- [An Overdue Welcome](https://acuzen.com/an-overdue-welcome/) - I am overdue in writing this article. My patients have been asking when they can expect some more wellness tidbits, and I am thrilled that people follow my articles and look forward to reading more. I have a good excuse for being tardy with my articles, though. And the topic this week is actually about
- [Brrr! It’s Cold Out There!](https://acuzen.com/brrr-its-cold-out-there/) - The recent weather makes for great conversation as we can all commiserate about the frigid temperatures. As the cold seeps into your bones, you cannot get inside fast enough. The cold, dark, short winter days can leave you feeling drained. This can cause a downward spiral in your overall mood, and cause a lack of
- [Neurological Disorders And Acupuncture](https://acuzen.com/neurological-disorders-and-acupuncture/) - Neurological disorders are of great concern today. In addition to stroke recovery, other widespread neurological conditions include migraine headaches, Bell’s palsy, Ramsay Hunt syndrome, post-concussive syndrome, and vertigo, all of which are more common than one might realize. Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in the U.S. (www.strokecenter.org), and, according to the CDC,
- [Rough Waters](https://acuzen.com/rough-waters/) - Whether by lecturing or by writing articles, I enjoy educating people on the amazing benefits of acupuncture. I occasionally write from interesting locations while on vacation or traveling for medical conferences. The logistics this time were a little more complicated. I am drafting this article aboard a cruise ship currently floating in the middle of
- [The Miracle Of Light](https://acuzen.com/the-miracle-of-light/) - It is not often that Chanukah and Christmas fall out during the same week. The joyous celebrations can be felt in our homes and around our community regardless of one’s faith. Central Avenue is decked out in lights, and the Chabad chanukiyah seems to have grown even bigger in Cedarhurst Park this year! It is
- [How Acupuncture Works](https://acuzen.com/how-acupuncture-works/) - “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” This is a famous quote attributed to Thomas Edison that headlines on my website, and a daily mantra in my practice and
- [The Sniffles](https://acuzen.com/the-sniffles/) - We can all agree our seasons have blended together this year. While we didn’t have much snow, it stayed cold for a long time. It felt as though winter was never going to leave us. As far as spring . . . well, apparently we skipped over that pretty quickly and have jumped right into summer temperatures.
- [Diagnostic Methods](https://acuzen.com/diagnostic-methods/) - The first time I meet a new patient, I spend a significant amount of time on an initial intake. The type of medical history I take is unfamiliar to someone who has never been to a practitioner of holistic medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, diagnosis is different than what one may be accustomed to. Even
- [Winning Skin](https://acuzen.com/winning-skin/) - I’m writing this article on a JetBlue flight taking me to Vegas for a convention. It is my first time going. Had someone told me I’d be going to Vegas during Aseret Yemei Teshuvah, I’m certain I would have laughed at the preposterous notion. Yet here I am scribbling notes atop the plane’s tray table.
- [Connecting The Dots](https://acuzen.com/connecting-the-dots/) - When scheduling a new patient, I set aside an hour and a half for the initial consultation and acupuncture treatment. This may seem like an excessive amount of time to spend with a patient, as most patients are accustomed to seeing their physician for a grand total of six minutes. Additionally, the length of the
- [A Stop-Smoking Protocol](https://acuzen.com/a-stop-smoking-protocol/) - The National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA) has a protocol known as “battlefield acupuncture,” a type of auricular acupuncture that is widely used to treat various addictions. The ear is a microcosm of the whole body, thus you can efficiently treat a multitude of syndromes from acupuncture points on the ear alone. The NADA protocol can
- [Abracadabra](https://acuzen.com/abracadabra/) - I once hired a magician for my son’s birthday party. I remember vividly the children’s eager faces as they watched the magician perform his tricks. He transformed different items before our eyes, pulled coins out of the children’s ears, and even pulled a bunny rabbit from a hat. It was mesmerizing, even though the adults
- [Good Vibes](https://acuzen.com/good-vibes/) - I believe that the positive energy vibes we put out into the world can be passed around and make a difference. Words can make or break someone’s day. They can encourage a child to work harder in school, or unfortunately to feel defeated. The right words can make people feel that their daily struggle is
- [A New Year, A New You!](https://acuzen.com/a-new-year-a-new-you/) - I have never believed in New Year’s resolutions. I am not one to try and make promises that I can’t keep. It doesn’t make a difference to me if those promises are to other people or to myself. I prefer to stick within the realm of my own reality and try to accomplish the regular
- [When The Acupuncturist Gets Sick](https://acuzen.com/when-the-acupuncturist-gets-sick/) - The homepage of my website has a quote from Thomas Edison that reads, “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” These are words I live by and
- [What’s That Smell?](https://acuzen.com/whats-that-smell/) - Those of you who are already patients of mine know I take pride in my office. It is essential to me that from the moment you walk in the door at AcuZen, you have left some, if not all, of your troubles behind. They are checked at the door as you enter into a place
- [Ladies First](https://acuzen.com/ladies-first/) - It is a common misconception that acupuncture is primarily used for back pain, joint pain, and headaches. While acupuncture is certainly very effective for these conditions, many people are unaware of the extensive reach of acupuncture and the many other conditions it can benefit and heal naturally. While I treat many men in my practice
