The Tale of
Gluten Boy
http://www.bluepoppy.com/blog/blogs/blog1.php/2009/11/30/the-tale-of-gluten-boy
This mildly entertaining blog entry illustrates how it’s not just WHAT you
eat, but HOW (i.e. in what frame of mind) you eat something. It illustrates the
concept of Liver Qi Stagnation, or stress, invading the Spleen/Stomach. In other words, it’s sometimes just as
important to address behavior/lifestyle as it is the particular components of
your diet.

Moxa May
Treat Menopause Symptoms
By Tina
Beychok, Associate Editor
Hot flashes are one of the most
common symptoms of menopause. In one study of 638 menopausal women ages 45 to
54, approximately 75 percent reported experiencing hot flashes.1
Another study shows that loss of sleep due to hot flashes may lead to daytime
fatigue and irritability.2
Now, a study
published in the July-August 2009 issue of
Menopause may
have a solution.3 Moxibustion therapy has been used to treat other
obstetric/gynecologic conditions such as ovulation problems, breech
presentations and dysmennorhea.4-6 According to researchers at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Korea Institute of Oriental
Medicine in Seoul, it can also alleviate menopausal hot flashes. (See rest of article.)
