Acupuncture for That? What Acupuncture Actually Treats

It's the most common question we get, nearly every day of our career: "you can treat that?"
The shock that follows the nod of the head and the glazing of their eyes comes next. In one day, I treated these conditions at Eagle Acupuncture:
1. Low back pain in a pregnant woman who was unable to take muscle relaxants and pain killers

2. Turned a breech baby in the correct position with no pain involved in treatment

3. Seasonal allergies of stuffy nose, itchy eyes, headache, pressure and pain with overall fatigue

4. Restless leg syndrome with PMS and insomnia

5. Sinus Infection with no fever during pregnancy

6.  Post Partum baby blues and moodiness

7. Over 40 unexplained infertility

8. Secondary under 40 infertility (already successfully had one baby through our all natural infertility treatments over a year ago)

9. Secure Pregnancy in newly pregnant, infertility, ectopic pregnancy and habitual miscarriage patient

10.  Weight Loss, Appetite Suppression

To Hysterectomy or Not? A Woman's Most Difficult Choice To Make

These are hard facts to read, but it's the truth. Getting a hysterectomy should not be taken lightly and women do have options to correct the challenges they have with their menstrual cycles with acupuncture and herbal medicine. We are aware that a percentage of women report that a hysterectomy was the best thing they ever did. However, the majority, are not reporting this and it's critical we share the facts and offer alternatives to surgery like acupuncture and herbal medicine. 

 

FACT: Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine and Moxabustion can stop uterine bleeding up to 50%

 

FACT: Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine can reduce menopausal symptoms including: hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, libido, insomnia and vaginal dryness

 

FACT: Most patients are never informed that Acupuncture and Herbal medicine can treat menopause, heavy uterine bleeding or painful menstruation

FACT: Women report a loss of physical sexual sensation after hysterectomy.

FACT: A woman's vagina is shortened, scarred and dislocated by hysterectomy.

FACT: Hysterectomy's damage is life-long. Among its most common consequences, in addition to operative injuries are:

heart disease

loss of sexual desire, arousal, sensation

weight gain

osteoporosis

bone, joint and muscle pain and immobility

painful intercourse, vaginal damage

displacement of bladder, bowel, and other pelvic organs

urinary tract infections, frequency, incontinence

chronic constipation and digestive disorders

debilitating fatigue

loss of stamina

altered body odor

loss of short-term memory

blunting of emotions, personality changes, despondency, irritability, anger, reclusiveness and suicidal thinking

FACT: No drugs or other treatments can replace ovarian or uterine hormones or functions. The loss is permanent.

FACT: The medical term for the removal of the ovaries is castration. 73% of women are castrated during hysterectomy.

FACT: The uterus and ovaries function throughout life in women who have not been hysterectomized or castrated.

FACT: 98% of women HERS has referred to board-certified gynecologists after being told they needed hysterectomies, discovered that, in fact, they did not need hysterectomies.

FACT: Gynecologists, hospitals and drug companies make more than $17B dollars a year from the business of hysterectomy and castration.

HERS is the only independent, international organization dedicated to the issue of hysterectomy. HERS advocates for fully informed medical decisions by women.
