| What Is Acupuncture? |
 |
Amy Guinther earned her Master's of Science
in Oriental Medicine from Meiji College of
Oriental Medicine in San Francisco. She is a
licensed acupuncturist in California and
currently practices in San Rafael. She is
also a Diplomate of Acupuncture with the
National Certification Commission for
Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine.
In this segment Amy talks with us about what
acupuncture is and how the therapy can help
heal the body.
Acupuncture is a medical therapy developed
more than 2000 years ago in Asia. The therapy
stimulates specific points beneath the skin
by the insertion of acupuncture needles. This
process restores the balance of the body's
energy, also knows as "Qi"(pronounced chi).
Acupuncture needles are extremely thin made
from silver alloy, typically stainless steel.
You may feel little or no discomfort as the
needles are inserted as the process is
typically painless. You may feel different
sensations including slight soreness,
numbness, warmth, or pressure. These
energetic sensations differ from pain. People
often comment that the feeling is unfamiliar
but pleasant and comforting.
After the first treatment has been
administered, depending on the ailment being
treated, many experiences may occur.
Immediate, total or partial relief from pain
or other symptoms may be experienced. Some
patients experience a sudden burst of energy
while others may feel relaxed. Many people
experience a calming satisfaction.
In most situations treatments take between 20
and 30 minutes but can last longer in certain
scenarios. The length of the treatment
depends on individual conditions of the
patient and the skill of the acupuncturist.
Many conditions may be treated and they
include, diabetes, general pain relief,
control for arthritis, tendonitis and other
conditions such as circulatory problems with
high or low blood pressure, cold hands and
feet. Some nervous system imbalances can also
be treated such as anxiety, nervousness,
sleeplessness, depression, asthma, allergies,
sinus problems, digestive disorders like
Crohn's Disease, irritable bowel syndrome,
ulcerative colitis, diarrhea, and
constipation. Other common ailments treated
include headaches, migraines, treatments to
help stop smoking and many more conditions.
Acupuncture will not conflict with any of
your medications. Acupuncture is used to
complement and supplement your physician's
treatments not to replace them. You should
discuss this issue with your physician and
acupuncturist.

| Quit Smoking Using Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine |
 |
http://www.suddenlyslimmer.com/html/spa_facia
ls.asp?CategoryID=55&id=3 What Does the
Treatment Involve?
The acupuncture program for smoking cessation
at the Suddenly Slimmer Wellness Center
(which offers Acupuncture & Natural medicine)
consists of five visits. Before your first
appointment, you are sent an extensive
questionnaire that gathers information about
your smoking history and health background.
The form assists in identifying the
behaviors, habits and triggers that lead to
smoking. Some are social smokers, some smoke
for pleasure, some smoke alone or for
emotional reasons or when stressed. Nicotine
is a powerful mood-altering chemical that can
be sedating or stimulating, depending on the
individual. A few examples of triggers for
smoking are:
Smoking when on the phone
Smoking when angry, upset, sad or lonely
Smoking when drinking coffee or alcohol
At the first appointment, your questionnaire
is reviewed and discussed, and a physical
exam including blood pressure, lung exam, and
methods from traditional Chinese medicine
(TCM) such as taking the pulse and observing
the tongue are employed. The purpose of this
interview is to determine the Chinese medical
diagnosis for you and the individualized
treatment you will receive. Taking into
account each person's unique smoking habits
and physical and emotional make-up, every
patient's acupuncture treatment is
tailor-made and designed for him or her. No
two people are treated exactly the same. At
this session, you learn to identify your
particular triggers for smoking and how to
avoid them. Acupuncture can reduce the
cravings and lessen the withdrawal symptoms
associated you're your efforts to quit
smoking. Since the first month of quitting is
probably the most difficult, the acupuncture
program can ease you through this time. The
first appointment is geared toward preparing
you to become a nonsmoker; it does not
include an acupuncture treatment. The next
four sessions are acupuncture treatments to
help you stop smoking. Up to the night before
the first acupuncture treatment, you may
smoke your last cigarette ever. From that
point on, you will be a nonsmoker. The four
acupuncture treatments for your quit smoking
program are spaced out over three to four
weeks, usually two treatments the first week,
and then based on your individual needs. The
treatments focus on any physical or emotional
withdrawal symptoms that may arise, and also
aid in relaxation. Of course, if you are
having difficulty quitting, the program may
be modified to fit your needs.

Does It Just Involve the Ear or Are Other
Points Involved?
There are no "magic" acupuncture points for
smoking cessation. Each patient is
custom-treated according to his or her
specific and unique diagnosis. Usually a
combination of body acupuncture points and
points on the ear are used. After the needles
are inserted, you will relax for about 30
minutes.
Top
Are Any Other Techniques Used Between
Sessions?
Often you are prescribed herbs or supplements
to control cravings or withdrawal symptoms.
Exercise is encouraged and dietary
recommendations are given (foods to avoid and
foods to be included during the withdrawal
phase). Sometimes a small metal pellet is
tacked onto a specific point on the ear to
reduce cravings.
Top
How Does It Compare to Other Methods?
Because the acupuncture smoking termination
program is individualized, it is often
successful for those who have been unable to
stop smoking through other methods. Often,
our patients may have tried Nicorette gum,
the nicotine patch or some type of organized
program. If the individual sticks with it,
the acupuncture quitting program can lead to
permanent cessation.
Top
How Much Does the Program Cost?
The total cost of the program is $495.00,
which includes the initial consultation and
four acupuncture treatments. This package
price is payable at your first visit. The
herbs, which are prescribed on an individual
basis, range in cost from $6.50 to $18.00
each. Our acupuncture program to help you
quit smoking will only be effective if you
meet us halfway. Acupuncture will not "do it"
for you. You need to have a genuine desire to
quit smoking. It's very important to enlist
the support of friends and family. Everyone
will respond to acupuncture and quitting
smoking differently. Some may sail through
the process with little or no problems, while
others may have a harder time with
withdrawal. Be assured that acupuncture can
reduce the stress and difficulty of quitting
smoking, and can aid you in your decision to
quit smoking. We support you in your efforts
to begin a healthy and smoke-free life!
