Skin Solutions During Pregnancy
PUPS, eczema and psoriasis are common and frustrating skin disorders that occur during pregnancy where traditional medicine has nothing to offer the suffering patient other than ineffective topical creams.
Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for any skin disorder that is itchy, red, pus filled and aggravating. We are able to clear inflammation, itchiness and exudation much to the pregnant woman's relief. Skin conditions can be so horrible the pregnant Mother can hardly sleep and she scratches so deeply she causes bleeding and scabbing all over her body.
An easy salve to use at home is Calendula balm that often can soothe the itch temporarily. Always, use organic, non-toxic products like the ones available from Sierra Sage Herbs made by a local midwife and sold in my practice or on her website.

Sensational Skin Divine Detox
For a divine detox this year go deep. Seek out an acupuncturist who knows about anti-aging and facial rejuvenation. There are specific acupuncture points on the body that improve the Liver's function aiding in detoxification of your entire body dramatically improving your skin's brilliance. A skilled herbalist can prescribe herbal medicine to slow aging, diminish wrinkles and fade liver spots. The same prescription can be applied topically to your face with a yogurt mask. This enhances the bio-available ingredients absorption producing glowing skin. The acupuncture improves tone, significantly reduces wrinkles and brings radiance to a dull complexion.
Hydrating moistens your skin externally and helps your body naturally detoxify. Be sure to drink a minimum of 64 oz of filtered water daily (the average person drinks 18 oz daily). Keep up with your vitamins particularly EPA/DHA Fish oils that are moistening to the skin 1,200 mg daily.

Secrets for Great Looking Skin
Being an Acupuncturist and Herbalist somehow it's inferred that I must have perfect health, make perfect food choices, and thereby have perfect skin. I do try however, I am human and do have vices. The number one thing I have noticed that has slowed my aging is a product called GreensFirst. It's a powdered drink that contains 49 super foods, including: green tea, kelp, spirulina, aloe and pro-biotics. I drink this daily and often people think I am younger than my friends by about 5 years. My husband too drinks it and everyone thinks were are the same age (he is 5 years older than I). I am currently 37 years young and my husband 42.
The dark leafy greens and milk thistle support the liver to help with skin tone and decrease liver spots. The high levels of anti-oxidants reduce free radicals slowing the aging process reflective in our skin. This also helps build blood for those who gave birth or suffer from anemia. This is a God-send for nothing ages a woman faster than being blood deficient leaving skin wrinkled and dry. The aloe, tumeric and berries reduce inflammation that speeds aging.
For an added boost before special events I apply a homemade mask of either strawberries or pineapple. The natural acids dissolve your top layer of dead skin revealing a youthful, more vibrant you in only 20 minutes.
Once every five years I do facial rejuvenation with acupuncture and topical herbs to slow aging. This is very dramatic and can make people look years younger after ten treatments. It has become very popular amongst the Hollywood elite.
