Acupuncture: A Conversation with a Doctor of Oriental Medicine
A few days ago I had a conversation with Doctor of Oriental Medicine Suzanne Smart about the incredible healing powers of acupuncture. I had previously been a patient of Suzanne's because I was suffering from a pain that medical doctors could not help me with. In a moment of quasi despair, I telephoned her and made an appointment. With regular sessions,a special diet, and herbal treatments the pain disappeared.
Seated in the comfort of her office for our talk, she described how acupuncture essentially unblocks energy that is logged up in a part of the body when there is an emotional issue. Pain can of course be caused by physical ailments having nothing to do with emotions.The treatments are accompanied by a diet and herbal medicine, for the most part.
Most of Suzanne's patients are women because women are more concerned about body maintenance than men are. They are also more aware of the essential connection between emotions and physical symptoms. Suzanne told me she treats infertility, menstrual irregularity and pain, migraines, lupus, fibromyalgia, unpleasant effects of menopause, and more.
Suzanne works with cancer patients and those who are terminally ill.
