Something New for Pain – Evil Bone Water!
Zheng Gu Shui or “Evil Bone Water” has been around for over 500 years as a Chinese Herbal Formula to Treat Pain.
This Evil Bone Water is made by Saint Acupuncture, right here in the USA.
It’s good for Broken Bones, Joint Pain & Arthritis, Bruises, Muscle Cramps or PMS Cramps, Sprains, Sports Injuries, Carpal Tunnel and Insect Bites.
It is an all natural, plant based formula that goes Amazingly Well with our
other Superstar Pain Product, Tiger Mom CBD Roller.
We put Evil Bone Water on first where you are having pain, then we roll on the Tiger Mom CBD and . . .
BAM! It’s a 1 – 2 Punch to knock out pain. The Evil Bone Water gets in deep to the bone (or the joints) where the your pain is, and helps Tiger Mom CBD get in deeper and faster to provide pain relief. Both Evil Bone Water & Tiger Mom CBD are rich in anti-inflammatory properties while significantly reducing pain, helping the muscles feel looser and restoring Range of Motion to stiff joints and muscles.

Did you know? Acupuncture can help Osteoporosis!
By Bradley Stiles, L.Ac.
Do you suffer from Postmenopausal Osteoporosis? Acupuncture can help!
In a recent study acupuncture with moxibustion has been shown to outperform a supplementation of calcium added into the diet. The study used three groups, a calcium supplement control group, an electro-stim acupuncture group, and an acupuncture and moxibustion group. If you are not familiar with electro-stim, it is exactly what it sounds like. Acupuncture is applied and then an e-stim machine is attached to the needles and applies electrical current through the needles. Moxibustion is the burning of the herb mugwort, also known as Moxa, at the location of an acupuncture point. Warm needle acupuncture is moxa applied to the needle so that the needle itself is warmed up.
Receiving treatment once a day for 30 days, data was gathered on visual analog scale pain scores. Additional data was logged in the form of the biomarkers serum insulin growth factors (IGF-1), serum interleukin 6 (IL6), and tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-A). Acupuncture points that were chosen were BL 11, BL 23, and GB 39 and were “proven to produce subjective and objective results” through the study.
If you are interested in knowing more information or the specific details of the study please read the study itself which can be found below.

How Acupuncture Can Help You with Your Chronic Pain
By Bradley Stiles, L.Ac.
Can acupuncture help you with your chronic pain?
YES!
The National Institute of Health (NIH) believes so saying “Results from a number of studies suggest that acupuncture may help ease types of pain that are often chronic such as low-back pain, neck pain, and osteoarthritis/knee pain. It also may help reduce the frequency of tension headaches and prevent migraine headaches. Therefore, acupuncture appears to be a reasonable option for people with chronic pain to consider. “
When I started writing this blog post there were over 700 studies on the relationship between acupuncture and chronic pain on PubMed (short for Public Medical Database, an online resource that complies verified scientific data on all different kinds of research experiments). This positive relationship is well documented and well known. The science behind acupuncture and its reductive effect on pain is one of the reasons most insurances cover acupuncture today. (Thank Goodness!) New scientific research is coming out all of the time!
It is even being used in many hospitals and even in some Emergency Rooms/departments. Below I’ve linked two studies that have shown positive changes that were statistically significant in Pain management outcomes through the use of acupuncture. This means that acupuncture performed better than a placebo effect. Please read the studies below if your interested in knowing more.
With the current opioid epidemic if you know someone that is interested in coming off of their pain meds we at Cloud 9 would love to work together with their doctor to manage the patient’s pain levels with the goal of their doctor either suggesting a reduction in their amount of medication or (with physician supervision and approval) the patient is able to come off medications altogether because symptoms have disappeared by completing a series of acupuncture treatment protocol .

Earth Constitutional Factor
By Kelly Ferguson, L.Ac.
You may hear your practitioner speaking about your CF or Constitutional Factor, and you are probably asking yourself what that means? In Five Element Acupuncture Theory there are five elements or seasons that we use to help diagnosis and understand our patients. We have each of these elements within us, but we prefer one to two of them over the others. Those elements that we unknowingly prefer or align with are what we would call a person’s Constitutional Factor or CF. Within each CF there are the meridians, colors, odors, sounds, emotions, personality traits, seasons, etc. that go along with it.
One of these Constitutional Factors is called Earth. The season for this element is Late Summer which we are getting ready to head into. This element is very grounding or centering. It allows us to nurture ourselves and those around us. Earth CF’s can sometimes sound like they are singing as they are speaking. They tend to have a yellow complexion to their skin around their eyes, and their odor can be a bit sweet smelling. The meridians that go along with Earth are spleen and stomach meridians.
Kelly sees patients on Tuesdays & Thursdays 12p -8pm, Saturdays 10am-3pm in Timonium, and Wednesdays 12:30pm-7:30pm in White Marsh. Read more about Kelly at https://cloud9acuclinic.com/kelly-ferguson-acupuncturist/
