Acupuncture - How Does It Work?

Here's a good one!

If you have been wondering how acupuncture works, I think you will then enjoy this read. I wrote this paper for my doctoral candidacy, and it was well received by many students at Emperor's College who were looking for a good essay to give patients that were curious from a western perspective on how acupuncture works. Let me know what you think.

It's explains acupuncture from a neuro-physiological perspective. Plus, it was published in CJOM (California Journal of Oriental Medicine) which is a quarterly national magazine educating patients and practitioners about Oriental medicine.

Enjoy!

Acupuncture and Migraines

Here's an article I wrote for "Acupuncture Today" [Sept. 2007, Vol. 08, Issue 09] called "Oriental Medicine and Migraines" that I think those of you with migraines (or, if you know someone with migraines) will benefit from.

Being someone who suffers from migraines myself for over twenty-five years, there are helpful tools in this read.

Enjoy!
