~ Carol Prokop. Also posted on Google Reviews!
I needed relief from chronic pain in my back, hips, and sciatic nerve. I have had these problems for a number of years. My doctors used physical therapy, and pain medication. I can no longer take anti-inflammatory medication. My acupuncture treatments have helped a lot. I can now relax, and I feel almost pain free. It has helped my attitude also. My activities have improved. Michele is a wonderful person, caring, compassionate, and an excellent acupuncture therapist!

After two back surgeries, I was still having a great deal of pain. A friend told me acupuncture helped him with shoulder pain. I was a little skeptical but decided to give it a try. I didn’t want to stay on Percocet pain killers forever. After receiving acupuncture treatments, I was amazed how it helped with the pain. It isn’t gone but it is at least bearable. I only occasionally need to take a pain killer, and that is when

I know it works because I took a five week hiatus from acupuncture treatments and experienced hot flashes so severe that I actually did not want to live. With four treatments I was back to feeling great with only a very occasional minimal hot flash. Acupuncture is relaxing and uplifting.

What is color light therapy, and what are its benefits?
Color light has been used for thousands of years to promote healing, relieve pain and for spiritual attunement purposes. There are records of color light healing from as far back as ancient Egypt and Greece. In modern times, low level light has been used for pain relief, cancer therapy, addictions, facial rejuvenation, treatment of depression and much more. Color light is also used as a form of acupuncture treatment, and provides a stronger body-mind-emotions connection than traditional needle therapies.
How does color heal the body?
Photons (light particles) and phonons (sound particles) have been shown to be integral parts of the body’s amazing internal communication network. This “living matrix” also includes neuro-peptides such as hormones and neuro-transmitters. Research in Russia has confirmed that light actually travels through the meridian system, as has been confirmed using sensitive test equipment called a photo-multiplier.
Each color (wavelength) of light carries information to the cells of the body, and gently triggers improved functions. For example, the liver is very sensitive to Red and Green light. Red stimulates a sluggish, weakened liver, while Green reduces inflammation and helps smooth the flow of Qi, or life energy associated with the liver. Orange light helps treat hypo-thyroid conditions with fatigue, weight gain and dry skin by boosting thyroid hormone output, while Indigo light has the opposite effect, reducing hyper-thyroid conditions such as nervousness, weight loss and goiter.
*The application of micro-current and color light through acupuncture points has been shown to be particularly powerful for shortening treatment times and improving results for acute and chronic pain patients and for cosmetic facial rejuvenation anti-aging treatments.

Quick Tips to Keep You Stress Free
Quick Tips On How You Can Release Stress And Feel Your Best:
- Go for a brisk walk, be sure to exercise regularly at least 3-5 times per week. As a plus, you can rub peppermint essential oil onto your temples, or rub into sore muscles before or after exercise.
- Get Adequate fresh air and sunshine, at least 15-20 minutes per day. Just for your information extra virgin coconut oil has natural SPF properties of 10, and lavender is a wonderful oil to blend with it for added soothing sensation to the skin. Not mention lavender naturally helps ease feelings of tension.
- Take time each day for meditation at least 5-10 minutes. Try yoga, or Tai-Chi. Great essential oils to diffuse in the air or rub onto your temples and third eye (center between eyebrows) is arborvitae and frankincense.
- Start each day with gratitude and positive affirmations. Lemon essential oil may help stop the negative self-talk. Lemon oil is uplifting to the mind, and when applied on the base of the skull gives a sense of courage and hope.
- Use a daily planner to stay organized and on track. This helps minimize overload, and feeling overwhelmed. Many people are turning back to a written planner that allows you to plan both personal and work priorities. Examples of planners are The Law of Attraction Planner or Passion Planner. You might like to try peppermint, lemon, or melaleuca essential oils rubbed over the middle to outer edge of your right foot, and on the base of your skull, and temples.
- Eat a healthy balanced diet. Rub diluted oregano and melaleuca oil on the bottoms of your feet for a cleansing feeling, and ginger and peppermint oil over your tummy to support digestion.
- Acupuncture and cupping can help to keep your Qi-energy balanced, improve circulation, balance hormones, and reduce stressful feelings. Treatments are designed to build upon the next with a cumulative effect. Each treatment is created with you in mind to help you move from where you are right now to where you’d like to be.

Ways to Keep Your Memory Sharp
Don’t forget about physical exercise
Believe it or not, when you’re exercising your body, you’re exercising your mind as well. Aerobic exercise gets your blood pumping, which increases the oxygen going to your brain and lowers your risk of disorders such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease that can lead to memory loss. If you can, start with some exercise in the morning. This can clear your head right off the bat to stay focused and alert during the day. Exercises that require coordination are especially helpful for keeping the mind active such as simply throwing a ball back and forth. continue reading
