About Addiction Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the practice of inserting thin solid needles into specific points of the patient’s body to treat different conditions, diseases and disorders. Although acupuncture has been practiced in China since around 2500 BC, it has recently gained popularity in Western countries as an alternative medical intervention. Acupuncture is also growing in popularity worldwide as an alternative treatment option for a variety of ailments, including addiction. Acupuncture for addiction is typically used in conjunction with other treatment options, including therapy, peer support groups and even medication-assistance.

Acupuncture & Addiction Treatment

Acupuncture works by inserting needles into specific points in the body, stimulating the nerves and other systems, also producing endorphins in the body. Acupuncture can reduce stress and anxiety while providing a calming feeling, this can assist with addiction and trauma. Auricular acupuncture or acudetox involves inserting needles into the ear, easing the symptoms of withdrawal and addiction. It is important to note that acupuncture is not a cure all and should be used in conjunction with other addiction treatment options to improve results of long-term success.

Gastrointestinal Acupuncture Clearwater, FL

Clearwater acupuncture for digestive problems works by nourishing the related organs, reducing inflammation of the stomach/pancreas and improving digestive functionality. During your Clearwater gastrointestinal treatment, Dawn will identify specific acupuncture points in the body. These acupuncture points speed up metabolism, increase gastrointestinal muscle contraction/relaxation, reduce gastric acid secretion, regulate small/large intestine function and restore stomach acidity to normal levels.

Along with acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine in Clearwater and stress reduction techniques, can be beneficial in the treatment of general gastrointestinal symptoms. In addition to acupuncture for digestive problems, Dawn Potter Acupuncture also offers Clearwater moxibustion, a technique of applying the herb mugwort to acupuncture points. Dawn Potter will also work with patients about dietary and lifestyle changes that can correct dietary imbalances and help regulate digestion.

Natural Allergy Relief in Clearwater

For many people that have never suffered from allergies, the last few years have been a rude awakening. With pollen counts higher than ever, what are we to do? Many people take an allergy or antihistamine medication that can have nasty side-effects. At Dawn Potter Acupuncture, we take a more natural approach to allergy treatment in Clearwater, Florida and today we are providing natural allergy relief tips for our whole community.

Drink More Water

Did you know that not drinking enough water can actually make your allergies worse? Dehydration can increase histamine levels in the body, directly impacting your allergies, even those seasonal ones! We recommend drinking 10-15 cups of water each day to ensure you stay hydrated.

Reduce Inflammatory Foods

Did you know that the foods you eat can directly impact your seasonal allergies? Foods such as dairy or gluten can increase inflammation in the body, causing histamine to also be higher. We recommend an anti-inflammatory diet during your worst allergy symptoms.

Change Clothing

Pollen can actually get trapped on our bodies and our clothing. If you have spent time outside, we recommend changing your clothing and trying to rinse off. This can get extra pollen off of you, reducing your reaction to it.

Start Clearwater Chinese Herbal Medicine

While we don’t recommend just adding random herbs to your diet/life, ginger is something that is readily available and easy to add to water or tea. Dawn can also schedule an appointment with you to discuss your symptoms, health and other factors to determine an individualized Chinese herbal medicine regimen that can help with your Clearwater seasonal allergies.
