Fibromyalgia is an often crippling condition that affects mostly women. Not only are experts divided on the causes of Fibromyalgia - even disagreeing on whether it's a real condition - they struggle to treat the chronic pain, insomnia and fatigue that come with it.

In that blog, I tried piecing together some of the leading research that seeks to explain HOW acupuncture works, how stimulating the body at specific spots along energy channels causes such a profound effect on the human body.
Recently, The Wall Street Journal published an…

www.harmonyhealthsrq.comSo you've twisted your ankle ... again!
Few things are more aggravating or, at times, embarrassing. Who hasn't twisted an ankle performing a really simple task? And once you've turned it into a pretzel, your workout routine is shot for days, even weeks. All of a sudden it's hard to walk around the house.
While the accident happens in a flash, the opposite is true about the recovery. Overcoming the…

Why is that? From a Chinese Medicine perspective, the answer's simple.

The Chinese are using their most expensive science project ever, a powerful X-Ray machine called a synchroton, to unravel the mystery of how acupuncture works.

What would it be without the heart? Simple renditions of it are drawn and pasted everywhere ... on cards, windows, clothes, candy and more. Significantly, Valentine's Day is one of the few times of year we're actually invited to think with our emotions, and not separate logic from feeling.
I can honestly say I've been happier since…

Menopause ... Many women just seem to survive it.

Chances are you've never had a
Tui Na massage. More likely than not, you've
probably never heard of Tui Na (Tway-Nah).
If that's the case, you should read on. Because this ancient form of therapeutic massage is a little-practiced linchpin of Chinese Medicine.
Operating on the same energy-moving principles of acupuncture, Tui Na essentially replaces needles…
