As an acupuncturist, it is important to live the healthy life that I try to encourage my patients to live. I also am well aware that I
have to be healthy so that I can go to work every day and help my patients be healthy too. So, after many years and trying various things,
this is my list of the five things I try to do every morning to keep myself healthy, balanced and sane. I hope they will be helpful to
you too.
Meditation
Meditation is probably one of the most important things that I
do for myself every day. I notice a huge difference in how I feel physically,
emotionally and psychologically from my morning meditations.

Q:What sets asthma apart from regular breathing problems and
what are some natural treatments for asthma?
A: People who are having an asthma attack have real trouble taking a breath. Many people with stuffy
noses from hay fever or colds say, “I can’t breathe,” but they retain the option of breathing through the mouth. Asthmatics, however,
know what “I can’t breathe” really means. Instead of their nasal passages, it is the bronchial tubes in their lungs that become swollen
and clogged. Breathing can become frighteningly difficult.
Asthma involves two conditions: (1) contraction of the small muscles surrounding the bronchial tubes and (2) swelling of the lining of
those tubes. Until recently, treatment usually addressed the first aspect of asthma; but in the last decade, it has become clear that
tissue swelling is more fundamental.
