Stuffy noses and Mucus...and what acupuncture can do for it.

Every day, glands in the linings of your nose, throat, airways, stomach, and intestinal tract produce mucus. Mucus is a thick, wet substance that moistens these areas and helps trap and destroy foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses before they cause infection. Normally, you don’t notice the mucus from your nose because it mixes with saliva, drips harmlessly down the back of your throat, and…

Kidney 7 - Returning Current

Kidney 7 is my very favorite point to release the iliopsoas muscle when it is tight and is causing hip, back or leg pain.  It’s also a very big point to bring body fluids into balance – so it’s great for edema, urination issues, excessive sweating, night sweats.  On a deeper level when a patients yin is depleted this point can help – so it’s nicknamed “returning current”.

Did you know the quality of your pulse - the eay your pulse feels - can tell an acupuncturist alot about you?

Pulse diagnosis is one of the ways we have to figure out what is going on with someone’s health. Is the pulse strong or weak? But also when we place three fingers on the pulse we are checking on the health of the different organ systems. So for example, I’ll often check to see if someone has a healthy kidney pulse - if it’s weak I know they are fatigued and I know they have less energy for me to work with in a treatment. If all of their three pulse points are weak I know I need to be careful of how much I do in a treatment. Pulses tell us a lot when trying to create at a TCM diagnosis. . #pulse #acupuncture #tcm #chinesemedicine #glensfallsny #glensfallsliving #lakegeorgeny #lakegeorgenewyork #queensburyny #saratogasprings #saratogaspringsny #upstatenewyork #naturalhealing #naturalhealthcare #naturalhealing #wellnesswednesday #wellnesslifestyle #wellness #wellnesstips #ny #integrativehealth #integrativemedicine (at Acupuncture Nirvana) https://www.instagram.com/p/CScRu_tnT75/?utm_medium=tumblr

Carpal Tunnel syndrome is one of many ailments that acupuncture can treat! Here is an example of what acupuncture points are used to treat Carpal Tunnel. These acupuncture points help flush inflammation out of the region minimizing pressure on the median nerve that runs down your arm through the wrist. These points also nourish the wrist with fresh blood which has a healing effect. Acupuncture is most effective when Carpal Tunnel is first starting and not advanced. If this is something you or someone you know struggles with, we are happy and able to help! 🌟 ❤️Acupuncturist Alyx . #carpaltunnel #carpaltunnelsyndrome #carpal #carpaltunnelrelief #wristpain #wristpainrelief #glensfalls #glensfallsny #lakegeorge #lakegeorgeny #lakegeorgenewyork #queensburyny #saratogaspringsny #saratogasprings #adirondack #adirondacks #upstatenewyork #upstateny #acupuncture #acupunctureworks #acupuncturepoints #chronicpain #chronicillness #getrelief #painreliefoptions #mediannervecompression #nurse #physiciansassistant #nursepractitioner #painreliefoptions https://www.instagram.com/p/CSO11LCn3Zw/?utm_medium=tumblr

How does acupuncture affect the body? According to John Hopkins, “ Acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system. This, in turn, releases chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These biochemical changes may stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being.” A lot of people describe acupuncture affects in different ways, from how it releases tight muscles, to its ability to relieve fascia constrictions, to its ability to improve blood circulation and decrease inflammation, to its ability to calm an agitated nervous system down or release endorphins to help pain….the fact is acupuncture affects a lot of things! .

Trigger point therapy is using needles to manipulate the muscles to release and relax - which diminishes pain levels. It’s a great form of therapy with quick results! When the muscles release, lactic acid is released too, similar to weight training. So there is a temporary soreness that follows the treatment that same day and sometimes into the following day. Be sure to drink lots of water on the day of treatment for this therapy! It will help flush the lactic acid out of the body shortening the time of soreness, allowing you to enjoy the relief that much sooner! 💪🏻 ❤️Acupuncturist Alyx . #triggerpointtherapy #triggerpoint #dryneedling #dryneedlingtherapy #water #drinkwater #drinkwaterreminder #drinkwaterdaily #drinkwater💧 #glensfalls #glensfallsny #glensfallsliving #queensburyny #argyleny #fortannny #upstateny #upstatenewyork #lakegeorgeny #lakegeorgenewyork #adirondacks #adirondack #adirondacklife #musclepain #musclepainrelief #acupuncture #acupunctureworks #acupuncturerocks #lacticacid #weighttraining #wellnesslifestyle https://www.instagram.com/p/CR83MTuH60y/?utm_medium=tumblr
