Age Rejuvenation and Cosmetology - The Revitalization of Body-Spirit

In the context of all my treatments, I do not just address medical problems a patient may have, but, over the course of time, rejuvenate the body as a whole bringing a whole new sense of well-being. In Ayurvedic Medicine this is called "Rasayana" or "The Path of Sap".

In Chinese medicine, it is said that one is as old as one's kidneys. However, the meaning of the kidneys here, is not just the organ that filters water as in Western physiology, but, rather, a whole energetic system that encompasses the reproductive system, the adrenals and other aspects of the endocrine system.

And so, we derive our life substance through the kidneys. We are endowed with a prenatal essence (called Jing in Chinese Medicine or Ojas in Ayurveda). In fact, this essence is what we inherit from our parents, our entire genetic code being implicit in its nature. As we get older, this becomes depleted, yet, through diet, supplements, herbs and lifestyle, this precious essence may be preserved and even created during the course of our life.

And so, in the course of treatment, whether including Acupuncture or Acupressure or simply nutritional protocols, patients will feel more energy, sleep better, have improved immunity, and feel and look younger. It just works that way, especially with an awareness that places this at the core of any protocol.

Patients may also elect to embark specifically on a cosmetology program. As with a general rejuvenation program, these are personally designed to support the inner Body-mind. Acupuncture treatments are given once or twice per week. The treatments employ body points to support Qi (the body's energy) and blood as well as specific points on the face located according to the patient's needs. In addition, there will be facial Acupressure, massage and toning (called Guasha) utilizing special oil combinations (with essential oils) that are most therapeutic to the patient.

You will be supported with herbal formulas (both Chinese and Ayurvedic), nutritional counseling and exercise, utilizing weight loss and detoxification approaches where necessary. Also, my patients are provided with a specially prepared oil and shown face toning methods they can employ between treatments to enhance the effects. Give it a try and shed some years!
