Walnuts and Your Brain
Many people like to add walnuts to food to add some zest and a little crunchy kick, but walnuts are much more than a flavor additive, as they are chock full of healthy properties and have been used in Asia as an overall health tonic and brain booster for years.

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.

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/
