Herbal Blend Infused Salve & Lip Balm


I had infused blend of herbs 6 weeks ago to make herbal salve for patients with eczema and atopic dermatitis. 
Last Saturday, the oil was finally ready.


I made ointment for my patients and named them 'aCURE Salve'
and with leftover oils, added organic shea butter, organic coconut oil, wheatgerm oil, vitamin e, bee wax and made lip balm.
Here are some pictures of aCURE Salve and aCURE Lip Balm.

Just for your information these are some ingredients to avoid 
when choosing a Lip Balm

  • Fragrances and artificial colors can cause lip irritation
  • Menthol, camphor and phenol cool and anesthetize the lips, but can also dry your lips and/or produce redness and swelling
  • Alcohol is also a drying ingredient
  • Salicylic acid exfoliates and relieves pain but don’t use if you’re allergic to aspirin
  • Aloe butter moisturizes, heals and soothes, but can irritate lips

Germ Warfare

Germ Warfare
You never have to wonder when the “cold and flu season” is around the corner.  Big Pharma will be sure that you are reminded of its impending arrival no matter where you turn.
When the dreaded season of doom drapes its black curtain over us, whatever you do, don’t come within sneezing distance of anybody, don’t even think about shaking anyone’s hand or otherwise engaging in bodily contact, and NEVER, EVER touch a doorknob, shopping cart, or any other object that might have possibly come into contact with any human at any point during its existence.
Buy into the hype and you’ll find yourself locked away in a dark room waiting for the hazmat team to give the “All Clear.”
Big Pharma and the medical community at large are depending on you to buy into the hysteria; to leave the fate of your health and well-being up to the questionable workings of chemical-laden pills and shots rather than the innate power that runs your body and the living world around you.
The reality is that germs don’t make you sick.  Rather, your body’s inability to fend off germs and foreign invaders is what results in you succumbing to illness.
Think about it… How is it possible that a family of 5 people living under the same roof can have completely different reactions during flu season?
Assuming that everyone is exposed to the same germs and viruses, if the sickness were attributed completely to the virus, everyone would get sick and exhibit the same reaction and symptoms.
What happens in reality is that one or two family members get ill while the others don’t.  Clearly the issue is not the germs, but the body’s response to them.
Chances are the last time you got sick you were running yourself ragged; missing sleep, eating improperly, slacking on your nutrition, all stressed out from work, skipping your acupuncture sessions, and neglecting your workouts.  This is a vicious pattern that many of us fall into and it’s one that weakens the body and allows germs to take hold.
Your best defense against the flu, colds, or any other germ-borne illness is not to drug yourself, but to bolster your internal defenses.  You stand your best chance of being at your healthiest when you have an optimally functioning nervous system and immune response.

So come in for an acupuncture tune-up, keep your lifestyle habits in good order, and maintain a positive attitude. Do so, and those pesky little germs don’t stand a chance! 

What are GMO foods?

Here is a very good article for you to start with.

Here is another link to what scientists found when they studied health effects of Roundup Ready Corn, beyond Monsanto's 90 day study. 

Republished study: long-term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize


They repeated Monsantos finding, but when they went beyond 90 days the inconsequential problems Monsanto identified were CANCER.







Fit vs Health

We have all read the unfortunate headlines.
37 Year Old MLB Baseball Pitcher Dies of Heart Attack
NHL Hockey Player Found Dead in Condo at Age 35, No Foul Play Suspected
Olympic Skater’s Life Cut Short at 28, Dies of Natural Causes
These were elite athletes at the top of their sport.  Were they fit?  There’s no question about it.
Were they healthy?  Not so much.
Let’s be clear.  These athletes were certainly healthier than the majority of us.  The very fact that they were competitive athletes at the top of their game required the physical work and commitment to get them there.  The nature of their body composition, physical conditioning, and cardiovascular endurance left them less predisposed to many of the chronic ailments that tend to plague those of us with a more sedentary lifestyle.
On the other hand, a truly healthy body just doesn’t suddenly quit working. So clearly there is a big distinction between being physically fit and toned on the surface, and possessing genuine health and wellness underneath.
A physically fit body is typically a body that feels good and exudes health and vibrancy.  But this often belies the fact that sickness and disease, such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders, can be festering undetected under the surface.  Another prime example are meridian imbalances, which most of the time develop and progress painlessly while robbing the body of its vital energy. 
So clearly, gauging your level of health and wellness based simply on the way that you look or feel on the outside can be a very dangerous practice.
In addition, a common misconception is that you can somehow exercise away an imbalance.  This simply is not the case.  While exercise is essential, and certainly encouraged for its plentitude of benefits, the only correction for an imbalance is an acupuncture treatment.  Once the change is made, exercises, especially those specific to your condition, will serve to complement it.

So while health and fitness is certainly encouraged, exercise alone will not carry you to the pinnacle of health.  The foundation of healthy living is a powerful free-flowing meridian system free to help the body without interference.  That foundation is built by acupuncture.
