 Treating
Chronic Open-Angle Glaucoma with Acupuncture &
Chinese MedicineBy Andy Rosenfarb, MTOM, Dipl. Ac., Dipl. C.H. Over the last 10 years, in my practice I have specialized in TCM Ophthalmology. I have made quite a few significant clinical observations through diagnostic testing, treatment and direct feedback from my patients. In my clinical practice, I incorporate TCM with nutrition and “functional medicine.” Functional medicine uses methods to measure how weak (yin) or stressed (yang) the body’s organs, glands, and systems may be. Among these include blood sugar, adrenals, thyroid, pituitary, oxidation, hydration, ATP-energy production, etc. Both TCM and functional medicine look to uncover patterns of disharmony. The idea is to relate the patients symptoms (glaucoma in this case), to the underlying disease pattern.  |

It
is springtime! A time of growth in nature and a time of irritation is in
store for many people. This irritation usually begins at our nose and
can travel in eight directions (east, west, south, north, in, out, up
and down) to cause itchy eyes, sinusitis, headaches, sore throat, ear
congestion, dizziness and infections.
Our
bodies are what we can call a microcosm. Let's use the earth as an example of a
macrocosm. As a comparison to the earth, smoking can be signified as the source
of air pollution to an individual, such as "smoke" in the air from exhaust from
cars, factories, etc. Trees are signified as the "Lungs" of the earth, which
purify the air. Now, when someone is smoking, the internal body is occupied by
the energy of the "smoke." Then the Lungs have to work harder to purify the body
system. When someone is addicted to cigarettes, the body cells and internal
organs are constantly living in a polluted environment.
