Positive Side Effects of Acupuncture

By admin | Published November 6, 2017

During an initial session of acupuncture, most practitioners began with an extensive health intake that goes over all of the systems in the body. We use this to determine certain patterns of imbalance, allowing us to treat the root cause of issues. This is one way we differ from Western medicine. continue reading »

Give Back While Taking Care of You

By Amy Landolt | Published October 31, 2017

Each month I will block two slots where you can book an acupuncture appointment and 50% of the treatment fees will go to the nonprofit featured that month. You should bring a separate check to write out to the nonprofit in case they don’t accept online donations.

The nonprofit for the month of February is the Evanston Community Foundation. 50% of your treatment fees will help the ECF enable Evanston nonprofits and community organizations to deliver their mission more effectively .

The Evanston Community Foundation appointments are available at 9 am on Wednesday 2/12 and 1pm on Tuesday, 2/25. Call me at 815.814.1319 to book one of those slots.

Let me know if you have suggestions about local nonprofits to consider for future months.

Note: I stole this idea from Table 23 at  Koi in Evanston. When dining at Koi, you can request to sit at Table 23. Each month, they select a local nonprofit that benefits from the proceeds at Table 23.

Building Protective Qi with TCM

By admin | Published October 16, 2017

Everybody gets sick at some point in their life. For some, it’s just a quick weekend thing. For others, it can last for several days and even weeks. Why do some people always get sick whenever there is a bug going around and others don’t? It all comes down to immunity. People who have a stronger immune system, tend to be sick less often. Those with compromised or weak immune systems, seem to get sick at the drop of a hat. There are many things that can be done to strengthen the immune system though. And Traditional Chinese Medicine is probably one of the best and least invasive ways to boost the immune system, not just during the winter months, but all year long. continue reading »

Five Ways to Increase White Blood Cell Count with TCM

By admin | Published October 2, 2017

Leukopenia is a term used when there are less than adequate white blood cells in the bloodstream. This condition may make those suffering from it susceptible to infections. Leukopenia is often seen in diseases such as AIDS, cancer and lupus, as well as in common occurrences like the flu or a cold. Leukopenia can also be medically induced, as is often the case for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. While there are several prescription medications available to battle this condition, most of them also have multiple adverse side effects. But there are alternative natural methods that can increase white blood cell count without the side effects. One of these is Traditional Chinese Medicine. continue reading »

Acupuncture and Alcohol Detoxification

By admin | Published September 18, 2017

Alcoholism affects nearly 16 million adults in the United States, yet only approximately 1.5 million Americans actually seek and get help to deal with their addiction. According to the National Center for Statistics and Analysis, nearly 88,000 people die from alcohol-related deaths every year, which makes alcohol the fourth leading preventable cause of death in the United States. After all the research that has been done on alcohol, people in the United States are still dying from something completely legal. And ultimately, we are paying for it, not just with our lives, but also with our tax dollars. continue reading »

“Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see the greatness within you, even when you don’t see it yourself.” Edmund Lee

There are many times when it seems as if your friends ARE the oxygen. When the oxygen isn’t quite flowing right through your mask, they will give you their oxygen while you are fixing your mask.

I am fortunate to have friends who support me in my journey of “Putting My Oxygen Mask on First”. Think about whether you have people in your life who will provide the following areas of support: continue reading »
