Acupuncture is generally considered a safe and effective form of therapy when performed by a licensed and qualified practitioner. However, as with any medical treatment, there are both benefits and risks to consider. Benefits of acupuncture: Pain relief: Acupuncture can be effective in reducing pain, especially chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, headaches, and back pain. Stress reduction: Acupuncture may help to reduce stress and promote relaxation, which can have positive effects on overall health and wellbeing. Improved sleep: Acupuncture may help to improve sleep quality and duration, which can have a positive impact on overall health. Improved digestion: Acupuncture may help to improve digestion and reduce symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Relief from nausea and vomiting: Acupuncture may help to reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy or pregnancy. Risks of acupuncture: Soreness or bruising: Some people may experience soreness or bruising at the […]

  • The cavities exist between the organs and communicate between each of them

When I set out on my Chinese Medicine educational journey, I could have never imagined where it would lead me…   After all, I was just a high-schooler whose own Chinese Medicine practitioner decided to take me under her wing.   My studies led me to Beijing, then back to Toronto, and eventually led me to open up my own practice. I was able to meet and learn from the most renowned and respected practitioners in the industry.   It also kickstarted my deep study in Osteopathy.   Unlike many Chinese Medicine practitioners or Acupuncturists, I have specialized knowledge in all three disciplines. Because having the unique ability to pull from multiple bodies of knowledge allows me to fill in the gaps when needed. This means I can serve you better and puts me in the best position to help you optimize your health.   Over the years, I have […]

Did you ever get injured as a kid?   Maybe you fell off your bike. Or got hurt on the playground.   You might remember that the recovery period was relatively quick and painless.  Or perhaps there was no recovery period at all. Maybe you simply picked yourself up, dusted yourself off and kept on playing.   So why can’t we pick ourselves up and keep on playing when we get injured as adults?   When we’re born, we have a natural ability to recover well and heal quickly.   In fact, a study (Sheffield 1970) reveals that children under the age of six have the ability to heal naturally. Just like salamanders that regenerate lost limbs and sliced spinal cords. Unfortunately, this natural healing ability changes as we get older.   As we advance in age, our inherent ability to regenerate diminishes. In the medical world, we call this […]

One of the most common questions I get asked is, “should I use heat or cold for an injury?”   And when I answer, “heat,” people often look perplexed…   …They start thinking about all of the times mainstream medicine practitioners recommended they use ice after an injury.   Here’s why it’s best to use heat after an injury: While the cold is good for the temporary relief of pain, you could be inhibiting the injury repair process by using ice.   So unless you’re a performance athlete who needs to function without pain, then you’re better off using heat outside the acute phase of injury (2-3 days after injury).   Mainstream medicine recommends injured patients use ice to “decrease inflammation.” However, the issue with that is inflammation is perfectly normal.   Ice decreases inflammation. However, inflammation is a completely natural bodily response to help the body protect itself so […]
