Two common patterns of urinary tract infections are the retention and accumulation of Damp Heat in the body, and Spleen and Kidney Deficiency. Damp Heat accumulation can be due to the consumption of hot spicy foods, meals high in fats and sweets, alcohol consumption, certain medications, and improper personal hygiene.

Acupuncture has a very positive effect to migraine
Acupuncture has existed for over 4000 years in China and is a comprehensive medical system with its own principles, diagnostic methods and therapy. For over 2000 years now, acupuncture has been a popular method of treating chronic pain in the world. Cancer patients are also being treated with acupuncture to deal with pain brought about by their ailments. The use of this famous alternative treatment has a very positive effect to migraine. Even before, many sufferers of migraine have been using acupuncture and surprisingly, it helps. One of the best reasons why many opt for such treatment is because it has less if no side effects at all. The treatment deals with root cause of the pain rather than curing the symptoms.
Scientific Evidences of Acupuncture to Stop Migraine
A study published in the British Medical Journal was the first study to provide extensive explanation and discussions on the effect of acupuncture in treating migraines. And other kinds of chronic head ache. In the study, most of the 401 adult patients of migraine and severe headaches were given 12 sessions of acupuncture. It was shown that those who were treated with the needles have 22 fewer days of headache in one year and they used less medication and less visits to their doctors as compared to those who have not undergone acupuncture. In addition, many studies and reports showing : migraine could be cured by acupuncture therapy, depends on the patient continue receiving regularly acupuncture treatment. The concept of acupuncture is to treat, using needles, and the tension points in the body that obstructs blood flow and unleashes energy. Acupuncture helps in balancing the level of serotonin in a patient’s body. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter responsible for ensuring blood flow in the blood vessels in the brain, relieving pain caused by migraine. As an alternative treatment, it is not surprising to know that only little studies were made to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating migraines. Despite these situations, anecdotal evidences that can be traced thousands of years back have made acupuncture as a potential treatment for migraine and related painful diseases.

Besides stress, anxiety, palpitations or panic, the other symptoms are a racing heart, muscle pain or severe tension, heightened blushing, insomnia, irregular eating habits, a lack of concentration brought on by extensive irritability, and finally a complete loss of a sex drive.

morning sickness

The following is an excerpt from the" Mail Online ,Friday, Mar 22 2013 ": Cure morning sickness with acupuncture

"Acupuncture is already one of the most popular alternative therapies and now doctors say acupuncture can help cure morning sickness. Experts studied 600 women suffering from the symptoms that can make the early months of pregnancy a misery for many mothers. The women were all less than 14 weeks pregnant. Those given 20 minutes of acupuncture a week made remarkable improvements. Dr Caroline Smith, who led the research, said: 'Around 50 to 80 per cent of all pregnant women experience nausea or vomiting in early pregnancy. 'As a result they can have poor quality of life - they feel lousy and may be low in spirits, anxious, and find it hard to do everyday things. 'Our results have shown that as little as one treatment can significantly change the way these women feel. ' We found that traditional acupuncture reduced nausea throughout the trial, with dry retching being reduced from the second week.' 'The traditional Chinese technique proved most effective. Women now have an additional option to manage their morning sickness,' said Dr Smith. 'They function - physically and emotionally - much better after both types of acupuncture. 'I hope this exciting evidence that complementary therapy does work will open up new opportunities for funding future research in women's health.' Dr Richard Halvorsen, a GP and spokesman for the British Medical Acupuncture Society, said: 'There is more good evidence that acupuncture is effective for nausea and vomiting than for any other condition. 'I have treated women with morning sickness and found it to be very effective.' This technique, which originated in China more than 2500 years ago, is used by more than five million people a year in the UK."

Eustachian Tube Dysfunction (ETD)

The Eustachian tubes connect the middle ears to the nose. The tubes help the ears drain fluid (mucus) from the middle ear. They also keep air pressure in the ears at the right level. The Eustachian tube is normally closed, but it opens from time to time in the back of the nose, for example when you yawn or swallow. When you pinch your nose in an effort to "pop" the ears open, air is forced up the Eustachian tube to equalize pressure in the middle ear space.

rhinitis

Acupuncture may be a safe and effective treatment for allergic rhinitis with benefits over conventional medicine.

Acupuncture may help to relieve pain and congestion in people with allergic rhinitis by:
• regulating levels of cytokines, mediators of the allergic reaction to extrinsic allergens; • stimulating nerves located in muscles and other tissues, which leads to release of endorphins and other neurohumoral factors, and changes the processing of pain in the brain and spinal cord; •reducing inflammation, by promoting release of vascular and immunomodulatory factors; •enhancing natural killer cell activities and modulating the number and ratio of immune cell types; •increasing local microcirculation, which aids dispersal of swelling.

Long term sinusitis is often caused by repeated infections by the common cold or influenza viruses. Part of the problem with this condition is anatomical. The openings into the nasal cavity are narrow and so if there is already inflammation, then further infection and inflammation makes the cavities prone to blockage. This results in stagnation of fluids in the nose and sinuses.

Due to it stubborn nature, the herbal medicine is often best for the treatment of sinusitis.
