Why Chinese Medicine?
Tui-Na Massage is a form of hands-on Chinese Medical massage that helps with many musculo-skeletal problems, is beneficial to the central nervous system, benefits the sinews, promotes relaxation, promotes circulation, and helps maintain overall well being. Tui-Na is provided by a professional Chinese Medicine practitioner and is done with the patient fully clothed.
Chinese Medicine is a safe and effective way to treat and prevent illnesses. It has been used for thousands of years, with Chinese Medical texts existing since 2000 B.C. Today, it offers us a holistic and natural way to heal when used in concert with Western Medicine. The basic premise of Chinese Medicine is to harmonize the body by balancing the Yin and Yang aspects of the body (balancing the body’s heat/cold, excesses/deficiencies, etc.). This balancing of these aspects of the body helps allow for the Qi (energy) of the body to flow properly and naturally, allowing for the body to work at its’ best. Harmony equals health and where there is health, there is prevention from disease. Even if you are not “sick” or have any western medical diagnosis, it is important to receive acupuncture regularly as a way to prevent future illness from arising. Many people have found relief from problems that they originally had accepted as an “age related problem”, or even “growing pains”. Traditional Chinese Medical modalities include: Acupuncture is the use of sterile, one-time use, hairthin needles which are inserted with minimum sensation, into acupuncture points located throughout the body for a period of up to 30 minutes. This directly connects to the Qi (energy) flow of the body so as to move any stagnation that has accumulated. In Western terms, Acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system and the release of hormones and endorphins, promotes blood circulation, and creates a micro-trauma to stimulate the white blood cells to respond to certain areas directed by the needles. Chinese Herbal Medicine is the use of a variety FDA approved herbs to form a specific formula tailored to the specific individual needs of each patient. Herbal medicines are prescribed in whole herb form to be decocted into a brew by the patient, or in a powdered granular form to be mixed with hot water or even in prepared pill form. Herbal medicine is very safe and can be very effective when directed by a certified Chinese Herbalist.

Moxibustion is the use of the herb Mugwort, which is safely burned, to warm up certain parts of the patient’s body or certain acupuncture points in order to promote proper circulation of Qi (energy) and blood, nourish the body, help expel “cold” and even “dampness” from the body to help relieve pain and aches, and is also good for overall general health. Moxibustion is used often in Chinese Medicine for a variety of illnesses. Gua Sha is the use of a dull edged massage tool, or even the side of a Chinese soup spoon, to gently scrape at the skin layer of the patient until some purple marks are made and thus heat and toxins accumulated over time from stress or trauma is released from the skin and muscle layer. This leaves a bruising mark which generally goes away within a day or two. This is used in Chinese Medicine for muscle pain or tightness, back pain, and a variety of other problems. Cupping is the use of glass or plastic cups that use suction to remove heat and stagnation in the body. The cupping causes purple or red bruising on the skin which goes away in a few days. It is beneficial for a variety of complaints from back pain to the common cold. Chinese Dietary Therapy is given regularly with a Chinese Medicine treatment. What one puts into the body every day has a major impact on the body and mind of a patient, and most diseases seemingly start from what is regularly ingested. Understanding that all foods have certain energies to them that can benefit or harm individuals differently can help each patient learn how to take control of their health in the daily ritual of eating. Chinese Medicine is an ancient method of healing which can help you feel better today. Thank you for your interest in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. I look forward to working with you and helping you bring your health back into your own hands.

PET TIPS
What Makes Chocolate Toxic to Dogs
• Chocolate is deadly to dogs. Never give chocolate to your dog and keep all halloween candy away from your dog. Give them dog treats instead. • If you do decide to dress up your dog, make sure your dog approves. They just don’t get halloween! So if you must dress them, keep it brief. Give them lots of hugs for entertaining you.
Chocolate contains substances known as methylxanthines (specifically caffeine and theobromine), which dogs are far more sensitive to than people. Different types of chocolate contain varying amounts of methylxanthines. In general, though, the darker and more bitter the chocolate the greater the danger.

Seasons of the Sea Summer may be over but the beach is still calling me. I hear the waves crashing from my front yard. The strong autumn wind practically pushes me up the street. I’m wrapped in a warm sweater but still in my flip flops. The chilly sand feels so good on my bare feet. Yes, summer is over but the beach is mine. I am alone with the waves. I can see for miles; sand, sea and sky.
with a chilly sea is the norm for our NJ beach. Autumn sea is gray-green with churning waves and sandy wind. It’s a mixer of warm and cold. Winter is quite a show. Gray skies, white fierce waves on a gray choppy sea. Everything is in motion. The gray massive clouds constantly changing and tumbling. Rainy spring brings back color to our fabulous beach.
The ocean changes throughout the year and it feels so different for each season. Summer sea is calm and blue. Intense sunshine and heat
We may not have trees full of colorful leaves but we have the seasons of the beach.

The Irish brought the tradition of carving pumpkins into Jack O’Lantern to America. But, the original Jack O’Lantern was not a pumpkin. Pumpkins did not exist in Ireland. Ancient Celtic cultures in Ireland carved turnips on All Hallow’s Eve, and placed an ember in them, to ward off evil spirits.

Hurricane Warning Watching the weather channel for hours, days before they can predict where the hurricane is going to make landfall, is exhausting. I don’t know why I do it. I get caught up in the drama and can’t stop myself.
It seems like this year has much more severe storms than the past 30 years that I have lived on this island. Global warming is clobbering us. I do feel safer with the completion of beach replenishment but the bay is still a problem. We’ll have to sit tight until they solve the problem of bay flooding.
I lived through Superstorm Sandy and guess I’m a bit sensitive to storms. But really, days of watching every little palm from blowing in the wind is bit excessive.
