Acupuncture: A Conversation with a Doctor of Oriental Medicine

January 9, 2009 - 9:24am 343 reads 0 comments

I asked her about those who are dying, and she said that acupuncture helps them to relax, and can relieve pain if they are suffering.

We talked about the large number of people who are overweight and she stressed that a diet rich in vegetables, particularly the green ones, fruits, and protein is extremely important. Oh yes, and hardly any sugar. When I was treated by her I recall how difficult it was to have coffee with no sugar. I thought I would never make it through, but I found that by having no sugar I lost weight, although that was not really the intention.

Finally, I said my goodbyes to her comfortable environment where there is no stress in the air, nor strange hospital-like smells. It was all very relaxing.
