.
Check out our website for more: www.thenaturalbodyworks.com

The course of treatment lasts four months (about half the time of a medication regime). Twice a week meditation and acupuncture in a safe, calm relaxing environment with an anchoring essential oil formula you can take with you. The meditation practice will start with tuning into your body while in an acupuncture treatment session, appreciating and really understanding what it IS to BE relaxed. Guided meditation, specific to YOU is offered along with techniques to use at home and work to enhance the benefit of being HERE NOW…
