I recommend a visit to those readers who struggle with CFS.

“In traditional Chinese medicine, balance is the goal. The kidneys are your source of yin and yang. When you are in excellent health, the relaxed yin state is in balance with the adrenal yang state. When you experience an excess of yin or yang influences, the problem may be in the kidneys. Any chronic imbalance can eventually cause a deficiency in the kidneys. In traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys are your most important organs. They regulate your internal qi (chi). If you are strong physically, and sound mentally and emotionally, you have abundant kidney qi.”

www.playfuls.comnews

Ginger and acupuncture can help reduce nausea during pregnancy.

Whether raw, in tea or in capsules, ginger noticeably lessens nausea, according to the Professional Association of Gyneacologists(BVF) in Munich.

The study showed that taking Vitamin B6 and stimulating certain acupuncture points by applying light pressure to body parts also helps. Special bands worn on the wrist can stimulate those points.

Changes in diet can also help, says the BVF. Women suffering from nausea should eat more meals, but smaller portions or eat something before they get up in the morning.

Three of every four women suffer from nausea or vomiting during the first trimester of pregnancy. It is most likely caused when hormones boost metabolic or pancreatic activity. Pancreatic function tests area recommended for especially bad problems.

Mon Sep 25, 2006 4:49 PM BST
By Amy Norton

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Acupuncture may offer women an alternative for easing hot flashes during menopause, preliminary research suggests.

In a study of 29 women with frequent, daily hot flashes, researchers found that those who received acupuncture began to have fewer and less severe symptoms during the night.

As nighttime hot flashes improved, so did the quality of the women’s sleep, the researchers report in the journal Fertility & Sterility.

Hot flashes are a common part of menopause, and women who get them often have difficulty getting a good night’s sleep. Hormone replacement therapy is effective at quelling hot flashes, but given the risks of the therapy — including increased risks of heart disease and breast cancer — many women are interested in alternative treatments.

The new findings offer preliminary evidence that acupuncture works, but it’s too early to recommend the procedure for hot flashes, senior study author Dr. Rachel Manber told Reuters Health.
