Acupuncture Face-Lift:
Rejuvenation from the Outside In

Many people in recent years have used acupuncture for “face-lift” or “facial-toning” treatments. We went looking for acupuncturists who specialized in facial rejuvenation acupuncture and found the authority at the Tao of Wellness in Santa Monica, California. One of the founders, Dr. Maoshing Ni, is a licensed acupuncturist and a board certified anti-aging health practitioner. Along with his brother, he also founded Yo San University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Los Angeles.

Allergic Rhinitis from a TCM Perspective

What exactly is allergic rhinitis?
When a person is first exposed to a specific allergen, such as house dust and pollen, certain antibodies bind onto the mast cells of the upper respiratory tract, triggering a release of histamine from the mast cells. This results in an increase of nasal secretion, congestion, itching, and sneezing - a condition we call allergic rhinitis.
