Auckland Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine – Dr. Win Clinic

my experience of chinese medicine treatment for my bulimia

I’ve been trapped by an awful psychological illness for almost 6 years now. 6 very long years full of pain, irritation and self-destruction. Seeking help from Chinese medicine never really occurred to me, until one day while reading the Chinese newspaper I came across an article on Dr. Win Huang. It outlined his experience in neurological science and his skill in treating psychological issues through acupuncture. I was officially diagnosed as bulimic in 2007. What started out as a rare thing to happen once a couple of month’s deteriorated to the point where I was doing it almost every day. With all this torture I was putting my body through; it was no surprise I was feeling very out of place, emotionally, physically with others in life, and physically within my own body. I wasn’t sleeping well, had constant headaches and dizziness and fatigue, not to mention the pale look I always had on my face.

I felt I had no hope, but I didn’t want to give up just yet- so I decided to go see Dr. Win and ask for his help.

I reluctantly told him of my whole experience including my physical symptoms and emotions too. He spent a good hour talking to me, part of his strategy in planning my cure.

I have now been seeing him for 2 weeks, and it is just absolutely amazing what his practice has done for me. With the combination of acupuncture, cupping, ear acupuncture, Chinese medicinal herbal drinking medicine, and meaningful talks with him, I have only been bulimic once since seeing him.

However, it is not just that, but also I am able to sleep so much better despite the occasional headache and fatigue. I regularly feel happier and just more at ease with my health and body.

I know I am still not entirely better yet; that  I’m still not fully “normal”, but I know that with ongoing persistence and belief in Dr. Win Huang, I can fully recover.

Dr. Win Huang has truly shown me the astonishing and remarkable effects of Chinese medicine. He understands my illness and sees it as being similar to any other addiction, just like drug addiction, alcohol addiction and smoking. Through the same principles as these addictions, he has miraculously turned my life around for the better. I will be continuing to see him until I am fully better.

Yang Chen

In New Zealand there are thousand of Chinese medicine doctors, some of them are good and professional Chinese medicine doctors, but some of them are no good and unprofessional. It is difficult to patient to look for or choose a good and professional Chinese medicine doctor, because they do not know and understand the Chinese medicine’ system of education and practice in china \ new Zealand and in the world. I know that in china a good name Chinese medicine doctor must studied in Chinese medicine university for 5 years, and practiced in Chinese medicine hospital or in Chinese medicine department of western medicine hospital for several years. It is a fact to there is a Chinese medicine university and Chinese medicine hospital in every province of china, so a Chinese medicine doctor who come from china need get a certificate of Chinese medicine university and a certification of Chinese hospital, then the Chinese medicine doctor can practice in New Zealand in Chinese medicine clinic very well. It is a fact too to there are different departments of Chinese medicine university and of Chinese medicine hospital, so Chinese medicine students will mainly study different subjects and Chinese medicine doctors will practice in different Chinese medicine departments, it is that some of them mainly practice acupuncture, some of them mainly do Chinese medicine massage, some of them mainly take herbs medicine.

5 Steps to a Healthy Heart with Acupuncture

Newsletter JulyFebruary is the American Heart Association’s Heart Health Awareness Month, emphasizing the dangers of heart disease and the importance of heart health.

Heart disease includes conditions affecting the heart, such as coronary heart disease, heart attacks, congestive heart failure, and congenital heart disease. Despite dramatic medical advances over the past fifty years, heart disease remains a leading cause of death globally and the number one cause of death in the United States.

By integrating acupuncture and Oriental medicine into your heart healthy lifestyle, you can dramatically reduce your risk of heart disease.

Taking small steps to improve your health can reduce your risk for heart disease by as much as eighty percent. Steps to prevention include managing high blood pressure, quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress and improved sleep – all of which can be helped with acupuncture.

1. Manage High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure makes the heart work harder, increasing its oxygen demands and contributing to angina. This excessive pressure can lead to an enlarged heart (cardiomegaly), as well as damage to blood vessels in the kidneys and brain. It increases the risk of heart attacks, stroke and kidney disease.

Acupuncture has been found to be particularly helpful in lowering blood pressure. By applying acupuncture needles at specific sites along the wrist, inside the forearm or in the leg, researchers at the Susan Samueli Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of California, Irvine, were able to stimulate the release of opioids, which decreases the heart’s activity and thus its need for oxygen. This, in turn, lowers blood pressure.

2. Quit Smoking
Most people associate cigarette smoking with breathing problems and lung cancer. But did you know that smoking is also a major cause of coronary artery disease? In fact, about twenty percent of all deaths from heart disease are directly related to cigarette smoking.

Acupuncture has shown to be an effective treatment for smoking. Acupuncture treatments for smoking cessation focus on jitters, cravings, irritability, and restlessness; symptoms that people commonly complain about when they quit. It also aids in relaxation and detoxification.

3. Maintain a Healthy Weight
Obesity is associated with diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary artery disease, all of which increase the risk of developing heart disease, but studies have shown that excess body weight itself (and not just the associated medical conditions) can also lead to heart failure. Even if you are entirely healthy otherwise, being overweight still places you at a greater risk of developing heart failure.

Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine are an excellent adjunctive tool when it comes to losing weight. They can help to energize the body, maximize the absorption of nutrients, regulate elimination, control overeating, suppress the appetite, and reduce anxiety.

4. Reduce Stress
Stress is a normal part of life. But if left unmanaged, stress can lead to emotional, psychological, and even physical problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure, chest pains, or irregular heart beats. Medical researchers aren’t sure exactly how stress increases the risk of heart disease. Stress itself might be a risk factor, or it could be that high levels of stress make other risk factors worse. For example, if you are under stress, your blood pressure goes up, you may overeat, you may exercise less, and you may be more likely to smoke.

Numerous studies have demonstrated the substantial benefits of acupuncture in the treatment of stress, anxiety and mental health. In addition to acupuncture, Oriental medicine offers a whole gamut of tools and techniques that can be integrated into your life to keep stress in check. These tools include Tui Na, Qi Gong exercises, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, meditations and acupressure that you can administer at home.

5. Improve Sleep
Poor sleep has been linked with high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart failure, heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, and obesity. Researchers have shown that getting at least eight hours of sleep is needed for good heart health and getting less than eight hours of sleep can put you at a greater risk for developing heart disease.

Acupuncture has shown great success treating a wide array of sleep problems without any of the side effects of prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids. The acupuncture treatments for problems sleeping focus on the root disharmony within the body that is causing the insomnia. Therefore, those who use acupuncture for insomnia achieve not only better sleep, but also an overall improvement of physical and mental health.

Visit your acupuncturist during Heart Health Awareness Month to see how acupuncture and Oriental medicine can assist you with your heart health and help you to live a long, healthy life.

Tips for Finding an Acupuncturist

When seeking out a professional acupuncturist, it is important to ensure that the acupuncturist is licensed and certified. Sterilising procedures should be used and more often than not, your acupuncturist will likely use disposable needles. If you are uncomfortable with the idea of needles, an acupuncturist may provide alternatives such as herbal methods, magnetic needles and ear cups. These are thought to provide similar results although are not considered as effective as acupuncture that utilises needles.
Whatever path you take to treating your problem, you can be relieved to know that you have many options, particularly alternative ones such as acupuncture. Hopefully, you will find a qualified acupuncturist who can listen to your concerns about the problem and begin a treatment plan that provides effective relief.

Despite finishing that work in Feb,symptoms continued to worsen thoroughout the year 2009.appetite was not good and I started having problems urinating.eapecially inthe wintertime when it was cold,I had sudden desire to go to the toilet –like an emergence.iIf I could not go to the toilet immediately it would hurt very much in my penis.

* When I feel hungry,it is very painful and sudeen.
* Wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat and have to urinate urgently.
* Feeling tired and low energy.
* Sometimes stools are very loose,sometimes Ok.Because I eat 5–6 small meal every day,I need to go to the toilet up to 5 times a day to pass stools.

Morning times are usually the worst.My appetite tends to improve in the afternoon and evening.

Next day I felt worse ,very unconfortable in all bady,I called Dr Huang to tell him what iI feel,in third day I felt very well,everythiong was fine close to normal.Today(30/01/10)it is my second acupuncture ,but I will boil the herbs at home every day.
