Treating Acne with Acupuncture

Treating Acne with Acupuncture    New research shows that Acupuncture is an effective treatment for Acne.  43 Acupuncture acne trials with approximately 3,500 patients was reviewed. In the studies, several types of acne were investigated: vulgaris, papulopustular, inflammatory, adolescent and polymorphic. The researchers discovered that when acupuncture is added to a therapeutic regime, it synergistically enhances the medicinal benefits of the treatment protocol and leads to superior patient outcomes.    If you or someone you know suffers from Acne or Hormonal Skin Issues, encourage them to incorporate Acupuncture into their treatment.  (And it's on special at InnerMovement through October!)

The Health of our Children

Health & Wellness News

SEPTEMBER 2013

Greetings! This month, our wellness topics speak to the health of our children and should be shared with every parent we know.  The younger generation in our country faces health risks of epidemic proportions, sadly from a system that should be protecting them.  American children are given more prescription medications than any other developed country and the U.S. list of recommended vaccines is larger than any other country.  Unfortunately, the state of health for U.S. Children isn't topping any lists.  According to the CDC, infant mortality rates are higher than most other developed countries (ranking 31st in 2012) and appears to be worsening.  A Washington Post article (dated 01/09/13) shows that our infant mortality rate is twice that of countries like Japan and Sweden.  Despite having the most expensive healthcare system, the United States ranks last overall compared to six other industrialized countries.  Why?   This very informational edition is jam-packed with critical research and explanations on what we are doing wrong with our kids.  It also gives ideas and insights into how to make some positive changes toward the health of our children.  We've also included some helpful tips for clearing up Acne naturally as Acne medications are one of the most widely used prescriptions given to teenagers, despite their known risks to the liver.   If you have a teen suffering from problematic skin, we now offer holistic skin care that combines topical skin treatments with Acupuncture.  The treatment is also highly effective on hormonal skin issues experienced at any age and on special through October. I hope this edition inspires each of us to rethink any and all medications and for parents to research alternatives for their children.  We urge you to dedicate time to reading this edition in its entirety including our recommended links, watching the documentary films and sharing it with those you love.  Until our next adjustment... Yours in Health,  Dr. Heidi & the InnerMovement Wellness Team
