  • Under : Acupuncture, Health & Wellness

Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. It is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox, and it typically affects adults who have had chickenpox in the past. Shingles can be a debilitating condition, causing significant pain and discomfort that can last for weeks or even months.

Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medical technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and promote healing. While the scientific evidence for acupuncture is still limited, many people believe that it can be an effective treatment for a wide range of conditions, including shingles. More and more doctors are recommending it to their patients.

It means having the right balance of tiny bacteria and other microbes in your digestive tract. We need the beneficial bacteria to outnumber the bad bacteria which thrive in an unhealthy environment.

Good bacteria are the ones that help break down our food, manufacture vitamins (vitamin K and most B vitamins) and moderate our immune system – over 70% of your immune cells reside in the gut.

Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain in adults. This heel pain and tenderness shows up most often at the bottom of the foot where the arch meets the heel. Typically, the pain is aggravated during the first steps in the morning or after rest. Most of the time it goes away on its own but it can take months or even years. Some people don’t respond to physiotherapy or pain killers, resulting in years of pain and missing out on activities.

Sadly, so many women suffer every month with painful periods. They suffer in silence, some thinking that this is normal.

Yes, menstrual cramps start out strong when we are teenagers, but they shouldn’t be debilitating.
