I don't know why, but I have been suffering from Cough for more than 1 month now.
Always after my exercise, start feeling down and having cough. Used to do exercise everyday though.
So yesterday, I felt really good and did some walking....today....my energy level is too low to eve cook my food.
Well...what I can do is taking enough rest and once I have good enough energy, have to give myself an acupuncture treatment.
Hello!! Welcome to my blog. I would love to talk about Acupuncture, Alternative medicine and health!! If you have farther question, please just e-mail me at ryoko@familywellnessacupuncture.com.

Acupuncture for PMS
PMS....Premenstrual Syndrome....
I treated so many ladies who were suffering from PMS.
Symptoms are usually....
Moodiness, Lower abdominal and/or back pain, Sleepiness, Depression, Brest tenderness, increase appetite, luck of concentration, etc....
then...why is this happened????
The reason why is... Hormone level...progesterone and estrogen....both are really important hormone for females body system which is getting pregnant and having menstruation.
I kind of don't want to have a monthly period at all, but this is very very important to have regular bleeding. Regular means not every month. Some people have only every 3 month or so!
Anyway, my PMS symptoms are really really bad for long long time, but since start taking herbs and regular acupuncture treatment, it seems better and not really having emotional crash every month!

Acupuncture and me
Why did I start thinking studying an Acupuncture??
When I was a high school student before the college entering exam, I got sciatic nerve pain. Ortho Dr told me that there were no way other than pain killer, but this pain killer would make me sleepy....but I had to study for entering exam, right??
So there were no confidence with my Dr, but...he recommended me to get an acupuncture treatment.....that's the beginning of my Acupuncture life.
Acupuncturist was really nice guy and he always make me feel relax....and release my pain.
Then...I was thinking...oh, how I could be like him....western medicine could not help, but other way.....then I found my college "Meiji University of Oriental Medicine" which was far away from my home.....8 hours driving a way.
Anyway, I took the entering exam and passed and got in my college.
My mom and grandma were not happy about that because....being acupuncturist in Japan was more for blind people's job....BUT!!! you know I anyway went to my college and studied for 3 years and took exam and passed and one more year to be an intern...then graduate with Bachelor in Acupuncture in 1996.

Weight management
I start dieting when I was a high school student.
First thing I did was stop eating oily foods which were fried food and fatty meat.
After high school, I went to college and stop eating meat because meat was very expensive for me.
However, when I started college life, I gained 20 pounds in a month because I was so so sad to live alone and ate lots of bread every single days.
Until something happened, I was 20+ pounds bigger.....and I did not like myself at all....

Very long time
It has been really long time since last posting.
My life changed a lot.
My office moved to Irvine from San Rafael.
There is no patient yet in the new office, but I really hope that I can have some clients soon at my new office.
