| Restore Your Skin! |
 |
7 SIMPLE STEPS TO SKIN
RESTORATION:
1) Let a professional determine your skin
type:
Oily skin will be oily all over;
Combination skin will be oily in the "t-zone;"
Normal skin won't be oily at all;
Dry skin will be tight and possibly flaky;
Sensitive skin will look red.
2) In your morning routine, counter sun and
other
environmental damage with a moisturizer, vitamin C
and sunscreen. At night, fight fine lines with a night
cream that has retinoid or peptides.
3) Follow your aesthetician's instructions. Be
careful,
the wrinkle and blemish fighting products you
purchase from a licensed professional are much
stronger than anything you can buy from a
department store. More is not better.
4) Stay positive and don't get discouraged,
anti-
aging products take 60-90 days to work. Remember,
it took years to do the damage -- don't expect
results over night.
5) Eat healthy and drink 10-12 glasses of
water a
day.
6) Take a multi-vitamin and Omega 3
supplement.
7) Exercise at least 30 minutes every day.

| Drink Tea for Good Health |
 |
Tea has been considered a healthful beverage
throughout history. Thanks to their polyphenol
antioxidants, all three types of tea — white, green,
and black — confer impressive preventive health
benefits, and modern research provides strong
evidence that its reputation as a cancer-fighting
agent is warranted. Research results indicate that
tea may offer a variety of other benefits, as well:
- Enhanced immune function
- Lowered LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels
- Increased HDL ("good") cholesterol levels
- Reduced blood pressure
- Thinner, less clot-prone blood
- Reduced risk of stroke
- Enhanced digestion
- Prevention of dental cavities and gingivitis
Many of these health benefits stem from the high
levels of antioxidant polyphenols in tea, which belong
to the same family of healthful polyphenols found in
red wine and dark chocolate. Polyphenols neutralize
cell-damaging free radicals, which also turn on
cancer-promoting genes and oxidize LDL cholesterol,
which promotes build up of artery-clogging plaque.
White tea contains the highest levels of
antioxidants, followed by green tea and black tea.
White and green teas possess 20 to 30 times the
antioxidant potency of vitamins C and E. The longer
fermentation that black tea undergoes converts their
polyphenols to related antioxidants, primarily
theaflavins. These compounds are generally weaker
antioxidants, but appear comparably beneficial for
heart health and in certain cancer-prevention
contexts and in some regards, produce even stronger
beneficial effects (e.g., anti-HIV activity).
Rest assured, you can enjoy a quiet cup of any type
of tea and know that you are drinking to your own
health.

We are Here to Help You Stop Smoking! |
|
|
|
So you say you're just a "light"
smoker?
Consider these facts:
When "light" smokers (one to four cigarettes per day)
were compared to non smokers in a recent study,
men were three times and women five times more
likely to die of lung cancer.
While it is true that cutting
back on cigarettes can reduce your risk of
lung cancer, most people do not realize that smoking
as little as just a few cigarettes
a day still increases your risk for a heart attack by
over 300%!
Being exposed to second hand
smoke
regularly is nearly equivalent to being a "light"
smoker.
We are here to help you or your
loved one finally beat this killer
with a special program:
Smoking Cessation Program
Includes:
4 Acupuncture Sessions
40 Days of Herbal Formulas &
8 Weeks of Ear Tacks, Rotated Weekly
only $350
Paid for separately, this program would cost $595!
Please commit yourself today to making further
efforts to stop smoking. You can also get help
by calling the
American Cancer Society's Quitline
at 1-877-YES-QUIT.
"What can be done about blocked, unbalanced
Qi?"
After the initial consultation and examination, the
acupuncturist completes the diagnosis and begins
carrying out the treatment plan. The objective is to
normalize the flow and distribution of Qi and balance
its circulation by stimulating the selected acupoints
via needles or other means. The treatment plan will
most likely call for treating one to twelve or more
points on each visit. At the practitioner's discretion,
herbal therapies may be prescribed.
Please email me any questions you may have
about acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
