Two years later, Mary was out of a job and only able to work a few hours a week as a volunteer doing light office work.

Help! My Hair is Falling Out!
There is nothing worse than a shower drain full of hair, especially if it's yours and it's falling out fast. Or perhaps you run your fingers through your hair and come up with a handful. Your hairbrush is full and you're finding stray hairs lots of them on your pillowcase. What's going on? Your hair is constantly falling out and regrowing, and most people lose an average of 50 to 100 hairs a day. However, if you're... (posted by Lynn 2 years 120 days ago.)

Ten Healing Foods Used in Chinese Herbal Medicine
When we think about Chinese medicine, most of us immediately think of acupuncture, however, the use of herbs in healing is a cornerstone of Chinese medicine, too. The theory behind herbal medicine is that each herb exerts several different effects on the body through its inherent temperature, actions, and the organ(s) that it affects. Like herbs, foods also have healing properties. However, some... (posted by Lynn 2 years 184 days ago.)

Natural Help for Heartburn
You've got what feels like a three-alarm fire under your ribcage or at the top of your chest. Maybe you just overindulged in a gourmet meal or knocked down a chili dog with the works. You belch; maybe drink a little water, but the fire burns on. That after-dinner hell you're experiencing is most likely heartburn. What causes heartburn is actually a muscle in your lower esophagus falling down on the job. That muscle, your... (posted by Lynn 2 years 230 days ago.)

What Do You Crave?
Not long ago, a young woman, Elaine, came to my clinic to be treated for depression. During her first appointment, I asked her a number of questions about her health and lifestyle. When I asked her what foods she craved, her answer surprised me. She said that she craved frozen vegetables.

Help for That Pain in Your Butt: Acupuncture for Piriformis Syndrome
It happened to me about three days into a week long kayaking trip in the middle of nowhere. I woke up one morning and tried to walk down the beach to wash my face, but my leg, or more accurately, my butt wouldn't cooperate. I could walk, but just barely, because a nagging pain on the right side of my low back and butt was causing my leg to give out. It wasn't until a week or two... (posted by Lynn 2 years 342 days ago.)
