Acupuncture as Effective as Meds for Migraines

By Acupuncture Wellness | Published July 24, 2013

Acupuncture for migraine patients proved as effective as standard drug therapy in reducing the number of attacks — but so did sham acupuncture, according to a German study.

The report, published online March 2, 2006 by TheLancet Neurology, presented the findings from the German Acupuncture Trials migraine study, a randomized, controlled trial of 960 patients with two to six serious migraine attacks a month.

A surprising result was the efficacy of sham acupuncture, the researchers wrote. “Ultimately, one could argue that the efficacy of treatment, especially a treatment with almost no adverse events or contraindications, is more important than the knowledge of the mechanism of action of this particular therapy,” Dr. Diener concluded. “The decision whether acupuncture should be used in migraine prevention remains with the treating physician.”

Moira’s July Newsletter-Healthy Skin With Acupuncture

Keep Your Skin Healthy With Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine

Acupuncture and Oriental medicine can be very effective at treating skin conditions. Treatments can provide quick relief for acute symptoms as well as significant and lasting relief from recurrent or chronic skin conditions.

The skin reflects and reacts to imbalances within the body’s internal landscape and the effects of the environment. Internal disharmonies caused by strong emotions, diet, and your constitution can contribute to the development of a skin disorder. Environmental influences, such as wind, dryness, dampness, and heat can also trigger or exacerbate skin disorders.

To keep your skin healthy and beautiful on the outside, you must work on the inside of your body as well. Increasing the flow of energy, blood and lymph circulation improves the skin’s natural healthy color. Promotion of collagen production increases muscle tone and elasticity helping to firm the skin. Stimulating the formation of body fluids nourishes the skin, adding moisture and making it softer, smoother and more lustrous.
