As the days get shorter, it is common to feel your overall energy level decrease. This is a natural response, but if it starts negatively affecting your days, there may be an energy imbalance contributing to your tiredness.

To treat fatigue, traditional Chinese medicine uses several modalities, including acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal formulas, and nutrition. To determine the right treatment, a diagnosis must be made first. Diagnosing in TCM is quite different from conventional medicine. TCM looks at the patient holistically, considering all aspects, including the mind, the body, and the environment of the person.

Acupuncture for Fatigue:

Acupuncture is used to balance the energy within the body. Specifically, acupuncture is used to remove the excess that may be creating blockages and to improve blood circulation and oxygenation to the cells, all of which can be contributing factors to fatigue. Studies show acupuncture also increases serotonin levels, which help with sleep. Acupuncture improves mood, lessens pain, and boosts the immune system, all of which are factors that can affect a person’s energy levels.

Acupuncture Points for Fatigue:

·Yin Tang – Yin Tang is located directly between the inner edges of the eyebrows. It is a reflex point of the pituitary gland. Yin Tang calms the mind and relaxes the body by helping control hormone secretions, which can aid in more peaceful sleep.

· Kidney 1 – Kidney 1 is located on the bottom of the foot, at the junction of the anterior one third and posterior two-thirds of the line connecting the base of the second and third toes and the heel. Kidney 1 can sedate and calm the mind, while also regulating blood flow throughout the body.

·Stomach 36 – This point is located bilaterally on the outer side of the lower leg, about 4 finger-widths from the lower border of the patella or kneecap. This point is considered an overall energy and immune-boosting point.

Chinese Herbs for Fatigue:

Liu Wei Di Huang Wan is often prescribed for fatigue. This formula is particularly helpful at increasing energy within the kidney and liver energetic pathways. Another popular formula for fatigue is Si Jun Zi Tang. This formula helps increase energy by clearing out excess phlegm and dampness in the body.

Nutrition for Fatigue: When it comes to fatigue, nutrition for the spleen, liver, and kidneys is particularly crucial. The kidneys are the source of our vital essence. The liver and spleen help produce blood and vital energy that sustains the body. Foods like black beans, kidney beans, asparagus, plums, blueberries, and blackberries are all beneficial for strengthening the kidneys. Dark leafy greens like spinach and kale are good for building blood and energy via the liver and spleen. Sweet potatoes, squash, pumpkin, quinoa, and oats are all good for tonifying the spleen. Also, healthy oils and fats such as avocado, salmon, and coconut oil can be very beneficial.

We’re confident that you’ve heard of acupuncture, but do you know where it comes from? 

The study and practice of acupuncture and acupressure have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for thousands of years and is an ancient healing technique. Acupressure and acupuncture apply the same principles, but acupressure uses pressure points instead of needles to achieve the desired results. 


TCM & DEPRESSION

Today, we’re here to talk about different acupressure points that are used to reduce depression and anxiety through intentional point-placements and massage. Each of these points are ones that can be done on your own without the help of another person.

Acupressure can reduce anxiety and depression by massaging (or using an acupressure stick) the proper locations. Below, several commonly known acupressure points are listed and are known to treat depressive symptoms.

ACUPRESSURE POINTS TO REDUCE DEPRESSION
    

1.  HEART 7 (HT-7) “SPIRIT GATE”

Location: On the crease of your inner wrist towards the ulnar (pinky finger) side. Feel for a hollow place at the base of the pisiform bone.

How does it help? HT7 is often used to strengthen the heart and nourish qi and blood. This pressure point is also known to settle anxiety/worrisome emotions and also quiets the mind. It helps with sleep disturbances and emotional stress, releases tightness in the chest, and even aids with heart palpitations.

2. NEIGUAN (PC6)

Location: Find the middle of your wrist, about two finger widths below the palm. Using your thumb and forefinger, press on this location for 2-3 minutes. Repeat on your other wrist. 

How does it help? Neiguan can be used to treat depression and anxiety.

3. CONCEPTION VESSEL 17 (REN 17) “CHEST CENTER”


Location: At the center of your chest, midway between the nipples/center of your sternum.

How does it help? This acupressure point is also known as the ‘influential point of Qi’ (or energy) which this point helps regulate. Qi often gets stuck (or stagnant) with excess stress and imbalances in life. This point helps to relax your chest and release your diaphragm.

4. YIN TANG “HALL OF IMPRESSION”


Location: located between the eyebrows, in an area also known as the third eye.

How does it help? This pressure point calms the spirit and takes the edge off emotional restlessness and anxiety. It’s also known to promote deeper relaxation and even helps with insomnia! It is also great at relieving headaches and helps to clear nasal congestion or a runny nose.

Opioids. A word all too common to today’s society. Since the late 1990s, the number of opioid-related deaths has increased dramatically, having taken the lives of nearly 64,000 Americans each year.

The opioid epidemic is considered to be the deadliest crisis in United States history and overdoses have also become the leading cause-of-death in people under the age of 50 in the United States.

OPIOID HISTORY

There are many theories regarding the opioid epidemic and how we got to this point. One thing is for certain is that it began in the 1990s and it started in the medical pharmaceutical industry.

During this period of time, medical doctors were being pressured to treat chronic pain more aggressively. In response to this pressure, doctors began prescribing long-term use of opioids so that patients could better deal with their pain. At the same time that this was happening, pharmaceutical companies were touting opioids as non-addictive and not harmful.

Doctors were prescribing drugs at higher rates and according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), by 2015, there were enough pills being prescribed to medicate every American daily for three weeks straight.

ADDICTIVE NATURE


There are many who may not know just how addictive opioids can be. Studies have shown that patients who take the medications for as little as a week have a higher chance of developing an addiction.

It’s a common occurrence for those who have previously been prescribed opioids to begin misusing them. Oftentimes, if their supply ran out or their prescription expired, getting medication from friends, family, or buying them illegally was how people gathered them.

This behavior led to the medications being harder to obtain and people turning to black market forms of the drugs or using illegal drugs like heroin, to help battle their chronic pain.

USE OF OPIOIDS


Opioids are used to relieve pain because they lower the number of pain signals the body sends to the brain. They also change how the body responds to the pain. Opioids include codeine, fentanyl, morphine, oxycodone, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, and tramadol.

They tend to be safe when taken as prescribed, but since they are highly addictive, they can be easily misused, and people don’t even realize they have an addiction.

This type of medication alters the brain by creating artificial endorphins, which make you feel good. Overuse of them can cause the brain to actually stop making natural endorphins if opioids are used too frequently and at high dosages. Thus, the body becomes dependent on the synthetic drug and builds up a tolerance, which requires more and more of the drug to achieve the same level of pain relief.

ACUPUNCTURE AND OPIOIDS

Unfortunately, it seems this epidemic is not going away anytime soon. As doctors start to crack down on the prescriptions they are handing out, more and more people are seeking out other forms of pain relief and that’s where Acupuncture comes into play! The stimulation of acupuncture needles improves blood circulation and helps you heal naturally. Undergoing treatment from Traditional Chinese Medicinal practices can also help your body begin producing natural chemicals that are used as painkillers, thus relieving chronic pain without the addiction. Acupuncture is believed to rebalance energy and qi (the body’s life force) in order to alleviate pain and boost overall health from the inside out!

While there are numerous ways to treat opioid addiction, the fact remains the crisis is one that will be dealt with for generations to come, both physically and financially. If you have additional questions about opioid addiction and how you may benefit from acupuncture treatments, reach out to us, and schedule an appointment!

Recent studies have suggested that using acupuncture as a preventative approach to colds and flu can reduce the incidence of upper respiratory tract infection and shorten the duration of the illness. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine work by rebalancing the body’s systems, regulating the body’s healing energies, and enhancing the immune system.

Even though germs, bacteria, and viruses are everywhere—in the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink—according to Chinese medical theory, they do not cause disease. Illness occurs when our Wei Qi and our meridian organ systems are weak and out of balance. When this occurs, it creates a hospitable for germs, bacteria, and viruses to thrive, leading to a cold, the flu, or worse.

What in the world is Wei Qi? One of the main theories supporting acupuncture and its treatment of colds and the flu is the concept of Wei Qi. The concept of Wei Qi is similar to the Western concept of the immune system. It functions as a barrier in protecting and defending the body against foreign substances, which can cause illness and disease. When it is strong and abundant, we remain healthy. When the supply of Wei Qi becomes inadequate, health is compromised, and we become vulnerable to outside invaders.

Throughout our lives, a variety of factors affect our health and well-being. Although most of the time we recover quickly and regain our health, when these factors are numerous, our internal mechanisms become compromised and weakened. Our Wei Qi becomes depleted, and we get sick. By the time we notice the symptoms of our illness, the body’s self-regulating, self-balancing, and healing systems have already been affected.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine support and strengthen the systems of the body that are involved in the production of Wei Qi and can help rebalance and support the immune system and stimulate Wei Qi energy. By building up the supply of Wei Qi and facilitating the smooth and free flow of it throughout the body, the body’s organs and meridian systems become strong, enhancing their ability to effectively fight off illness and disease.

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine are safe, natural, and effective ways to support the body’s self-regulating, self-balancing, and healing systems. If illness does occur, acupuncture can help you get back on your feet again, helping to stave off prolonged illness without the use of medication and over-the-counter drugs.

Tips for Staying Healthy:

• Consume 8-10 glasses of filtered water daily

• Practice Tai Chi regularly to support the immune system

• Eat a healthy, organic diet, including foods with beta carotene (carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes, garlic, and tomatoes)

• Limit sugar intake. Sugar taxes the immune system, especially when feeling under the weather

• Talk to your acupuncturist about herbs that can support your immune system

• Get plenty of rest

• Enjoy fun and relaxing activities

• Stimulate specific acupuncture points that support Wei Qi – such as Stomach 36 • Schedule regular acupuncture treatments to support the body’s self-regulating, self-balancing and healing systems

Acupuncture is an excellent remedy for recovering from jet lag. Acupuncture helps reset circadian rhythms naturally. How can acupuncture help you get a better night’s rest? There are both Eastern and Western ways of answering this question.

Recent research has demonstrated acupuncture increases free adenosine levels by 24 percent (Goldman, 2010). Adenosine is the opposite of caffeine and helps explain why most acupuncture patients often take a little nap during their treatment, wake up feeling refreshed and also enjoy a great night of sleep after treatment. Research indicates acupuncture can increase melatonin while reducing insomnia and anxiety (Spence, 2004). Another study demonstrated acupressure bands placed at H7 increases melatonin secretions (Nordio, 2008). H7 is located on the wrist above the pinky finger (illustration). You can try to make your own acupressure patch: place a small round seed, dried round bean, or bead on H7 using a Band-Aid or tape to affix in place. This point, Heart 7, is also called Shen Men meaning Spirit Gate. This point reduces excesses that disturb the spirit and the balance of yin/yang, such as jet lag and the disruption of circadian rhythms.

Sleep is contingent upon yin/yang being in balance. Yin/yang is more than this, but for the sake of this article yang is daytime and outgoing activities and yin is nighttime and quiet non-activities, such as meditation and sleep. When yang rises out of balance it accumulates in the head (headache, insomnia), Yin can accumulate in the feet (e.g. swollen ankles post-flight). When we travel over several time zones, our yin/yang balance is off-kilter. Acupuncture promotes sleep by rebalancing the flow of yin/yang. Light ‘pollution’ imbalances your yin/yang. Yang is light and yin is dark: try limiting your exposure to light when you sleep and travel at night by using an eye mask.

Receiving acupuncture to rebalance your circadian rhythms after you travel would be ideal. You can also try doing self-acupressure to reset your circadian rhythm! You can use acupressure to rebalance your yin/yang & circadian rhythms. Begin at Yintang, between the eyebrows, place your thumbs together and rub untoward the scalp, or place your index finger there lightly and rub in a clockwise circle. From Yintang move along to DU 20, known as 100 Yang Crossing – almost at the very top of your head (the fontanelle) it will feel tender: use your index fingers along the centerline of your head to gently rub down toward the back of the head. At the base of the skull, your hands separate as you continue to manage in little circles the occiput (back of your head). Pause and linger longer on tender points, especially GB 20 and Anmian (Peaceful Sleep) (illustrate) then move into massaging the ear. Start at the ear point for the pineal gland, just above where the ear lobe connects with the cheek. massage the ear lobe, then move up along the outer ear to stimulate insomnia 1 & 2 (illustrate): (perhaps Link to video demo?)

Hydrotherapy: Take a hot bath for your feet! This helps gather and nourish yin with an Epsom salt foot soak up to SP 6 (illustrate). Self-massage from K 1 (on the bottom of the foot) up to the inner ankle to SP 6. This will also help if you get swollen ankles when you travel.

Nutrition therapy: Melatonin is a hormone that helps us sleep, it is produced in the pineal gland, but studies show we can also experience a positive benefit from eating food high in melatonin because this hormone can be absorbed through the digestive system. Focus on eating foods that boost melatonin in general but especially the day before, during and post flying: tart cherries, Goji berries, kiwi, pineapple, bananas, oranges, oats, walnuts, almonds & sunflower seeds, mustard, cardamom, fennel, and coriander. Also load up on protein foods containing tryptophan, such as turkey or pumpkin seeds. When traveling consider making your own melatonin-boosting granola bars or trail mix (gorp). For more foods that naturally boost melatonin see: http://www.immunehealthscience.com/foods-with-melatonin.html

Try aromatherapy! Essential oils should always be diluted! Place a dab of lotion in your hand and add one drop of a single essential oil or one drop of a blend: lavender, Ylang Ylang, and/or cedarwood essential oil. (Blend Recipe)

Recently, the American College of Physicians have recommended non-drug therapies to treat low back pain.   The report came out also in response to help with the opioid crisis. One of the non-drug therapies they mentioned is acupuncture. The report was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Acupuncture is recommended as part of the first recommendation.

The first recommendation in the reports says: “Given that most patients with acute or subacute low back pain improve over time regardless of treatment, clinicians and patients should select nonpharmacologic treatment with superficial heat (moderate-quality evidence), massage, acupuncture, or spinal manipulation (low-quality evidence). If pharmacologic treatment is desired, clinicians and patients should select nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or skeletal muscle relaxants (moderate-quality evidence). (Grade: strong recommendation)”

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine is a complete medical system to diagnose and treat disease. It has been shown to be very effective for low back pain both acute and chronic. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine is a viable and natural form of medicine to help with low back pain and to avoid surgeries.

At Master Lu’s Health Center in Salt Lake City, we help people everyday with stress and anxiety utilizing Chinese medicine including acupuncture and herbs. Acupuncture has been shown to help reduce stress. We have helped hundreds of people with stress related health conditions.

Stress is part of everyday life. The ancient Chinese physicians realized that stress affects the body physically. In the Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic, one of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, there are discussions how emotions are connected to our body and if there is an imbalance of emotions then disease will arise. Stress can be an emotion or feeling that will cause physical disease to the body. One definition of stress is “a physical, chemical, or emotional factor that causes bodily or mental tension an may be a factor in disease causation.”

Stress can be our body’s way of telling us that we need a break and time to relax from our daily routine. When we don’t listen to our body when we have a lot of stress disease and health problems will arise.

Cortisol is the hormone that is released into our body when there is stress.   It has a relation with the fight or flight response. When we have chronic stress and don’t mange it well, the cortisol levels will become elevated and out of balance. When we have high cortisol levels in our body, we will have problems such as insomnia, weight gain, depression, anxiety, digestive issues and mental illness.

What can we do help manage stress? Acupuncture has been shown to help with stress.   When you get an acupuncture treatment you will feel a relaxed feeling come over your body. Acupuncture will allow the blood to flow better throughout your body and cause you to feel more calm and relaxed. Many times our patients will even fall asleep on the table during an acupuncture treatment.

There have been studies done that acupuncture will act on the brain and release chemicals, hormones, and neurotransmitters to help heal the body. One of the hormones that acupunture will release is cortisol. Acupuncture will allow the cortisol to be at balanced levels to help manage stress. Acupuncture will also release seratonin and dopamine to help with sleep and insomnia.

Another way acupuncture helps with stress is to maintain the heart rate. Acupuncture will help regulate the heart rate. Many times when people are stressed their heart rate gets fast. Acupuncture will help slow down the heart rate and keep it at a rate that will help combat stress.

When you have high stress for very long time, you will begin to feel effects from stress physically. You will have digestive problems, insomnia, heart palpitations, and feel irritable. Acupuncture will help with the physical effects of stress. If you are on medications because of stress, regular acupuncture treatments will help you to reduce your medications and cut them out.

Stress will also cause digestive problems either constipation or diarrhea. Acupuncture will help with stress related digestive problems. Many people will have irritable bowel syndrome which gets worse with stress. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine will help harmonize and manage the stress that will help alleviate the IBS.

Besides acupuncture, exercise is very important to manage and help with stress. Tai Chi is one form of exercise that will reduce stress. Tai Chi will help with calming the mind, stress reduction, flexibility, coordination, and strength. Acupuncture, Tai Chi, and Chinese herbs together will help you manage stress and prevent you from having stress related illnesses.

There are something medically everyone knows you should do. You should see your family physician at least once a year, your dentist at least twice a year and your 0ptometrist every couple of years. But not everybody knows about acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine and the many benefits it can provide for you. When thinking out how you should care for your health, setting up a regular check up with your acupuncturist could help reduce how many times you have to go to your family doctor. Why should you set up regular appointments with an acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner? Let’s look at how getting regular acupuncture treatments can help you stay happy and healthy.

  1. As you start getting a regular check up by an acupuncturist, you will start to look at your health from a completely different perspective. With Chinese medicine you are playing a more active role in understanding your health and how to take a deeper look into how you can control your health, which may allow you to veer away from some of the mainstream medical practices such as multiple pharmaceuticals. After time many long-term acupuncture patients find they no longer need all the medications prescribed by their family physician, because the symptoms have been controlled using acupuncture.
  1. Acupuncture is great for prevention. In the ancient times Chinese physicians were paid for keeping the imperial leaders in China healthy. Chinese medicine is a prevention medicine. Because regular acupuncture treatments can balance hormones and boost immunity, there is a good chance you won’t need that annual flu shot or all those over-the-counter cold medications. A trained acupuncturist can spot a problem like decreased immunity from a mile away. It can appear as symptoms such as chronic fatigue, insomnia and even body temperature fluctuations. A couple of treatments can make a big difference.
  1. What about relieving some of that extra stress we all deal with? Yes, regular acupuncture treatments can keep that at bay too. Many people don’t equate being poked with tiny needles as a relaxation technique, but it truly is relaxing. Many patients actually fall asleep after or while the needles are being placed.   Acupuncture changes the physiological state of your body and releases different hormones, neurotransmitters, and chemicals that will put your body in a relaxed state. The effects can last for days or even weeks. So the next time you feel irritable and overwhelmed, check out your local licensed acupuncturist.
  1. Regular acupuncture treatments can help you save money. What? It’s true. This goes back to the previous benefits. If you don’t need as many pharmaceuticals, you will ultimately save money. Also, conditions like stress, anxiety, fatigue and depression can keep you from going to work, possibly costing you several days of pay. But with regular acupuncture treatments, your moods can be more effectively managed and you won’t need to miss work as frequently.
  1. And the most popular reason to get regular acupuncture treatments is that it will help you remain pain free. We all have aches and pains. But research has shown acupuncture is more effective than opioids for controlling pain such as arthritic joint pain. It is also be incorporated into hospital emergency rooms throughout the United States, so people don’t need as many pain medications. As a matter of fact, in Asia, acupuncture is sometimes used by itself during and after surgical procedures to treat pain.

While many of you may have a needle phobia, don’t let that deter you. Acupuncture is part of an amazing medical system that has been around for nearly 3,000 years. In comparison, Western medicine has only been around for about 200 to 250 years. That puts things in perspective a little, especially when you consider most people in Asian countries live longer, happier, healthier lives than almost everybody in the United States. There’s no better time than the present to start a good habit. Just be sure to seek out a fully trained and licensed acupuncturist. Your whole life just might change for the better. If you are interested in trying acupuncture for the first time and have questions feel free to call us or come in and talk to one of our licensed acupuncturists at Master Lu’s Health Center in Salt Lake City.
